Amber: A Rill Woman Goes to Gel

Oh wow. We had the opposite experience. My husband is a software developer and we had an insanely good year a few years ago. We didn’t really expect/save for how much we needed to pay come April 15th. We ended up with a lien but once we got the payment plan settled, the lien was removed and we were able to sell property. 

It's been a bit of a nightmare here. Mine was a bit different. I applied for a sales tax number so that I could set up and sell my books at festivals and such. Only, I never had to do that. Wherever I went, the venue ordered the books and took care of the sales, including the sales tax, so I never handled any cash. I never filed anything with the tax office because, you know, there wasn't anything to file. I had no idea that I was still meant to file every quarter, even if the amount I'd earned was $0. So...7 years later...I get hit with a $45,000 bill. They'd packed all kinds of penalties and crap on it. Put a lien on our property. I set up payments with the office, paying something like $100 a month, but they kept adding more and more to it. I finally got through to someone back in September and was like, "I don't think I even OWE this." Turns out I didn't. In total, I only wound up owing $600-which I'd paid off a year before. The guy readjusted the amount, gave me a $0 balance, and closed the tax number for me since I'd never used it. The lien is still showing, however. I'm still fighting to get it taken off.

Mine still shows as a lien and not only was I set up with payments with them, but I actually paid the whole thing off more than a year ago. The lien has existed there in theory (on paper) but it didn't affect my passport, didn't garnish anything from my bank account, etc. because I was in repayment. What it did do was screw my credit. I've spent the past few weeks going around and around in circles with IRS customer service, trying to talk to someone about getting it lifted period, especially since I no longer owe it. 

Not defending Amber. I'm onboard with the fact that she's a piece of shit and that she, who can bankroll a stranger but can't be bothered to take financial responsibility for her child, has probably let it slide because I can't see her taking the initiative to get this worked out. 

I understand what you are conveying, but I think going by Amber's history, it is a safe bet she isn't set up on any payment plan. She has failed to pay her rent, her lease, she doesn't own cars, she likely has no credit, she doesn't own her own home, she is behind on child support, she had to be court-ordered to set up a trust fund for Leah in the amount of $10k. She couldn't bother to set that up on her own for her own child.

Quote

you’d think someone intelligent with her best interests in mind would tell her “Pay the IRS and stay current with child support otherwise you could potentially be BACK in prison for failure to pay once this show ends.”

@Calm81 we don't know if her brother has told her. We all thought he never said anything to her about Matt only to find out in the first episode of this new season that Shawn did tell Amber about his concerns regarding Matt and his skeevy con-man ways. He asked her why is it she didn't listen to him back when he was warning her. Even Amber's mom was saying some things about Matt to Amber at the eyelash salon. Amber shut her down quick. I get the feeling the family does speak up from time to time, but whether Amber allows them to speak is a different story. She is quick to get defensive and cuts people off any time they speak the truth to her. We saw how quick she was to snap at Gary by telling him he was making her angry for not wanting her to drop her butt at his place so she can pretend to care about visiting with Leah.

I thought I'd been fairly clear about that in my post, that I didn't doubt it. I was just wondering if I'd missed a post or a story somewhere along the way that said it for sure. I am certainly not defending Amber or insinuating that she does not have lien, but in following so many shows and "stars" I often miss things along the way.

Oh, I see. 

There has been no confirmation from a reputable source.  Unless @druzy can come up with something. She has skills. : )

Amber had 14 tax warrants, one of which is still outstanding. Click on the image to enlarge.

@GreatKazu It is a little over 26k. Where did you get your math skills, Kumon?  I am only kidding it is a running joke in our household since our son went there for help with his math. LOL Honestly, I agree with most of your comments.

If some of you don’t want to click on the reddit link and search for the “friend” of Andrews post here are some screen shots before they get deleted as the “friend” said he was embarrassed about posting the post and was going to delete in a few hours.

Regarding that friend of Baby Huey: "The biggest thing that he has hanging over him was the death of his father...His father was a huge figure in his life..."

Yeah, I am sure daddy was his financial support system and enabler much like Larry is to Ryan. 

As for the idea that Baby Huey is safe around children, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE with that bullshit. If anyone is an addict and they have had restraining orders put out on them due to domestic violence and threats, they are definitely a threat to children.

Yeah, let’s have the guy described as “Nihilistic” and who shared a fist-sized crystal of MDMA share a bed with Bew Bew. 

I’m so curious as to what type of car he’ll buy/lease with Amber’s money. I think the RV is a rental.  He will go for something whimsical because he’s an artist.

Should we take shots every time Baby Huey mentions "Malibu"? 

The thing about the water in Malibu is, there can be a lot of seaweed at times. I suppose if Amber's eye color reminds him of the Malibu ocean, he is referring to her dilated pupils which resemble those large, dark patches of seaweed.

