Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has reportedly been hospitalized for a possible suicide attempt after she was discovered unconscious in her home with a rope around her neck earlier today.
According to Star, the 21-year-old Portwood has been admitted to the emergency room at St. Johns Hospital in Anderson, Ind.
So far no official word on her condition, though she was reportedly alert enough to answer questions from hospital staffers.
A source told the magazine that the MTV troublemaker is conscious and admitted to ingesting pills.
There was no immediate comment from Portwood's family members, local police or MTV.
Star reports that baby daddy Gary Shirley had asked his mother to check in on Portwood after the on-off couple talked on the phone and he became concerned about Portwood's state of mind. Once inside the home, the source said Gary's mom found Portwood unconscious on the couch from an apparent overdose with some sort of cord around her neck.
Paramedics were immediately called.
Meawhile, in a cryptic message that may have something to do with the day's events, Shirley took to Twitter later in the day to clear the air about cheating allegations.
"Never cheated on Amber.. She may have thought I did, but haven't. I will always love and respect her even if we aren't together," Portwood's 300-pound ex-fianc� tweeted.
Ten minutes later, he added: "Due to recent events, it was best that Amber delete her Twitter...Appreciate all those who continue to support."
The report of Portwood's hospitalization comes just five days after the she pleaded guilty in an Indiana courtroom to two counts of felony domestic battery for allegedly roughing up Shirley last year.
Because she copped to the beatdown, the judge was lenient, giving her a suspended two-year sentence and placing her on two years' probation. The judge also lifted a no-contact order allowing her to see Shirley outside the presence of their 2-year-old daughter, Leah.
