Despite the reports that Amber Portwood had been (or will be) fired from her job on Teen Mom OG, thanks to the three disturbing audio clips released over the past two weeks, The Ashley can confirm that Amber has not been fired— and it doesn’t appear that MTV will be giving her the boot any time soon.
The Ashley can also confirm that an MTV film crew was in Amber’s neck of the woods around Tuesday of this week, filming Amber & Co.!
“Amber has 100 percent filmed for the new season,” The Ashley’s production source tells her. “She is not being fired by MTV.
“[The producers] plan to film with Amber through her court trial [for the domestic battery charges.] Whatever happens there will obviously dictate if she remains on the show or not.”
As The Ashley told you, the show’s top executive producers held a conference call after the first audio recording was released. However, the execs basically decided against releasing a statement about the audio clips.
“They want to show her redemption story. Also, it’s not just the producers who make the call whether or not to fire someone. It has to come from the network,” the source said, adding that not all of the producers and crew are in agreement that Amber should get to keep her job.
“Some of us are uncomfortable working with her after what we heard [on the audio clips],” the source said, adding that the crew is no longer in Indiana.
While the source was vague about what Amber filmed about, The Ashley can confirm that the topic of Andrew was discussed, and that the general gist was “how Andrew is very different from how he was portrayed on the show” so far.
As The Ashley told you earlier this month, MTV attempted to get Andrew to film— via an ambush phone call that was being recorded for the show– but he has declined so far. (Whether or not he will change his mind and film is obviously unknown, but at this time, he has not filmed at all and has turned down their offer so far.)
From what The Ashley hears, Amber’s ex, Gary Shirley, has also filmed for the upcoming season. (It is not known whether or not he filmed on his own or with Amber.)
The Ashley will update this story when more information is available. Stay tuned…

[…] was back in court (kind of) on Thursday, to check in with the law in regard to her 2019 domestic violence arrest and her probation stemming from it. The ‘Teen Mom 2’ star appeared in court (via web […]
I am disgusted with MTV for hiring a psychotic and evil individual to be on the show! She deserves nothing! We have already seen this behavior in the past and she doesn’t deserve redemption once again! I have been a fan of the show from the beginning and I am seriously considering not watching it anymore. I hate it for the other cast members who have done nothing wrong! I will not support abuse and people who use mental illness as a crutch! Nope! I have depression and anxiety and I don’t talk to people that way!
I just wanted to thank the person who is pretending to be Abra. With every ? I see, my smile just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It sux to be me, don’t it poser?!! ??
Seriously, the same comment on at least 4 different teen mom articles.
What is wrong with you??
You need to be in s mental facility.
Go away abraCadabra….
I think it is horrible the decision to keep her on the show me also being a victim of abuse just goes to show that as long as your on tv and mtv is making money off of it its okay what a terrible way to show teens this is okay i truly hope people stop watching this show
Andrew had to stay home and take care of James. It’s a fact Amber was not going to get out of bed or off the couch to do anything but hit him. I hope she sees the inside of a jail cell for a while. Let’s see if she hits anyone there
her redemption story? Isn’t this what we have “supposed” to be seeing already?? Ya know redemption from her first domestic violence case? So ok… drug addicts- nope fired, adult film stars, fired… but hey domestic violence, child endangerment.. Cool. HIRED!
Oh please. They wanted to get rid of Jenelle long before the dog was killed. Because how she treated the MTV crew, wanted it to be all on her terms and randomly refused to film, refused to go to reunions without her piece of crap husband and so on. The dog killing was only the last straw.
They fired Janelle because mtv was not willing to face the onslaught of hellfire that was going to brought upon them by animal rights activists, who can be absolutely brutal in pursuing their goals. Good for them.
DV activists have to be just as loud
Leave amber alone, she’s ill.
She needs love and help, not you people being nasty
Not cool MTV. Hopefully it’s just minor taping and it’ll be canned when she goes to jail and we’ll never have to see it ?
I am extremely disappointed, but I’m not surprised. MTV’s moral compass points straight to hell. From recording Ryan Edwards driving while high as a kite, to recording Amber beating Gary, to showing Jenelle having all out screaming matches in front of her children, MTV clearly does not give a crap about the children this show is damaging. I hope that the network has some sort of a trust fund to cover the therapy all of these children with inevitably need. Amber should have been fired the second the leaked audio was revealed. She is toxic and abusive, and MTV is enabling her awful behavior. I would say that the producers of this train wreck should be ashamed of themselves, but they are clearly incapable of feeling shame.
I can’t wait to call my girlfriend a retard and then beat the living shit out of her because according to MTV, it’s OK
Anyone know where I can get a machete?
Maybe a big yard sale in Indiana ?
