1000-lb Sisters season 6, but she may come to find that she's better suited for a co-starring position. Being a reality television star may look like fun, but it isn't all fun and games. It leaves people open to a level of scrutiny that most people never have to face. The show's main stars are 38-year-old Tammy Slaton and 37-year-old Amy Slaton, but their siblings are also on the show, including 44-year-old Amanda.
Amanda didn't even appear in the first few seasons of the show, as she was going through a divorce, but she's come a long way since. Her star rose rapidly, and, by the time 1000-lb Sisters season 6 rolled around, Amanda was a fan favorite. She got more screen time than ever, and her famous sisters had to share the spotlight. Amanda may be enjoying her new position as a big star now, but she may come to resent the scrutiny that it leaves her open to.
Tammy & Amanda Have Been Butting Heads
Mixing Family & Business Led To Trouble
Several of the Slatons are hot-headed, so there's never a shortage of conflict on 1000-lb Sisters. The show's most recent fight was between Tammy and Amanda. Tammy was renting a house owned by Amanda, and accused her of not making repairs in a timely manner. The two fought bitterly during a family meeting, and Tammy stormed out. They didn't speak for months after the fight, but eventually made up.
Amanda's Love Life Is Taking Center Stage
"Three Months And A Lifetime To Go"
The reason Amanda didn't appear in the first few seasons of 1000-lb Sisters is that she was going through a divorce. As a single woman, Amanda's love life has been highly entertaining. After being dumped unceremoniously by her last boyfriend, Amanda recently posted a TikTok about her new relationship and introduced her new boyfriend, Leonard Moore, to her social media followers. "Three months and a lifetime to go," reads Amanda's caption.
Being The Star Is Too Much Pressure
Amanda May Not Like The Scrutiny
Over the years, Tammy and Amy learned to get used to the enormous pressure they were under due to being the stars of 1000-lb Sisters. Living a life on television is no easy task, as such a celebrity will be under a microscope, enduring constant criticism. Amanda may like the new attention she's getting due to all the extra screen time, but she find the pressure less tolerable as time goes by.
