This sparked a fight between Meghan Crumpler and Vanessa Cross. Seeing '1000-Lb Best Friends' stars continuously fight over every small thing made fans wonder whether TLC has been framing the situation.

Some of the TLC fans took to Twitter to claim that the streaming platform is paid for decibels.

Fans call Meghan 'the whiniest f**king b**ch'

A few fans called out Meghan for creating the most noise on the show. "I swear, Megan has to be the whiniest fucking bitch on any TLC series ever. I can’t even watch this show anymore because I’m so sick of her WHINING. Poor me..wah wah. Leave me alone..wah wah. she absolutely ruins the show," tweeted a fan. Another wrote, "Mehgan worry about you take care of you. Instead of fighting and being an over grown adult toddler. Take a look at you. Vanessa has always been loud and crazy fun. She was cheering you. Hurting from a splinter is stupid." A fan called out the wellness retreat for being the reason behind the noise in the show, "I know these women need exercise but this Fit Farm is too much. Tina said it well. Loud noises are not motivating. The whole experience wouldn’t set anyone up to set up an exercise plan." Another wrote, "I can’t with Meghan you’re mad because you have a splinter in your finger normally a 2 year old act like that but you are a grown women having a temper tantrum about your finger."
