1000-LB. SISTERS Season 4 may be the final episodes of the popular TLC show, a source has exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
According to the insider, the 1000-Lb. Sisters star Tammy Slaton, 37, is considering a shift in her career as she searches for new jobs in modeling.
When talking about Tammy wanting to get into modeling and growing her platform, the source said: “Well, I can’t say if there is or is not going to be another season, but Tammy is looking at other opportunities.”
Tammy’s pal says she wants to prioritize a new career in plus-size modeling.
The source shared: “Tammy wants to represent people in her community who have been through what she has been through.”
SLATON SISTERS SPIN-OFF?
Previously, an insider said Tammy has been thinking about ending the contract with TLC for a while.
Back in February, the source claimed Tammy and her family are in talks with another production company to start filming a spin-off show.
According to the insider, tensions have been high between the Slaton family and producers, and they’ve been at odds over salaries and the narrative of the show.
The Slaton family and the film crew had high tensions while filming in Florida for the rumored final season in July.
Tammy and her siblings Amy Slaton, 35, Amanda Halterman, 42, and Chris Combs, 41, all reportedly had a huge fight while filming the TLC show by the beach.
TWISTED SISTERS
According to Tammy’s friend, the 1000-Lb. Sisters producers decided to take the whole family to Florida to film for the upcoming season.
Now that Tammy has lost enough weight, she can finally travel without major issues.
Although the crew wanted Florida to be a good time for the family, there was some major off-camera drama.
The insider has claimed the entire family got into a huge fight during their stay.
“The film crew was present, but they felt uncomfortable working with them because of the way they were behaving,” the source shared.
REALITY FAKERY
Tammy has also reportedly slammed the TLC producers for “faking the narrative,” particularly while filming her late husband Caleb Willingham’s funeral.
The 1000-Lb. Sisters star hosted a private ceremony in Kentucky on July 30 for her late husband Caleb – and a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Tammy felt TLC producers were “forcing drama.”
According to the insider, Tammy said: “The filming of the funeral was ‘completely not natural’ and things were put in there to make it seem sad when it really wasn’t that sad.”
The source relayed that Tammy shared: “People were having fun, but [TLC producers] made it depressing.”
Tammy’s friend said the star was concerned the way TLC filmed the funeral would spark rumors she was quitting her diet because of her grief.
The source claimed: “She isn’t emotionally relapsing or going back on her diet – she’s doing great.”
SAD GOODBYE
Although Tammy’s friend claimed the star felt the funeral was overall joyful, the 1000-Lb. Sisters star was caught on camera shedding a tear.
In photos obtained exclusively by The U.S. Sun, Tammy broke down in tears during an emotionally vulnerable moment.
Last Sunday, Tammy’s friends and family had an intimate gathering to help her say her final goodbyes.
Even though Caleb was originally from Indiana, they had the private ceremony a few minutes from Tammy’s home in Kentucky.
In the photos, the 1000-Lb. Sisters star wore a short black dress and brought a bouquet of colorful flowers.
At the sunset celebration of life, Tammy sat in the front row of folding chairs and became emotional.
She began to tear up and had to wipe a few aside as she had her sister Amy, 35, by her side.
