1000-Lb Sisters fans met Amy and Tammy Slaton’s older sister, Misty Wentworth on the TLC show. Mind you, she isn’t seen all that often. When she does appear, she sometimes seems critical of Tammy, and once, she accused Amy of cheating in a competition. A few years ago, Misty’s son, Dustin opened up about his sadly abusive life as a child. Recently, TLC fans discussed it on social media.

Tammy Slaton Has A Complex Family

While Misty is known on the show, it’s hard for TLC fans to figure out the entire family. That’s because some of the family had a different dad{s). Anyway, Misty is known as a Slaton for the 1000-Lb Sisters show, but she was married and divorced. In January, Season 5 viewers saw that Amanda and Misty, like Chris Combs, also went for gastric surgery.

In the comments section of the 1000-Lb Sisters post, most TLC fans discussed how they believed that Tammy Slaton treated her nephew very badly. And, a link to a compilation of Tammy being mean arrived. In his original video, Dustin described how he had “a happy” time as a kid until one night, his parents argued.

Despite freezing conditions outside, his dad allegedly threw out the family but retained seven-year-old Dustin, who claimed he was often “beaten.”

Tammy Slaton Unkind To Dustin?

1000-Lb Sisters fans heard Dustin elaborate on how he finally became reunited with his brothers who treated him with suspicion. Constantly told by his father that he was “useless,” and the horrid welcome by his brothers, eventually saw him break down and he told his teacher. Obviously, some TLC fans wrote in the Reddit discussion how they felt “sad” for him. But, others lambasted Tammy Slaton.

  • The videos of Tammy being abusive to Dustin remind me of how she was yelling at Amy before the fight went down last episode. You could tell Tammy wasn’t fully aware they were being recording for the show and when she did, she switched up real quick.
  • People whove been watching the Slatons longer than the TLC show know the truth about how awful Tammy is because of her treatment of Dustin.
  • Verbally abused him at every chance she got while Tammy was living with the mom Darlene. Dustin moved in to help Darlene do everything for Tammy.
  • I feel bad for this young man. His tearing up. His father abusing him. His brother’s saying he never should’ve come back to them. I just want to hold him and rock him like a baby. It breaks my heart for him. Bless his heart.
  • I wondered who’s son he was. I subscribed to his channel years ago. I never understood why tammy treated him how she did, and then, when I watched his story time videos, I just wanted to scream at tammy.

What are your thoughts about Dustin, the son of Misty Wentworth having a difficult childhood? Are you sad that his dad was allegedly abusive and it seems that Tammy Slaton is nasty to her nephew? Sound off in the comments below, and come back here often for all your 1000-Lb Sisters news.