[…] September 20, The Ashley’s Reality Roundup shared a report confirming that the network doesn’t seem to have any plans to get rid of the […]
I just read on US Weekly that Jenelle is waiting to hear from MTV about whether or not she’ll return to TM2. Any news on that @TheAshley?
I’m never watching mtv again cause they disgust me, but I’m just curious lol
Oh nooo
Love your username lol ??
>>>LURCHESVITILIGOTESTICKLES<— ?
I mean come on now. Antonio Brown loses his job but Amber gets to keep hers. Really????
Did you see Andrews instagram story? Guess he read this article.
Team Amber.
I’m not watching it with Amber still on. I never liked her. I always thought she was trash and I was right. I’m Bipolar too and I don’t go after people with a machete.
How do you spell enabler? M – T – V .
Amber is all about drama!!
Hell mtv sure picked some the dumbest girls ever from 16 and pregnant, to be on the teem mom shows.
Every single one has been turned in to entitled bitches.
And the kids exploited to the fullest.
Reality tv has seriously screwed up society, and turned idiots in to attention seeking fame hungry wastes of air.
Amber Portwood change.org I meant.
Just signed a petition to get Amber fired, type Amber Portwood,change.com. fingers crossed.
Shame on mtv if it had of been andrew talking and abusing amber that way it would of been different..why is it ok for amber or any woman to abuse a man and they will find an excuse to dismiss it !!!abuse is abuse to a man woman child or animal abuse has no excuses !!! Mtv do the decent thing and grow a set of balls and stand up to her or are you scared she will kick you in them !!!

This is Amber! Who is the true narcissist here??
Yep that’s amber alright.
I’m happy Amber isn’t fired becaus itsNOT her fault she suffers from mental illness. She cannot control the thoughts sometimes and she has a battle in her head that no one can ever understand unless they have been there. Andrew made fun of her illness all the time and he only wanted to sit on his big fat ass and steal her money. He’s not employed he’s a mooch he used her . I think he obviously does things intentionally to aggravate Amber. He is a giant 7 foot tall man c’mon how’s Amber going to hurt him I see right thru him. He just wants her money and is using the baby to get it.
Oh please, she can control it if she would take her meds and stop using drugs.
I feel mental health isn’t the problem she is bad And just vile .. on the recordings she is threatening andrew she will destroy him she has lawyers she thinks she is the big I am cause shes on a reality tv show wellll like I have said abuse of any kind doesn’t warrant it being dismissed because of who you are it’s actually very disturbing that mtv have not punished this vile abuser and showing it to the rest of the world it’s ok to abuse if your on medication…shame on mtv
Your defo a portwood
With that bs comment.
Shawn – what could Andrew have POSSIBLY done to deserve this crap? Woke her up at 4:30pm and told her it was time to get outta bed and be a contributing member of the household??? THAT is “provoking”??? What the hell are you popping to make you so pathetically blind and stupid??? YOUR NEPHEW, A HELPLESS BABY, WAS IN CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER AND YOU ARE DEFENDING YOUR SISTER, THE ONE WHO’S BEING THE AGGRESSOR!!!!???? Get over yourself and wake the hell up!!! I get ya wanna protect your little sister. BUT – there comes a time when ya need to be the protector of your baby nephew! HE needs you too! STOP making excuses for her!! She has VERY VIOLENT tendencies!! She has put James in danger more than once!! I have 6 sisters. I make sure ppl know I will fight for them and move heaven and earth for their babies!!! You are a piece of crap uncle for saying Andrew deserves this all the while holding YOUR NEPHEW in his arms!!! She said she will kill Andrew, stab him in the neck, she never wanted James, Andrew used her for her body (apparently your sis NEVER heard of all the MANY forms of BIRTH CONTROL),beat him among other things!!! REALLY SHAWN!!?? REALLY!!!??? YOU are just as bad if YOU can’t understand gow this is wrong on so many damn levels!!! W.T.F!!
Dang it!!! WTH!!?? This comment was what I posted in the one all the cast members and Shawn spoke up in! Ugh!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMMENT I JUST COPIED/PASTED!!!????????????????
It’s a damn good thing that the respiratory system is autotomic, and you don’t have to “think” to breathe, otherwise you would be DEAD. No one that stupid should be alive.
So even IF Andrew did all of these things that you claim he did, it still DOES NOT warrant abuse!! How do people not understand that?? You never put your hands on someone else with the intent on hurting them. And she clearly did, with her baby in his arms!! And she verbally and emotionally abused him which is also evidenced by those tapes. I don’t care how mentally ill you are, whether you’re taking your meds or not, every person from the early ages of one to two years old, knows right from wrong! And Amber habitually crosses those lines, and knew she would get away with it. It’s sickening. Now MTV has basically told her that her behavior is condoned, and she can go on treating everybody in her life like absolute shit, (and get paid for it while sitting on her ass), because she’s never had to answer for actions or be accountable to MTV. I hope she is sentenced and has to spend a long time in prison.

