During last night's episode of Teen Mom OG, Gary and Amber butted heads as the devoted claimed Amber never wanted to meet him in the middle to spend time with Leah.
As they spoke on the phone, the mom of two told her ex: "I'm not getting my one-on-one."
Gary quickly quipped back and said: "You know, you don't like going out of the house. You don't like to go out to eat."
To which Amber explained that she became a "hermit" because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Gary then hit back once more and said: "It's not about your drama or my drama, it's about Leah."
After Amber hung up on him, Gary went to his wife to explain the current situation with Leah's mom.
He told her: "Today I spoke with Amber and she said 'You and Kristina hinder my relationship with my daughter.'
"It's like all of a sudden, you want to do stuff with Leah. It's all of a sudden. After how long, you know?"
Kristina, undestanding the situation, added: "It's like Leah wants to give up but you are the one encouraging it. And I support that. I also want her to have a relationship with her mom but I also want Amber to follow through and put Leah for once first.
"Leah is hurt and it all stems from the past. It stems from, you know, her going to prison, getting out of prison and she got with Matt and she pushed Leah to the side. Then comes back to Leah and gets with Andrew and then pushes Leah to the side, like."
Gary then explained that he has a problem with Amber gunning for Kristina, who has been Leah's mother figure.
"She wasn't there as a mom and now it's somebody else's fault," he said.
Kristina agreed and said: "She feels threatened. I've never been there to step on her toes, I've never been there to replace her. I wish she was a little more respectful and grateful for what you do for Leah. Even what I do. Yesterday, I took her and got her a flu shot. Today I took her to the dentist. Amber don't do those things.
"She can bad-mouth me all she wants but I guess I can sleep at night knowing that I've done good by Leah and if it wasn't for me, Leah wouldn't have a mom still in her life. Think about this, how long did it take Leah to talk to her? 12 years to talk to her own other about how she was feeling, to get it off her chest.
"It took her 12 years! I'm over it," she said as she began to tear up and Gary thanked her for being a good role model for his daughter.
"I just feel Leah feeling abandoned and whatever she feels. No 12-year-old should ever feel like that."
Amber, Gary, and Kristina have been feuding for months now and most recently, the 16 & Pregnant star slammed her ex's wife as an "opportunist."
"I have one question for [Kristina]," the Teen Mom OG star began. "How does it feel knowing she doesn't have joint custody over her daughter the same as me because she chose this life over her?
"She has no excuse for that! Not one thing. She should be ashamed to even act like she's a great mother.
"She has no pictures of her own daughter on her Instagram. Honestly it's sad. And I feel for her."
Amber, who served 17 months in prison following an arrest for prescription drug possession in 2012, went on to defend her parenting skills.
"People come at me like I'm a mess when I've been keeping a lot of secrets from people," she added. "Yes I made mistakes but I have changed for the better.
"[Kristina] isn't a bonus mom she's an opportunist who cries if Gary doesn't buy her a coach bag… truth… and it's sad she chose this over HER family. She got scared because me and Leah were hanging out more.
"Sorry I made a mistake in the past with people however we all know what was really going on when she cheated on her husband."
Amber then continued to slam her ex's wife, accusing Kristina of using photos of her and 12-year-old Leah together "for clicks".
"She's an opportunist who puts pictures of my daughter on her Instagram for clicks," the reality star concluded.
"I feel bad for her personally. People can take this how they want. It is the truth. I said my piece and I am at peace with this personally."
It comes days after Amber lost her temper in a furious Instagram Live rant, where she dubbed Kristina a "homewrecking w***e" and a "liar."
The rant was in response to scenes from the latest episode of Teen Mom OG last week, where daughter Leah said she doesn't have a "bond" with birth mom Amber.
The 12-year-old said Kristina is the one who looks after her and added that all Amber did was "give birth" to her.
Several hours later, Amber took to Instagram to slam Kristina for telling "lies" to her daughter and claim that she "spoils" Leah.
"When you're a w***e, you're a w***e. When you're a homewrecker, you're a homewrecker," the MTV star said. "When you're a liar, you're a liar."
Amber reflected on claims that she was being "cheated on" while in prison, as Gary began dating Kristina before the pair formally separated.
"I'm not jealous of Kristina, there is nothing about Kristina that even makes me jealous in any sense," Amber continued to lash out. "I don't try to be mean, I'm just telling the truth."
The reality star then moved onto Leah's relationship with Kristina, saying their close bond was because of the "thousands of dollars of clothing" her rival spends on her daughter.
"I was raised to not spoil my child," Amber said. "Leah wanted to live with me until they went to Disney World. But I don't spoil Leah.
"Children need love. I give plenty of love to my children. I know how my daughter really feels. I've talked to her a couple of times without cameras."
In tense scenes on Teen Mom last week, Leah said she didn't want to invite Amber to her birthday party – despite dad Gary's pleas to include her.
“We don’t really have a bond like that. Twelve years and she hasn’t really done anything. That’s kind of been like Kristina’s spot," she said.
Amber previously called Gary and Kristina "two-faced liars" after they appeared to mock her in a Teen Mom OG episode.
In the episode, Gary said he always has to go to Amber's house to fix things for her and even does her grocery shopping.
Amber retaliated saying: "Gary did say that he was here every day for a week. No, sweetheart. That's a lie. And you're two-faced. And your wife's two-faced- saying that I'm like a teenager, like a teenage daughter.
"Well, how did that $7,500 feel guys that wasn't child support? Oh? Well, how did that $500 when you cleaned my house because you said you needed a job, Kristina?"
Amber was arrested and charged with felony domestic battery in 2019 after an alleged fight with her ex, Andrew Glennon.
Andrew filed for primary custody of their two-year-old son, James, after the arrest. She remains on probation.
Amber has admitted the arrangement has left her “hurt”, and she feels she has “lost so much time."
She also recently disclosed that she has been living in Airbnb rental homes for two years following her split from Andrew.
