1000 Lb Sisters: Slaton Family Only Comes Together For The Cameras? Fans Think It’s All Scripted!

Reality TV fandom is questioning whether the family dynamics on 1000 Lb Sisters are fine. A Reddit post brought together reality TV fans who discussed it. For the last few seasons, fans felt the family wasn’t as close as it used to be, and now the distance feels more than ever.

The siblings on 1000 Lb Sisters, excluding Amy and Tammy, all seemed closer to one another, as they got together much more than they do. Fans feel they only come together when cameras are around. How much of that is true? Keep reading to find out what fans are saying about them.

Fans Think Everyone On 1000 Lb Sisters Family Needs Therapy

A number of fans believe Amy and Tammy, with their siblings, need real therapy. On the 1000 Lb Sisters subreddit, fans agreed Amy and Tammy definitely need therapy. But they also suggested that the entire family seek professional help, rather than a group vacation or a team-building outing. One commenter joked, “Get a family discount,” while another said, “Every single person on TLC needs therapy.”

Fans called out the family as emotionally enmeshed, codependent, and unable to set boundaries. Even though Chris was praised for being calm, they think that he enables the chaos. Others blamed generational trauma, poor communication, and a lack of accountability. Fans think that until the whole family deals with their emotional baggage together, the unhealthy patterns won’t stop.

Viewers Think Amy & Tammy’s Family Only Hangs Out Together To Film 1000 Lb Sisters

Fans are speculating that the 1000 Lb Sisters family comes together only when there are cameras around. In a Reddit post, one fan wrote that Tammy said no one knows much about Andrea, apart from her mother. Fans asked the obvious question: if they’re truly that close, why hasn’t Andrea been around them more? A general consensus emerged that the siblings come together only when filming is underway.

Fans commented that they noticed things over the seasons. They recalled Amy saying she sometimes goes months without seeing her family. Others mentioned how Amy talked about spending holidays alone on old YouTube videos. Another said the siblings seemed distant, noting their energy is cold and awkward whenever they’re together. They believe they don’t interact much in real life, and family gatherings only happen when the cameras are rolling.

Fans also brought up past comments from Misty about their dad’s property being a “peace zone,” suggesting long-standing feuds. Redditors believe the constant cold-weather bickering pushed the siblings away. Some fans even think that Tammy is keeping Andrea away to avoid judgment or drama. Tammy also moved in with Andrea and is very happy about it. It could be that she is happy to have a fresh start away from her family.

So, fans think the closeness is exaggerated for TV. Many believe the siblings aren’t that deeply involved in Amy and Tammy’s lives until the show needs fresh drama or storylines. One fan stated that the family doesn’t feel close on the show anymore. For more 1000 Lb Sisters tea, follow TV Season & Spoilers.
