1000-lb Sisters star slammed by fans after trying to blame sister for weight gain

A much-loved 1000-lb Sisters star has been brutally slammed by fans and critics after trying to blame her sister for weight gain.

In the hit TLC series, which followers sisters Amy and Tammy Slaton, the two sisters can be seen embarking on their weight loss journeys.

Amy, 35, recently shed a reported 125lbs (8.9 stone) after undergoing a gruelling weight loss journey.

While her sister Tammy, 36, recently shed a whopping 300lbs (21.4 stone) following a scary weight loss surgery and a medical incident, that led to her being placed on life support.

But fans of the hit TV show have pointed out how Tammy always appears to "blame" her sister for cheating her diet and gaining weight.

Taking to Reddit, one fan posted a lengthy piece about whether or not Amy was at fault for Tammy's cheating and over eating.

"I'm only in the middle of Season 3 but my best friend and I are watching this show together. I often find myself annoyed at Tammy for blaming Amy for her cheating and over eating," the Reddit user penned.

"Tammy cheated with pizza and a hamburger (different days) and their brother Chris asked how she got those, and she blames Amy. NOT the first time too. I feel bad for Amy.

"I can completely get not wanting to be make someone you care for unhappy and the show doesn't show how Tammy acts if Amy tries to say no.

"Out of experience with dealing with my dad when he was on a diet, any little thing said would have him yelling at me. So I imagine Tammy probably yelling at Amy."

The fan went on: "Plus Amy is right IMO [in my opinion]. She is like a mother to Tammy and Tammy doesn't appreciate it.

"I just have to give a sarcastic laugh every time Tammy says she's independent. Like No .. no you are not. You have Amy shopping for you and whatever else and you have a nurse helping you."

They later added that if Amy "had a backbone and just stood up to Tammy" then she "wouldn't have a chance to cheat".

The user then branded Tammy a "food addict" and said that "anything tempting will just end up in her mouth".

"She can't help herself and Amy keeps talking about Tammy needing to do better so be the enforcer," they then concluded before asking for other fans' opinions.

One person said that Amy is "definitely an enabler," while another said that Tammy is "accountable" for what she decides to do.

A third person defended Amy and said: "Unless Amy is physically lifting the fork to Tammy's mouth, then no. We are responsible for the choices we make. Every bite is a choice."

But a fourth brutally slammed Tammy when they said: "Tammy would and has just ordered food delivery anyway, with or without Amy's help. Tammy is accountable for Tammy's actions, and she alone."
