The Slaton family has been slammed for their treatment of Tammy throughout her weight loss journey in fans don't trust Tammy's new crew of drinking buddies.
Unfortunately, Tammy hasn't made much time for friends during her weight loss endeavor. One reason why 1000-lb Sisters' audience hasn't gotten a glimpse of Tammy spending quality time with pals is the reality star has been cooped up in her home for years. Tammy shared that she's felt so insecure about her weight that she's hidden from the outside world to protect herself from judgment. While viewers haven't seen Tammy interact with friends, fans have become all too familiar with the entertainer's rapport with her family . Tammy's siblings have effectively acted as the star's caretakers and friends during her harrowing health venture, but it's the star's new clique that has fans concerned.
Throughout the Slaton clan's time in 1000-lb Sisters, Tammy's demonstrated that she's slow to trust her siblings and their guidance, but fans think the reality star should be more cautious around her group of drinking buddies than her brother and sisters. In a new 1000-lb Sisters season 3 scene, Tammy explained that in her time away from her sister, Amy Slaton, after their chaotic family vacation, she's opted to hang with her friends, Rob, Ralph, and JT. Tammy shared that they had spent the past couple of days partying, which consisted of the quartet drinking in Tammy's house and eating unhealthy food like pizza. Tammy confessed that she never partied as a teenager so she was trying to experience everything she'd missed out on, but fans aren't sure that Tammy's friends are as innocent as she makes them out to be.
Although Tammy claimed she's close with Rob, Ralph, and JT, some 1000-lb Sisters fans aren't sure they're as close as Tammy believes. A Reddit noted, "The men drinking with Tammy... were longtime friends, but I didn't recognize them." Viewers think that Tammy's trio of drinking buddies aren't actually interested in being the TV personality's close friends. A fan assessed, "You can tell they are just there and not genuinely friends with Tammy." This assertion was made based on Tammy providing the funds for the crew to buy alcohol and her apartment as their party venue. Some skeptical viewers think Rob, Ralph, and JT might have been hired by the TLC network to hang out with Tammy. A viewer pointed out, "Did you notice she literally struggled to NAME THEM??... These are TLC plants." Whether they're paid by Tammy or TLC, viewers don't trust Tammy's party pals.
Tammy's decision to get drunk and eat junk food is reckless enough, but 1000-lb Sisters fans think the men she's choosing to party with have ulterior motives for hanging out with Tammy. From raging on Tammy's dime to acting on TLC's behalf, viewers are suspicious of Rob, Ralph, and JT. Unfortunately, 1000-lb Sisters fans agree Tammy needs friends that inspire her to keep up with her weight loss journey, not pals that enable her unhealthy habits.
