'1000-lb Sisters' star Amanda Halterman has long maintained a strained relationship with her family, marked by frequent outbursts and aggressive behavior. One such incident even left her sister, Tammy Slaton, homeless. Amanda’s erratic actions have caused her family to grow increasingly uneasy around her. While many have speculated that her outbursts could be attributed to pain medications with side effects like irritability and mood swings, her recent behavior suggests there may be something deeper at play.

In recent '1000-lb Sisters' episodes, Amanda’s behavior has led to speculation that she may be smoking marijuana, a habit she has indirectly confirmed during her live sessions on social media. While she has admitted to smoking marijuana, she has also made it clear that she avoids doing so in front of her children. Although some may wonder if she is under the influence while interacting online, Amanda insists that she is not intoxicated during these sessions. Overall, her recent behavior has led to curiosity about whether substances beyond her prescribed medications could be influencing her actions.
