Former 1000-Lb Best Friends star Tina Arnold celebrated her birthday on December 1. While former costars and fans reached out to wish her a happy birthday, it’s become increasingly clear how far her rift with Vannessa Cross has grown.

Vannessa managed to rekindle her relationships with Meghan and Ashely. But is it too late for her and Tina’s friendship?

When 1000-Lb Best Friends Season 3 began, there were several important changes. Tina Arnold was no longer a cast member. On top of that, the remaining stars wanted nothing to do with Vannessa Cross. But apparently Meghan Crumpler and Ashely Sutton remained close with Tina Arnold.

In honor of Tina’s birthday, her former cast members showered her with love and attention.

“Happy birthday @tina_arnold1kbf love you so much! 🩷 Enjoy your day! 😘😘😘” Ashely captioned an Instagram post. She attached a photo of herself, Tina Arnold, Meghan Crumpler, and a male companion at a celebration.

Ty ❤ Love you too! 😍” Tina replied. Many 1000-Lb Best Friends fans also wished the former TLC star a happy birthday. But at least one viewer noticed someone was missing.

“Where’s @vannessa_1kbestfriends ?” one Instagram user wondered.

Vannessa Cross hasn’t said much about her rift with Tina Arnold. But now that the latter is no longer contractually involved with TLC, she’s free to speak her mind.

Tina Arnold Frequently Slams Vannessa On Instagram

Since leaving 1000-Lb Best Friends, Tina has spoken incredibly poorly of Vannessa online. In one rant, she went as far as to refer to her former castmate as TLC’s “cash cow.” After that, Vannessa appeared to shade Tina in a promo for the new season.

The women aren’t currently friends and Tina’s made it clear how she feels about Vannessa.

“This is why only [a] few people are allowed in my inner circle,” Tina shared in the comments on an Instagram post. “I’m a one and done kind of girl- you give me one reason not to trust you, I’m done forever. People usually show you who they are – you just have to be willing to listen. V and I were never close for that very reason. Walls are built for a reason.”

It doesn’t seem like the women intend to mend the relationship anytime soon.
