Amanda Halterman Breaks Silence On Late Arrival To TLC Series

1000-Lb. Sisters viewers have grown to love Amanda Halterman and her witty banter with her sister, Misty. She is comic relief when necessary but she has a good heart. Upon learning of Michael and Amy Halterman’s separation, she went into super aunt mode and was there for her nephews, Gage and Glenn. Interestingly enough, she was also previously married to Michael’s brother, Jason so there are a lot of family ties. Sadly, that marriage ended in divorce and now it seems like the ladies of the family are all single and ready to mingle. Except for their sister, Tammy Slaton, whose marriage to Caleb Willingham is still up in the air.

With all of the happenings, the family keeps coming together. This made one fan curious as to why Amanda Halterman didn’t come on board with the show in the beginning. According to The Sun, a fan took to Amanda’s TikTok to write this: “Out of curiosity, how come you weren’t on the show when it first came out? Did you not like being on camera back then?” To that, Amanda responded: “Yeah when the show first started, I had already started having problems in my marriage. So, um, I chose not to make a lot of appearances. I was at Amy’s wedding, and season two things really fell apart in my marriage.”
