The 26-year-old opened up to E! News to clear up the rumors and set her story straight.

“Five years ago I made the decision to choose prison over rehab in order to fully turn my life around. Since then I’ve worked hard to make serious changes for myself, for my daughter, and for all the fans who supported me.”

The Teen Mom star said she was totally “saddened” by the abuse rumors she described as “untrue and unfounded.”

Regardless, Amber stated that she was dedicated to her recovery and “being the best person I can be for everyone in my life.”

Portwood said she was happy to be a part of the Teen Moms cast in her statement given to People.

“In spite of everything I am truly blessed and will keep going on the positive path I set forth on.”

The reality star said that the abuse rumors were both “vicious and completely false.”

“I can’t stand by and allow the media or anyone else to undermine the progress that Amber has made in turning her life around, or the relationship we’ve worked hard to build together.”

Amber’s fiance Baier, 45, also addressed the photos that have been posted online his face covered in cuts and bruise, which ignited the abuse rumors further.

“The photo that surfaced is nothing more than the result of some roughhousing amongst my guy friends. I got my butt kicked by a friend, and it was well-deserved, I might add. Now someone is trying to use the pic to pain an untrue picture of our life together.”

Baier confirmed that the allegations were ridiculous saying, “Amber would never lay a hand on me and I can’t wait to marry the love of my life in October.”

I miss my little booboo????

Teen Mom fans see Baier as a deadbeat dad and an opportunist, according to Perez Hilton.

The Teen Mom star will be on back on the MTV series this year for more drama. Teen Mom OG’s Maci Bookout-McKinney is back on camera playing out her co-parenting problems with Bentley’s dad Ryan Edwards.

Farrah Abraham is also back on this season of Teen Mom OG struggling to get along with her mom Debra.
