Amber Portwood is not happy with her bosses at MTV — and she recently made her feelings abundantly clear on social media.
Just ahead of Monday night’s Teen Mom OG season premiere, Amber made the bizarre decision to very publicly trash-talk the people who made her famous.
Why would Amber pick such an inopportune time to bite the hand that feeds her?
Well, that’s anyone’s guess, but it looks like she already regrets her decision …
The Rebel
Amber has clashed with MTV and Teen Mom OG producers in the past, but her latest tantrum might be her most shocking to date.
A Cushy Gig
Like the rest of the cast, Amber owes an awful lot to MTV and the production company that created the 16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom franchise.
The Good Life
For most of her adult life, Amber has enjoyed a six-figure income for a job that requires only a few months of work each year.
A Second Chance
Against the advice of many, TMOG producers even welcomed Amber back to the cast after she was imprisoned for assault.
The Times They Are A-Changing
In the interest of keeping things fresh, TMOG producers recently made the decision to add two new cast members, and it seems that Amber is among those who believe that was the wrong move.
Passive-Aggression?
Officially, Amber has remained quiet on the matter, but some fans think her latest outburst has everything to do with recent changes on the show.
Plugging the Premiere
Earlier this week, Amber’s co-stars Catelynn Lowell and Maci Bookout made a short video to promote the the TMOG Season 8 premiere.
Mad Amber
Amber was apparently very angry that she wasn’t invited to take part in the promo — so angry, in fact, that she took to Twitter to let her bosses know.
A Change of Heart
Amber quickly deleted the tweets, but not before hundreds of fans (and probably her bosses) took notice.
The Retraction
Amber was quick to get in front of the situation, issuing a pseudo-apology to her bosses, fans, and to Catelynn and Maci.
Sending Love
After deleting the original tweet, Amber posted this one, in which she attempts to laugh off her earlier comments.
The Real Problem
Production insiders believe that Amber’s real issue is with the fact that she doesn’t like being forced to share screen time with Cheyenne and Bristol.
The Bristol Gamble
Producers are betting big on Palin, hoping that her presence will breathe new life into a series that’s been on the air for a decade.
Palin Fatigue
Thus far, viewers seem relatively indifferent toward Palin, which is exactly what nay-sayers like Amber predicted.
On the Upswing
Though Amber might be going through a difficult time professionally, those closest to the troubled star say she’s never been happier in her personal life.
Amber and Andrew
Amber recently welcomed a child — her first child with fiance Andrew Glennon.
A Rocky Road
While anyone who watched the show last season can attest that there have been many ups and downs in Amber and Andrew’s relationship, Portwood is reportedly much more stable than she’s been in years past.
The Future
Amber has been keeping a relatively low profile on social media lately, so it’s anyone’s guess what this season of TMOG holds in store for her.
Sharing the Screen
But with two new high-profile cast members, you can bet that you’ll bee seeing slightly less of Ms. Portwood than you’re accustomed to.
