1000-Lb Sisters season 6 star Tammy Slaton has always butted heads with other members of the Slaton family, but her recent issues with Amanda Halterman, Chris Combs, and Misty Wentworth have hit a fever pitch. The show chronicles the weight-loss journeys of 38-year-old Tammy and her 37-year-old sister Amy Slaton, and their other three siblings are always at their sisters’ sides. The Slaton family tree is complicated, so Amy and Tammy didn’t grow up in the same house as Amanda, Chris, and Misty. They make up for it by spending all their time together as adults.

The Slatons grew up in Indiana, but the five close-knit siblings now live in Kentucky. The 1000-lb Sisters season 6 stars have all achieved incredible weight-loss milestones over the years, with each of them going under the knife and receiving bariatric surgery. The siblings have supported each other throughout the whole process, and their family dynamics may be the best thing about the unscripted series. Like any close-knit family, the Slatons often butt heads, especially when the hot-headed Tammy and Amanda are in the picture. Read on to learn more about Tammy’s beef with Amanda, Chris and Misty.

Tammy’s Incredible Transformation

Checking Into Rehab Changed Her Life

While all the Slaton siblings have gone on incredible weight-loss journeys, some have been less linear than others. When 1000-lb Sisters premiered, Tammy weighed 600 pounds. Despite severely limited mobility and subpar quality of life, Tammy couldn’t commit to a diet. In fact, she only seemed to gain weight. At her heaviest, Tammy weighed a shocking 725 pounds. Still, Tammy continued to live dangerously, eating with abandon, drinking and partying all the time. Everyone almost gave up on Tammy, including Tammy herself.

Everything changed when Tammy fell ill. After being rushed to the hospital, Tammy had to be placed in a medically-induced coma. It was the only way to save her life. When Tammy woke up, she was finally scared enough to do something about her weight and her failing health. The 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star checked herself into a weight-loss rehabilitation facility. After treating her food addiction, Tammy had bariatric surgery and lost a stunning 500 pounds.

When Tammy got out of rehab, she needed a place to live. The house she had been living in was broken into while she was away in rehab, and all her things had been stolen. Tammy was basically starting her new life from scratch. She moved into a house owned by her sister, Amanda, which caused problems. Tammy accuses Amanda of being a bad landlord who refuses to make necessary repairs in a timely manner.

The simmering tensions between Tammy and Amanda finally boiled over during 1000-lb Sisters season 6. A Slaton family meeting about their weight-loss journeys abruptly ended when Amanda threw Tammy out of her house. Tammy stormed out, proclaiming that Amanda was forever dead to her. Though some of the Slatons have terrible tempers, they don’t hold grudges against each other. Tammy and Amanda have made up since then, but they should never live together again.

She complained that Chris and Misty hadn’t really been there for her since she got back from the rehabilitation facility. She said that Misty used to call her every day when she was in rehab, but the calls stopped once Tammy was back home. With the season still in full swing, it remains to be seen how Tammy will deal with her family grievances.
