Kim Kardashian accused shows like MTV’s “Teen Mom” of the increasing number of teens getting pregnant, saying these girls are not role models. “Teen Mom” star Amber Portwood is now fighting back, saying Kim should know her place.
The socialite was recently on The Today show to promote the latest season of her reality show, which is also when she learned of the case of a high school in Memphis where 90 girls had become pregnant or moms in the past year.

Completely ignoring the fact that statistics show that, overall in the US the rate of teen pregnancies is on the decline, Kim went to her official blog and her Twitter to urge her fans to look beyond the glamour of these girls / teen moms on TV.
“It seems that shows like Teen Mom are all of a sudden making teen pregnancy seem cool in the eyes of young girls,” she wrote her blog, as per E! Online.
“The kids from these shows are all over the news, even on the covers of magazines, and have been become almost like celebrities, but girls, these are not people you should idolize!” she urged her female fans.
“Having a baby is one of the biggest, and most life-changing decisions a person can make and while I’m not saying that no teen is in the position to raise a child, having a baby so young shouldn’t be seen as the trendy thing to do,” she added.
As expected, Portwood is very upset about the things Kim has to say – because she completely missed the point. If anything, “Teen Mom” sheds some light into how hard it is to be a teen mom and sounds off the alarm, it doesn’t glamorize anything.
Secondly, Portwood says, who’s Kim to be speaking of role models? Is this not the same person that kick-started her career by selling a home made tape that she later claimed it was stolen, she asks. If so, then she has no right to pass judgment.
