Whether it's exercise, doctors' appointments or therapy sessions, they'll rely on each other to get through it all. But with four big personalities, they are bound to ruffle each other's feathers. Will the gang be able to overcome their insecurities and self-doubt in time to attend their high school reunion as a fiercely fabulous, united front?"

Who is Ashely Sutton?

While fans are familiar with Vannessa Cross and Meghan Crumpler, who first appeared on 'Too Large', they are now introduced to Tina Arnold and Ashely Sutton, who are also close friends with the reality stars. While the rest of the cast is rather active on social media, it looks like Ashely keeps a relatively low profile, seeing that not much is known about her, other than that she lives in Atlanta, Georgia and that she is a Spelman College alumni. While she is present on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, it seems as though she's cleared out most of her social media before the show. You can follow her @ashthebff on Twitter, Ash Thebff on Facebook and her Instagram handle is ashthebff. 



 

Ashely mentioned that she is 36 years old and single and 'ready to mingle' in her video introduction. She's been struggling with weight for the past 30 years and even though she had gastric sleeve surgery, she somehow put back all the weight she lost. During the show, she weighed 378 lbs and hopes to lose that weight soon. 



 

'1000-lb Best Friends' premieres on TLC and discovery+ on Monday, February 7 at 10pm ET/PT.
