Amber Portwood‘s feud with Ashley Jones escalated to a whole new level on Wednesday, with the Teen Mom: The Next Chapter co-stars going head-to-head in an epically nasty battle on TikTok Live.
(And, before you leave the comment asking The Ashley “Don’t you have anything better to do with your time?” allow The Ashley to answer that question right now: No, The Ashley does not.)
Amber and Ashley— who have years’ worth of beef stemming from when they both appeared together on the second season of Teen Mom Family Reunion— have sparred back and forth on TikTok Live over the last few months, but Wednesday marked the first time that the girls actually squared off in real time to battle it out.
As The Ashley previously reported, Ashley ripped Amber last month on TikTok Live after the season finale of ‘Next Chapter’ showed Amber scolding her daughter on-camera. After that, Amber responded to Ashley and the girls have been at each others’ throats online since.
On Wednesday, Ashley posted a message to her TikTok members chat, explaining why she decided to go Live with Amber.
“Don’t listen to people who make it seem like I’m a bully,” she wrote. “I forgave Amber years ago when she said she would mutilate me, and called me a Black b**ch. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN INTO IT WITH ANY CAST MEMBER IN SOOO LONG. But after seeing that finale of her speaking down to Leah, I was fed up. I made a TikTok to which Amber responded. She has been on Live every day and night since then speaking on me, and today when I logged on she was calling me ghetto clown hoodrat. So I responded. I’m not a bully. Let’s stop that narrative.”
Let’s open this flaming dumpster of trash, shall we? The Ashley will do her best to recap what went down between the ‘Teen Mom’ twosome.
Amber — who was (of course) already on TikTok Live with her trusty pal Mr. Hoodz– encouraged her friend to bring Ashley onto their Live. When Ashley accepted the invite, things got nasty fast. Amber proceeded to yell at Ashley, who made weird faces and laughed in response to how aggressive Amber was.
“Girl, chill the f**k out with your facial expressions! I’m not Farrah!” Amber told Ashley, who proceeded to make some random “record-scratching” sounds, which further fueled Amber’s anger.
“Little girl! You got ghosted for a reason!” Amber bellowed (referring to the brief period in early 2024 that Ashley was not asked back to ‘Next Chapter.’) “Would you like it again baby? This is happening right now. You ain’t got s**t to say but laugh. Why did you guys get cancelled? Tell ’em! Tell ’em why you’re getting cancelled.” (Amber was obviously speaking about the fate of ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter,’ which hasn’t been renewed for a third season as of press time.)
Ashley denied that anyone had been cancelled and stated that she would like to talk but it was hard because they had “Methenny over here yelling in the background.”
“You got ghosted by MTV because you don’t have your children!” Ashley told her couched co-star as Amber screamed over her. “…You’re delusional. You’re a s**t mother, you’re a s**t person, that’s why you have nothing but an AirBnB house.”
After the girls screamed over each other some more, Ashley hit Amber with a remark that actually left her speechless— for a moment.
“I have a Bachelor’s degree and I’m taking classes at Harvard. What are you doing, you loser b**ch? Sixteen years and you’ve done nothing but fail— at parenting, at life,” she told Amber.
Amber quickly regained her composure (and restarted her screeching) to once again proclaim how much money she’s made from her time on MTV.
“I’ve made millions of dollars, that’s what the f**k I’ve got— ho!” Amber screamed as she aggressively jerked her head back and forth.
Ashley— who looked genuinely frightened of Amber— and Mr. Hoodz— who looked like he was now questioning any and all of his life choices that brought him to this day— stared as Amber continued her tirade.
“Do you have millions of f**king dollars!? Have you made over $30 million in your life?!” Amber screeched.
“I’m gonna be a doctor so I’m working on it,” Ashley replied.
“I don’t give a f**k! I made money like a doctor already so sit down!” a very aggressive Amber screamed back. “I started this s**t [‘Teen Mom’] so sit the f**k down, shut your f**king mouth. You ain’t s**t and you know it!”
Amber then asked Ashley why she was so free to talk badly about her online, but not in-person.
“All this smoke— where was it at the Reunion!?” Amber yelled.
Back in October 2023, The Ashley broke the news back in October that the filming of the ‘Teen Mom Family Reunion’ Season 2 was a chaotic mess, and after Ashley— who was not permitted to film her Reunion scenes with the other girls– twerked at the vans containing her co-stars, Amber was (for some reason) furious and called and texted Ashley to let her know. On the call— which Ashley later leaked on social media— Amber can be heard screaming at Ashley, cussing her out, threatening to “mutilate her ass” and telling Ashley to pray that she never sees her again. Amber also told Ashley that she would get fired from the next season.
“I told you to get out of the van, you whack ass b**ch! And you didn’t,” Ashley said, referring to the ‘Twerk Heard All Around the (‘Teen Mom’) World’ incident.
Amber claimed she “grabbed” Ashley, but Ashley denied that ever happened.
