Multiple sources tell Star she was likely at the hospital on a 72-hour hold for psychiatric evaluation, which is standard when there is a suicide attempt.
Portwood’s on-again-off-again boyfriend and baby daddy Gary Shirley has set up an email account to help her during her recovery.
“The amount of positive support and energy has been overwhelming. An email account has been set up for those who would like to send well wishes to Amber herself,” Shirley posted on his Twitter account late Thursday night.
“Your support is too special to pass up. All emails will be screened and any positive message will be printed and given to Amber - thinkingofamber@gmail.com.”
