Amber Portwood Announces Break From Instagram in Order to Not 'Worry About Negativity'

Amber Portwood has had enough of the negativity on the internet, understandably.

Posting a photo while celebrating her daughter's birthday, the Teen Mom OG star shared that it would be the last post fans would see of her and Leah. "I'm going to hand over my Instagram so I won't have to worry about negativity and to move forward in a positive light," she wrote.

Last photo with me and this beautiful little lady yesterday ? I'm going to hand over my Instagram so I won't have to worry about negativity and to move forward in a positive light. You can still contact me though. I will get certain messages? #sendinglove #beautifulsouls ❤always?

Following Leah's birthday post, Amber added one more photo, which said: "I want you to be the first to know I'm leaving" with an added "#LinkInBio." The link lead to an Us Weekly article citing Amber's decision to take a break from Instagram. And she has since deleted the post.

Amber's decision to pull back from the spotlight makes sense considering the year she has had. In July, she was arrested for allegedly attacking Andrew Glennon, the father of her one-year-old son, James. According to Us Weekly, Amber "will receive one felony charge for the incident and be on probation for
one year, and the felony charge will be lowered to a misdemeanor provided no problems arise," per an insider.

It seems a little time out of the public eye might do Amber some good!
