She was also charged with one misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. She was booked at 4:21 p.m. and bail was set at $5,000. In September, the reality star expressed concern that one day her daughter Leah, 2, would see the footage of her slapping Shirley. “I don’t want her to see that and think that it’s okay,” Portwood said at the time, noting that she and Shirley had vowed never to have another physical altercation. “We made that decision because of Leah.”
