1000-Lb Sisters Star Spirals After Divorce – New Relationship Raises Red Flags
1000-Lb Sisters: Amy Slaton’s Struggles Prove A Relationship Isn’t Healthy For Her After Divorce

Throughout 1000-Lb Sisters last few seasons, Amy Slaton has made some difficult choices that haven’t allowed her to heal from her struggles in the way she needs to, making it clear that her current relationship is moving too quickly to be healthy. With some incredibly fast updates in her current relationship with Brian Lovvorn, who Amy met after her divorce from Michael Halterman, it’s been clear to viewers that Amy’s behavior has felt disjointed. Throughout 1000-Lb Sisters season 7, Amy’s made calls that don’t always seem wrong, but don’t seem to be getting her to any better a place, either.
With Amy focused on her sons, Gage and Glenn, and rebuilding her life after her divorce from Michael, it’s become obvious that there’s something going on off-screen that’s keeping her a bit more pre-occupied than adjusting to life as a single mother. Amy’s arrest in September 2024, wherein she was charged for drug possession and child endangerment at a drive-thru safari zoo, should’ve shifted her priorities, but it appears to have pushed her to double down on living the way she wants to. Knowing that there’s been a lot of reckless behavior in Amy’s past, her safety is a concern.

While Amy has been trying to celebrate all of her successes, the struggles that viewers saw her grappling with throughout 1000-Lb Sisters season 6 have only manifested into bigger issues. Though she’s been able to build a happy relationship with Brian thus far, it’s clear that Amy has yet to actually address the issues that led to her divorce from Michael, as well as the depressive episode that had her family intervening last season. While ending her marriage to Michael did help resolve the pressure and difficulty between them, Amy hasn’t dealt with the issues in her life head on.

Amy may be struggling internally in ways that 1000-Lb Sisters viewers can’t see, but it’s almost certain that if she opened up, there would be a lot for viewers to relate to. After being with Michael for so long and having such an intense relationship with her first husband, the fact that Amy didn’t give herself much time or space to heal has been concerning. Many were hopeful that Amy would take time to heal and grow from her marriage, but after jumping into a new relationship, it’s clear things are tougher for Amy mentally than 1000-Lb Sisters viewers expected.
