I found this on another board..it's from Perez Hilton..I know, I know..but honestly, I have found most of those readings to end up being true.
Fromm y guilty pleasure, Perezhilton.com:
*** is out of control!
On Tuesday's episode of Teen Mom, Indiana natives and teenage parents Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley were caught on film in a vicious argument that ended with Amber ruthlessly beating on her baby daddy, right in front of their baby! She hit him, she kicked him and to top it all off, she punched him in the face! Gary never physically reciprocated, just stood there and took his beating like a man.
The pre-taped incident was so severe that the police are now looking into the family and investigating a possible assault charge. The police reportedly got two anonymous e-mails urging authorities to look into the incident.
Ah, MTV has started to get clever, we see! Nice touch, alerting the police like that!
Look forward to this future special episode of Teen Mom, where MTV will follow Amber as she gets tossed in jail!

Anderson ?Teen Mom? being investigated for assault
MTV show features Amber Portwood in physical fight with ex-fianc?
By Brandi Watters The Herald Bulletin The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. ? Local police have begun an investigation into an apparent assault that appeared on Tuesday?s episode of ?Teen Mom,? an MTV reality show featuring Anderson residents Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley.The pre-taped episode features a scene in which Portwood appears to hit, punch and kick her ex-fianc?, Shirley, after he accuses her of being a bad mom and threatens to report her to Child Protective Services.
Portwood and Shirley were first featured in the MTV reality series, ?16 and Pregnant.?
?Teen Mom,? which follows the lives of four teen mothers, has returned in its second season with episodes airing each week, Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
Lt. Paul Boulware of the Anderson Police Department said the department wasn?t aware of the fight until Wednesday, when the department?s victim?s advocate received two anonymous e-mails urging police to look into the incident.
?We assigned an officer to it this afternoon,? Boulware said.
The episode, which was pre-taped, features a fight between Portwood and Shirley that begins when Shirley questions Portwood about crib sheets on their daughter?s bed.
?Why didn?t you put a sheet on her bed when my mom brought brand new ones today?? Shirley asks Portwood.
When Portwood begins screaming at him, Shirley threatens her. ?Lower your voice because Child Protective Services will get called.?
With their child, Leah, standing at their feet, the two argue back and forth until Shirley finally takes the child and leaves the apartment.
?I?m keeping her for a while,? Shirley says as he exits Portwood?s Anderson apartment.
?Oh really? How long is that,? she responds.
?Forever,? Shirley says.
The Herald Bulletin contacted Child Protective Services and inquired about any existing complaints against Portwood or Shirley.
Ann Houseworth of Child Protective Services responded to the query. ?State statute does not permit me to speak about case specific information on children or families that may be involved with the child welfare system.?
When Shirley returns later in the episode, he finds Portwood stacking his belongings in the stairwell that leads to her apartment.
She tells him that he can?t stay with her anymore and an argument ensues.
As Shirley stands atop the stairs, Portwood appears to punch and slap him seven times.
?I am at the edge,? she screams, asking if he wants her to punch him in the face.
During the altercation, Shirley never responds to Portwood?s attacks physically, but continually asks ?are you done?? and tells her to quit hitting him.
As Shirley descends the stairway, Portwood appears to kick him in the back.
Early in the episode, Portwood tells a friend that she has been practicing Krav Maga, an Israeli hand-to-hand combat system.
?Even though things with Gary are confusing right now, at least I know how to fight for what I believe in,? Portwood states in a voice-over during the episode.
The Herald Bulletin attempted to reach officials with MTV, but calls were not returned.
Boulware said the investigation into the possible domestic violence has been forwarded to the department?s criminal investigation unit.
He said the incident is a unique case because it was taped and aired on national television. ?It?s a new way of receiving information. It?s like a 911 call through reality TV.?
It appears that the department never received a report of the incident from the MTV film crew on scene. ?We have not had any information about it until e-mails were sent to the victim advocate,? Boulware said.
In some cases, Boulware said, those who witness a crime but fail to report it to police can face criminal charges. ?It depends on what kind of crime it is.?
The Herald Bulletin visited Portwood?s Anderson apartment Wednesday, but Portwood and Shirley are in Tennessee filming their show with MTV, according to a family friend staying at the residence. Watch the episode:

"those who witness a crime but fail to report it to police can face criminal charges."
Hell to the yeah. I know there is supposed to be a "wall" between film crew and reality stars, but when should someone step in? A good question is, would they step in if it was Gary hitting Amber?

Exactly! And I think that if had been Gary doing the hitting, he'd already be in jail.
I agree and MTV knew it was wrong because after that clip they kept airing domestic violence hotline, and then they said watch xx after the show to hear Amber and Gary talk about domestic violence.
I think it is totally one sided, if it were Gary he would be in jail. I used to volunteer for Battered Woman's Alternative and they changed the name to STAND against Domestic Violence because there are men out there who are abused too (and lots of same sex couples who also are victims). It is a huge stigma that only men can be the abusers.
I hope charges get pressed and she has to enroll in a anger management program.
I mentioned this in another post. In the People Mag article it says that she and Gary aren't together but that she wears a ring, a "promise ring" to signify her promise to not be violent any more. I really really hope this means that she has gotten into a program.

Yeah, the whole violence on reality shows is getting way out of control and the producers/film crew/whomever should be stepping in and making phone calls to 911 if necessary. Police should be called. We all sit and watch these shows where nobody does anything, and it makes it seem alright to do nothing if we happened upon a situation in real life - and that's not right.
I watched the episode yesterday and it made me sick...Amber really has major anger issues and she needs some serious help. I feel so bad for poor Leah, that she has to grow up in that kind of environment. I really hope she does get jail time, and some counseling.
