Amber Portwood Reveals Her Biggest Regret In New ‘Teen Mom OG’ Sneak Peek
A new Teen Mom OG sneak peek has been released and in the clip, Amber Portwood opened up about her July 2019 arrest, revealing her biggest regret from that night.
The preview showed headlines from Amber’s arrest followed by a social media video posted by Amber in which she apologized to her fans.
In a voice over, Amber revealed that the time following her arrest was one of the “hardest,” but she admitted that she was “proud” for how she handled the situation. The mom of two then said she was “lucky” to have the support of her ex Gary Shirley and his wife Kristina.
Gary sat down in the same room as Amber as she opened up to him about her regrets from the night of her arrest.
“The No. 1 regret that I have is that I did not walk out of the house that night. Now I look back and I’m so ashamed because all I keep thinking about is, ‘Amber, you should have walked out of the house,'” she said as Gary listened intently.
Rather than leave, however, the Teen Mom star allegedly hit her then-boyfriend Andrew Glennon while he held their young son. Amber was arrested for domestic battery, although she did not serve any jail time.
“There are limits to somebody with mental health disorders. There’s only so much somebody like me can handle and people like me will understand that,” she continued.
Gary then told her that she has “learned a lot” from the mistakes she made “this time.”
“I just have a lot of guilt of not being aware of myself more than I should have,” she continued through tears.
Although Andrew was not shown on camera in the clip, the Teen Mom OG producers called him and asked him to share his side of the story. Andrew was open to doing so and admitted that it has given him “anxiety.” He talked about the fact that he has had a hard time sleeping. While he opened up a little bit in the clip, it seems like the producers held some information back, as they appear to want to meet up with Andrew and allow him to share his side of the story.
The new season of Teen Mom OG will premiere on March 17. While it is clear Amber will open up about her side of things, fans will have to tune in to hear from Andrew’s perspective.
