Her time on television, however, represented only one chapter of her life.
Behind the reality-TV fame, Amber later endured an enormous personal tragedy.
In 2018, her 18-year-old daughter Lexi died in Ohio in what authorities investigated as an apparent suicide.
The loss was especially heartbreaking for longtime viewers who remembered how frequently Amber had spoken about her daughter during her time inside the *Big Brother* house.
Amber’s later years also included legal difficulties.
According to court records reported by TMZ, she pleaded guilty in 2020 to attempting to resist an officer with a dangerous weapon after prosecutors alleged that she attempted to drive away while a Henderson, Nevada, police officer was partially inside her vehicle.
She received a suspended prison sentence of 19 to 48 months and up to four years of probation.
The court also ordered substance-abuse and mental-health evaluations.
That same year, Amber pleaded guilty to felony forgery involving Western Union money orders.
