Amber Portwood has been arrested for domestic violence, it has been reported.

Portwood, who stars on the MTV series Teen Mum, was charged with three felonies, two for domestic battery and one for neglect of a dependent, according to the Daily Mail. She also faces a misdemeanour charge of domestic battery.
