Amber Portwood on Andrew Glennon Assault: I Guess I'm a Terrible Person!
April 22, 2020
It's been 10 months since Amber Portwood assaulted Andrew Glennon as he attempted to protect the then-couple's 1-year-old son, James.
Amber avoided jail time for the assault, and somehow, she even managed to hold on to her job on Teen Mom OG.
But that doesn't mean her life was completely unaffected.
Amber was sentenced to two and a half years of probation, as well as court-ordered parenting classes.
Most importantly, she lost primary custody of James, who now spends the majority of his time living with Glennon.
On Tuesday night's episode of Teen Mom OG, Amber reflected on her recent actions and took stock of long history of violence in one of the series' most emotional episodes to date.
Take a look:
1. The Formerly Happy Family
When Amber Portwood assaulted Andrew Glennon July 4, 2019, Teen Mom OG fans assumed it would be the end of her freedom, or at the very least, her time on the show.
2. Abuser With a Platform
But these days, Amber is still employed by MTV, and she's still telling her side of the story.
3. Monstrous Behavior
The details from that night remain horrifying. Police reports indicate that Amber ran after Andrew with a machete and continued to attack him even as he ran for shelter with 1-year-old James in his arms.
4. Scot-Free
TMOG viewers were stunned by the news that Amber would not serve any jail time for her crimes. Even more shocking was the news that she would continue to be employed by MTV.
5. Defending Her Life
Amber is taking advantage of her continued TV stardom to try and rebuild her reputation and sway the public back to her side.
6. Turns Out She's Capable of Feeling Guilt!
She still denies that she's guilty of all that Andrew accused her of, but on this week's episode of TMOG, she admitted to feeling remorse from some of her actions.