“You took a picture like the weak ass you are!” Ashley replied. “Are you a lunatic? You stood right next to me and we took a picture together and someone even put it up and posted it. Are you f**king delusional?”
“You lying little girl!” Amber said. “I grabbed your ass!”
Ashley was having none of that.
“You grab me b**ch, you would have been beat. You thought you’d be somebody with a machete. B**ch, I would have knocked you the f**k out!” Ashley said as Amber screeched incoherently in the background. “I would have knocked your pupils the right dilation, b**ch.”
Amber then claimed that she when grabbed Ashley, it was to help her during a fight Ashley was having with other girls from the show during the Reunion. (Neither Ashley nor Amber were clear about when this incident allegedly took place.)
“I brought her next to me so people would shut their mouths…this is what was up. People were talking mad s**t about me and Ashley, right? So I grabbed her arm and I say, ‘Hey, come here, take a picture next to me.'”
Amber admitted that she had apologized to Ashley at the time for previous comments she made about her.
“Of course I apologized to you!” Amber yelled. “I’m a f**king WOMAN!”
“You apologized like a weak ass b**ch and we moved on!” Ashley replied with a laugh, which angered Amber even more.
“How is that WEAK!? You little girl!” Amber hissed as Ashley laughed. “You’re so little.”
Ashley then called Amber a stream of expletives and shamed her for apologizing.
“Are you so high off of meth that you don’t know what you’re saying?” Ashley asked Amber. “You sound stupid, b**ch. You apologized because you are a sucker! You told me you were going to murder me. You thought you were a gangsta. Yeah, I’m gonna be a hoodrat now. And then you apologized like the weak ass p**sy you were. And then you said, ‘Let’s take a picture and show everyone that we can get along. That’s what happened.”
Amber disputed Ashley’s account of the events.
“That was for your ass to stay on the show!” Amber bellowed back. “Dumbass, and then they ghosted you! …They picked me! I made the money, you got ghosted! You’re talking mad s**t right now and I tried to help your dumb ass.”
Amber then dropped a bombshell.
“I was called by the producers [who said], ‘Can you help her with her drug problem?'” Amber said of Ashley.
Ashley denied she had a drug problem, then explained that she had used drugs in the past.
“I’m gonna mute Amber because, first of all, I’ve been very transparent about the fact that a long time ago I did Xanax,” Ashley said (as Amber continued to scream despite being on mute). “A long time ago, back when I was like 18 or 19. Then I got pregnant with Holly and obviously I couldn’t do Xanax anymore. It was hard for me, but I’ve been very transparent about that. So I don’t know what she’s talking about, this ‘drug problem’, but, babe, I don’t do drugs. And you guys always love to bring that up, but I’ve been so transparent about it.”
Amber had been talking about why she apologized to Ashley back then.
Meanwhile, Amber was stating that the producers called her and asked her to talk to Ashley about her alleged drug use.
“It wasn’t just Xany bars [Xanax],” Amber said. “The producers asked me to get a hold of her to help her. Because she was on drugs, she’s on drugs. She’s on pills. And I straight-up told them, ‘That’s not up to me. If she wants to say something to me, she can come to me. That’s all I f**king said.”
Ashley went back to muting Amber, calling her a “deadbeat,” among other things.
“I have custody of my kid. They only keep you on the show because you’re a perfect example of what being a deadbeat parent looks like,” Ashley said. “You’re the perfect example of what it looks like to not take care of your kid, and how that actually affects the child. And, so, I think that’s why Amber is still on the show because she doesn’t take care of either of her kids.”
(As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Amber’s daughter Leah lives with her dad Gary Shirley and is estranged from Amber. Amber’s son, James, lives with her ex Andrew Glennon in California.)
Once she was unmuted, Amber stated that Ashley was making her “talk about the money I’ve made, you weirdo.”
“Just sit in your apartment and be quiet,” Amber told Ashley.
Later, after Ashley left the chat, Amber spoke to Mr. Hoodz about her daughter, Leah, saying that the only people keeping Leah from her was her ex Gary Shirley and his wife Kristina. (Leah has stated on-camera numerous times that it was her decision to cut off contact with Amber, and that no one made that choice for her.)
Still, Amber believes it is Gary and Kristina’s fault that Leah doesn’t talk to her.
“They did that since she was little. It’s like grooming a kid. Like, if I went to court, I’m telling you…I know exactly what I would do. They don’t want to go. My receipts are long. I’ve got over 13 years of receipts.”
Meanwhile, Ashley got back on Live solo and spilled some (alleged) tea about how Human Resources had to do an “investigation” about Amber threatening to “mutilate” her.
“You got benched…you weren’t on a single episode that season. Let’s talk about that…You thought you ate with that one? You were fired. I’m still on the show. We ain’t seen you since we seen you! When’s the last time we seen you, Amber Portwood?”
The Ashley decided to close the lid on the dumpster after that, but will continue to update if the girls start taking more verbal swings at each other…
