What Happened to Tammy Slaton? Fans Ask If She’s Acting “Superior” — or Just Unhappy

A year ago, Tammy Slaton was the comeback queen of reality TV. She had shed her old attitude along with hundreds of pounds, fought her way back from the brink, and fans were ready to forgive everything. Fast-forward to 1000-LB Sisters Season 9, and the fandom is asking a question that would have been unthinkable last year: what happened to Tammy?

According to reports on the latest episodes, viewers have watched Tammy brush off a genuine peace offering, pick fights over behavior she used to be famous for herself, and bring a cloud over a family trip across the ocean. The internet is officially split into two camps — and neither one is holding back.

1. The Olive Branch She Refused

During this week’s episode, Amanda tried to end the war. Per reports, she acknowledged that both sisters had said harsh things neither of them meant, and she was ready to make up. This was the moment fans had been waiting for — the thaw, the hug, the sisters moving on.

Tammy wasn’t interested. She brushed off Amanda’s attempt to reach out, and things reportedly got worse, not better. For viewers who remember the Tammy that used to preach about family being everything, the cold shoulder felt like a gut punch.

2. The Girls’ Night Hypocrisy Row

Then came the girls’ night out — and Tammy’s anger at Amy’s rowdy behavior. Here’s where the fandom really turned. The 1000-LB Sisters cast has always been loud and unfiltered, and Tammy was once the loudest person in every room. Now she’s the one policing the fun?

Fans called it out immediately. “Tammy is so focused on policing everyone else she forgets she needs to focus on herself,” one viewer wrote online, adding that she seems to forget she never hit all her own goals. The word “hypocrisy” is all over the comments — and it stings because the old clips prove their point.

3. The London Trip Hanging in the Balance

To make matters worse, all of this is happening as the family prepares for a trip to London, according to reports. After everything — the arguments, the walkouts, the rejected apologies — Tammy and Amy are reportedly angry with each other too.

The question now hanging over the season: can this family survive an international trip together? If the last few episodes are any indication, London might be less of a vacation and more of a pressure cooker with a passport.

4. Camp “Superior” vs. Camp “Still Unhappy”

So why is she acting this way? The fandom has two theories, and they’re at war.

Camp “Superior” believes the weight loss went to Tammy’s head. In this reading, Tammy thinks she has outgrown her family — that dropping the pounds made her a different class of person, and now she’s holding everyone to a new standard while forgetting how she acted in the past.

Camp “Still Unhappy” sees something sadder. As one viewer put it, maybe Tammy “isn’t as comfortable as she says she is with her new weight loss” — maybe watching Amy draw attention triggers old shame, and the sharp edges are armor, not arrogance. Others point out she’s still openly battling her own mental health struggles.

The truth is probably somewhere in between. A woman can be proud of losing hundreds of pounds and still not recognize herself in the mirror. Confidence and insecurity can absolutely share the same seat.

5. So — Has Tammy Changed, or Have We?

New episodes of 1000-LB Sisters air Tuesdays at 9pm ET on TLC — and with the London trip ahead, this family is about to be tested in front of a whole new continent.

Your turn: is Tammy acting superior — or is she still unhappy inside? Pick your camp and defend it in the comments. No fence-sitting allowed.
