The machete attack of Amber Portwood signals the end of her job at "Teen Mom"

Amber Portwood will lose more than her freedom if she is found guilty of chasing her boyfriend with a machete – she will almost certainly lose her job on "Teem Mom OG".

Production sources tell TMZ … Amber is already on the ice after being arrested for domestic violence 3 criminal charges – domestic battery, criminal recklessness with deadly weapon and domestic battery in the presence of a child.

The dealbreaker for the show … if a jury believes Amber was handling a machete during an animated discussion with bf Andrew Glennon. As we had announced … Amber knocked on a door, Glennon holding his toddler on the other side.

Our sources say that a conviction for the use of a lethal weapon in a domestic violence incident should end his 10-year career in the "Teen Mom" ​​franchise. We are told that the series lets the judicial process unfold … but a conviction will almost certainly be all that she has written.

As the mad fans of "Teen Mom" ​​know … the series has been alongside Amber in the past, when she went through other legal storms. You will remember that she was burst for domestic violence in 2010 for hitting his ex, Gary Shirley … an incident taken by the MTV cameras.

MTV was again with Amber when she was arrested in 2011 for possession of a controlled substance. She finally served a sentence behind bars and later admitted to having abused prescription drugs.

The difference in this case … putting his son in danger. Aside from the obvious, it is far too risky for a show to keep someone in the air with this kind of propensity for violence because if it breaks again and that the # 39, child was hurt … the show would have to pay with all its weight.

Amber recently stated that she was bipolar and was suffering from borderline personality disorder. She also talked about postpartum depression. Obviously, all factors will be taken into account before a final decision is made.
