Amber Portwood reveals shocking reason for Gary Wayt's disappearance and end of engagement

At the season finale of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter On Thursday, Amber will be picked up by MTV production teams after long-time friend and fellow actress Maci book release She drives from the hotel in North Carolina where Amber and Gary were staying when her then partner disappeared to Tennessee.

“So what happened?” asks show producer Larry.

“I guess his dad read my Wikipedia,” Amber says before a screenshot of the MTV star's sordid past flashes across the screen, highlighting her run-ins with the law and her abusive past with ex. Gary Shirleywith whom she has a 15-year-old daughter, Leah.

“I think he accepted that maybe he heard from his family or something and didn't tell me,” she continues. “I just said, 'I can't do that. How can we get married if your family doesn't accept me?' And maybe he took that as me breaking up with him. It seemed to me like maybe he was upset and hopeless.”

Amber burst into tears and was given a glimmer of hope when she received a call from her manager telling her that TMZ had called and said Gary had been found.

“He did?!” Amber exclaims, before learning that Gary told the outlet that he was alive and well. “Are you serious?”

“He is no longer reported missing,” says Amber’s manager.

The longtime television personality seems relieved to hear the news, while her manager tries to find out more information about Gary's whereabouts.

“So he was able to contact the police. Did he send you messages?” asks Larry.

“No,” Amber replies. “It's a little warning sign,” Larry replies.

In fact, this is a red flag because Gary's lack of contact is a sign of what is to come, but not without waiting for OG Gary's reaction first.

The cameras focus on his house, where he sits with his wife Kristina and they read the headlines about Amber and Gary.

“I have to feel a little sorry for her,” Gary admits. “But I don't feel sorry for you because you can't see your child.”

“That's another thing. I wish Amber would realize: Men come and go. Friends come and go. But the ones that stay are your children,” Kristina adds.

After Gary's disappearance, Amber goes to her psychiatrist to process what happened – admittedly in a somewhat manic state – while struggling to make it to the appointment after unloading her trauma on her Uber driver.

“This man just broke me,” she says tearfully as her friend, riding in another car, tries to get her out of the car.

“I was stable. And now, this is the first time in years of my life – I'm 34 – that I'm not fucking right because a man put a ring on my finger,” Amber continues. “You broke me because we really loved each other. The day that man left, for no reason. And I say for no reason because there was no fucking reason and he ruined something so fucking good. I'm fucking broken right now.”

Amber says she was bombarded with hate and online trolls amid Gary's disappearanceShe blamed the media for portraying her in a negative light and even accused them of “killing” Gary after her disappearance.

“Do you know how it feels when people call you a murderer to your fucking fiancé?” Amber screams. “Do you know how that fucking fiancé feels? He doesn't know what he did! They called me a murderer and said I fucking killed him!”

When she manages to reach her psychiatrist's door, Amber makes it clear that she was in a bad situation. She points out that despite the traumatic relationships she had experienced in the past with her ex-boyfriends Andrew and Matt, no one had “broken” her as much as Gary.

“If you want to show what heartbreak is, this is it,” says Amber. “It's not just about a man. We had something better than either of us had experienced in our lives with other people. He saw my family, my daughter, and just wanted to be one big, happy family.”

“It is definitely a loss,” her psychiatrist replies.

Amber and Gary subsequently called off their engagement. In this episode, Amber revealed the reason for his disappearance for the first time since their split in June.
