'1000-lb Sisters' star Tammy Slaton is having a rough ride this season. People have been coming in hard at her from all quarters. Right from Dr Procter firing her as a patient after declaring that her chances of dying in the next five years are very high to fans trolling her endlessly for being too large, Tammy has seen it all. In fact, she even addressed that all the hate comments were affecting her. The only thing that seems going for her is her boyfriend Jerry Sykes, whom she's been talking to since 2016. 

Tammy introduced her boyfriend to everyone via her Twitter account (@QueenTammy 86) last year. She posted a couple of selfies with him, captioning it "bae for life".

While '1000-lb Sisters' show has catapulted Tammy Slaton and her sister Amy Slaton to superstardom, the former gets a lot of negativity and hate for being dominating towards her sister. Introducing her boyfriend Jerry on the show last season and talking about him on the current one also didn't help her much.

Who is Tammy Slaton's boyfriend Jerry Sykes?

There isn't much information out there on the Internet about Jerry Sykes. Tammy in an episode last season had revealed that her boyfriend was in his early 40s. The Internet too played a part in sourcing information about him and to say that 'it's disturbing' is an understatement. While the credibility of these comments that exposed him as a married man with kids was trying to take advantage of Tammy remained to be backed up with solid proof, Tammy confirmed that the part about him being married was true. 



 

What does Jerry Sykes do for a living?

Tammy had once revealed in an episode of the show that her boyfriend Jerry is in his 40s. This makes him almost a decade older than the 32-year-old star. She also revealed that he has a job but the exact details of his professional life are still under wraps and so is his net worth. 

"Call me a homewrecker if you want to"

"Are you aware that I'm no he's married y'all ain't telling me nothing I don't know how about y'all still outta my business y'all rube as hell instead of telling me I have no life or whatever apparently needed to y'all cuz ya trying to ruin mine," she tweeted once in response to people who were outing Jerry and his existing family.

She had also spoken about it in one of the videos on her Youtube channel where she said, "Call me a homewrecker if you want to but if he ain't happy at home then what is the problem? Forget it!"



 

What do Tammy Slaton fans think about Jerry Sykes?

Despite Tammy clearing the air about being in the know of Jerry's marriage, fans continue to spew hate at him. "Jerry the cheater! He’s married. #1000lbSisters" wrote a fan after last week's episode aired. "Alright how long do we think Tammy and jerry are gonna last.. he seems fishy #1000lbsisters wrote another fan. "Uh uh who crack head grandfather is this? Lmao, jerry what? #1000lbSisters" tweeted another. "Jerry seems questionable #1000lbSisters" read another tweet.
