Is MTV To Blame For Amber's Drug Use?

Evan Broderick (Amber's attorney) stated that Amber said she was prepared to go to prison, and do her time. Amber says she first started using drugs when she was 12 or 13 years old but when she began being exposed on Teen Mom, her temptations increased.

Broderick said before the show began shooting, Amber flew out to California to meet with producers. Drugs were readily available, and Amber and other members of the show attended several parties together. While in drug court, Amber achieved her longest period of sobriety, two and a half months. She started using again when she had to have her gallstones removed and was prescribed hydrocodone, the drug she was addicted to.

Looking back now, Amber states she wished she would have never been on 16 and Pregnant or Teen Mom.
