Fans Question Ashely Sutton’s Honesty in 1000-Lb Best Friends Season 3
With the premiere of 1000-Lb Best Friends Season 3 on TLC, viewers are excited to reconnect with the cast. However, Ashely Sutton, once a fan favorite, seems to have lost some support among the audience. What’s behind this shift in perception?
Doubts About Ashely’s Weight Loss Claims
In the season opener, Ashely proudly announced that she had lost approximately 100 pounds since the last season. While this is indeed a significant achievement, many fans are skeptical about the authenticity of her claims.
“Does anyone else feel like she’s aware of our concerns about her weight loss?” one Reddit user commented, sharing a screenshot from Ashely’s Instagram where she posed with Dr. Procter during her one-year check-up.
Other viewers echoed this sentiment:
“I’m really disappointed in her. I thought she was one of the good ones, but now she seems just as questionable as Meghan and Tina.”
“She doesn’t appear to have lost 100 pounds, and claiming that walking up a flight of stairs is a major accomplishment doesn’t come off as impressive.”
“Even though she was the heaviest after Vannessa lost weight, she has always acted superior. Initially, she was supportive of Vannessa because she hadn’t had surgery, thinking she could quickly surpass her once she did. That hasn’t happened, and it seems she can’t handle it.”
Concerns Over Onscreen Behavior
In addition to doubts about her weight loss, many fans are frustrated by the mean-spirited behavior exhibited by Ashely and Meghan Crumpler this season. Viewers feel that the two women have been particularly harsh toward Vannessa Cross.
In another Reddit discussion, one viewer expressed their anger over the treatment Vannessa received in the season premiere.
“I’m so upset. The mean girl tactics they’re using against Vannessa are unacceptable,” the original poster wrote. “I don’t know if there’s some behind-the-scenes drama, but to treat a lifelong friend like that over criticism is beyond me. It feels like Ashely and Meghan are projecting their own insecurities.”
As the season unfolds, fans are left hoping for a shift in dynamics, as they rally for a more supportive environment among the friends.
