AMBER ARREST| Amber Big SCAM Brice Bolden | Liz Shocked | Anna Johnston | 7 Little Johnstons
The latest season of Seven Little Johnstons has sparked heated debates among fans, with Amber Johnston at the center of criticism for her treatment of Bryce Balden, Liz Johnston’s long-term partner and the father of their child, baby Leighton. Amber’s behavior, perceived by many as controlling and dismissive, has led to backlash from viewers who feel Bryce is not being treated as a valued member of the family.
Fans Accuse Amber of Excluding Bryce
Amber Johnston has long been known for her assertive nature, but fans are now questioning whether her actions have crossed the line. Observant viewers have pointed out that Amber often excludes Bryce from family discussions and public acknowledgments. For instance, on a family message board, a fan remarked, “Has anyone else noticed that Amber rarely mentions Bryce when she talks about the family? It’s like he doesn’t exist, even though he’s been with Liz for years.”
Some fans even claim Amber sees Bryce as more of a “narrative tool” for the show rather than a genuine family member. Another commenter added, “She treats him like a pawn to fit her agenda. It’s disheartening to see.”
Is Amber Controlling TLC Money?
The debate has extended to finances, with many speculating about Bryce’s earnings from the show. Since the birth of baby Leighton, Bryce has been featured more prominently on Seven Little Johnstons, and fans are questioning if he’s being fairly compensated—or if Amber and Liz are taking control of his paycheck.
One fan wrote, “Does Bryce even see the money he earns, or does Amber keep it for herself? If so, that’s just unfair.” Others chimed in with concerns about transparency regarding how TLC distributes the earnings among the cast members.
Bryce’s Social Media Silence
Adding fuel to the fire, fans noticed Bryce recently restricted comments on his social media posts—a move many attribute to Amber’s influence. Speculation suggests Amber might have pressured Bryce to follow the family’s lead in managing online criticism, particularly as tensions with Anna Johnston, another family member, have been playing out publicly.
One fan stated, “It feels like Amber is forcing Bryce to comply with her rules, even on social media. He’s being micromanaged.” Others believe Bryce’s restricted comments reflect solidarity with Liz and the rest of the family amidst ongoing drama.
Fans Divided
While many fans criticize Amber for her treatment of Bryce, others defend her actions as a protective mother ensuring her family’s well-being. Still, the accusations of manipulation and financial control continue to circulate, leaving fans divided over the family dynamic.
What’s Next for Bryce and the Johnstons?
As Seven Little Johnstons continues, fans remain eager to see how Bryce’s role in the family evolves. Will he gain more independence, or will Amber’s influence persist? Only time will tell.
