1000-Lb Sisters has always shown the ups and downs between the Slaton siblings, but season 6 takes an emotional turn—especially between Tammy and Amanda. In episode 7 that aired in November 2024, Amanda opened up about her breakup, revealing that her partner ghosted her.
Instead of showing support, Tammy used the moment to lash out, making fun of Amanda and suggesting she was just jealous of Tammy’s weight loss. The line “she’s not the pretty sister anymore” came off as harsh and unnecessary.
In my opinion, what makes this moment worse is that no one truly called Tammy out for it. Amanda was visibly hurt and walked away, and the show moved on without any follow-up or accountability. It’s not the first time Tammy has crossed a line, but this one hit differently—because it was aimed directly at someone who’s been there for her during her hardest times.

If the show keeps ignoring these moments, it sends the message that Tammy can say whatever she wants without consequence.
Amanda walked away—but that doesn’t mean Tammy should’ve gotten a pass in 1000-Lb Sisters
During the confrontation between Tammy and Amanda in 1000-Lb Sisters season 6 episode 7, what stood out wasn’t just Tammy’s insult, but Amanda’s reaction. Instead of yelling back or matching Tammy’s energy, Amanda removed herself from the situation. She didn’t escalate the fight and just left without any reciprocation.
That kind of self-restraint is rare in reality TV, especially when emotions are running high. But in my opinion, Amanda’s calm exit shouldn’t have meant the issue was over. The rest of the family and the show treated it like a typical disagreement, when it was a moment that really deserved more reflection.
Tammy's words weren’t just hurtful, they were personal. She used Amanda’s recent heartbreak against her, which wasn’t just mean but emotionally insensitive. What’s frustrating is that the scene never led to a meaningful conversation.
No one checked in with Amanda. No one asked Tammy why she lashed out like that. And most importantly, no one asked her to apologize. That silence implies that Tammy’s behavior is still being excused, even after everything she’s been through and all the support she’s received.
Amanda has played the role of caretaker, protector, and straight-shooter in the Slaton family. She’s held others accountable when needed. But this time, the support she often gives others wasn’t returned to her.
If 1000-Lb Sisters wants to depict growth, then it also needs to show what happens when someone like Amanda is hurt. Walking away was mature—but it shouldn't have been the end of the conversation.
Tammy keeps dodging consequences and the show keeps letting it slide
The argument between Tammy and Amanda in season 6 of 1000-Lb Sisters isn’t just a one-time thing. Tammy has often spoken harshly to her family, and most of the time, nothing really comes of it. While the series documents a lot of her physical progress, it rarely shows Tammy being held accountable for how she treats the people around her.
This has happened before—whether it’s ignoring her doctor’s advice about vaping, shutting down conversations when she doesn’t want to talk, or saying hurtful things to her siblings. Instead of addressing it, the series usually cuts to another scene or lets Tammy explain things from her side, without showing how her actions affect others.
That’s unfair in my opinion, not just to her family but also to the viewers who’ve supported her through all her ups and downs. People want to see Tammy grow, but that growth should include how she talks to and treats her loved ones. It also puts extra pressure on Amanda and Chris, who always have to stay calm, walk away, or avoid making things worse. That shouldn’t be their response every time.
If 1000-Lb Sisters wants to show Tammy’s full journey, it needs to include the uncomfortable parts too. Apart from the weight loss, the series should also focus on how she learns to take responsibility.
