[James and Amber] are in constant communication, daily Facetiming and lots of calls.
Glennon also defended Portwood against claims that Shirley has lobbied against her in the press.
“I regularly witnessed Amber paying throughout our relationship.
Oftentimes, I would go with her to hand-deliver the funds.”
Shirley claims that it has been years since she paid, according to a source that spoke withUs Weekly.
Because their relationship was so long ago, Gary and Amber never set up formal protocols for payments.
