1000-Lb Sisters: Tammy Moving In Next Door To Chris Combs May Strain His Brittany Combs Marriage (Tammy's Stubbornness Could Ruin Everything)

After burning the rest of her bridges, 1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton moved next door to Chris Combs, and it could put a serious strain on his marriage. 38-year-old Tammy is an interesting personality, but she can also be difficult to get along with. She's very close to her siblings, but she's always butting heads with them. When Tammy made her television premiere, she weighed over 600 pounds and needed a lot of help with her day-to-day needs. That held her back from being independent, and things got worse as she went on to weigh 725 pounds at her heaviest.

Since weighing as much as 725 pounds, Tammy had bariatric surgery, and lost a stunning 500 pounds. Though the 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star is now physically capable of taking care of all of her daily needs, she never learned to be really independent, and still leans on her siblings. Tammy has a very stubborn personality, so she's not always easy to get along with. Losing weight improved Tammy's overall attitude, but she's still got a lot of work to do. Tammy moving next door to Chris may not be the best thing for his marriage to Brittany Combs.

Tammy's Not Easy To Live With

She Burns Bridges

Over the years, Tammy has lived with almost every one of her relatives. When she made her 2020 debut on 1000-lb Sisters, Tammy lived with her mother, Darlene Rednour, but she soon left and moved in with her sister, 37-year-old Amy Slaton. When Amy got married to Michael Halterman, Tammy could no longer live with her, so she moved into the house next door. The sisters shared the duplex for some time, which worked out well enough for Tammy.

Living in that house was a big step for Tammy, as it was the first time she'd lived alone. Though she still needed help with her daily needs, it was the most independent she'd ever been. Finally, Tammy had a place to call her own, and she loved being able to make some of her own decisions. At one point, Tammy got sick and had to check herself into a weight-loss rehabilitation facility, but she had planned to return to her house.

Tammy's House Was Robbed

She No Longer Felt Safe In Her Own Home

While Tammy was at weight loss rehab, her house was robbed, and all of her things were either stolen or trashed. She basically had to start from scratch, while navigating her weight loss journey. The 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star no longer felt safe living in the house, so she moved into a house owned by another sibling, 43-year-old Amanda Halterman. That situation worked for a while, as Tammy had her own space, but was still close to her family. The problems between the sisters started when Tammy accused Amanda of being a bad landlord.

Tammy Can No Longer Live With Amanda

She Accused Her Of Being A Bad Landlord

At one point during 1000-lb Sisters season 6, her brother, 44-year-old Chris Combs, had to come over to Tammy's house to put a plastic film over Tammy's broken window. Tammy alleges that one of Amanda's sons broke the window while horsing around, but that Amanda refuses to pay for it. The issue came to a head during a family meeting. Tammy and Amanda got into a huge fight, after which Tammy put in her notice that she'd be moving out of Amanda's house. Tammy also accused Amanda's sons of trashing her house.

The Slatons are a very close-knit family, so they're always together.

According to Tammy, Amanda's adult sons are always at her house. She alleges that the boys are always fooling around, breaking things, and eating all her food. She claims that they don't clean up after themselves, and she's tired of having to clean up after them. Tammy decided that she needed her own place, and, instead of taking time to find a new place, she blew things up with Amanda and had to vacate quickly. She could have easily made amends with Amanda, but Tammy was too stubborn, so she found herself without a place to live.

Tammy Could Damage Chris & Brittany's Marriage

Too Close For Comfort?

With Tammy blowing up her living situation, she suddenly found herself with no place to live. As usual, another member of the Slaton family came to her rescue. This time, it was her brother, Chris. As the only brother to his four sisters, Chris is the patriarch of the family. While many of the Slatons haven't been lucky in love, Chris is happily married to 36-year-old Brittany Combs. The couple had just bought the house next door to their own, with the intention of turning it into an investment property.

With Tammy needing a place to live, Chris decided to offer the place to Tammy.

This concerned Brittany, who pointed out that Tammy had lived with other family members, and it had ended badly. Though Chris is fully aware of Tammy's history, he would never let any member of his family end up homeless. When Chris brought Tammy over to show her the house, she too expressed concern about causing trouble for Chris and Brittany. At least Tammy has some self-awareness. For his part, Chris made it clear that though he'd do his best to help take care of his sister, he wouldn't let anything come between him and his wife.

This isn't a long-term solution to Tammy's living situation. The 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star recently expressed interest in leaving Kentucky for good. She's ironically trying to get away from her family, despite being the common denominator in most instances of the Slatons' family conflicts. If Tammy does ever leave Kentucky, she may come to discover that wherever she goes, there she is.
