DIXON, KENTUCKY: '1000-lb Sisters' star Amy Slaton has embarked on a courageous journey, taking on the most formidable role of her life – that of a devoted parent to her two children. Amid the emotional aftermath of her separation from Michael Halterman, with whom she welcomed her sons Gage and Glenn, Amy now finds herself navigating the uncharted waters of single motherhood.

In a poignant and heartfelt gesture, Amy celebrated a significant milestone in her son Glenn's life, marking his 11th month in this world. She took to social media to share a touching birthday post dedicated to her little one. However, it didn't take long for the watchful eyes of her loyal fans to discover an interesting detail in the photo she shared, prompting them to voice their concerns and criticisms.

'What the heck is with the filter?'

In the comments section, Amy was heavily criticized for using a makeup filter on her baby. One person firmly stated, "Stop putting filters on babies, they don't need them," while another remarked, "I assume there is a filter because she is also in the photo." Some individuals pointed out, "Filters aren't needed on babies. Show his cute natural self." Another comment read, "He's a boy - quit with the filters - he has better lashes than I do in this pic - and I'm sure he probably does naturally anyway- quit the filter b.s - your babies are so happy and healthy and bouncing - no need, girl… no need." Expressing their exasperation, one person questioned, "Why so much filters on all his pictures? Unnatural. Ugh." Another observant commenter added, "No one needs a filter, especially not a baby. No need to question why kids grow up with self-esteem issues."
