Amber Portwood wants recognition for paving the way for the Teen Mom franchise.

The former reality TV villain has turned to some of the worst social media apps for attention after walking away from the MTV series.

She seems to be fond of presenting herself as a perpetual victim while simultaneously extolling her own praises, even when her account of things doesn’t seem to match reality.

Now, she’s taking credit for the Teen Mom franchise, at least in part. She’s also, despite everything, saying that she has no regrets.

Amber Portwood will always be her own #1 fan

As is too often her habit, Amber Portwood spent an alarming amount of time on TikTok over this past weekend.

(If there is anyone remaining in her life who loves and cares about her, they should encourage her to stop)

As you can see in the clip below, she went on TikTok Live to directly, well, fight with commenters.

Amber at one point insisted that social media followings do not impress her.

She turned around and boasted that she accrued more than “5 million” just from being on Teen Mom.

Amber then bragged that she “paved the way” for that show to exist.

It’s unclear if she’s trying to say that she helped put it on the map or something else.

She has ‘paved the way’ and also ‘made waves’

“That’s hard! You don’t know what hard is,” Amber Portwood seemed to yell at a TikTok commenter.

“Don’t come for somebody who’s already paved the way and made waves!” she shouted.

“Began it and ended s–t.”

Amber ranted, insisting: “Don’t come at that person out of anybody, don’t come at that person!”

“I promise you, they’re going to know more people, know more than you, be more wise about things,” Amber boldly insisted.

“And,” she insisted, “have way more experiences than you could ever understand!”

Amber declared, this time not inaccurately: “It’s another beast to be in the entertainment industry for 20 f–king years than here on TikTok.”

NO regrets? Really?

Still riding some sort of emotional high, Amber Portwood sang her own praises and insists that she regrets nothing. Not even her own regrettable actions.

“Everything that I went through, no, I do not have any regrets,” she proclaimed.

“Why? Because of the people I helped.”

She rambled: “Done. Like, it’s just done. I’m gonna keep doing what I’m doing, which is a beautiful thing today.” 

Obviously, a string of nonsensical statements full of self-aggrandizement sounds a lot like a mental health episode.

This is not the first time that she has sounded delusional.

But though Amber is very openly mentally ill, we should be careful to acknowledge that this might just be Amber talking.

You don’t need a mental health crisis or a manic phase to rewrite history. Or to snap at your own alleged “fans.”

One of the more bizarre stories to emerge from the murder of Charlien Kirk had to do with a media stunt that turned out to be very poorly timed.

Just days before the shooting, the news and culture site Jezebel ran a humor piece in which the author described the process of paying a witch from Etsy to put a curse on Kirk.

No actual harm was intended by the writer, who appears to hold the standard belief that witchcraft is not “real” in any material sense.

But it seems that one of the witches involved feels responsible for causing undue “distress.”

Priestess Lilin issues apology to Erika Kirk

One of the supernatural practitioners who was contacted for the “We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk” article has spoken with the Daily Mail and asked for a “private conversation” with Charlie’s widow, Erika Kirk.

“We regret any distress experienced. What we do is done based on an impartial perspective and at a professional level,” the witch, who goes by the name Priestess Lilin, told the outlet.

“We respect the widow’s feelings and welcome a private conversation to address her concerns,” she added.

According to the priestess, the curse was spiritual in nature and was never intended to cause any physical harm.

“Our spells are spiritual in nature and we do not perform actions that are intended to cause physical harm,” she explained.

The debate over Charlie Kirk’s legacy continues

Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric made him a divisive figure in life, as many recognized his most inflammatory content as the sort of speech that has historically led to violence.

He’s remained divisive in death, with rightwing politicians declaring him a free speech martyr, and figures on the Left pointing out that Kirk was a professional provocateur and a gun rights absolutist who believed that deadly force is a necessary evil in America.

It’s important to note that no sane person on either end of the political spectrum is celebrating Kirk’s death, and obviously, Priestess Lilin wants to make clear that she never wished violence on anyone.

As the discourse regarding Kirk’s life and legacy continues, it would be beneficial for both sides to bear in mind that his belief in the importance of free speech was one of Charlie’s most deeply held principles.

In other words, he probably wouldn’t be a fan of comedians being canceled in his name or anyone receiving death threats because of their words.

As we enter the final months of 2025, hopefully, the nation can come together on core beliefs such as: no one should be killed for their words, and no one’s words should encourage violence.

Few celebrity breakups have been as shocking as the Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban split.

It’s not just that the beloved stars are unexpectedly calling it quits after 19 years of marriage; it’s also the messy fashion in which this is all playing out.

Insiders say Urban already has a girlfriend, and based on Nicole’s divorce filing, this is not an amicable breakup!

Nicole Kidman files for divorce, demands primary custody of children

Yes, according to a new report from TMZ, Nicole has already filed to legally end the marriage, and she’s made some shocking demands in her Marital Dissolution Agreement.

Under the arrangement proposed by Nicole, the exes’ two daughters will spend 306 days of the year with her and just 59 days with Keith.

Yes, Nicole has clearly given this a lot of thought, and she couldn’t be more precise in her demands.

She gave the vague “irreconcilable differences” reason for the divorce (a favorite among celebs who wish to retain a shred of privacy), and she’s stated that she intends to remain the “primary residential parent of the minor children.”

All major decisions involving their kids — including those pertaining to education and healthcare — will be made jointly, and Keith and Nicole have agreed to take co-parenting lessons to help them navigate the transition ahead.

Neither party is requesting spousal support or child support, but there is a clause stating that Keith has prepaid “child support obligations.”

Nicole comes out on top

In short, Nicole appears to have the upper hand, and it sounds like she and Keith have been hammering out terms for quite some time, possibly since they first separated back in June.

But interestingly, sources tell TMZ that Nicole filed abruptly with no advance warning to Keith.

It’s possible that she decided to pull the trigger now that the cat is out of the bag.

Or maybe she’s just furious over the fact that he’s already dating someone new.

According to TMZ, “sources connected to Kidman say that “all the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let’s just say, Nicole doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked over it.”

There’s no indication that Keith started dating the new woman while he was still involved with Nicole, but the speed with which he’s moved on must have come as a shock after 19 years of marriage.

Here’s hoping these two can manage to keep things at least semi-civil for the sake of their kids.
