Vannessa Cross has a starring role on TLC’s 1000-Lb Best Friends, but she wouldn’t mind joining the cast of 1000-Lb Sisters

Known for her loud and bold personality, Vannessa thinks she has exactly what it takes to become part of the Slaton clan. See what she had to say in a new interview.

Vannessa Cross & Tammy Slaton Struck Up A Friendship Off Camera

In a new interview with Access Hollywood, Vannessa Cross opened up about a wide range of topics. From skin removal surgery to feuding with her costars, Vannessa had plenty to say about the inner workings of the show.

But toward the end of the interview, she candidly spoke about her budding friendship with Tammy Slaton. As her friendships with Meghan Crumpler and Ashely Sutton breakdown onscreen, Vannessa finds comfort and solace with Tammy outside the world of reality television.

The women have never met in person, but that didn’t stop them from forming a close bond. Vannessa told Access Hollywood that she and Tammy have each other’s cell phone numbers so they text back and forth — especially when they need encouragement. On top of that, Tammy sent Vannessa a kitten as a gift. Tammy’s cat had kittens back in the spring and she wanted to share the love.

The Reality Star Thinks She’s Just Like The Slatons On 1000-Lb Sisters

Vannessa told Access Hollywood that she’s mostly made up with Meghan and Ashely, but there are still some problems that need to be worked through. However, the other women aren’t as willing as she is to get together and talk things out. That seems to be another reason she’s speaking with Tammy more often these days.

“We are really good friends. I have never met them, but I feel like I would fit into their family like they fit into their family. I would give anything to be able to meet the Slatons, honestly,” Vannessa shared in the interview, noting the similarities between herself and the family.

Just like the Slatons, Vannessa Cross is loud, bold, and a bit uncouth at times. After comparing the women, it’s really no surprise Vannessa and Tammy bonded.

An official crossover event hasn’t yet been planned by TLC, but both shows share viewers. If the network had a crossover between 1000-Lb Best Friends and 1000-Lb Sisters, viewership would likely be pretty high.
