'Teen Mom' Star Matt Baier's Shadiest Moments
Teen Mom OG star Amber Portwood's fiancé Matt Baier is, um ... an interesting dude. All the stories that have come out about him have been kind of wild. While of course we can't know the exact truth about every single thing, we can still take a look at all the news and decide for ourselves how side-eye worthy it is.
Read on for 15 times Matt had us side-eyeing...
Hitting on Farrah & Jenelle
When Matt first met Amber, he told her he didn't know anything about Teen Mom OG. And yet, in 2016, old tweets resurfaced from a couple years earlier that showed Matt trying to flirt with Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans. Hmmmmm.
Vile Tweets
Before dating Amber, Matt sure did enjoy saying horribly rude things about some of the other Teen Mom gals on Twitter. He went after Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans particularly. Some choice tweets? "What was the topic of Kailyn's book? How to bang ugly dudes, cheat in a shower and have my face always look like I'm allergic to shellfish?" Classy.
All Those Kids
Remember the episode of Teen Mom OG where Gary confronted Amber about all of Matt's secret kids and his open child support cases? Yeah, that was a doozy. The number of kids he has fathered has been a subject of speculation for a while now.

Warnings From an Ex
One of Matt's exes spoke to Radar Online and tried to warn Amber about getting out of the relationship, saying such things as, "I personally feel that he is still continuing his behavior of conning, manipulating, and lying his way through life. He has been searching for that pot of gold and I believe he probably thinks he has found it with you." Yikes!
Abandoning His Pregnant GF?
Another of Matt's exes spoke to The Ashley, saying he left her a month after she became pregnant with his child. She also said that his speech to Amber before they got engaged (which was shown in an episode of Teen Mom OG) was almost exactly the same as the speech he gave her when he asked her to marry him. "My advice to Amber would be to RUN!" she said.
Work Lies
Matt wrote a book under the name Grey Baker in 2008, claiming in his author bio that he was the VP of Safety Zone Advocacy, an organization that helps child victims of sexual predators. The only problem? Yeah, Safety Zone Advocacy's founder told Radar she'd never worked with Matt. Mmm-hmm.

The Brawl
Who could forget the epic brawl during the Teen Mom OG reunion show? Matt got into a physical fight with Farrah's dad Michael, and Michael later told Radar, "I'm still under treatment and on worker's comp. I'm a disabled vet, he destroyed my hearing aid. Matt didn't know the can of worms he opened when he hit me."
Nasty Comments
Matt said some pretty nasty stuff on an episode of Teen Mom OG when they were in Vegas and Amber said she didn't want to get married without Leah there. He told a producer that Amber was a "f-ing psycho ass" and that he would fake for the cameras if he had to. Amber's response -- in the tweet pictured here -- seems to indicate she moved past this. Matt later claimed a relapse into his pill addiction caused this behavior, and that he'd blacked out and doesn't remember saying those things.
Cheating on Amber?
Apparently Matt is said to have failed a lie detector test when he was asked about whether he'd cheated on Amber. Not a good look, dude.

Lying About Addiction?
One of Matt's exes claims that he lied about being a former drug addict in order to get closer to Amber. One of Matt's sons also claims this as well, telling Radar, "He asked me to tell him all about my problems with drugs. When I saw him on MTV, he was talking about all of my drug problems that I told him about, and made believe they were his problems. The truth of the matter is, he's an evil, evil man, and when he did evil things, he was stone cold sober." Well, damn!
Serious Accusations
In 2016, Radar obtained court documents that show Matt was accused of sexual assault in 2014, and a protective order was issued against him.
Possible Sex Tape
Apparently Amber and Matt have been in talks about putting out a sex tape. Hmmm. That's probably not the best thing for either of them...

Age Gap
With almost 20 years between them, Matt and Amber are certainly a May-December romance. Or maybe more like April-December? It's a pretty huge gap!

That Cover Though
Have you seen the cover of Matt's tell-all book? Because, yeah ... We'll just leave it at that.
Not Supportive
On an episode of Teen Mom OG, Matt accused Amber of spending too much time working on her clothing and makeup line. As if that's not enough to side-eye, he interrupted a business call of hers, to which she responded, "Excuse you. I do things and I move forward in life. Let me do what I do with people that I know and let's move forward and have a happy life."
