Poor Amber. She can’t see Leah right now because she’s stuck behind bars.
Teen Mom star Gary Shirley sure does not have any sympathy for the fact that his baby mama Amber Portwood is stuck behind bars for violating the terms of her probation. It seems like Gary is rubbing the fact that Amber can’t see their 3-year-old daughter Leah right now in Amber’s face by tweeting simply adorable pics of little Leah.
Gary tweeted two pics of little Leah. In one, Leah looks so cute dressed up as a tiny princess.
BFFs — is Gary being mean to Amber by revealing these pics of Leah?

Gary is simply being a good dad. Gary has always been a good dad. I think Amber is a good person with a lot of issues, but that doesn’t negate the fact that it’s her own fault that she’s in jail. Just because he posted cute pictures doesn’t mean he’s rubbing it in Amber’s face. Stop. Just stop, pathetic Hollywood reporters. Leave them alone.

All that matters is that Leah is taken care of. Looks like he’s doing a great job and I will pray for Amber.

How can she the pictures if she is in jail? Do inmates get Internet access? How pathetic, she is a horrible mother and person.

I don’t think he is being mean at all. That is his daughter and if he wants to put photos of her up on twitter or wherever he can!! She put herself in the situation she is and Gary shouldn’t have to stop doing anything in the fear he is being mean to Amber!! If she didn’t stuff up so much then she could of been in those photos too.

How ridiculous!!! I am quite sure that Gary is torturing my sister with some things but not by tweeting pictures. Amber has no internet access so how would she be able to see them in the first place. What a pathetic way to come up with a quick story.

Lets face it both Gary and Amber are immature idiots who use their poor daughter against each other, this is evident in episodes of Teen Mom when Gary shouts at Amber to stop or he’ll take Leah away from her. Gary is a lazy slob who goes out and parties the night before his daughters birthday and won’t even bring her out trick or treating? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Amber is much better what with her domestic violence. They both need to grow up and realise the only important thing here is Leah, not either of them or their feelings.

Gary needs to live life and that doesn’t mean he is throwing it in Amber’s face. Amber did what she did for selfish reasons and she doesn’t understand what being a mom is like. Here is a man being a good father and the world thinks that he is doing it to spite Amber. Give me a break, this guy is damned either way.

I think its wonderful that Leah looks so well cared for. I also think Amber shouldn’t have Twitter in jail. He should be able to send pictures and letters in e mail possibly. I also support either visitation in jail or possibly a Skype arrangement. Leah benefits from maintaining ties to her mom.

So Amber can get on twitter in jail now? Gary was totally doing it to rub it in her face because he knew she’d see his tweets in jail. Duuuumb

awww poor poor pitiful portlywood. she HAD an apportunity to be a good mom and chooses to do whatever she wants and it’s usually not anything resembling a good role model for Leah. What is Gary supposed to do not take Leah out in public, or photograph or communicate with people til portly gets her act together? Leah’s liable to have graduated college by then and then Gary would have missed out on all those adorable shots. If she cared she would have been meeting the req’s of probation and she complied with nothing (except getting her high on and acting like the diva she’s NOT)

Amber isn’t a good mom and never was. She spent many episodes laying around napping and putting Leah in the crib so she could lay around. She’s garbage!! How is Gary tormenting her? Does she get access to the Internet in jail? He is posting pictures of his child, just like every proud parent. At least she has him because she can’t depend on Amber. Who cares how it hurts Amber, she is where she is because she’s an abusive, irresponsible, drug addict.

Why are you so cruel with her? I think Amber has big problems, but she can be a good person and a good mother. She needs help, but she’s alone. Gary was immature with her. Her mother isn’t present in her life. His brother is an important figure for her, but he lives in another state.
She made mistakes, ok, but she’s really alone and the fame she has because of mtv doesn’t help.
I don’t think cruelty is the right move. I think she needs help and she can change.

Oh and if you think she loves Leah so much- one of the reasons she is in jail is because she was court ordered to put some of that MTV money into a college fund for Leah- and she wouldn’t do it! She failed to put any money in Leah’s name! You need to put the notion that every mom loves their child out of your head. Amber changed immensely when she lost weight and thought she was hot. Leah was put on the back burner then. Part of her loves her, but not the way most moms love their kid.

I remember when Amber didn’t put a crib sheet in the baby’s bed. Well she could have thrown a blanket in the bed if it was dirty. It was kind of sad to see the baby sleeping on a crunchy plastic mattress- that would be so uncomfortable. I would be on my best behavior if I was being filmed. So she must be so much worse when cameras aren’t around.

I completing agree with you Emma! Amber is only thinking of herself, not once did she make a decision because she thought it would be good for her kid and not just about herself.

She COULD and WOULD get the chance to see her daughter if LEAH was IMPORTANT TO HER. she obviously ISN’T or she wouldn’t have her fatarse behind bars.
“good moms” don’t act like this trailer trash sl*t, she’s had alot more opportunities to woman up and get it together and chooses to think only of herself
(and good moms don’t have a revolving door for every tom dick n harry to be around her baby girl)

I agree with every comment made. How is he tormenting her? She might have been the star of Teen Mom, but he is still her father and is entitled to post pictures if he so wishes.

So because Amber is in jail Gary can’t be proud of his daughter? He has to hide her? This article is ridiculous.

exactly, macie. amber has no idea what’s going on. she isn’t seeing those pictures on twitter! and come on, it’s not like she’s been wrongly accused and shouldn’t be in jail. she’s in there for a reason.
Emma

Ok, she’s in jail for a reason, but she’s not a criminal. She has problems, a lot of problems, but with a little help she can change and have another chance.
She’s a mother after all and she’s not a bad person. She made a mistake, but she’s not the worst person in the world.
