Tammy Slaton continues to post filtered photos on her Instagram profile, sharing a new carousel of selfies after sounding off on followers who criticized her photo editing.
The new batch of 10 selfies came after the 1000-Lb. Sisters star posted an an Instagram Reel on Friday, captioned “Over this stupid filter bull crap.” In the reel she addressed her critics.
“I keep seeing everybody say, ‘Stop using filters, stop using filters,’” Slaton, 37, had said. “Listen, I am not trying to be rude, but it’s my profile. And if I like using the filters, I will. And if you got a problem with it?”
She waved goodbye.
“Plain and simple, like, it’s my profile. If you’ve got a problem with it?” she repeated, before waving goodbye again and shrugging.
Slaton went on to say that posting photos is a way for her to “show off my hard work.”
“Seriously? Like, I don’t get it. I am proud of myself,” Tammy — who has been sharing her weight-loss journey since undergoing bariatric surgery in 2022 — said.
“So what? I use a filter.”
She went on to explain why she uses a filter to edit her selfies. “I don’t like the colorization in my cheeks. All the spots from the sun and the freckles,” Tammy said, pointing to her cheeks.
Tammy doesn’t always use filters, though; In May, she posted “six beautiful photos of myself without filters” — or an oxygen tube, following her dramatic weight loss.
But as Tammy pointed out in her most recent Reel, she’s taking a page from Taylor Swift’s book when it comes to the haters: She’s just going to Shake It Off.
The reality star shared a video of herself singing along to Swift’s 2014 hit — loudly singing the line “Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate” — from “Shake It Off” before laughing.
It’s been an emotional time for the reality star, whose husband Caleb Willingham, died earlier this summer at age 40.
Tammy was joined by her family, including sister and co-star Amy Slaton, at his funeral July 30 in Ohio. Tammy wore a black dress and was seen holding a bouquet of flowers as she sat with friends and family of her husband.
The two met at Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Ohio, where they got married last November after a brief engagement.
The couple were reportedly estranged at the time of his death, according to Deadline. However, as Tammy told told PEOPLE exclusively at the time, “He was my best friend and I loved him dearly.”
