Amber Says MTV Paid Her To Hit Gary
Well, this was a twist I did not see coming. Amber Portwood is facing felony abuse charges for beating her boyfriend Gary Shirley. At this point I don't think we even need to say allegedly since it was right there on tape, and more than once.
Anyway, The Enquirer is reporting that Amber's defense is going to be that MTV paid her to hit Gary. While, I could see producers provoking her into making her even more angry, I do wonder if they would really cross the line and encourage a felony. Hmmm.
According to sources, Amber was paid an additional $1,000 to hit Gary and that the producers said Amber and Gary were the most popular mom and the only thing dramatic or exciting that happens on the show was with them. Amber says Gary did not know about it because she wanted a spontaneous reaction from him. Well, considering how often he gets beat, he probably reacted the same way he always does.
Nothing shocks me. Also, she doesn't seem like the brightest crayon.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't commit a felony for a grand. I've got too much to live for.
ReplyDeleteIs she prone to commit violence, probably. Do I believe her, about 50 percent.
ReplyDeleteThis is almost better than an early John Waters film.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, a grand to commit a felony on tape?
A prosecutable felony?
A tape that would be shown on a national cable network?
I was going to say, give me a break, noone could possibly be that stupid.
However ladies and gentlemen, I believe we can say we have now found the Lowest Common Denominator.
bullshit. this is the concoction of her attorneys and nothing more. they had to come up with some lie and this is it.
ReplyDeleteIf she only hit him because she was paid to, why did I read she hit him last week when there weren't any cameras around? Her excuse stinks.
ReplyDeleteNot buying it, I'm sure MTV wanted her to push the limits, as they always do, but she was always a violent person so this excuse doesn't work for me.
ReplyDeleteMendacity!
ReplyDeleteMTV please come get your fool.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jess and call BS on this. Did MTV not do anything to stop it? Yep. Did they encourage the fighting? More likely than not? Do I think Amber is prone to violence and this isn't the only time she's hit someone or that it will not be the last? I'd bet my life savings.
ReplyDeletei watch this nonsense and she hit him in the first season - she thought he was being "disrespectful" to her dad and she pushed him into a corner and grabbed his face really hard, yelled at him, cocked her arm to punch him but ended up slapping him. She is a MESS and that poor child needs to be taken away ASAP! She has the WORST judgement - or lack thereof - of anyone i've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteHow is this a defense? She still did it. That makes her guilty. It makes her even more pathetic if true but I doubt it, I'm sure there are plenty of times not on camera.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she beats the baby.
