Catelynn Lowell is seemingly done defending her longtime friend and Teen Mom co-star Amber Portwood.
During a Live with YouTubers
“I think she’s manic,” Catelynn said. “I’m telling you right now, she is not well…deep down, I know for a fact she’s sick.”
Catelynn stated that she has attempted to help Amber, who seems to spend the bulk majority of her days ranting and fighting on TikTok Live.
“There’s been numerous times in this journey where I have talked to Amber privately, and I’ve said, ‘Girl, I think that you really need to go somewhere. I think you need to go to an inpatient treatment facility,’” Catelynn said. “Just this past May that passed, when we were still filming [‘Next Chapter’], I reached out to her and I was like, ‘Do you like living your life like this? Are you happy?’”
Catelynn stated that she told Amber that she would even accompany her to an inpatient rehab facility.
“I was like, ‘Let’s go. I will fly with you, I will take you there. I feel like it would benefit you so much,’” Catelynn said. “And she always just denies it, so I’m just kind of at the point now where I’m like, ‘You know you’re not happy fully. You know that there’s stuff that you could work on to help you get there. I’m sick of just, I don’t know, bringing it up and you don’t want to better yourself. So, I’m just kind of like— I take a step back— and I’m just like, ‘Well…whatever.’”
Catelynn, Elle and Rei discussed how Amber’s life is currently on “repeat,” consisting of her staying up seemingly for days while on TikTok Live ranting about things including her ‘Teen Mom’ co-stars, her baby daddy
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans are aware, Amber has been diagnosed with multiple mental health disorders, which she claims to take medication for. However, Catelynn feels that this is not enough to help Amber.
“Medicine is not the fix for it all,” she said. “It’s a stepping stone to fix it but you have to go to talk therapy…Medicine, yeah, it’s a step in the right direction but you have to dig down deep to be like, ‘Where does this all come from? Why do I act the way that I do?’”
“…I think she just needs serious, intense inpatient treatment therapy, for sure,” Catelynn added of Amber.
During the Live, Catelynn also indicated that she’s upset that Amber continues to bash her and their co-star
“You want to go online and talk crap about me and Maci when we’ve been the two people that have literally tried to help you this whole time,” Catelynn said. “We have tried to show you like, ‘Hey, this is what you could do if you want to do better.’ So, I’m kind of over it…I think it gets annoying when you see that someone could benefit from it so much and they know deep down that they would too, and they just don’t want to do it for themselves.
“I’m wiping my hands,” Cate added.
As The Ashley told you in March, Amber went off on Cate and Maci during a TikTok Live rant, flipping them off on-camera and implying that they were bad friends to her.
Days later, Amber was back on TikTok Live apologizing to Maci and Catelynn and explaining that she thought they were siding with her nemesis Gary
During the Live last week, Catelynn also addressed recent claims made on TikTok Live by her co-star and former (?) friend Amber Portwood. As The Ashley told you, Amber has been squawking that her quitting the show earlier this year is the reason ‘Next Chapter’ got cancelled, and that she played a large part in the ‘Teen Mom’ cast “losing their jobs.”
“All of that is not factual,” Catelynn said of Amber’s claims. “She’s not the one paying the bigwigs that ran our show who are still there getting paid.”
Well, don’t be too sure about that. According to Napolitano, who spoke with Collider’s
“We really wanted to write a love letter to Bodiela fans. Their love has been such an important part of the show. It was such an important part of the pilot. She’s been such an important part of our show and Bode’s life that we wanted to honor that and give the audience this little window of exactly what those scenes are, which is them in pajamas on the couch.
And, while they may not be together right now, Napolitano certainly isn’t using definitive words like “never” when it comes to what the future holds for the pair. When asked whether Bode and Gabriela could be endgame, she said,
With all the back-and-forth dynamics playing out between Bode and Gabriela during the show’s run, it seemed like both characters were finding happiness with other partners in
“Audrey will return to Edgewater and will really be someone that Bode leans on. She’s someone that’s got his number. He has those pills in the final moments of the show. Brett Richards is going to be someone who’s under his skin. He’s dealing with the grief of losing his father. Audrey will really rise to the occasion to be someone who can keep him in line, keep him fighting, and keep him fighting to follow his better angels. In the fight for Bode’s soul, I think she’s really going to be a force for good that will make us root for them as a couple.”
