'My Heart Breaks For The Kids': How Gary Reacted To Amber’s Teen Mom OG Arrest

because the Teen Mom OG finale filmed in early July, Amber was arrested soon after Andrew texted 911 saying his life was in danger, and also the life of his son James. Soon following the arrest, MTV cameras caught up with Leah’s dad and stepmom, Gary and Kristina, amid all of the headlines.


First things first: Gary mentioned that Leah was with a friend and not present any time the scenario occurred. He then admitted he didn’t know the whole story.


“He’s saying one thing; she’s saying one thing. A hit is a hit whether you do it with a flip-flop or a hammer. No one should ever put their hands on anyone. This has an impact on all of us...It trickles down to us too.”


Kristina agreed and worried about how they’d right now co-parent with Amber “with the legal issues involved." The couple also spoke the impact the arrest will have on Leah and one-year-old James.


“My heart breaks for the kids,” Gary added. “I went through this with her; Leah went through this with her. And right now it sounds to me like James is going to have to go through this.”


Kristina also mentioned that Leah feared for her little brother.


“Leah is essentially 11 -- she is aware a lot of what’s going on. The thing she mentioned to me was, ‘If Mommy goes back to prison, what will happen to James? Will James be taken away from me as well?’ And I don’t have those answers… she deserves to be a kid, and these are adult situations.”