This is Amber! Who is the true narcissist here??
Her “redemption story” should have been after she got out of prison. This is just pathetic now. A constant cycle of the same mistakes repeating over and over again. Very disappointed in the whole company in letting this completely blow over.
I am relieved to hear Amber was not fired yet.. I hope that she will resolve all of her troubles soon.Thanks MTV for giving her the benefit of the doubt.Prayers works!!!!!
They need to let her go take her off the show let her get the help that she needs she needs to be fired this girl has threatened to kill that is serious in my book if she comes back I will not watch the show anymore especially if they bring Janelle back
Hi Bubby/Cousin-crystal,Tonya
If they are typing in complete sentences, it is probably not Tonya lol.
If prayer worked we wouldn’t have millions of children the world over going to bed hungry, even starving, being beaten, abused, tortured….
But, sure, use up your “prayer power” on someone who abuses not only children and animals, but also grown adults, just so she can keep her kushy(pun totally intended) no work required “job”.
Fucking sock puppets on here-they’re the ONLY people that actually “support Amber”
They didn’t give Janelle the benefit of the doubt, she didn’t kill her dog, she didn’t abuse her kids, and she didn’t do anything to get fired from MTV. I hardly watch the show anymore, and then you got Adam Lind a junkie someone that just got out of jail but yeah let’s put in back on the show. Damn you put Jade on she doesn’t pay any attention to her daughter she’s a piss poor mother, she’s also with a addict both of her parents her mom and her stepdad or in jail due to drugs. I could go on and on and on. You did Janelle wrong you did her dirty after the dog the kids being taken away and then you firing her she you made her the victim for the third time.
Yes jenelle has abused her kids, and animals, you dumb fuck.
Oh please. Jenelle the s a horrible mother and verbally abuses everyone except David. Have you seen how she speaks to her mother, her kids, some random guy on the road that she pulls a gun on? Jenelle is no angel.
It’s jenelle and lurch, who did wrong.
Your comment is bs.
Jenelle also had the benefit of the doubt for many years. At some point the benefit runs out. She didn’t kill nugget but she has abused animals and kids WHILE being filmed. She condoned and defended her husband’s words and actions time and time again. Not to mention the psychological abuse her kids are subjected to from both her and Lurch and them being unemployed and isolated on that land in the middle of nowhere.
Shes an absolute disgrace I love teen mom but if shes back on it I will be fast forwarding her segment ,disgusted but not surprised at m,t.v. How ironic that everything is Gary’s,Matt’s And now Andrew’s fault ,boot her off the show
Here we go. MTV sponsors. Have at it my friends. I certainly intend to. Post it everywhere that they support domestic violence! Email them. Whatever it takes!! @NyQuilDayQuil @ProcterGamble @Maybelline @MetroByTMobile @DawnDish @creditkarma @verizon @tacobell @Glassdoor @Unilever @reeses @Hersheys @Arbys @Amazon @Target @olivegarden
@Ispeakthetruth
Thank you ????
Thank – U
It’s now official. I WILL AND NO ONE IN MY HOUSE WILL WATCH MTV OR UTILIZE ANY SERVICE OR PRODUCT FROM THEIR SPONSORS!
No more watching this crap show. MTV is disgusting.Doesnt this tick you off that she will be paid lots of money to be like she is. Just dick and wrong messages to youth. Be abusive but hey you can still be on MTV. Meaningless TV.
Are you out of your ever-loving mind. You have the audacity to fire Janelle over something that wasn’t real. And then we got tapes with Amber saying it out of her own mouth that she wants to kill him she’s been arrested she disabused her baby she didn’t want her baby.. Do you really need ratings at damn bad. You need to bring Janelle back to the show you made her a victim for the third time. First her husband killed her dog second they took her kids away from her for no reason and then you fired her that made her the victim for the third time .Yes her husband did Kill the dog not her. Second she got her kids back because there wasn’t a reason for them to be taking the first place. And now you fir Jannel for no reason but yet you let Amber stay on the show even though we know she’s guilty of what she’s charged of. Bring Janelle back!!!
Nobody wants you to come back, Jenelle.
Doesnt everyone deserve a chance I dont condone violence of any kind by I am not big polar and have been pushed to the point that I was happy I didnt have a gun cause I would probably have shot someone and noone knows what started fight between Andrew and Amber she needs help and understanding not treated the way she is compassion guys we dont answer for her sins she does I stand behind her
Then perhaps she should get help and stop smearing her victims. Perhaps MTV should show support for her victims. What about James and Leah and Andrew?
Wow Geraldine!!!
So what your saying is if you’d had a gun, you would have shot Md possibly killed someone!!!!’ HolyMoly……
You need to be checked on by the authorities, that’s messed up OMG.
Color me shocked……..
