The Secret Monster Jam PR Nightmare



A Canadian female motocross rider lands her dream job with Monster Jam, but she’s scrubbed from the website almost as quickly as she arrives and fans are left pondering her sudden disappearance. On a community for monster truck super-fans, an industry photographer reveals she was busted minutes before the start of an event for sneaking cocaine into the arena, but somehow this is only the beginning.

A quick google search of the driver’s name reveals Monster Jam seemingly ignored crowd-sourced red flags dating back to 2011, hiring an unstable woman with a drug problem and a fake motocross career that they then toured around on local news outlets as a strong and empowering female driver.

And there are others supposedly like her.

  1. And that's why, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is 100% necessary to check the background of your Newly hired employees before they sign the dotted line.

  2. i’ve gotta say, personally this video hurts to watch. not because i condone ANYTHING she did, but she seemed like a genuinely alright person. When i met her in 2017 she gave me the zombie flag for being a big fan of her (since one of my favorite trucks is Zombie) and i even got on her socials. But glad this sheds light on this storyline. and awesome video.

  3. Wow MJ can hire addicts but… My song isn’t good enough for them because I’m not family friendly enough 😂. Let’s pray their new artist picks up a substance problem!

  4. Yknow Austin, I don't expect comedy from this channel.
    But that ending.
    Magnificent comedic timing, couldn't have made it any better.

  5. There's a ton of this happening all over motorsports. Attractive girls from a family of money or some level of celebrity are given opportunities way above their talent level. Post hot pics online and a band of loud 12 year old boys will will support u regardless and it gives at least an appearance of credibility.

  6. WOW! I forgot all about her. I haven't followed Monster Jam for a while but I still keep tabs why I don't know? But personally the sport has become absolute garbage since 2014! I'm an old school fan and now-a-days it's just not the same maybe for those who are just starting to get into the sports or have young kids that's great awesome! This story is wild. Thank you for sharing.

  7. I wonder if Amy Houde getting into Monster Jam involved a casting couch at some point. I can totally see FELD doing shit like that behind the scenes, and it'd explain how Amy managed to get into the sport without anyone finding out about her background.

  8. Wow, just….wow. I don't think I'll ever understand how MJ let information like this completely slip under their noses. I'd known about her use of "magic mushrooms" before, but this is just appalling.

  9. It's crazy to think that back in the day, the requirements to drive a monster truck were basically, build one and get booked. Now all these years later…..it still seems like some wildly unqualified people drive monster trucks 😂

  10. 5:59 that’s not based. It’s negative. Based is positivity and uplifting people, even if it’s a tough truth. It’s a gossip site so by definition it cannot be based.

  11. Update: She's driving Independent Trucks once again, people still don't learn, she's banned from most reputable promotions, AFAIK, which means she's limited to some shady promoters.

  12. We all knew this monster jam picks up women for looks so if she looks good and had a crap career before they’ll take them just for marketability. The women they had last season were amazing just Cynthia needs to do something other then total trucks every week. But yeah rumors were going around the first day her name went up on season preview

  13. I stopped watching Monster Jam in 2017 after the complete stupidity running the series and this just adds up to it

  14. If you scroll to the very end of Amber's Instagram there are pictures of her and Ami hanging out!

  15. The other scandal of Monster Jam and the USHRA is that they destroyed their entire tape library from the 80's and 90's because they don't want the world to know about anything monster truck related before 2004.

  16. sir u make me sad its been 3 years yall can forgive her now shes too talented and cute for the disreapect that yall give her look at her insta shes cute and u can tell shes sober

  17. I met Ami Houde at the MJWF XVIII Pit Party and she was so hyperactive and sarcastic (to me and to other fans in some videos I've seen). Guess I know why now 🫤

  18. MJ hired her for her looks, He "skills" on the mic and how she treated fans during the event. They hire people like that before they'll hire some one who can actually drive a truck. They believe they can teach you how to drive a truck.

  19. Originally Soldier Fortune was supposed to be driven by a different person in 2019 but got fired 3 days later got replace by Kayla Blood who originally supposed to drive El Toro Loco on Triple Threat West in 2019 but moved to Soldier Fortune on Triple Threat Central

  20. austin im back to say this i worked with a girl from octber 22 to early 23 who had a pain pill addiction and i have to say drug addicts are misunderstood lily was the sweetest woman ever the only reason she does it is because of the mental pain she goes through and im sure ami problay has serious mental problems and she uses coke to cope so give her some reason please and honestly for a 40 something shes pretty cute
