'Teen Mom OG': Amber Portwood insists she doesn't need anger management, fans say cycle will keep repeating
Amber Portwood is having a hard time controlling her emotions ever since she made headlines for domestic abuse claims made by her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Glennon. The two decided to head their separate ways but their fight is long from over as she still has to make court visits in a bid to get the custody of her son.
While she had a lot on her plate, the infamous audio tape leak left Amber shocked. She broke down crying thinking about what her children would think about her after they listen to the audiotape. Even though these were just some of the things that were running in her mind, others who listened to the tape knew that she needed help.
Amber's ex-boyfriend Gary Shirly decided to sit down with her and have a talk. He decided to be honest with her and informed her that her actions were unacceptable. Amber tried to defend her actions stating that she had a lot of mental health concerns when the audio was recorded.
Gary told her that it was important for her to seek help and take responsibility for her actions. He suggested it would be good for her to undergo an anger management session. Amber was left shocked and stated that she was getting all the help she needed and didn't need an anger management session. However, Gary refused to agree.
He decided to make an appointment for her with the hopes that the first session would help her understand what went wrong. While Gary took matters in his hand, fans wondered if one could really save her.
"Here is no excuse for the way Amber treats people. We’ve been watching her do the same things for TEN years! The cycle is just going to keep on repeating because she refuses to get help and stick with it," read one comment.
Another wrote, "It's clear nobody can really help Amber but Amber... she snaps crackles and pops at any and everyone all the time. Her temper is way out of control I really don't think she knows what she wants. really." Others thought that the anger management session would be good for Amber as one comment read, "Honestly I Feel Like WHY TF YOU DIDNT CALL THE COPS OR TRY TO GET HELP The First Thing You Did Was Record. It’s Something Suspect About Andrew BUT Amber Gotta Understand She Needed This Anger Management Cause That Was Unacceptable."
Meanwhile, others appreciated Gary was standing up to her and telling her that she needed help. "Where are all my teen mom watchers I love how mature Gary has become and how much he tries to help Amber through all her drama and self issues," read one comment while another added, "I’m so proud of Gary and how he drops what he’s doing to help his ex on teen mom."
