EXCLUSIVE: Man Who Dated Teen Mom Amber Portwood Falsely Identified As Sex Offender
Oct. 8 2010, Published 5:33 a.m. ET
The man who Amber Portwood dated on a recent episode of MTV's Teen Mom is NOT a registered sex offender, despite widespread news reports claiming he is, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting exclusively.
In Tuesday's episode, Amber's date was identified only as "Chris". Several media outlets then reported that "Chris" was in fact Christopher Glen Hossman, 27, a registered sex offender in Madison County, Indiana.
But Breaking Celebrity News has confirmed with multiple sources that Amber's date was not Hossman. One of those sources is Hossman's on-again, off-again girlfriend who told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview that she watched Teen Mom, saw the episode in question, and that Amber's date was definitely not Hossman.
The girlfriend did not want her last name used in this story and only wanted to be identified as “Brenda,” but she also told Breaking Celebrity News that Hossman is now going to consult a lawyer over the case of mistaken identity.
His girlfriend told Breaking Celebrity News: “I watch Teen Mom and I knew that it was not my boyfriend.
“He only has one tattoo on his upper left arm with the letters ‘CJH’ whereas the guy on the show with Amber had other tattoos – I knew straight away it was not him it is just ridiculous to say it was.”
The man who Portwood dated on the show has not been correctly identified but is NOT a sex offender.
An avalanche of media reports began late Thursday claiming that Amber’s date was Hossman and noting that Hossman is a convicted sex offender.
