The segment started with a montage of Amber's season, and its last moments featured headlines from the night of the arrest and Andrew texting 911 saying his life was in danger.


"A text message by the way -- I just wish to point that out real quick," Amber stated. However I ran right after him with a machete."


The addiction specialist inquired who Andrew actually contacted, and Amber replied that it was a patrol for their area.


"If somebody is coming soon after me with something like that, I'm calling the f*cking police and running out the door," she mentioned, while Dr. Drew stated that if someone was being attacked, "You would want the 911 operator to hear your voice."

"I've already spoke to her," Amber told a surprised Dr. Drew. "She's a good person. Very nice; she is a very sweet person."


Nevertheless, as soon as Dr. Drew attempted to get more statistics connected with the night she was arrested, Amber pushed back and stated she required assurance and said her lawyers to "figure something out."


"I desire to get my side of the story out," Amber stressed.


Yet, Dr. Drew assured Amber that there's no intention of putting her in a "compromising situation."


"I literally opted out of drug court a long time ago to put myself in prison to help myself," Amber explained. "Why would I jeopardize? You haven't heard sh*t from me since then, haven't gotten in trouble one time. Yet all of a sudden, I'm running right after my kid, and then with a machete? You're insane."


Dr. Drew expressed his gratitude for Amber being "so open," and Amber concluded the interview with a thank you to her fans. At the end of the segment, a message read, right after this interview was recorded, Amber and Andrew's legal teams started working towards a resolution. We look forward to hearing from Amber and Andrew in the near future."