THANK YOU! Jesus. The Pacific on the west coast that I know isn't a beautiful shade of blue like the fucking mediterranean. If someone told my my eyes were the same color as the water in Malibu I'd give them the side eye. Hard. It sounds like a backhanded compliment.

Just saw a clip of this guy's introduction. Couldn't he get up off the couch when the MTV people came in ? They are a match. And, he had quite the shit eating grin when Amber mentioned a background check. I don't get to see episodes, but that short clip did NOT give me a feeling of way to go Amber, you have a good one this time! 

[Calm81]

Amber’s got some volcanic size cojones for “liking” a comment like this. Kristina has been the co-primary caregiver (Her and Gary work great as a team) to Leah for years and this is the thanks she gets?!?!

First of all Amber, there is nothing wrong with a mother having every other weekend and afternoon visitation since many Dads have that same custody plan when the mother has primary custody. No double standards. Regardless, she sees her oldest daughter at least 5x a week and 7x a week when the weekends are factored in while having YOUR precious BewBew FULL-TIME!!!!!!!!! 

Here’s the thing also, when she’s not with her older daughter she’s not getting a parental break to go off On vacations with new boyfriends and lounging in bed all day on Twitter she’s with her OTHER TWO DAUGHTERS!!! The girl doesn’t get any breaks from being a mom. You DO!

And you don’t even take advantage of your custody time ...2x in an entire summer vacation?!?! That would have been a perfect opportunity for you to take her to Hawaii with you, you know the place you took Andrew this summer while you were soooooooo depressed?!? ??

I still remember that time when Kristina’s daughter was in the hospital and how tired, exhausted, and heartbroken Kristina looked while STILL taking the time from staying hours at the hospital by her daughters side with hardly any sleep to go pick up Leah from Ambers house. Amber couldn’t even bother to offer to come to kristinas house and help her get caught up on laundry or to take Leah home for Kristina to save her the drive...instead Amber gets all pissy that Leah wouldn’t say “I love you back” when Amber repeated it to Leah. I will try and find the clip to that scene.

Kristina was so depressed during that time, naturally when your child is sick in the hospital but did she use that as an excuse to stop parenting baby Emilee and her STEP-DAUGHTER? No! She kept a strong front for her children and kept on going. I normally don’t get this heated over these people but my heart hurt a little seeing that bitch “like” a nasty comment like that about such a sweet lady instead of DEFENDING the woman who has treated her daughter like she were her own ...something many of us mothers would hope for if we were to become divorced from our child’s father. Kristina didn’t deserve that comment!!! I’m sorry I’m ranting. I don’t like to see good people talked about like that. I see so much kindness, GENUINE kindness in the way Kristina speaks to Leah and to everyone else.

I am glad Teen Mom Truths called Amber out on liking it.

 

ETA: You know what Amber? This shows exactly why you have no class. How about responding to the comment with something like, I am so grateful to Kristina for being there for Leah when I am not able to (snort)? How about pointing out that it's never a bad thing having extra people who love and support your child? But no, you are grateful for even the most illogical slight against Kristina because it makes you feel like less of a piece of shit (it shouldn't- rest assured, you are very much a piece of shit). You are nothing but a trashy, selfish lazy waste of space.

 

ETA again: My cousin was blindsided several years ago when her husband asked her for a divorce and then promptly married someone literally half her age. My second cousin's stepmother is like, 8 years older than he is (ok, she's actually 11 years older than him). However, the second wife has always been really good to her stepson, and is actually far more nurturing to him than his worthless father is, and pressures the father to be better to his son. My cousin could look to find fault with her replacement, and be bitter, but she's actually really grateful that her ex's new wife cares so much for her son. Because that's what a decent, classy person does, Amber, not that you'd know anything about that.

It sounds like Kristina’s daughter is there every day after school and every other weekend. That’s far more parenting than Amber’s 2 visitations a season. 

[Emkat]

Totally being nosy here but does anyone know if Kristinas older daughter has special needs? Just wondering if there is an underlying issue that had her so sick in the hospital.

[ghoulina]

Yea, there's a lot to be curious about in regards to Kristina and her daughter. But I really respect that they don't show her on TV and rarely talk about her.

Yes! If he wanted to compare her blue eyes to blue waters, perhaps comparing them to the waters off of Big Sur (up the coast of Highway 1) or the Bahamas.

I was going to comment 'THEY'RE CALLED CLOGS, AMBER' but she has disabled comments. Probably because she knows they're not called 'those wooden shoes' but is too lazy to Google it, despite her phone being permanently attached to her hand.

 I kind of assumed it was a rental. Maci does the same thing, though, and so do some of the other girls. It's actually in most of the reality show participants contracts that they don't have anything on the walls. When we filmed, we had to remove any posters/prints/etc because of it. But then, we only filmed for 3 days. For someone filming so often I would have to find some other form of decoration. I couldn't leave it so bare.
