AceShowbiz - Amber Portwood lands in hot water for ruining her daughter Leah's 15th birthday. In a new episode of "Teen Mom: The Next Chapter", Amber celebrated Leah's milestone alongside her ex Gary Shirley, his wife Christina and their daughter Emilee.
The dinner was supposed to be a joyous event until Amber got into a fight with Leah. At one point, she called the birthday girl a "d**k" before getting into an argument with Gary over their daughter's alleged "attitude."
As the birthday celebration went south, Leah decided to leave the table while crying. Amber also exited the restaurant. She looked distraught as she questioned why she became the bad guy once again.
After a clip of the disastrous birthday dinner made the rounds on social media, fans and fellow "Teen Mom" stars quickly blasted Amber for her actions. Cory Wharton took to the comments to praise Gary, writing underneath a post on MTV's Instagram, "GARY is the Truth love that dude."
Briana DeJesus also weighed in on the matter in a now-deleted tweet. "I know I'll probably get dragged or get a phone call but after watching a certain scene … I don't support talking down on ur kids or even calling them names. Do better!" she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Briana additionally reposted fan tweets about the scene. "It's her birthday and she's crying this is so sad," one tweet read. Jenelle Evans, meanwhile, retweeted Briana's post and wrote, "Girrrrrl I just watched."
Briana's ex Devoin Austin also commented on the matter, saying, "Salute to Big G. Can't even lie. That s**t was bad. Who gives a [rat and peach emoji] about ya mans. It's Leah day!!" Jade Cline, on the other hand, retweeted a post which read, "Omg these kids stories on #teenmomnextchapter are bringing me to tears I felt for Leah at that table. I know they were all flabbergasted but at a loss for words. Speak up parents!"
Criticism also came from viewers with one saying, "Amber has no idea what it takes to be a parent. Gary and [his wife Kristina] are the only reason why Leah is growing up to be such a good girl." Another wrote, "AMBER YOU ARE THE PROBLEM."
"y'all remember Amber from Teen Mom? tell me why her daughter Leah just turned 15 and Amber calling her a d*ck and cussing at her," another commented. Someone else sarcastically wrote, "I love how Amber Portwood just gaslights everyone all the time. She instigates a situation, gets everyone wound up, and then tries to act like everyone else has a problem or that they’re the ones who started it."
