It's been a particularly bad week for Matt Baier's public image, which is surprising, as his reputation has been about on par with that of Chris Brown mixed with a leaking bag of garbage for as long as he's been in the spotlight.
Still, Amber Portwood's fiance found a way to sink lower this week.
You almost have to admire him, but then you remember that no one should ever admire him for any reason.
It all started when Baier's estranged son called him "the ultimate con artist" in a scathing interview with Radar Online.
Chris Baier, 26, says that Amber and the average Teen Mom viewer are clueless as to the depths of his father's shadiness, and to prove it, he offered up a seriously disturbing example.
Chris says that he's struggled with drug addiction throughout his adult life, and that his father co-opted his story in order to help him win over Amber Portwood (a recovering addict herself) and appear more sympathetic to MTV audiences:
"He asked me to tell him all about my problems with drugs. When I saw him on MTV, he was talking about all of my drug problems that I told him about, and made believe they were his problems,"
"The truth of the matter is, he's an evil, evil man, and when he did evil things, he was stone cold sober." Chris says.
"All he does is use people and hurt them. He's a horrible, nasty person, the ultimate con artist."
Harsh words to say the least.
Not surprisingly, Matt says his son's story is utter nonsense.
"What actually happened is he was contacted by the press numerous times in the last six moths or so and offered money to say bad things about me," Matt says.
"It's important to note my son has a bad drug addiction, and he was completely strung out when he started talking about six months ago.
"He was in trouble with the law and in between places to live. When you're offered an amount of money by anybody when you're in that situation it's really tough to turn down."
But as the saying goes, there are three sides to every story: Matt Baier's version, and the versions of the two people who say he's lying.
The Ashley's Reality Roundup spoke with the journalist who interviewed Chris Baier, and she claims that Matt's explanation for his son's comments makes zero sense:
"Chris hasn't used in years!" Radar Online's Donna Thomas says of Matt's allegations.
"He wasn't paid a dime, and wasn't looking for money, he's a really nice kid…He's had some issues with drugs, but it's the past, he has a good job, and a girlfriend and he's on the right track, he doesn't want Matt to destroy anyone else, that's all!"
So yes, yet again Matt comes off looking incredibly shady.
The situation has left many wondering if Amber and Matt will still get married, and the answer is yes.
Yes they will, because Amber has learned to turn a blind eye to her fiance's true nature.
