MTV Confirms: Amber Portwood Fired from Teen Mom, Dispelling Quit Rumors

March 15, 2025 – In a shocking turn of events, MTV has officially confirmed that Amber Portwood, a long-standing figure in the Teen Mom franchise, was terminated from the series, putting an end to speculation that she voluntarily stepped away. The network’s statement, released earlier today, marks a dramatic shift in the narrative surrounding Portwood’s departure, which she recently claimed was her own decision driven by mental health concerns.

In an official press release, MTV stated: “After careful consideration and review of Amber Portwood’s tenure with the Teen Mom franchise, we made the difficult decision to terminate her contract earlier this year due to ongoing challenges that impacted production. Contrary to recent claims, her exit was not voluntary, but a necessary step for the direction of the series.” The statement, while vague on specifics, points to behind-the-scenes issues that reportedly strained her relationship with the network.

Portwood, 34, has been a polarizing figure since her debut on 16 and Pregnant in 2009, followed by her prominent role on Teen Mom OG and later Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. Her journey—marked by legal troubles, mental health struggles, and a strained relationship with her daughter Leah Shirley—has been a cornerstone of the franchise’s raw storytelling. However, recent months saw mounting rumors of her potential firing after her appearances dwindled and she publicly criticized MTV on TikTok Live.

Just days ago, on March 12, Portwood took to social media to assert that she had quit the show, telling fans during a TikTok Live session: “I wasn’t fired—I left three days ago for my mental health.” Her emotional rebuttal came amid fan speculation and reports from outlets like The U.S. Sun, which suggested her reduced screen time this season hinted at a network decision rather than a personal one. MTV’s statement directly contradicts her account, igniting a firestorm of debate among Teen Mom viewers.

Sources close to production, speaking anonymously, allege that Portwood’s erratic behavior and conflicts with the network had reached a breaking point. “Amber’s been a liability for a while,” one insider claimed. “Her TikTok rants, her inconsistent filming, and the drama with her family—it was too much. MTV wanted a fresh start, and she didn’t fit the vision anymore.” While the network’s official statement avoids such details, it’s clear that tensions had been simmering behind closed doors.

The announcement also raises questions about Portwood’s future and her ongoing personal struggles. In recent episodes of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, her estrangement from 16-year-old Leah—who has expressed a desire to be adopted by stepmother Kristina Shirley—has been a focal point. Portwood’s legal history, including a 2010 domestic violence arrest and a 2019 incident involving ex Andrew Glennon, has long fueled public scrutiny. Her claim of quitting for mental health reasons resonated with some fans, but MTV’s revelation casts doubt on her narrative.

Social media erupted following the statement, with #AmberPortwood trending on X. Fans expressed a mix of shock and vindication. One user posted, “Knew she didn’t quit—MTV finally had enough!” while another lamented, “Amber deserved better than being fired like this after all she’s given them.” The divide reflects the complex legacy Portwood leaves behind after over a decade on the network.

MTV has not disclosed whether Portwood’s firing will be addressed on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, which airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET. For now, her exit marks the end of an era for the franchise that once centered on her tumultuous life. As the dust settles, one thing is certain: Amber Portwood’s departure—whether by choice or by force—will remain a talking point for Teen Mom fans for years to come.
