While Teen Mom star Amber Portwood recovered in the hospital from Tuesday’s suicide attempt, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned her baby daddy Gary Shirley threw a BBQ.
According to a well-placed source, instead of showing support bedside by the mother of his child, Shirley had a gathering of close friends over to his house for a cookout.
“Gary seems to be doing okay. He had a cookout at his house last night with a bunch of his good friends,” the source said.
“He’s concerned for Amber, but he has custody of Leah right now, and she’s his priority.”
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, police were called to Portwood’s Anderson, Indiana home after a 911 call was placed saying she was depressed and threatening to end her life.
She was transported to St. Johns Hospital in Anderson, Indiana where Shirley visited her for five minutes.
“Everyone agreed it’d been a crazy day and he just wanted to have a relaxing night with friends,” the source said.
