Could it be possible that Michael and Amy Halterman are faking their breakup for the sake of the show?

It’s no secret that reality television shows sometimes embellish details, but completely staging a divorce would be something on a much bigger scale.

Since the Haltermans officially announced their breakup, fans have questioned whether or not it was a fabricated storyline. After a new revelation, it seems like there are more questions than answers.

Are Michael and Amy Halterman really getting divorced?

During 1000-Lb Sisters Season 4, viewers watched the Haltermans’ marriage completely break down. Amy felt frustrated and overwhelmed after having her second baby. But instead of being an equal partner in the marriage, Michael frequently left his wife to care for the children herself.

Many fans weren’t at all surprised to hear that the Haltermans officially announced their split not long after Season 4 concluded.

Not long ago, camera crews were spotted at a court hearing where Michael and Amy were hammering out the details of their split in a Kentucky-based courtroom. Witnesses seemed to believe that the film crews were with TLC, meaning they were capturing footage for future seasons of 1000-Lb Sisters.

But now, InTouch Weekly reports that Michael and Amy were seen together not long after the hearing.

According to the publication, the Haltermans were “spotted swapping cars outside their former home just hours after a judge ordered them to stay 500 feet away from each other.”

Curiously enough, Michael Halterman did officially file for a divorce from Amy. Afterward, the exes started working on a custody agreement for their two young sons.

The legal paperwork appears to be official, but plenty of 1000-Lb Sisters have continued to question whether or not Michael and Amy’s split was legitimate.

So could the divorce really just be a storyline manufactured for ratings? For now, the jury is still out. Be sure to share what you think in the comments.

Some 1000-Lb Sisters fans think TLC could be exploiting the couple

As long as 1000-Lb Sisters has a solid fanbase, TLC will likely keep producing the series. And that’s exactly why some fans think the network is deliberately creating drama out of thin air.

On Reddit, many viewers voiced their concerns.

“Yuck. Filming a divorce seems a bit off to me,” one Redditor shared on the platform.

“TLC camera crew wouldn’t miss it for the world,” another added.

However, the Haltermans’ divorce isn’t the only breakup raising eyebrows. There are other 1000-Lb Sisters viewers that think the Willinghams’ entire marriage might have been a farce.

Although Tammy Slaton hasn’t directly admitted it yet, it doesn’t appear that she’s with Caleb Willingham any longer either. In some fans’ minds, the excessive familial drama seems rather convenient.
