'1000-LB Sisters' Tammy Slaton's Massive 500-Pound Weight Loss Sparks Jealousy Claims

Tammy Slaton's dramatic 500-pound weight loss is earning applause from fans, but behind the scenes, it is reportedly tearing her family apart.
Last year, the "1000-LB Sisters" star proudly marked a combined 2,078-pound weight loss with her fellow "weight loss warriors" in a viral video celebrating their shared transformation.
Now, a source says Tammy Slaton is accusing her sister, Amanda Halterman, of being jealous of her success, suggesting that her triumph may have set off some family tension.
Tammy Slaton's Sister Amanda Halterman Is Reportedly Shocked By The Accusations
Tammy may be hitting major milestones on her weight loss journey, but things are reportedly falling apart at home, especially with her sister. According to an insider:
"Tammy has been going on and on about how Amanda is jealous of her now that she's lost weight. She's convinced of it."
They also claim that Halterman was blindsided by the accusation, especially given that she has always supported Tammy through the ups and downs.
"They got into it over something, the way sisters sometimes do, and instead of dealing with it like an adult, Tammy resorted to this bizarre accusation that Amanda is jealous of her," the informant added.
Both sisters once shared a common goal, shedding pounds and improving their health. Halterman, who weighed over 400 pounds at one point, worked alongside Tammy as they pushed through personal struggles.
But after Tammy underwent bariatric surgery in 2022 and spent more than a year in a weight loss clinic, her massive transformation reportedly shifted the dynamic between them.
While Halterman has long been seen as the blunt but supportive sibling on TlC's "1000-LB Sisters," insiders told In Touch that Tammy's recent attitude has taken a turn, sparking tension.
Tammy's Feud With Her Older Sibling Is Reportedly Splitting The Family
What started as a rift between Tammy and Halterman is now affecting everyone around them. A source close to the family says the two have been "going back and forth," and the tension is putting their relatives in an uncomfortable spot.
"It's very awkward for Amy and the rest of the family because they are getting put in the middle," they shared. The insider claims that Tammy's not budging either, claiming that she is leaning into the drama and pushing others to choose a side.
"Tammy is not backing down on this and is being very catty about it. She wants everyone to pick sides," they explained. The person also noted that Halterman's feelings are hurt, but the hope is that Salton's behavior will settle as she gains confidence in her new life.
For now, though, the silence and sidestepping inside the family are only making things worse. As the source put it plainly, "It's so childish, but unfortunately no one has the guts to address it head on, so there's just a lot of whispering and talking around it. It's caused a lot of tension."
