Teen Mom star Amber Portwood got a huge wakeup call recently on the hit reality series when baby daddy Gary Shirley brought to her attention that her fiancé Matt Baier may have fathered at least seven children after discovering child support cases against him. Now, a friend from his past has come forward to warn the MTV mom before she walks down the aisle to marry him.
In an interview with Radar Online, Judy Cornett said she met Matt after he reached out to her when he saw her on The Oprah Winfrey Show advocating for her non-profit organization Safety Zone Advocacy. The two traveled together, but according to her, nothing intimate happened between them.
The downfall of their relationship occurred when she was paid for a TV appearance, but the money she had gotten for it disappeared. After she confronted him about it she said, "He went to the front porch and made a series of phone calls, and managed to have enough people wire me the money. It was about $1,500."
"I made him get in a cab and leave," she remembered. "I never saw him again."

The non-profit advocate then went on to detail why she decided to warn the reality star now, especially after seeing the persona Matt was showing on television.
"Please understand that this is not a personal vendetta against Matt and I am not trying to create any problems for your TV show. I'm a mother and I also care for you and your sobriety," Judy told Radar. "I am fearful that Matt has not changed. 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."
"Please look at the big picture and make the best decision for you and your child," she continued. "Which would be to get out of it now, before there's no turning back."
A source close to Matt denied the allegations to Radar.
Fans on Twitter posted their support for the reality mom, which she retweeted:
