1000-lb SistersstarsAmy SlatonandTammy Slatonused to always make public appearances as a package deal, but Amy has been branching out to do her own thing. The 37-year-old single mother recently made her first solo public appearance. It was the first time she had done a meet and greet without her sister, Tammy, 38, by her side. Of all the Slaton siblings, Amy and Tammy are the closest. The sisters are so close in age and are often referred to as Irish twins, and they grew up in the same house, unlike their other siblings.
When the show premiered in 2020, the sisters lived next door to each other. They lived together until Amy married Michael Halterman, and Tammy moved in next door. Back then, the sisters weighed a combined 1,000 pounds, which is where the show got its provocative title. By the time1000-lb Sisterseason 7premiered, Amy and Tammy had lost a significant amount of weight and had changed their lives. Lately, thesisters have both expressed a desire for more independence. Is Amy’s recent solo meet-and-greet a sign that the sisters are growing apart?
Amy & Tammy Are Closer Than Most Sisters
They’ve Both Been Wanting More Independence
Amy and Tammy have three other half-siblings, but they grew up in different households. Thoughthe whole family is very close-knit these days, the other Slaton siblings,44-year-old Chris Combs, 44-year-old Amanda Halterman, and 48-year-old Misty Wentworth, are much older than Amy and Tammy. Amy and Tammy lived together as children, and for many years, they also lived together as adults.
Before embarking on her weight-loss journey, Tammy weighed over 600 pounds, so her mobility was limited. She needed a lot of help with day-to-day activities, and Amy was there for her. After Amy got married, Tammy moved in next door, whereshe continued to rely on Amy and her husband, Michael Halterman, for help. After Amy and Michael got divorced in 2023, Amy even stayed with Tammy for a while, along with her two sons. Amy and Tammy have lived together more than most sisters ever will, so their relationship is unique on many levels.
Since losing weight, Tammy has expressed a desire to put more distance between herself and her family. The1000-lb Sistersseason 7 star even contemplated leaving Kentucky, which is where the show films. Theshow relies on generous tax rebates from the state of Kentucky, so if Tammy were to leave the state, it’s hard to imagine that the series would continue. She’s one of the show’s main draws, so she’ll hopefully rethink her threat.
