1000-Lb Sisters: Why Tammy Slaton Will Never Be A Ward Of The State

Tammy Slaton’s followers have called for her to be a ward of the state after years of her weight loss failure in 1000-lb Sisters, but skeptics don’t think Tammy will ever become the state of Kentucky’s responsibility. Chris Combs famously called for his troublesome sister to become a ward of the state as the Slaton family has cared for Tammy for her entire life, but viewers don’t think the Slatons will get off the hook anytime soon. From Tammy’s stubbornness to the Slaton clan’s reliance on Tammy, here’s why 1000-lb Sisters sisters fans believe Tammy Slaton will never be a ward of the state.

Unfortunately, Tammy hasn’t been able to take care of herself for some time. Although the TV personality insists that she wants to be self-sufficient, Tammy has relied on her relatives to care for her throughout her life as her weight and relationship with food have rendered her unable to lead an autonomous life. Tammy has struggled with a food addiction since she was a child and had to feed herself while her mother, Darlene, was busy working. Even as she’s assisted by her family members while living with Amy Slaton in 1000-lb Sisters, Tammy continues to give into her life-threatening addiction. Even though it would be best for Kentucky to intervene, 1000-lb Sisters fans think Tammy Slaton will never be a ward of the state.

Although Tammy committed to following through with her weight loss goals in 1000-lb Sisters season 1, she hasn’t been successful seeing her fitness ambitions through. Sadly, Tammy only appears to fall further from her weight loss goals with each season. Tammy’s fitness failure was cemented at the end of 1000-lb Sisters season 3 when she was rushed to the hospital because she lost her ability to breathe. Viewers believe Tammy needs to become a ward of the state of Kentucky because it’s unlikely she will be able to lose weight while living with her siblings who have a habit of catering to her. Although Chris has suggested making Tammy Kentucky’s responsibility, 1000-lb Sisters fans don’t think the Slaton family would give up the instigative sister. One Reddit user noted, “[The Slatons will] never make her a ward of the State. They need her to make a [paycheck].”

Regrettably, 1000-lb Sisters fans believe Tammy Slaton will never be a ward of the state because her siblings need her to star in the family’s reality series. Even though Tammy has only gained weight while starring in 1000-lb Sisters and living with Amy, the Slaton clan’s followers think the siblings would rather keep Tammy in their care than lose their show. Fans think Amy and her siblings are aware that viewers tune in for the conflict Tammy brings to the series and 1000-lb Sisters wouldn’t work without her. One viewer theorized that Tammy’s family cares more about cash than her health, sharing, “They’ll do anything to earn extra [money].” Additionally, fans don’t think Tammy has any interest in changing her routine as she gets everything she wants at home with Amy. Tammy established this when she left rehab prematurely to go back home in season 3’s premiere.

Tammy’s health has been in a crisis whenever she’s lived with Amy in 1000-lb Sisters, but viewers don’t have faith in the Slaton family members making the reality star a ward of the state. From Tammy’s contributions to the reality series to her sister’s enabling, fans think Tammy Slaton will never be a ward of the state. Hopefully, the Slatons discover Tammy’s health is more valuable than 1000-lb Sisters.
