TLC Dragged For Not Offering Amy Halterman & Tammy Slaton ‘Real Help’
It’s no secret that 1000-lb. Sisters stars Tammy Slaton and Amy Halterman aren’t in the best physical shape. Amy has made great progress over the show’s three seasons, but Tammy is only getting worse. The network makes plenty of money off the sisters but doesn’t genuinely seem interested in helping them.
And that’s not sitting well with the show’s fans.
Fans think TLC is taking advantage of Amy Halterman and Tammy Slaton
On a recent Reddit thread, fans expressed concern for Tammy Slaton and Amy Halterman. After three seasons, it’s abundantly clear that the sisters seriously need help.
“I’ve been watching since series started. TLC & producers making lots off the tragedy that is their lives. The decent, human thing to do would be to contractually obligate both Amy & Tammy to accept counseling and provide them with help for their apparent lack of living skills,” the original Reddit post reads. “It’s ok to say, oh she needs to clean that house and throw stuff out. But when you hear about how they were raised, it’s no wonder they are morbidly obese and hoarding. She doesn’t know how to care for or manage a home. I hope and pray they get the treatment and services they need to improve their lives and get healthy.”
A few fans pointed out that TLC most likely paid for the weight loss surgeries on the show. Amy Halterman already had hers and Chris Combs may qualify before long. Tammy, however, is a long shot.
While some fans echoed the original post, many others felt that Tammy and Amy are old enough to make their own choices.
“TLC foots the bill for weight loss surgery I’m pretty sure, and the family agreed to the deal,” said another fan. “What they’re getting from TLC is a miracle that most morbidly obese people won’t ever get. At the end of the day it boils down to personal accountability.”

Tammy’s search for love could be inhibiting her progress
Many fans grow increasingly concerned for Tammy Slaton as time goes on. During Season 3, fans saw her make significant progress in rehab. However, she opted to leave the treatment facility early, frustratingly enough.
Tammy’s siblings suspected she left the facility for a man named Phillip. Like some of Tammy’s other beaus, Phillip was really only interested in Tammy due to her weight. Fortunately, it seems that the couple recently split up.
Now that Tammy is single again, fans hope she will finally get the help she needs. As physicians said on the show many times, Tammy’s very life is on the line here.
