The highly anticipated return of 1000-Lb Sisters brought with it more drama for the show’s protagonist, Tammy Slaton. Things have taken a surprising turn in terms of her living situation. With the release of the fifth season in December 2023, viewers were eager to see what was happening in Tammy’s life after a challenging year for her and her sister, Amy Slaton.
In the midst of all the personal turmoil, Tammy found herself dealing with the aftermath of her sister’s split from her former husband, Michael Halterman. To make matters worse, Tammy experienced the unexpected passing of her husband, Caleb Willingham, which led her to return to her home in Kentucky. Sadly, her grief was not met with smooth sailing, as just five days after Caleb’s funeral, Tammy found herself being arrested for drug possession.
The previous season showcased Tammy’s significant weight loss of over 300 pounds, as well as her marriage to Caleb. On the other hand, Amy struggled to balance her role as a mother to two children and a failing marriage. The gap between seasons revealed further hardships for both women, further amplifying the anticipation for the return of the show.
Unfortunately, Tammy’s housing situation took a turn for the worse due to Amanda Halterman’s actions.
As reported by the US Sun, Amanda Halterman, one of Tammy’s siblings, was the owner of the rented property where Tammy resided, and she eventually evicted her. The sisters had been engaged in heated conflicts for several months, even at Caleb’s funeral. A close friend of Tammy, mentioned in the article, described their relationship by saying, “She was living in a rental owned by her sister, Amanda…and they have constant, fierce disputes, like cats and dogs.” Although the exact cause of their latest fight is unknown, it is evident that the sisters have experienced intense arguments both on and off camera over the years. Currently, Tammy has moved in with her brother, Chris Combs.
Following her eviction by her sister, Tammy found refuge in the welcoming embrace of her brother, Chris Combs. Tammy, known for her role on the popular show “1000-Lb Sisters,” relocated approximately 38 miles from her previous residence in Sturgis, Kentucky. The new abode is unpretentious, and according to reports, Tammy made the move to live with Chris around November 2023. With Chris and his wife, Brittany, having recently become parents to a newborn in August 2023, integrating Tammy into the already bustling household must have added an extra layer of commotion. Chris, adored by many viewers, has become a beloved figure due to his remarkable weight loss journey.
Amy and Tammy’s lives have been quite tumultuous since the conclusion of filming for the first part of 1000-Lb Sisters. As fans eagerly await the second half, there is plenty of drama that needs to be addressed on the show. From the heartbreaking loss of Tammy’s husband, to Amy’s separation from her partner, and Tammy’s recent incident involving drug possession, there is a lot going on in their lives. On top of all that, Tammy now finds herself living in a different home due to another heated argument with Amanda. Despite the viewer’s limited glimpse into their lives, the 1000-Lb Sisters have certainly provided the show’s producers with an abundance of material to work with.
