The 1000-Lb Sisters star, who has stunned fans with her incredible 500+ pound weight loss transformation, is speaking out after facing harsh criticism online. The drama started when a photo of Tammy seemingly vaping surfaced — and the internet went wild.
But Tammy’s not here for the hate.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the 37-year-old reality star shut down the rumors, explaining exactly what’s going on. In a glam selfie showcasing her new slimmed-down face and fresh blonde hairstyle, Tammy included a bold message:
“Everyone freaking out about me vaping — it’s NOT nicotine. I haven’t smoked in over a year. SMH. Y’all always got something to say about everybody but yourselves.”
Tammy was asked to quit vaping to get her skin removal surgery. Since Tammy’s finally undergone the procedure, the photo made it look like she had picked up the bad habit again.
Tammy’s powerful comeback has sparked support from fans who’ve watched her undergo a truly life-changing journey — from weighing 725 pounds to undergoing major surgery to remove excess skin. Her transformation hasn’t been easy, and she’s made it clear: she doesn’t owe explanations to anyone.
While Tammy’s critics are quick to judge, her loyal supporters are cheering her on louder than ever.
One fan wrote on Twitter, “Let Tammy live! She’s come SO far and looks amazing.”
Another added, “Girl lost over 500 pounds and y’all worried about a vape pen that’s not even nicotine?!”
Tammy’s message is clear: she’s proud of how far she’s come — and she’s not letting internet trolls steal her shine.
Tammy Slaton recently made an appearance at a fan meet-and-greet, but the event took an unexpected turn online after a photo surfaced showing her using a vape and blowing out smoke. The image quickly spread, sparking criticism from some followers who felt disappointed, saying she was “undoing” all the hard work she had put into transforming her health.
Fans of 1000-Lb Sisters will remember that Tammy first started vaping back in Season 3 — during a particularly dark period in her life. At the time, she was overwhelmed and turned to vaping, drinking, and partying as a way to escape. She later admitted that vaping became a crutch that helped her manage her anxiety.
Now, despite her incredible 500-pound weight loss and recent skin removal surgery, the resurfaced habit has stirred mixed reactions — with some fans showing concern and others calling her out.
