Amber Portwood To Leave MTV's 'Teen Mom,' Feels Exploited: 'I Want To Quit, And I Will'

Is troubled "Teen Mom" Amber Portwood ready to leave the MTV hit series behind? According to her hometown newspaper, The Herald Bulletin, Portwood wants to quit the docudrama for good.

During her Indiana court hearing on Thursday, Portwood confessed to the judge that she felt exploited by the MTV cameras, stating, "I want to quit, and I will."

MTV has not yet commented on Portwood's future with "Teen Mom," but the 21-year-old mother's attorney, Evan Broderick, said that she wants to live a normal life, one without reality cameras following her every move.

However, that "normal life" Portwood is hoping for will have to wait since a Madison County judge ordered her to remain jailed at least until her Jan. 27 hearing. She was arrested Monday for violating her probation. According to reports, she failed to submit to drug tests, did not complete her GED or required anger management classes, failed to deposit $10,000 into an education fund for her daughter and also failed to pay $56 in probation fees.

Upon receiving the judge's ruling that she'd been charged with Class D felony possession of a controlled substance, the local paper reports that the "Teen Mom" dropped her head into her hands and rubbed her eyes.

This isn't Portword's first run in with the law.

In June, Portwood was sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of felony domestic battery against Gary Shirley, the father of her now three-year-old daughter, Leah. However, Portwood's sentence was suspended and she was put on two years probation.

In 2010, the "Teen Mom" was shown slapping Shirley on the MTV reality show.

I wish these stupid reality shows would just stop. They are not real. Come on anyone who beleives they are,needs help. What happened to the good old tv shows that made you laugh or cry or both?At 21 she is no longer a teen. Her little one is only learning to be a brat. This is not helping the child. How much does she make doing this? Let her quit serve her time in jail and get a REAL job. These shows really make me sick.

She is so vulgar and unclassy. I feel so bad for her daughter, Leah. She is going to grow up thinking that this kind of behavior is acceptable. Amber needs to remove herself from the spotlight and get proper help. She is disgusting and mean.

She is simply angry that her disgusting actions have been caught by the very cameras that support her conflicting need to be in the spotlight.

MamaKri, you are so right. She created the problem due to her actions. Our mouths dropped when she was hitting her former ex. What nerve and did she realling think she was going to get away with that. Leave and get help.

Hopefully, all of them including the entire show would quit.

I watched it a few times and I just changed the channel every time.

The only way they are going to go away is if no one watches them. I for one do not watch them.Better ways to waste my time.

Sure she will say anything to stay out of jail but I am all about second chances for some and she was asked to do some things for her DAUGHTER and did none of them which really leaves me with a sour taste. She is old enough now to know better and to control herself and do the right things in life with decent choices. Blaming Gary for her mistakes is not the answer she needs to get her act together and get her GED, go to college, get a college fund started and save some money while she can. Heck if reality cameras wanna follow me and my crazy life and pay me for it then do so.....I will make good use of that money in the right way.

The already filmed Season 4 which is the last season of Teen mom (excluding maybe after shows/reunion). It's all a ploy
