Amber Portwood Flips OUT at 90 Day Fiance Comparison: I'm Not as Bad an Abuser as Geoffrey Paschel! I Was Abused Too!
As soon as fans started asking if Dimitri Garcia was moving to the US for Amber Portwood, they had to know that comparisons were coming.
Sure enough, a Teen Mom blog made some joking comparisons between Teen Mom couples and 90 Day Fiance pairs.
That may sound harmless ... but when Amber saw it, she lost her entire mind.
She posted rant after rant.
One of the issues may have been that she was compared to Geoffrey Paschel, the accused rapist and wifebeater.
But Amber's comments, now-deleted but thankfully captured by the good folks at The Ashley, show that this wasn't her only issue.
The most serious part of Amber's series of rants is when she describes abuse that she herself has suffered.
Take a look for yourself:
1. Here is the post that launched it all
We will explain exactly what the post meant and why Amber didn't get it very shortly. Notably, this was one of many comparisons between Teen Mom couples and 90 Day Fiance couples.
2. Briefly ...
Geoffrey Paschel and Varya Malina starred on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days. Geoffrey's on-screen behavior seemed weird as he juggled two women, playing them against each other. His off-screen "behavior" includes a lengthy criminal history and an upcoming trial for a brutal domestic attack, and fan outcry got him banned from the 90 Day Fiance Tell All special.
3. Meanwhile
Amber Portwood has moved on from Andrew Glennon to Dimitri Garcia, but she is haunted by her own past, including a frightening attack against Andrew -- one that led to her pleading guilty to domestic battery and intimidation. This was not her first time getting into trouble with the law for striking her partner.
4. Amber flipped out at the comparison
Seemingly missing the point of the comparison, Amber flips out over her relationship being compared to 90 Day Fiance. We get it -- there were a lot of comments roasting her relationship, and many 90 Day Fiance relationships are infamous for one or both parties transparently using the other. But for Amber to threaten to sue the page seems a little ... extreme.
5. Dimitri didn't get it either
He thought that people were just saying that he, a Belgian man, was trying to get legal residency, taking advantage of Amber, etc. Again, sure, plenty of people have said that, but no one questions that Varya genuinely fell in love with Geoffrey. Like Amber, he is totally missing the point. They both could have googled Geoffrey's name and understood the REAL point being made.
6. Amber apologized to Dimitri
Look, plenty of people had made weird comments, so that's fair ... but the biggest burn was aimed at Amber, not at Belgians.
