Back in July, Amber Portwood was arrested on domestic violence charges after allegedly assaulting boyfriend Andrew Glennon. At the time, several of Portwood's Teen Mom OG castmates stood by her side, including Catelynn Lowell, who tweeted that fans should wait until they have all the facts and refrain from rushing to judgment. Of course, Lowell's comments were made prior to the release of shocking new audio recordings in which Portwood can be heard threatening to stab Glennon . Now, Catelynn is speaking out again — but instead of defending Amber, she's defending victims everywhere. Take a look: 1. The Best of Friends Few people can relate to the unique struggles Amber and Catelynn have faced over the course of the past decade, so it should come as no surprise that the reality stars developed a close friendship. 2. When Loyalty Creates Problems In that way, it makes sense that — along with the rest of the Moms — Catelynn’s first instinct was to defend and support her longtime friend. 3. Course Correction However, that doesn’t make it right — a fact that Lowell now seems to realize. 4. Shocking Evidence Yes, it’s important to be loyal to your friends, but it’s more important to be loyal to your own code of ethics, and it seems that the newly-leaked audio recordings of Amber and Andrew’s arguments served as a wake-up call for Catelynn. 5. Trigger Warning In a pair of recordings first obtained by Katie Joy of Without a Crystal Ball, Amber physically attacks Andrew, threatens him with further bodily harm, and fantasizes about him getting gang-raped. 6. Horrifying It’s not hard to see why Catelynn and many others who may have been inclined to side with Amber underwent an abrupt change of heart after listening to the audio. View Slideshow
