1000-lb sisters star Tammy Slaton responds to rumours that Amy Slaton is pregnant and sister-in-law is dead

1000-lb sisters star Tammy Slaton responds to rumours that Amy Slaton is pregnant and sister-in-law is dead

It can't be easy hearing rumours about people you know, but reality star Tammy Slaton has shared her thoughts.

Being famous sounds great sometimes, until you see all of the rumours spread around reality stars.

Whether it's lies about affairs, comments on weight gain, pregnancy speculation, or even questions over whether someone is alive, it must be strange to see people talking about a loved one.

1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has been praised by fans after she shut down rumours about her sister, Amy.

Posting on TikTok, the reality TV star hit back at claims that Amy is expecting her third child.

"I wish people would stop spreading rumoUrs but I’m here to tell you, Amy is not pregnant,” said an exasperated Tammy.

Amy, 37, already has two sons, Gage, 3, and Glenn, 2, with her ex-husband Michael Halterman.

Not only has Tammy seen rumours about her sister being pregnant, but she also had to tell people to stop claiming a family member had died. Ouch.

“[Brittany] did not pass away,” she fumed.

The Brittany in question is Tammy's sister-in-law. She is married to Tammy and Amy's brother, Chris, and has also appeared on the show.

Fans rushed to the comment section to thank Tammy for clarifying, as they had been panicking about Brittany.

This isn't the first time Tammy has been forced to clap back either, after cruel trolls made nasty remarks about her teeth earlier this year.

She explained that dental work is expensive, telling the commenter: “With all due respect, I wish people like you would stop commenting crap like this.

"It's not helping my confidence. I was trying to keep my confidence boosted and seeing comments about my chin or my teeth doesn’t help."

Tammy continued: “I had to calm myself down before I replied because I really wanted to go off on you. I really wanted to tell you if you had a true problem with my teeth then pay for them yourself, but I don’t want to be that person. I don’t want to be rude.

“I’m trying to better my life and better myself. We should be lifting up people. It doesn’t matter if I’m missing teeth,” the star added.

“It’s sad. Why hate? Why can’t you just appreciate the hard work I’ve put in. Why can’t you just appreciate that I’m still alive. Yes, I have flaws. I’m human … But I’m not gonna let you or anyone else ruin my day.”

The sisters initially shot to fame on the TLC reality show documenting their weight loss attempts.

Tammy has since lost 440lbs, and Amy has lost more than 135lbs.

As well as losing weight, Tammy has seen other benefits, with her hair growing much longer and thicker.

“I kinda wanted to talk about my hair actually. If y’all have been watching, in the fourth season episode three you’ll see in the beginning I had red curly hair. My hair has actually grown in so much," she said happily.

“So the surgery has actually done wonderful for my hair and for my body and for my health. And for my everything!

“I’m proud of myself, I’m proud of my hair … it’s a work in progress.”
