Throughout 1000-Lb Sisters season 7, Amy's made calls that don't always seem wrong, but don't seem to be getting her to any better a place, either.
With Amy focused on her sons, Gage and Glenn, and rebuilding her life after her divorce from Michael, it's become obvious that there's something going on off-screen that's keeping her a bit more pre-occupied than adjusting to life as a single mother. Amy's arrest in September 2024, wherein she was charged for drug possession and child endangerment at a drive-thru safari zoo, should've shifted her priorities, but it appears to have pushed her to double down on living the way she wants to. Knowing that there's been a lot of reckless behavior in Amy's past, her safety is a concern.
