1000-lb Sisters stars Tammy Slaton and Amanda Halterman have been embroiled in a season-long feud that is not only affecting their relationship but also straining family dynamics. Known for their fiery personalities, the Slatons often engage in volatile arguments, only to reconcile shortly thereafter. However, the latest clashes between 38-year-old Tammy and 43-year-old Amanda have escalated to unprecedented levels, leading to prolonged silence and tension that overshadowed their recent holiday festivities.
By the conclusion of season 6 of 1000-lb Sisters, despite sharing the same space again, the rift between the sisters left lasting ramifications. The fallout from their conflict prompted Tammy to seek a new living arrangement, which may also harm her relationship with her brother, Chris Combs, and his wife, Brittany Combs.
Understanding Tammy & Amanda’s Conflict
The Landlord-Tenant Dispute
A notable saying reflects the complications that arise when family becomes business: “family and business don’t mix.” This adage, articulated by Tammy’s brother Chris during season 6, became all too relevant. Tammy, who had been renting from Amanda, expressed dissatisfaction regarding her sister’s ability to address maintenance issues promptly. Tensions flared during a family meeting, resulting in an explosive argument that led to hurtful exchanges and Tammy’s decision to move out.
In her quest for a new place, Tammy faced challenges in finding suitable rentals. With limited options and a looming deadline after giving notice to Amanda, the situation became urgent. While reconciliation was possible through open dialogue, the stubbornness of both sisters led to further complications, leaving Tammy in a tight spot as she lacked alternative living arrangements; previous experiences with family had often ended poorly.

A Missed Opportunity
How Their Dispute Affects Chris
A Helping Hand from Chris
With Tammy struggling to secure housing, her brother Chris stepped forward with a solution. Endeared to viewers for his unwavering support of family, Chris and his wife Brittany had recently acquired a house next to theirs, which they had intended to renovate for rental purposes. In a gesture of goodwill, they offered it to Tammy instead.
Chris expressed a desire to aid Tammy while remaining cautious about the implications for his marriage. As Tammy’s new accommodation was not yet ready, she temporarily moved in with Chris and Brittany, which added to the home’s existing busyness with Chris’s daughter and granddaughter already residing there. Despite his enthusiasm to help, Chris harbored concerns that living with Tammy could lead to more familial strife—a situation that could have been avoided had Tammy and Amanda chosen to communicate collaboratively.
