RECAP Simon Saran, Farrah Abraham and Amber Portwood keep feuding
Monday night is the big prize fight (literally?) between Teen Mom OG stars Farrah Abraham and Amber Portwood as their ongoing feud culminates during the Teen Mom OG Finale Special With Dr. Drew with at least one punch being thrown between the two ladies, as well as a physical altercation between Farrah’s dad Michael Abraham and Amber Portwood’s fiance Matt Baier. But, just like the hype before a big pay-per-view boxing match, Farrah and Amber are weighing in with pre-fight jabs via social media. And Farrah’s male companion Simon Saran is playing the part of legendary promoter Don King by stirring things up!
OK, before we get to the latest, I feel I should fill everyone in on the feud so far. Amber and Farrah seemed to be good friends there for a while, with Amber even appearing on Farrah’s podcast back in February. That friendship crumbled, however, after Farrah did an interview in which she stated that it was a good thing that Gary Shirley has primary custody of Amber’s daughter Leah.
The already burning bridge between the two former gal pals became engulfed in flames when Simon Saran began doing live commentary and recaps of Teen Mom OG episodes on Snapchat, during which he was a little less than kind when it came to Amber’s fiance Matt. In October things exploded when Simon called Matt a pedophile. Those comments resulted in a Twitter spat between Amber and Simon in which she called him “a little b!tch” and a “little boy toy puppet” who is “weak and irrelevant.”
Less than two weeks after Simon’s infamous pedophile comments, the cast of Teen Mom OG met up in California for the Reunion. Obviously, Amber was still angry, and she absolutely lost it when Dr. Drew asked Simon about the pedophile comment and as Simon was trying to say it was just a joke, Farrah commented that Matt looked like a pedophile. That’s when Amber stormed on stage and all Hell broke loose.
After the Reunion brawl, the feud between Amber and Simon once again spilled over to social media, this time with Simon calling Amber a hippo and Matt a “senior citizen pu**y.”
The next day, things EXPLODED on Twitter as Simon was at the center of a maelstrom of tweets from not only Amber, but also Catelynn Baltierra, Teen Mom OG Executive producer Morgan Freeman, and even comedian Stevie Ryan!
Early in November, Amber returned to bashing Farrah after someone pointed out that Amber had nude photos that found their way online back in the day, adding that Farrah worked hard at making her multiple businesses a success while Amber sat on a couch all day. Amber’s response, in part, was to state flatly “I am 100% better than a person like her. All day every day. Love ?”
Hang in there, we are almost caught up y’all!
Monday night MTV aired Part One of the Teen Mom OG Season 6 Reunion, and Amber UNLEASHED on Farrah with Dr. Drew! The whole thing started when Amber talked about being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, which Dr. Drew pointed out is associated with anger issues. “I like nice people,” Amber pointed out. “I don’t like mean people, because then I get mean. Only if they’re mean to me first though. See, I want people to understand that I can’t just, like, be mean to you.
“I get it,” says Dr. Drew.
“Like, I’m not Farrah Abraham,” Amber says as she turns to the audience. “I can’t just be mean to you for no reason. But if you’re mean to me, I’m a woman and I’m going to stand up for myself.”
“Speaking of Farrah,” Dr. Drew says,” you had that conversation with her. Do you have any feelings about that whole — are you and Farrah OK? I guess is the question.”
“Hell no!”
“How come?” asks Dr. Drew.
“We used to be,” Amber admits, “and then one day she decided to open up her, uh, crooked lips.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Dr. Drew says.
“She just decided to do an interview saying something around that something about how it’s good that Leah is with Gary, and how my house probably smells like p!ss — because of my dogs that I rescued. By the way, they are all rescues, because I love animals,” Amber says to the camera.”
Dr. Drew observes: “This is back to your ‘somebody’s being mean so I’m going to be -‘”
“And she’s been mean to Catelynn,” Amber interrupts, “Maci, my fiance, Taylor, everyone on this show. And her piece of sh!t boy toy Simon! When she makes a quote saying she’s the reason why this show’s on, well I’m sorry but when I was in prison this show was not on, and when I got out it sure as hell came on. And she was selling her vagina while I was gone!” The audience claps. “So, we’ll make that clear.”
“Can you stay a little more positive?” asks Dr. Drew.
“No, I’m good,” Amber says shortly and Dr. Drew laughs. “No!” exclaims Amber. “Dr. Drew, no! Do not let her get way with what she does! And you do. You need to call her out more when she is sitting on this stage. And you let her get away with a lot of things. The way she speaks to the crew, the way she speaks to people in general — her mother, her father — is disrespectful and disgusting! And I’m just saying what a lot of people think. She needs a change.”
“My understanding is that we’re going to try to get you guys all out here together,” Dr. Drew reveals.
“It had better be on the far end,” Amber says, looking to the other side of the couch. “She better not say A WORD to me, except for ‘I’m sorry,’ if she’s a woman enough to do that.”
“Will you accept an apology?” asks Dr. Drew.
“Absolutely,” Amber reveals.
After the episode aired, Farrah Abraham shared a photo of Amber from the Reunion along with her “Like, I’m not Farrah Abraham” quote on Instagram. “She’s Sad that she’s not ????,” Farrah captioned the photo, adding: “I’ll pray for ya ?????? & everyone else like ya.”
Later, Farrah posted another picture of Amber with the “I am not Farrah” quote at the top, but this one was alongside another photo of Miss Piggy from The Muppet Show. The text at the bottom of the side-by-side photos reads “Definitely not. Ur Miss Piggy!” Here’s that photo followed by Farrah’s caption:
Lmao I love fans they make the best sh!t you can’t say out loud ????????????? by the way Iove miss piggy but not the knock off
Amber offered up her reaction to Farrah’s post in the comments section and then with her own Miss Piggy Instagram photo:
Miss Piggy looks classy with her pearls, I like this. And sorry I didn’t do that show with you and it didn’t get picked up. Have a good night Hun..if you want to keep going then I have plenty to share?? Just let me know.
After the Miss Piggy photo fallout, Simon spoke with Hollywood Life about the Reunion brawl and stated flatly that “the whole fight was set up by producers. Why else would the cameras be where they were?” he asks. “The security was so tight, they would not even let me out of my room to go grab lunch.” And we all know how seriously Simon takes his lunches!
Simon says Amber “was very scared when she ran out on stage” and stated again that she did throw a punch at Farrah, which missed. Simon says that was probably good for Amber — for two reasons. “If Amber had hit Farrah, Amber would be in jail right now,” Simon points out. “And Farrah would probably knock Amber’s ass out anyway. I don’t think Amber would win that fight, 100% Farrah would win, I would put money on that too.”
After that article came out, the feud moved over to Twitter where Amber and Simon got into it once again. Simon also dragged blogger Matt Richards (aka Real Mr. Housewife) into the fray. (Matt Richards is going out on a limb in support of Amber’s fiance Matt Baier by helping him write a book to clear up all the untrue things about his past. Just from the lies Matt Baier has admitted to telling Amber on screen, that sure seems like a mighty long and precarious limb!)
There are a few deleted tweets that I couldn’t resurrect, but otherwise here is the latest chapter recapped for you in an easier-to-read chronological timeline:
This clown is not a credible source. He's also milking amber for fame. Getting Matt naked was only for his own pleasure. #teenmomog https://t.co/dkOoyMIElL
