Who is Jerry Sykes? Meet '1000-lb Sisters' star Tammy Slaton's boyfriend whom sister Amy and fans don't approve
Tammy Slaton introduced her boyfriend Jerry Sykes on her Twitter account (@QueenTammy86) last year. She posted a couple of selfies with him, captioning "bae for life".
The star of '1000-lb Sisters' became popular even before landing the TLC show which has her sister, Amy Slaton, as the lead. A majority of the Slaton Sisters Fanclub saw Tammy in a negative light since the show began because she dominated and disrespected Amy on numerous occasions.
Tammy has been receiving a lot of hate from fans and didn't get any support when she found her new boyfriend. After she shared the post on her account, a lot of people in the comments started to make shocking revelations about the man she was dating, and Tammy defending him made matters worse.
Who is Tammy Slaton's boyfriend Jerry Sykes?
Though not much is known about what Jerry Sykes does for living, a couple of people who allegedly know him have revealed some disturbing details about the man who has Tammy's heart. "He has been with 4 reality show girls — Kelly, Nicole, Roshanda and now Tammy. He needs to stop taking advance of these girls," a user commented on Tammy's post, and the TV star was quick to reply in defense of Jerry.
"Just stay out of my business dang I was with him before I got on TV Jerry. I've been talking for going on 4 years now," Tammy tweeted back.
A couple of other users also pointed out that Jerry is married with kids, and Tammy is wrong for dating someone who already has things to take care of. However, this was not news to her and she knew about his existing relationship.
"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.
Tammy also said it in one of the videos that she made for her YouTube. "Call me a homewrecker if you want to but if he ain't happy at home then what is the problem? Forget it!"

What does Amy Slaton think of Tammy and Jerry's relationship?
A press release from TLC about Season 2 states, "Tammy is head over heels for her boyfriend Jerry, whom she met in person once last year in Atlanta. Now, he’s agreed to visit her in Kentucky, and Tammy hopes this means he’s ready to take their relationship to the next level. However, when Tammy’s siblings discover the details of how they met, they worry that Jerry could sabotage Tammy’s weight loss goals and distract her from making her health a priority.”
Amy does not support Tammy and Jerry's relationship at all. According to a preview for what's yet to come in the season, Amy is seen questioning Jerry's intentions as he is fully supportive of Tammy's weight loss journey but also admitted that he likes big girls.
"I don't trust him," she said in the trailer. "She needs someone who's going to motivate her in this weight loss and not just want her to stay who she is."
