1000-Lb Sisters: Tammy Slaton’s Heartbreaking News About Family Member Proves She Didn’t Leave Kentucky

1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton recently revealed some heartbreaking news about a family member that could change everything for the Slatons. The show is about 38-year-old Tammy and her 37-year-old sister, Amy Slaton, but the rest of the Slaton family is a big part of the story. The Slatons are a close-knit family, so when one of them is in trouble, the others all gather around to help.

The Slaton’s unique family dynamic is one of the best things about the show. With 1000-lb Sisters season 6 recently airing, the Slatons were as close as ever as they pursued their health and fitness journeys. Tammy has been known to grow frustrated with her family and has even threatened to leave Kentucky to escape them. Recently, Tammy revealed some heartbreaking news about a beloved cousin, and it could keep her from leaving the state.

The Slatons Are A Close-Knit Family

They Do Everything Together

The Slatons are an eccentric bunch, and they love to spend time together, even though they get on each other’s nerves sometimes. They’re always there for each other in times of need, and they’ve even pursued weight loss together. They’re so close that during 1000-lb Sisters season 6, they even went to see the doctor together, each Slaton taking their turn getting weighed in.

With the Slatons being so close, news that Tammy’s cousin, Katie Slaton, had stage four cancer shook Tammy and the Slaton family to their core. Tammy took to Instagram to promote a GoFundMe for Katie. “Y’all I’m so sorry to be asking a big favor like this but if anyone can help even if it’s a dollar would help my cousin out so much,” Tammy wrote. She went on to add that Katie was a part of 1000-Lb Sisters. “Anything and everything is greatly appreciated.” Tammy said even if no one donate, they can pray for Katie.

She Wants To Be Near Family During This Time

During 1000-lb Sisters season 6, Tammy repeatedly threatened to leave Kentucky. She was feeling stiffed by her close-knit family and was eager to flex her independence.
