Cameras were not allowed inside of the courtroom itself, but on Wednesday, May 3, a TLC film crew was seen outside of Union County Court Annex in Kentucky. Sources clarified that the crew was there to capture confessional footage so that the show's stars could explain how they were feeling amid the legal proceedings.

Amy was also photographed walking outside of the courthouse accompanied by her older half sister, Amanda, her half brother, Chris, and two friends.

It is unclear if the footage will still be used now that their court battle has been cut short.

This comes months after OK! learned Amy filed domestic violence charges against her ex following an incident where he allegedly became "violent" and started "throwing things" during an argument over their potential split.

Per the police report, the altercation happened while their sons — Gage, 2, and Glenn, 11 months — were in the home. Neither Michael nor Amy were under the influence of drugs or alcohol when authorities arrived.
