1000-lb Sisters' Amy Slaton reunites with her sons after her September arrest

On September 2, 2024, Amy Slaton and her boyfriend, Brian Scott Lovvorn, were arrested on charges of possession of controlled substances and child endangerment. E! News reported that according to the Crockett County Sheriff's Department, the incident occurred during a zoo visit when Amy was bitten by a camel during a safari tour.

Responding deputies reportedly smelled marijuana coming from her vehicle and discovered both marijuana and illegal mushrooms inside. The children were present at the time of the arrest.

Following the incident, Amy’s sister, Amanda Halterman, was contacted and temporarily took custody of the children. The arrest report raised concerns among fans and family members, leading to speculation that Amy could lose permanent custody. However, Amy and Brian later entered a plea deal, resulting in two years of supervised probation, fines, and mandated alcohol and drug assessments.

Despite these developments, Amy’s recent social media post suggests the children have returned to her care. No official court documents have confirmed a custody ruling, but the photos seemingly hint at a change from the initial post-arrest arrangement.

1000-lb Sisters new season shows family intervention

The new season of 1000-Lb Sisters addresses the fallout from Amy’s arrest. A trailer, released in March 2025, previews an emotional confrontation between Amy and her siblings. Amanda Halterman expresses concerns over Amy's behavior following the incident. In the trailer, Amanda tells Amy, “We need to have a discussion,” to which Amy responds:

“This is not supposed to be an intervention. This sounds just like an intervention to me.”

Their brother, Chris Combs, also voices concerns, warning Amy that legal consequences could escalate.

“If the authorities throw the book at you, you’re looking at 30 years,” he tells her in the episode.

Amy describes the arrest as “the worst day of our lives.” She recalls that after the camel bite, the cops came in and started reading her rights. She later comments:

“They should be handcuffing the damn camel.”

1000-lb Sisters’ upcoming episodes will focus heavily on how the incident has affected family dynamics and Amy’s parental responsibilities.

Despite the arrest involving both of them, the footage indicates that Amy chose to continue their relationship. 1000-lb Sisters has not confirmed whether Brian plays an ongoing role in her children’s lives, but his presence in the trailer and connection to the legal case have drawn attention from both viewers and her family.
