Amber Portwood is an American reality television personality. She has been featured on the MTV reality show 16 and Pregnant and its spin-off, Teen Mom. She has been convicted of two felonies.
In 2010, Portwood was charged with two counts of felony domestic battery after she was caught on camera assaulting her then-fiancé Gary Shirley in front of their daughter Leah. The charges were later dropped to a single count of misdemeanor domestic battery after Shirley decided not to press charges.
In 2012, Portwood was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to drug possession charges stemming from an arrest earlier that year. However, she was released early from prison in 2013 after serving 17 months behind bars.
