Or, will Amanda be the force that finally makes Tammy stand down?
1000-Lb. Sisters’ Introduces Tammy’s Older Sister, Amanda
In Season 2 of 1000-Lb. Sisters, viewers got a chance to know more about some of Tammy Slaton and Amy Halterman’s older siblings. While their sister, Misty and brother, Chris Combs were featured in the first season – their stories definitely weren’t highlighted. Fans only really got to see them in regards to their interactions with their younger, heftier siblings.
During the second season, fans got to know the siblings more intimately. The show featured more information about their lives and their relationships with the rest of the family. Fans fell in love with big brother, Chris who seems to have a strong supportive role in his sisters’ lives, despite dealing with challenging health and weight issues of his own.
Season Three introduces us to yet one more sibling in the clan. Tall, blonde, and brash, Amanda Halterman is known for being feisty and for speaking her mind without reserve. While Amanda is the only sibling whose age isn’t publicly disclosed, we do know that she is slightly younger than Chris, who falls in behind her oldest sister, Misty.
There’s Only Room For One “B*tch” In The Family
Among Tammy Slaton’s siblings, they will quickly tell you that their 640+ sister is a “b*tch just to be a b*tch.” In this week’s episode, the siblings actually discussed at length the fact that Tammy’s nasty attitude has progressively gotten worse over the last few years. The family is tired of being Tammy’s personal slaves, only to be verbally abused and berated when she doesn’t get her way.
Funnily, Amanda Halterman has also been referred to as a “b*tch” by her siblings. In reference to Amanda, however, the term is used a bit more comically. This brazen reality celeb is known for being blunt and to the point – much like Misty. Where Amanda really stands out is that she has a bit more fire in her spirit. While Misty tends to be very cool and level-headed, Amanda has a short fuse, especially when it comes to disrespect.
Despite her sass and quick tongue, Amanda very clearly loves her siblings. Even fans can see that there’s not much she wouldn’t do to help her family. Unlike some of the other siblings, however, Amanda refuses to let Tammy walk all over people. She doesn’t let her excuses slide – especially when it comes to how she treats other people. She is one of the few family members that fights back against Tammy, rather than biting their tongue and letting her have her way.
Tammy Slaton Gets a “Dose Of Real” from Her Sister
In this last episode, Tammy does her best to ruin her family’s vacation. From throwing a temper tantrum over getting into the cabin to being mad that the family got photos done without her, Tammy nary uttered a positive word during the whole trip.
Early on in the episode, Amanda decided to wash her hands of her sister, At least where the vacation was concerned. Amanda had hit her limit for Tammy’s antics. She was disgusted by the way Tammy was treating her family. The celeb then points out how ungrateful Tammy is acting. She notes how many sacrifices everyone made so that Tammy could take part in the trip.
Towards the end, during a dinner that Tammy actually agreed to attend, Amanda got a message containing the photos from the family session earlier that day. Since no one had seen them yet, Amanda held her phone out to everyone, starting with Tammy who sat next to her and moved around the table. Tammy took this as a personal insult, inquiring if Amanda was rubbing it in her face that she didn’t go.
The comment led to an argument, in which Amanda tells Tammy how rude she has been to her entire family. Mount Tammy erupted, telling her sister to ‘shut the f**** up” and asking how she’s supposed to say anything if Amanda keeps talking.
Amanda, packing up her things, tells her sister very pointedly, to “just wait until these cameras aint rolling.”
Tammy Slaton, who needs to have the last word tells her sister to get away from her – to which Amanda replies, “YOU can kiss my ass.”

I am sick of Tammy
I am so glad Amanda is there getting her straight. Tammy is a big fat lazy lying bully. As long as she get her way she’s fine otherwise she’s just nasty. She claims it’s about them trying to help her but they are bending over backwards to help her. Poor Amy and Michael
I think they’ve all got out of control,now they can’t open their mouth without f—- you and curse words,time take this show off the tube
The nasty words need to be stopped, not just bleeped out. They are adults and should know better than to talk like that around a baby and to their fans. I don’t like dirty language.
Tammy is very rude, childish, disrespectful, and just plain lazy, also filled with envy and jealousy. She doesn’t want to put forth effort in anything except her phone. She won’t luve much longer as big as she is and obviously shd doesn’t care. I think its tough love time so they should just leave her out altogether and let her figure it out.
Tammy is rude, selfish, a hypocrite, lazy & a mean bully! She treats her family like dirt & she gets pissed if Amy doesn’t jump the minute she yells at her!!! Amy has a husband & child to take care of and Tammy thinks Amy can just drop everything the minute she barks…She calls Amy lazy and she can’t even call in her own medications herself….All the swearing is getting old & they shouldn’t be swearing all the time around children! Tammy says she can take care of herself and gives no credit to anyone who helps her, if it was me I would say ok, take care of yourself and don’t call me to do anything else for you……….see how long she lasts….she puts down Chris & Amy if they gain some weight and here she is 700 lbs….she is 2 or 3 times heavier than them…I honestly wonder if she ever takes a long look in the mirror & sees what everyone else sees? Tammy it’s time to leave Amy alone, she has a husband, child and another one the away & stop being jealous of her and let her enjoy her home & family!
