Portwood served a 24-hour hold for allegedly slapping and choking her ex-fiance Gary Shirley. She was charged with two counts of domestic battery, three felonies, one count of neglect of a dependent and one misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. The court automatically entered a not guilty plea for Portwood before she was released.
