DIXON, KENTUCKY: '1000-lb Sisters' stars Brittany and Chris Combs are still together and trying to move forward together, having navigated their share of challenges in the past. However, a new wave of turmoil has swept into their lives, testing the strength of their bond. Recently, Chris decided to invite his sister, Tammy Slaton, to move in with them after she was kicked out by her other sisters, Amy Slaton and Amanda Halterman.

Chris's intentions were rooted in love and support for Tammy, wanting to offer her a safe haven during a turbulent time. However, as he extended this helping hand, tensions began to brew at home. In his eagerness to assist, Chris's words sometimes crossed the line, inadvertently causing hurt to Brittany. While he focused on the renovations needed for the place he offered to Tammy, an old house that was far from perfect, Brittany felt sidelined in the decision-making process. The situation escalated when Chris and Tammy started discussing the changes needed for the house, brainstorming ideas, and sharing laughs. Brittany, wanting to be supportive, stepped in with her suggestions, hoping to contribute positively. But what began as a collaborative effort quickly turned into a heated debate, with both sides feeling misunderstood. Brittany's frustrations mounted as she realized that the support for Tammy was creating a rift in her own marriage, making her feel like an outsider in her own home. Additionally, the couple's previously private space has been invaded with Tammy's arrival adding an unexpected layer of complexity to their relationship.
