Simon Saran Slams Co-Star Amber Portwood’s Domestic Violence Claims, Encourages Victims to Speak Up
Drama alert!
Teen Mom OG star Simon Saran took to social media Wednesday night to slam co-star Amber Portwood's domestic violence claims.
The 28-year-old — who has been on-again-off-again with Farrah Abraham, 26 — encouraged his 61,000 Instagram followers and 38,000 Twitter followers to ignore that "bimbo" — referring to Amber.
He captioned the photo, "I know a majority of my followers are from the show, but ladies and gents, don't ever keep domestic violence on the hush. You can save someone's life later down the road. Majority of these cast members are airheads. Clearly they have a huge following and fans will do whatever they say. Be smart and think with your head!"

The reality star also encouraged his followers to not be silent when it comes to domestic violence, and people had a lot to say in the comments.
One fan said, "Yes you are so right. Thanks for speaking about this," while another chimed in saying, "The message about domestic violence is good. Where you went wrong was using it as an excuse to take a shot at someone. Standing up for women, but insulting one you don't like? Doh! Fail."
Earlier this week, Amber went on a NSFW Instagram Live rant, revealing that not only was she an aggressor of domestic violence, but she’s also been a victim of it too.
“I’ve been through domestic violence, I was the one on the other end with the domestic violence — it went both ways. However, I never opened up my mother f–king mouth about anybody ever f–king hitting me — because that’s what a real woman does.”
Regardless of what Simon says about Amber, though, bringing awareness to domestic abuse is never a bad thing. And for that, we have to give him some credit.
