The 'Teen Mom' star made a surprising U-turn on her previous decision to leave the show. In a recent development, the reality star will be taping in Los Angeles later this month. Although she had informed her friends that she was quitting the franchise, it seems that Portwood has had a change of heart. According to an insider who spoke with The US Sun, "Amber has repeatedly claimed over the years that she wanted to quit the show, but this time around felt different. She was in talks with her lawyers and gave notice to production. She was even preparing to make the announcement." This suggests that Portwood was serious about quitting the show and had made preparations to do so. However, despite laying out a plan to leave and giving notice, Portwood was ultimately convinced to stay on by the producers.
A second source has revealed that "She did quit, but the producers convinced her to come back again. She will be a cast member this new season." It seems that the producers were able to persuade Portwood to continue her journey with the show. The source also shared that Portwood is "excited to spend lots of time" with her son, James, in Los Angeles. Portwood, now 32, first appeared on MTV's '16 and Pregnant' in 2009 and later became a cast member of 'Teen Mom'. Over the years, her personal life has been well-documented on the show, from her struggles with substance abuse to her tumultuous relationships. While the reasons behind her initial decision to leave the show were unclear, it seems that Portwood is now ready to continue sharing her life with her fans.
