Is Amy Slaton fat-shaming Amanda Halterman? '1000-lb Sisters' star defends herself after being mocked by sister
DIXON, KENTUCKY: In the latest jaw-dropping episode of '1000-lb Sisters' Season 5, the Slaton family gathered for a feast, serving up more than just food. As they chatted about their larger-than-life bodies, things took an unexpected turn when Amy Slaton inadvertently stepped on her sister's toes. While discussing her sister's size, Amy made a comment that raised eyebrows. But before the tension could linger, Amanda Halterman swooped in with a sassy interruption, declaring, "You don't call people fat, you call them thick." And just to drive the point home, she confidently asserted, "I'm thick in all the right places."
Amy then lightened the mood by saying, "I'm thick in all the wrong places." She playfully shared her desire to play mix-and-match with her belly fat, aiming for that perfect "a**." In a candid moment on '1000-lb Sisters' Season 5 Episode 7, Tammy Slaton couldn't resist poking fun at her sister, quipping, "B****, you've got the no a** at all syndrome." Amy, always ready with a comeback, laughed and fired back, "You almost got a no a** syndrome."
Just as the banter reached its peak, Chris Combs playfully interrupted the sisters' exchange. He couldn't resist joining the roast, hilariously pointing out Amy's unique fat redistribution, saying, "You kinda look like you got Old Man syndrome." With a mischievous grin, he added, "Whatever they had in their a** moves around to the front of their bellies." The trio erupted into laughter, proving that in the Slaton family, humor is just as hefty as love!
