Amber Portwood Says She “Saved” ‘Teen Mom’ Multiple Times & Was More Like a Crew Member Than a Cast Member: “I Made Decisions!”

   
“I run things over there…as long as I don’t have to, like, run…or stand up or anything.” 

Amber was back on the couch— and back on TikTok Live— this week to discuss a cornucopia of crash-out topics, including the pull she says she had with the higher-ups at ‘Teen Mom,’ and how she saved the MTV reality show from ruin multiple times.  

“I wasn’t even, like, [a] cast [member] when I was on that show. [I] was like crew,” she said. “You don’t even understand! I made decisions for that s**t and never got paid for this, that and the other.”

“Really? Because we seem to remember sending you a couch-load of checks for being a trainwreck.”

“I’m not a f**king joke!” she insisted later on in the Live. “And I don’t get treated like a joke in this industry. I never have!”

This is legit what Amber looked like when she was proclaiming that she wasn’t a joke. You can’t make this up…

Amber stated that, despite the fact that she was edited to be the show’s villain, the producers knew to treat her like the celebrity that she is.

“They do what they do with their editing, but when it comes to behind the scenes, they know how to treat me! Don’t play with me. I’m done with it.

“I’m too old for this s**t!”

“Finally, she made a statement I agree with.”

Later, The Couched One added that she is well-known in the entertainment industry.

“In the inside of what I do, the actual people in this industry that know me— which is a lot of f**king people— a lot, seriously. They know me. They know I’m honest, and they know I’m going to give them exactly what the truth is.”

 

During the same crashout conversation, Amber accused producers of “covering up” things up for her fellow ‘Teen Mom’ stars.

“How they raise their kids, what they do, things that have happened that MTV covered up, all kinds of stuff,” Amber said, before going on to insist that she always showed the viewers her real life.

“My s**t’s never been covered up!” she said. “That’s the only difference.”

Amber called herself “one in a million” for giving viewers “the actual truth on a reality show.”

Basically…

“I showed the truth in life,” she continued. “I showed how addiction can mess you up. I showed the consequences of it. Everything. I showed everything!”

Amber went on to then proclaim that she was responsible for the show continuing as long as it has.

“I had to save this show multiple times! Multiple seasons! Even in an off-season when that s**t happened with my ex!” she insisted.

(The Ashley is pretty sure Amber is talking about her 2019 arrest for domestic violence against her second baby daddy Andrew Glennon.) 

“We weren’t filming anymore! The season was done three weeks before, but Paramount sent a whole crew, flew them out and all that!” Amber said.

“One thing about me is that I never miss an opportunity to film a trainwreck, even if it costs me a few coach airline tickets to Indiana!”

She then, again, reminded everyone that she “walked away from hundreds of thousands of dollars” by leaving ‘Next Chapter’ earlier this year.

“[Could you walk away] just because you saw it was messing up your family?” Amber asked. “Probably not…let me tell you something right now. I’m a f**king woman. I’m 35. I could give you wisdom that a 67-year-old could give you. That’s where my life went. And that’s something I’m proud of because at least I learned something from it. But that’s just the truth, and that’s why I help so many f**king people.” 

After about 40 minutes of Ambie yammering, her TikTok Live pal seems to be regretting his life choices that brought him to this moment…

“Stop thinking of me as the way that they’re portraying me,” Ambr added. “I’m the villain of the show, right? I played it well, didn’t I? It is what it is. I know how to do my job.

“I’m too good at my job. I’ve been told that by so many f**king people. I’m good at my job. I’m very good.”
