Sadly, Teen Mom fans might not be getting a glimpse into the life of Amber Portwood anymore. The single mom, who's currently behind bars for violating several terms of her probation, including failing to complete her drug tests and take anger management classes, testified that she feels "pressured and exploited" by her work with MTV and wants to leave the show.

"I want to quit, and I will," Amber said in court, according to The Herald Bulletin. Her attorney Evan Broderick added that Amber just wants to live a normal life out of the spotlight with her daughter, Leah.
Amber has been in the Madison County Jail in Indiana since Dec. 19 and is court-ordered to remain there until Jan. 27, when there will be an evidentiary hearing.

Amber not only failed to do things she promised to after her domestic battery case in June — like deposit $10,000 into an education fund for Leah or get her GED — but she is now being accused of committing a new felony — battery and possession of a controlled substance.
The 21-year-old was found in her apartment on Dec. 16 appearing "very groggy" and authorities found a number of non-prescription drugs in her possession, including 32 hydrocodone tablets, six soma tablets and two methocarbamol tablets.

Although Amber was prescribed hydrocodone by her doctor after she left a Malibu, Calif., rehab center this summer, the MTV star admits she was abusing the drugs due to intense back pain.
Hmm, what do you think of all this? Should Amber quit Teen Mom?
