“I want to get my side of the story out,” she added.
“I literally opted out of drug court a long time ago to put myself in prison to help myself,” she said. “Why would I jeopardize… you haven’t heard s— from me since then, haven’t gotten in trouble one time.”

She continued, “But all of a sudden I’m running after him with a machete? You’re insane.”
Portwood also seemingly criticized Glennon for texting he was in danger to a 9-1-1 operator.
Portwood also hinted Glennon was dating someone new.
“It takes you less than two weeks to ask a woman to come to Indiana,” she said. “I’ve already talked to her. She’s a good person. She’s very nice. She’s very sweet.”
