‘Teen Mom’ Star Amber Portwood’s Unhinged TikTok Rant Reportedly Has Family Concerned

It’s no secret that Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has dealt with many personal struggles on and off the reality series. Through the years, Amber has struggled to maintain a healthy relationship with her daughter, Leah, and ex Gary Shirley. But Amber Portwood’s recent TikTok rant reportedly has her family concerned about her.

MTV viewers were introduced to Amber and Gary on 16 and Pregnant before they appeared in its spinoff. The show followed the young couple’s tumultuous relationship as they struggled to raise Leah as teen parents. Ultimately, Gary and Amber broke up.

Amber continued to grapple with addiction and anger issues that landed her in jail on domestic battery charges. Meanwhile, Gary has maintained primary custody of their daughter for most of her life.

Amber Portwood’s recent TikTok rant happened in January 2025.

In a January TikTok live, Amber didn’t hold back when a fan sided with her ex and the father of her daughter.

“You’re gonna stand with Gary? Then stand with him. And burn in h— with him,” she said, per OK! magazine. Amber also called the Teen Mom fan “gross” and added, “Lord help you.”

In the live TikTok, she suggested MTV gave her bad edits.

“How could you not see through that s—? Did we watch the same show? No, you didn’t watch my life,” Amber reportedly continued in her TikTok live rant.

“You watched any time that they got me riled up or got me in a situation, because how easy is it with someone with bipolar borderline PTSD panic disorder – all this s— to get riled up and angry?” she added. “I wonder. And to manipulate. Victim, victim, victim.”

Amber also directly berated her followers.

Gary and MTV weren’t the only ones Amber called out.

“You know what I regret? Giving 17 years of my life to mother f—-s like you,” she reportedly said.

Amber also berated those who called her a “liar and a f—–g victim when I showed you the raw real s— of what we really go through, s— that you guys go through.”

Reportedly, her family is concerned about her now.

“People in Amber’s life have reached out to her after her TikToks and particularly were upset about some of the allegations she made against her ex Gary,” a source reportedly told the U.S. Sun.

“She’s struggling with her mental health right now, and hasn’t been able to recover from her recent setbacks,” the unnamed person added, “Now, TikTok is an outlet for her.”

Amber made alarming accusations against Gary in December, too.

In addition to calling Gary “not a good dad” during a December TikTok live, Amber claimed he sexually assaulted her, The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reported.

“He’s also a r–ist. So, merry Christmas,” she reportedly said. “To the guys who have been following Gary, who r–ed me – you guys are welcome for this franchise!”

Although Gary has not publicly responded to Amber’s allegations, he did post a photo of his family in late December. Many followers shared their support for him in the comments.

@itsgarytime hun you have been more patient than anyone could possibly be. I think it’s time to think about a no contact order to protect Leah and your family,” one person wrote. “Amber has always been u stable but this last outburst really shows how damaging she can be, with no regard to Leah at all. Continued prayers for all of you.”

Another commenter shared, “Beautiful family! Don’t ever let Amber’s mental illness keep you in hiding. Everyone loves and supports your little family.”
