Fans of the show 1000-Lb Sisters are well aware of the fact that Amy Halterman and her husband, Michael, have already gone through a divorce. However, the current season of the show is showcasing the aftermath of their split, and it is not a pretty sight.
Although only three episodes of the season have aired thus far, there has been no shortage of unpleasant exchanges between Michael and Amy. In the latest episode, viewers witnessed Amy breaking down in tears and expressing her desire for a divorce. However, Michael refused to let her go, going so far as to deny her access to her own debit card. The situation escalated to the point where the police had to intervene, but it is clear that the drama is far from over.
During this particular episode, fans could not help but empathize with Amy as she likened herself to a discarded piece of gum. The exact words she used and the fans’ reactions to them were both notable aspects of the episode.
Taking the brave step of walking away from an unhappy marriage is never an easy decision. Nevertheless, Amy Halterman mustered up the courage to do just that in this recent episode, leaving her husband Michael behind.
TLC has provided a sneak peek of the upcoming episode of 1000-Lb Sisters on Instagram. In this episode, Amy’s sisters, particularly Amanda, made an effort to uplift her spirits. However, Amy’s words deeply saddened fans. She expressed, “I’ve warned him countless times that if he doesn’t change, I would leave. I used to be the one holding our family together, but now I feel discarded, like a piece of used gum.” Through her tears, she jokingly compared herself to a dirty shoe with gum stuck to the bottom.
Numerous Instagram users empathized with Amy and left supportive comments. Some said, “Don’t cry, Amy! You’ve got this! You’ve practically been doing it all on your own anyway! It’s his loss, not yours!” Others expressed their sympathy, saying, “My heart breaks for you. Stay strong. We love you all.” Many acknowledged the progress the family has made, stating, “You guys have come a long way. It’s great to see you supporting each other.” One user praised Amy, saying, “You’re amazing, Amy! You always bring a smile to my face. I’m sorry you’re feeling sad.”
Despite their frequent arguments, Amy’s siblings, especially Tammy and Amanda, have rallied around her during this challenging time. Tammy, in particular, extended an invitation for Amy to stay with her for as long as necessary. Recognizing the help and support Amy has provided in the past, Tammy wanted to return the favor.
