Is Amanda Halterman Really the Glue of the 1000-Lb Sisters Family?
In a recent episode of 1000-Lb Sisters, Amanda Halterman boldly claimed that she is the glue holding her family together. But is that assertion accurate?
Fans have witnessed the siblings navigate numerous challenges, including emotional blow-ups and conflicts. It takes a significant effort to maintain family harmony, but is Amanda truly the one responsible for it all?
The Current State of Amanda and Tammy’s Relationship
At present, Amanda and her sister Tammy Slaton are not on speaking terms. In the latest episode, Amanda expressed her frustration at feeling like the family’s caretaker. But how valid is her claim?
One viewer on Reddit commented, “I’m watching the new episode where Amanda talks about being the family glue, but I don’t think she deserves that title. I believe Chris is more deserving; he continually tries to bring everyone back together and is always there for support during conflicts.”
The original poster (OP) noted that while Amanda has supported Amy through her divorce and Tammy during her rehab, they feel she often prioritizes her own interests over truly uniting the family.
Fans Rally Around Chris as the True Family Glue
While 1000-Lb Sisters fans generally have a fondness for Chris Combs, many believe he plays a more crucial role in keeping the family united. Some Reddit users argue that without the show, the siblings might not even interact.
“Anyone who witnessed Amy and Tammy’s antics on YouTube before the show knows that the series is the real glue for this family! The siblings had little to do with each other before the money started flowing in!” one user pointed out.
Other comments echoed this sentiment:
- “Absolutely. Without the show, other than Tammy and Amy, these family members wouldn’t even see each other. Now, thanks to TLC, they’re constantly going on these strange family outings.”
- “I can’t help but think about the lack of family at Amy and Michael’s wedding—it really speaks volumes.”
- “Amanda keeps score. She helps family members but definitely expects something in return, whereas Chris lends a hand out of genuine kindness without any expectations.”
As the dynamics within the Halterman-Slaton family continue to unfold, it remains to be seen who truly holds the family together. While Amanda may feel like the glue, many fans believe it’s a collective effort—one that might not even exist without the platform provided by TLC.
