"I wish people would stop spreading rumors," the 38-year-old said the video. "But I'm here to tell ya, Amy is not pregnant and Brittany did not pass away."
While Tammy's video confirmed that Amy -- who is already mom of Gage Halterman, 4, and Glenn Halterman, 2, who she shares with her ex-husband Michael Halterman -- is not in fact expecting her third child, it also quieted the media frenzy that erupted after reports surfaced that Brittany had died -- for which many fans were grateful.
"I'm so thankful to hear this. Thank you for letting me know. I was heartbroken. Glad Brittany is ok," one user wrote. With another one adding, "It's driving me nuts. People are still spreading misinformation."