No was years ago wouldnt have been able to pull trigger but would have thought about it my husband was beating my son with a big stick what would you have done
How the hell can you not see that something is more than just a little fucked up here? You do realize that ALL of these recordings(and many more) all took place in different months, over more than a year, even WHILE she was “getting help”, and “getting treatment”. She was given the benefit of doubt on more than one occasion and even got a lesser sentence *because she got treatment while in jail because she claimed mental illness then too. How many crimes does someone have to commit for you freaks to understand she’s literally a danger to everyone around her, and it’s all a fucking act?
She’s not mentally disturbed, she just knows it’s a damn god excuse and a good way to get out of being in trouble. At some point, accountability is important. She wasn’t doing these things in defense of someone else she was 100% the aggressor, the problem, the only person actually doing anything wrong at all, and it’s all been recorded.
Stop using mental illness as a crutch and an excuse for being a heinous monster. It’s a slap in the face to people that actually DO suffer from mental illnesses and really do need help. This bitch is faking every single thing because she damn well knows how to get away with it. She could have killed her own child-and she doesn’t care..clearly people like you don’t, either. Asshats, the lot of ya.
?????????? Well said peanut.??
She’s had many chances
This wouldn’t have been so tragic if there wasn’t a freakin’ KID involved! Andrew was holding James, her son, while she went after her man with a machete! What if she did something to the baby?! I guess MTV doesn’t really care about her child (who she barely sees now) but only about painting her like a martyr! SCREW THAT SH*T! She is a mentally sick person who loves to abuse people she “loves” (don’t forget her “sending love, always”) and puts her son in the middle of it all! I’m glad he took the kid and went the hell away from her, this woman is batsh*t crazy! And no, except if they decide to send her to a mental institution or prison (which they probably won’t), she doesn’t deserve screen time! She was filmed abusing her ex before, it’s not her first rodeo (and if they keep on enabling her, it probably won’t be her last either but where will she find a man who knows nothing about all this, has to live in a cave somehow)
I applaud Andrew for not wanting to be filmed, he knows they will twist the story somehow.

Disgusting amber should be Fred I won’t be watching next season if it had been the other way round Andrew attacking amber he would of been in jail mtv are irresponsible keeping amber on the show not a good example to young girls
Oh u have to be kidding very disappointed in MTV she does not deserve to b on tv so what about Janelle then n Barbara then they should b back on MTV.
I have watched this series at the beginning and off and on following Amber. I like her and hopes she can get her life together. Give her a chance.
I feel done. MTV is choosing ratings and exploiting domestic abuse and mental illness at the cost of these children and their families. Absolutely no reason to support the network or their sponsors any longer.
THere is a petition on change.org to fire Amber from the show. As of last night I was the first to sign. They are looking for 5000 signatures. I don’t know how effective these petitions are but at least it’s doing something. Just search Amber POrtwood, change and it should pull up!
I signed a few days ago, and I even posted about it here. I feel like it didn’t do any good though. It just goes to show you money talks, it seems like if you have enough money, then you can get away with anything you want. Has anybody else heard the rumors about Adam Lind coming back?
I signed and shared the petition via messenger
There are several petitions to fire amber.
Petitions hardly ever work. What will work is to STOP watching the network and contacting sponsors. You have to hit them in their pockets. Clearly $$$$$ talks!!!
David threatened crew members and wasn’t allowed at filming but kept showing up. This also helped with his wife’s firing.
Unbelievable. I hope MTV does not live to regret this decision. Prayers to all ?
I hope they lose viewers, sponsors and $$$$
Gary defending her makes me wonder if he has a few screws loose
Unbelievable. I pray that MTV does not live to regret this decision. ?
Another day another dollar. How long till the swamp land people and pOrn Star are back? What double standards
Dont put andrew back on the shoe hes a stranger not even teen mom family. Man he is not who you think he is fake phony.. Who would tape someone if all those tapes were so bad why not play them as soon as taped why wait til she was ready to leave him motive he wanted insurance to get child support he dont want to work. Thats why he got her pregnant ambers his mil ticket wake up people

So the sponsors are disgusted enough to bail when an animal is abused but not when an adult or a baby is the ones being abused? That is fucked up. So basically every Teen Mom sponsor supports domestic violence. Time to share that little tidbit of info. To continue to give it a platform is to support it. There is no way to justify it.
I’m done. This is beyond the pale. How much evidence does there have to be. She is an unhinged abuser. Her suicide and/or seriously harming someone else is blood on MTV’s hands. Disgusting.
It’s not going to matter. MTV scum producers will not have access to her when she is in the Indiana Department of Corrections.
[* Shield plugin marked this comment as “Trash”. Reason: Failed Bot Test (token) *]
Well that just ruined the show for me. I will never view it again. So gross. If she was a male she would be fired. I guess she will never learn her lesson. She absolutely should not be mothering any children either
