Amber is truly an ignorant young woman and it frightens me that she has a child and yes she should be locked up. But noone has said anything to commend Gary here so I will.<br /><br />Gary is a dumb shit pot stirer. However he was raised right. He was taught not to hit a girl even if she hits him first. How he controlled himself is beyond me. My hat is off to him.<br /><br />I grew up being taught that a boy/man should never hit a girl/woman. The flip side of that coin that my dad always told me was "Debra if you ball up your fist and hit a man like you are a man, don't come crying to me if he beats the shit out of you, you deserve it!" I totally agree with that if you hit you deserve to be hit back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839901864916285975.post-90369659850062152312010-10-06T06:38:28.314-07:002010-10-06T06:38:28.314-07:00I did see yesterday where they have been investiga...I did see yesterday where they have been investigated after so many people reported her. Unfortunately, they can't use the tapings of the show as evidence because the date can be altered. Child Protective Services were also called but would not comment because of privacy.Amy J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16587211566041286571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839901864916285975.post-28393409372851011002010-10-05T20:38:45.869-07:002010-10-05T20:38:45.869-07:00I dont think she needs to be locked up--she needs ...I dont think she needs to be locked up--she needs to be taught a different way, and given other outlets for dealing with whatever is setting her off. Dollars to donuts, she had this behavior modeled for her and does not see any other way to do things.<br /><br />Teach her and break the cycle.<br /><br />And I totally agree---if it was him beating her, no way it would be on TVPaigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552625379617724485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839901864916285975.post-63293075146199832122010-10-05T16:28:33.065-07:002010-10-05T16:28:33.065-07:00Yes, one more reason to avoid TV.

Things like this hurt my heart.

Everytime I watch it I'm amazed that it continues to go on and also that he hasn't gotten some chick to take her down a notch.

It is actually illegal for a woman to hit a man let alone beat the crap out of him. With all this on tv in front of God and everyone, why isn't she getting arrested? <br /><br />Something is wrong here.Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228535605250335085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839901864916285975.post-26607807735227455502010-10-05T10:30:52.087-07:002010-10-05T10:30:52.087-07:00I'm so humiliated.

In fact, it's my husband's hometown, and my son would probably claim it as his as well, since he lived there until age 14.<br /><br />What a terrible picture to paint of our little town.<br /><br />But yes, I agree with you that simply because Gary is a man, doesn't make this any less a case of domestic violence. And I agree that MTV should be ashamed.<br /><br />If we women want the stereotypes that hurt us to stop, we've got to stop condoning the ones that hurt our male counterparts.Christina Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940473588497266871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839901864916285975.post-23454610812949842252010-10-05T09:59:46.439-07:002010-10-05T09:59:46.439-07:00I watch this show.

And Gary asking her about whether she is taking her medication. It's scary. I thought perhaps that MTV was trying to say it wasn't ok with the couple of PSA's about domestic violence but they have not done enough. I do need to seriously think about whether my girls should continue to watch- although I almost feel they should. We discuss what's happening and why its wrong, what both Amber & Gary should do. I dont know if that't the right approach.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669361388995301778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839901864916285975.post-11092738914955751772010-10-05T07:56:00.043-07:002010-10-05T07:56:00.043-07:00I was going to ask you if you knew it was domestic...I was going to ask you if you knew it was domestic violence awareness month, but someone beat me to it :) perfect post showing how it's not a woman's issue, men get beat up and pushed around as well, and I agree with you<br />it is still SO VERY WRONG and I hope that she gets help as well.diane renehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278917038491110157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839901864916285975.post-60265906805114246732010-10-05T07:10:00.710-07:002010-10-05T07:10:00.710-07:00Another reason I'm glad I don't watch TV o...Another reason I'm glad I don't watch TV outside of BL and the Food Network (I know they kind of cancel each other out).
