Amber Eggers and Michelle 'Puppy' Deaton's relationship is made for reality TV. They have served drama like no other on 'Love After Lockup', especially with the sexuality and plotting angles, which have undoubtedly intensified their storyline. But fans are focusing elsewhere.

Amber found herself defending Puppy when users pointed out the latter's weight loss transformation. Most were curious as to how Puppy looked strikingly different in the latest episode, when she looked healthier in the earlier one. 

While some were in awe of her new look, others pointed out that she could be doing drugs. Amber was quick to set the record straight and wrote an Instagram post: "we couldnt film for several months due to covid. She got out in winter... We didnt film again til beginning of fall."

"What drugs is Puppy on?" a viewer asked. "shes even skinnier here. that meth will take you out," another expressed. 

However, there were a few who defended both Amber and Puppy and the whole weight loss drama. "people think this was filmed last week! Lol TV world filmed in advance," one explained, another commented: "didn’t say 1 thing abt her being back on drugs or anything like many so you don’t have to say it like that... time flys & no definitely didn’t know Its been that long.. but she looks absolutely beautiful & i hope things are going well."



 

And this brings us to the next question— are Amber and Puppy still together? Well, given their social media updates, it seems like they survived their arguments and powered through the show but then again, they signed contracts before taking up shows. So with them, it's never really what you see is what you get.
