Tammy Slaton has had an incredible journey on 1000-lb Sisters, but the reality TV star has become a bit of a bad girl after reaching another weight loss milestone. At her heaviest, Tammy weighed 698 pounds, and she now allegedly weighs 278 pounds. Tammy’s impressive weight loss enabled her to overcome health complications, such as needing oxygen supplementation, which had become necessary for one-half of the 1000-lb Sisters. Finally, she qualified for bariatric surgery, and her weight has lowered even more since. Despite the positive lifestyle changes, Tammy has gotten herself in a bit of trouble.

Amy qualified for bariatric surgery first because she was motivated to have children. While Tammy was more resistant than Amy to lose weight, multiple health scares and a stint in a rehab facility helped set her on the road to success. There were doubts she would keep up her transformation after the death of her husband, Caleb Willingham, but she has exceeded all expectations. However, she’s also had a few scandals since meeting her latest weight loss milestone. 1000-lb Sisters season 6 may still be on the way, but Tammy manages to keep herself in the limelight.

Tammy Slaton Got Caught With Some Weed

She Got Pulled Over In Kentucky In August 2023

According to InTouch, Tammy was arrested for marijuana possession in August 2023. The source alleged that the incident unfolded when the vehicle she was traveling in was pulled over for speeding in Sturgis, Kentucky. Upon approaching the vehicle, the officer detected the scent of marijuana, leading Tammy to admit she was carrying “approximately an ounce or more of Marijuana” in her purse.

Court documents obtained by the source revealed Tammy was required to complete a Marijuana Education Program, and her case would be deferred for six months, with charges potentially dropped if she stayed out of trouble during that period. The charges included one count of possession of marijuana and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. After the shocking arrest, it seems Tammy has mostly stayed out of trouble. Luckily for Tammy, her drug charges were dismissed, according to Radar Online.

It’s important to note Tammy’s arrest occurred five days after Caleb, her former husband, died in the rehab facility where they met. She was already going through a difficult time, and having a bit of marijuana in her purse was just the icing on top of a terrible cake. Tammy loves to be a rule breaker, but it’s a relief her charges were dismissed. If anything, it’s a positive reminder to Tammy of how far she’s come in her life since then.

Tammy Slaton Unloaded On Trolls

She Shut Down The Family Guy Comparisons

Tammy is proud of her weight loss and has no time for haters online. In response to a hurtful comment comparing Tammy to the character Peter Griffin from Family Guy, Tammy came ready to fight. Tammy shared a screenshot of the comment on TikTok, saying, “If you have no name and no picture, keep your mouth shut.” Furthermore, she addressed other comments she has received, adding, “I am tired of seeing this. Calling me a chicken, saying gobble-gobble. Turkey neck. Whatever.” Finally, the no-nonsense Tammy expressed her pride in the work she’s put in.

” I am tired of seeing this. Calling me a chicken, saying gobble-gobble. Turkey neck. Whatever .”

By refusing to stoop to the level of her critics, Tammy demonstrated grace under pressure and shut down the doubters. The comparison to Peter Griffin, a character known for his exaggerated portrayal of obesity, could have been deeply hurtful to Tammy. However, she chose to teach the troll some manners and shut him down without retaliating with low blows. This response not only showcased Tammy’s strength of character but also served as a valuable lesson in handling online criticism with dignity. It also shows she’s not to be messed with.

Tammy Slaton Ate Candy After Weight Loss Surgery

Fans On Reddit Were Unimpressed

Back when Tammy’s continued weight loss journey was uncertain, she made waves with her bad girl attitude by eating candy after her bariatric surgery. The incident raised concerns regarding her commitment to her health. Tammy’s bucking of the rules has always been a concern.

Reddit user u/seukwle shared a screenshot from one of Tammy’s TikTok videos where she was seen holding a packet of candy from the Freezers company, signaling approval with a thumbs-up gesture. This sparked a discussion among fans, with many expressing disappointment and frustration over Tammy’s apparent lapse in commitment to her health goals. One user noted, “Also, […]having bariatric surgery, anything GUMMY (including vitamins) is out. They can clog the intestine. Dangerous,” while another commented, “Honestly there’s a special place in hell for the companies sending her this trash.”

Luckily, it seems Tammy’s gummy snacks didn’t derail her weight loss goals. Despite the less-than-ethical gift from the gummy company, she’s still been able to shed the pounds after bariatric surgery. Her rule-breaking streak hasn’t derailed her completely.

There Were Rumors She Dated TikToker Haley Michelle

Tammy has been at the center of many dating rumors lately. Her dating history on 1000-Lb Sisters has always been messy, with her and Jerry Sykes first meeting in a BBW chatroom. However, after two seasons of a problematic relationship, the pair split. Tammy also briefly dated Phillip Redmond, another man she met through a BBW chatroom. However, he was toxic and didn’t support her weight-loss endeavors.

After a string of bad partners, Tammy married Caleb, whom she met in her rehab facility. She and Caleb were poised to be together forever, but he wasn’t as committed to his health as Tammy was, and she became frustrated. Unfortunately, he passed away after they had allegedly parted ways.

Since Caleb’s death and Tammy’s continued weight loss, the 1000-lb Sisters star has been focused on herself. However, there were questions about whether Tammy is dating TikToker Haley Michelle. The reality TV star clarified on TikTok that they’re just friends, dispelling rumors of a romantic involvement. Despite the gossip, Tammy asserted she was single. Haley, known for her TikTok presence before meeting Tammy, seems to share many interests with Tammy, leading to an unsurprising friendship.

Tammy has become a bit of a bad girl since her weight-loss transformation, but she’s still sticking to her goals. While rumors surfaced that Haley Michelle and Tammy are dating, she denied this was the case and she is focused on herself. She may be seeing someone and keeping in on the down low, but Tammy tends to post most of her life online. Despite a slip-up with candy and a minor weed arrest, 1000-lb Sisters‘ Tammy is still on the right track, shutting down her haters every step of the way.
