Teen Mom: Amber Portwood’s Daughter Calls Their Relationship “Fake” | E! News
Do you find it like painful or you find it? Amber Portwood’s daughter is speaking out about their relationship. During the May 1st episode of Teen Mom, Amber’s daughter, Leah Shirley, who primarily lives with dad Gary Shirley and stepmom Christina Shirley, call out the relationship she says Amber tries to uphold while filming the reality series. It’s too much on me if she comes around like every like year, once or twice, and then acts like everything’s perfect and tells me that she loves me and hugs me and stuff. Like, I can’t do that. Do you find it do you find it like painful or do you find it like you don’t text me, you don’t see me, and then when you do see me for purposes of there being a camera in your face? Yeah. You try to act like you’re the best mom ever. The 16-year-old also admits she has simply grown tired of her mother’s behavior. She’s always been like this. She’s always been out like to get people just to make sure like all the attention’s on her or something and always turns herself into like the victim of everything. She doesn’t even know that she’s treating people like crap. She needs to know though. But yeah, like I think maybe like she doesn’t like really realize that I’m the one who has been actively not wanting a relationship with her. And while the teenager emphasized she doesn’t hate her mom, she admits she needs to take some space. And I understand that she has her own issues to deal with and it like makes it difficult, but like I I I just can’t handle it myself, right? She like tells people that like we have a good relationship and I think she thinks that it’s my dad’s fault. So I kind of want to clear that up cuz it’s not fair for her to blame my dad for something that I want. [Music]

Im glad she spoke up more about the subject im sure its a relief for her
Good for Leah, being Mature to speak something about her own circumstances, however I do wish Gary would not speak bad on TV about Amber, especially since he is aware how bad her depression and anxiety are!!
Shame, you get paid easy money to be a parent, and you can't even do that!
Leah is so smart and insightful, good for her to see right through Amber and speaking about this
Those adults should not be talking about her mother in front of her, need to keep their opinions to themselves, I don’t think they would like it very much if someone was talking about them to their children.. Gary and Christina needs to do the same, Christina needs to understand she’s not the mother, I understand Amber has some issue’s but they do need to be talk about to her daughter, the 2 of them needs to work it out together without anyone else putting their 2cents in.. I don’t think Gary this great guy he trying to play. And as for Christina I don’t think she wants people to think..
A littttle unrelated but I wonder why ryan wasn't invited on this trip to new York, since he's on the show and him, Maci and Bentley seem to have a good relationship now.. 🤔 anyways I'm so proud of leah and the way she has handled the trauma of amber.
I am so proud of the woman that Leah has become not only that, but I give huge props to Gary and Christina. I also love how Leah feel safe reaching out to the other moms on the show.
Calling ur mom out says a lot about her parenting .im glad she has her dad and stepmom. Much love to you Leah
If your own child saying they don’t want a relationship says a lot about amber she fully abandoned her own daughter don’t be shocked she doesn’t want nothing to do with you amber your not a victim.
Get them off the show obviously it effects her and pathetic to watch
I'm gonna need Amber to either take accountability the next time she shows her face on tv or don't even bother showing her face because your child, your firstborn, is hurting… And let's not put this on mental issues because at this point, you're using it as an excuse…. How many times we heard she getting therapy and help and yet all that "therapy" didn't help you understand that you need to build a better relationship with your daughter?
I had a feeling her Daughter would reveal the truth about her
This is so sad 😞 oh Leah stay positive ❤
Good on her for using her voice. Beautiful, young women 💕💕
Good for Leah
I love that the stories been told by her prospective, Cause Leahs life is her life it's not Amber's, it's also nice thar she's nothing like her, Amber at 16 was cussing out her mom for never being there cause she was always working, meanwhile Leahs not getting aggressive or resenting her mother, she just wants to be happy with her dad and step-mom and doesn't care for the fakeness and random comings and goings of Amber, it's fair.
It's interesting also seeing her talking to confidently and honestly with Caitlyn and Maisie who are close friends with Amber
Wow. I'm 35 and have finally come to similar conclusions about my mom. She's a teen! She's light-years ahead and so smart.
So proud of you Leah! I wish her nothing but the absolute best, happiness and success always and forever. Such a smart, strong, confident, beautiful, mature and inspirational woman. 👏❤
