Amy and Tammy Slaton Face Off as Feud Escalates in ‘1000-lb Sisters’
In the seventh episode of 1000-lb Sisters Season 6, titled Turning a New Beef, tensions between Amy and Tammy Slaton reached new heights as the sisters navigated their ongoing feud. Amy expressed frustration with Tammy’s behavior, saying, “I don’t know if her nitpicks is jealousy or whatever, but I’m trying to progress, I’m trying to grow as a person. Why are you trying to keep me from flourishing, trying to hold me back? I am smart. I am talented. I might be a s**t, but damn.”
Meanwhile, Tammy shared her perspective in a private confessional, criticizing Amy’s behavior. “Amy’s being irritating. Showing her butt literally and making inappropriate jokes—seems like she’s getting younger and I’m growing up”, according to MEAWW.
The conflict came to a head when Amy confided in their brother, Chris Combs, revealing Tammy had yelled at her during a recent argument. “I told her yesterday I did nothing to you to make you yell at me like this. This is unacceptable and uncalled for,” Amy said.
Chris, weary of the constant family drama, weighed in: “Oh man, I’m tired of all the squabbling and the beefing, and I can’t keep up who’s fighting with who. I mean, one minute Amanda’s bickering with Tammy, and in the next minute Amy and Tammy be arguing over petty sh*t, and that’s just being damn real.”
Amy’s struggles extend beyond her relationship with Tammy. Following her divorce from Michael Halterman after six years of marriage, Amy sought therapy to address her mental health challenges. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, acute stress disorder, and depression, she has been open about her journey. “It’s a relief to know that I’m not crazy. It was something totally different. I’m not just snapping because I’m snapping. I’m snapping because I’m bipolar,” she told People magazine.
Despite her challenges, Amy has been proactive about her mental health. She continues to attend therapy and take medication to manage her conditions, focusing on her well-being for the sake of her two young sons, Gage Deon, 3, and Glenn Allen, 1. “I’m happier,” Amy shared, reflecting on her progress.
As Amy and Tammy work through their differences, 1000-lb Sisters continues to explore the complexities of family relationships and personal growth, captivating viewers with its raw and emotional moments.
