ATLANTA, GEORGIA: '1000-lb Best Friends' star Tina Arnold has embarked on a new entrepreneurial journey, recently launching her own business as she seeks to diversify her income streams in the wake of rumored job loss. As she navigates these financial challenges, she has turned to selling products to generate extra cash. However, her efforts have ignited controversy, with accusations that she is capitalizing on her husband Johnnie's medical condition.

Tina took to social media to promote a series of photo frames, claiming that the proceeds would cover Johnnie's medical expenses. After suffering a shoulder injury, Johnnie has been placed on short-term disability, prompting Tina to emphasize the importance of raising funds for his care. The frames are priced at $30 each or $55 for a pair, but rather than garnering support, Tina has faced backlash for her approach. Critics argue that her focus on selling products rather than seeking stable employment raises ethical concerns. Many believe the situation could be better handled without the commercial aspect, leading to a heated debate among her followers.
