1000-Lb Sisters: How Amy Slaton Played Peacemaker For Her Feuding Sisters (She Brought Tammy And Amanda Together)

When her sisters were at each other's threats during 1000-lb Sisters season 6, it was Amy Slaton who played peacemaker and brought her family back together. It was an unexpected turn for the usually hot-headed 37-year-old single mother. In the past, it was usually Amy getting involved in these big family fights, but she has changed so much over the last few years.

When she made her television debut in 2020, Amy weighed over 400 pounds. Wanting to have children, Amy had bariatric surgery and lost a stunning 150 pounds. After having her two healthy children, Amy and her husband, Michael Halterman, got divorced in 2023. Since losing weight and having children, Amy has changed so much. Read on to learn more about how the 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star became the unexpected peacemaker of the Slaton family.

Tammy & Amanda's Feud Explained

Family & Business Don't Mix

The drama started when Amy's sisters, 38-year-old Tammy Slaton and 44-year-old Amanda Halterman butted heads over a rental agreement. Tammy had moved into a house owned by Amanda, and the 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star alleges Amanda didn't take care of home repairs right away. Tensions came to a head during an on-camera family meeting, where Tammy and Amanda's feud turned ugly. Tammy stormed out and said Amanda was dead to her. The sisters didn't speak for several months after the fight.

Tammy & Amanda Didn't Speak For Months

They Even Skipped Holiday Family Events

The Slatons get together annually to exchange gifts during the holiday, but last Christmas was different. Tammy attended the family tradition, alongside 37-year-old Amy Slaton, 44-year-old Chris Combs, and 48-year-old Misty Wentworth, but Amanda was conspicuously missing. Amanda refused to join her family because she wasn't ready to see Tammy, whom she hadn't spoken to for two months.
