Amber Portwood SLAMS Gary Shirley: I Made You Rich, Loser!

If you watched this week’s episode of Teen Mom OG , then you know that Amber Portwood didn’t exactly come off looking great. But amazingly, her tweets during the show proved even more damaging to her reputation! The episode sees Amber’s baby daddy, Gary Shirley, and his wife, Kristina, voicing some of the same criticisms that fans have been directing at Amber in recent months. Like so many of the show’s viewers, Gary and Kristina apparently feel that Amber should’ve spent more time looking into Andrew Glennon’s sketchy past before she started dating him seriously and got pregnant with his baby. Not only that, they take issue with Amber not seeing her daughter for months and using her depression as a justification–despite the fact that she was apparently mentally healthy enough to begin dating Glennon. Maybe Amber was depressed, and maybe too much is being made of Glennon’s past, but it’s not hard to see why a father and stepmother might be concerned by the situation. And Gary voiced those concerns at length in the episode: “I don’t know what skeletons he has in his closet, but honestly, she should have waited,” he said to Kristina. “She should have taken more time with Leah and focused on her responsibility as being a mother than jumping into a relationship. Well, she was, like, ‘I was mourning.’ I know that you’re sad after breaking up with someone — I get it.” “But your daughter can bring you just as much happiness,” Kristina interjected. Not surprisingly, Gary agreed: “From day one I’ve been a parent! From day one my issues never came in and stopped me from being a dad, you know?” he continued. “I don’t have the option to not be a parent, but you can go off and do what you want to do. I mean, that would be f–king awesome! You know? And you’re OK with it because you’re used to it. But you know, there’s one person that’s not OK with it, and that’s Leah.” From there, Kristina spiked the football by recounting a recent exchange with Leah: “It’s just like she told me, you know? ‘Matt was in the picture. Mommy broke up with Matt. Mommy don’t come around then because she’s too depressed,'” she recalled. “But then, all of a sudden, she brings over Andrew and she says: ‘Well Kristina, if she was too depressed to see me, she wasn’t too depressed to find a new man?’ And, you know, what do I say to that?” Gary then recalled a period of time in which Leah was so depressed by her mother’s absence that she did nothing but sleep. “Let’s adopt Leah,” Kristina proposed. “I’m with you,” Gary replied. Not surprisingly, Amber had much to say about the situation on social media: “Make sure to watch Gary and Kristina tonight talking sh!t about me! It must be hard making money off of me! Being such a bad mom and all. Where would they be?” she tweeted. “Wait..in a 1 bedroom shack in the ghetto of Anderson where he was before I got out and the show came back on!! Ignorant!” And if you thought she’d stop there, you don’t know Amber: “[Kristina] broke up her family for money and tv!” Amber tweeted, targeting Gary’s wife. “Her husband got a restraining order on her cheating @ss with multiple people and then cheated with Gary! What about her daughter? Straight out of Gary’s mouth!!” “Restraining order to keep my child from filming,” Kristina replied. “I am an active mother to my children so quit hating. I’ve never stepped on your toes as a mother nor will I ever. I care for Leah when she is in our care. Love don’t hate.” Then things got even more bizarre when Farrah Abraham’s father, Michael, interjected: “Kristina stay strong. DO NOT LET ANYONE BULLY you. You’re the real proven mother figure here,” Michael tweeted. “Gary has always been the rock solid father protecting his children with you in full support and I’m thankful to God for both of you – the world knows the truth and that’s pure FACT.” We’d say this situation can’t get any weirder, but Michael Abraham just got involved, so stay tuned. In the meantime, watch Teen Mom OG online to get caught up on all of this season’s intense drama. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham SLAMS Amber Portwood: You’re the Worst Mom!

Stacy London Posts About Forgiveness; Did She Unblock Clinton Kelly?

For nine years, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly starred on the fashion reality series,  What Not To Wear . Sometimes, working closely with someone can lead to lifelong friendships. In others, though, it can lead to lifelong feuds. And, last November, Stacy London dramatically blocked Clinton Kelly on Twitter . But now Stacy London has made a long, vague post about forgiveness. Has she changed her tune about her former costar? Stacy London and Clinton Kelly spent a decade joined at the hip, because that was their job. They worked together, traveled together, and made appearances together both on and off of their show. In his 2017 memoir, I Hate Everyone, Except You, Clinton Kelly wrote of Stacy and of their relationship: ” I either adored her or despised her and never anything in between. ” That sounds like a lot of sibling relationships. And even like a few marriages. He also explained why he had always felt that way: ” We spent nearly 60 hours a week in captivity, rarely more than an arm’s length away from each other.” That’ll do it. “Trust me when I tell you that that is just too much time to spend with any other human being you didn’t choose of your own free will. ” That sounds like a fair description. When Stacy London dramatically blocked Clinton on Twitter, he shared it and suggested that he knew why, writing: “The tea is old. And I never spell tea unless I’m shook, which I’m not.” That’s a great line. He also used both  tea  and  shook  correctly as slang, which is really refreshing when we’re talking about a somewhat older white guy, though not surprising coming from Clinton Kelly. Now, in a lengthy post to Instagram, Stacy London wrote: “Last night, I was thinking about forgiveness. It’s very easy to say but sometimes not easy to do truthfully.” That’s true. Not everyone believes in forgiveness. Others believe that it’s theologically important, or good for their personal well-being. But it’s not easy, regardless. “If you’re like me when I’m hurt I can hold a grudge. I know the old adage: being angry or vengeful or hateful to someone because they’ve wronged you is like taking poison expecting the other person to die.” Many have said that, including the late, great Carrie Fisher. “Anger is much easier to cope with for me than sadness and pain. Being angry feels pro-active and empowering, like I’m in control of the situation.” She’s absolutely right. “But last night (and WHY last night, I’m not sure) it occurred to me that taking action like blocking people in order to feel some sense of control over other’s actions is a waste of my time.” She continues: “I can’t stop people from the way they behave. I can’t stop them from being angry with me, hurtful to me, or indifferent to me.” And she talks about how that, specifically, applies to social media. “I can block ex-friends and ex-lovers, people I feel wronged by, but to what end? For the most part, these people aren’t even looking at my accounts in the first place and even if they were, why would being able to see this highlight reel of my life matter in the slightest?” The connections to Clinton Kelly and how she famously blocked him are obvious. “Don’t get me wrong: truly hateful, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, racist comments are simply not permitted on my accounts.” That is a very good boundary to set, and good advice for anyone to follow. “@luvvie taught me that social media is NOT a democracy, it’s a dictatorship only in the sense that if you write on MY page l have every right to delete or block you. Go write nasty shit on your own page.” But she makes it clear that (though she’s still not naming him) she’s not accusing Clinton Kelly of anything of the sort. “Those are not the people I’m talking about. I’m talking about those I’ve had trouble forgiving for one reason or another.” Still vague. “The problem is the more I hold on to my anger, the more I hurt, not them. And while feeling pain and sadness sucks, it’s necessary, NOT damaging.” You gotta look out for your own health, folks. “Forgiveness is something you give yourself to move on, to find peace, to let go. So I unblocked a bunch of people today. If this resonates, maybe you can too.” It’s not clear if Clinton Kelly has actually been unblocked. (Unlike who’s following whom, list of who has blocked whom are not readily visible). But … it sure sounds like she may have taken him off of her social media no-fly list. That’s progress.
