1000-Lb Sisters: “Heaven & Hell!”: Amy’s Arrest, Possible Engagement, Home Sale & More Drama Explained

Amy Slaton from 1000-lb Sisters appears to be starting a new chapter in her life following her recent arrest and has already listed her home for sale. Amy’s journey on reality TV began in 2020 when she was over 400 pounds, which made it difficult for her to do everyday tasks and limited her freedom. Amy’s obesity also hindered her ability to achieve her goals, such as starting a family or pursuing her interests. Thankfully, Amy realized her worth before it was too late. She consulted a doctor and ultimately underwent bariatric surgery, which helped her lose weight.

Amy wasted no time becoming a mother after losing over 250 pounds. Following weight-loss surgery, Amy quickly became pregnant and welcomed her first son, Gage, in 2020. Even though Amy gained some pregnancy weight, she wasn’t discouraged from having another baby. Just a year later, in mid-2021, she was pregnant again and was blessed with her second son, Glenn. Amy appeared to be on the right track with her postpartum weight loss and parenting journey. However, struggles in her marriage led her to file for divorce from her husband, Michael Halterman, in 2023.

Amy Got Arrested & Mom-Shamed

Amy Faces Allegations Of Neglecting Her Children

Recently, Amy stunned all 1000-lb Sisters season 6 viewers when she landed in jail for drug possession. The drama began when the Dixon resident visited a zoo with her sons and one of her friends, Brian Scott. She seemed happy and excited to be there. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when a camel bit Amy, causing her to pick up an injury. The situation pushed a zoo employee to call 911 and ask for help. When the police arrived, they quickly mapped out the accident scene. They also checked Amy’s car, where they found drugs.

The medics escorted Amy out on a stretcher. However, it wasn’t long before the police arrested her for drug possession and child endangerment. Amy appeared in court on September 5, pleading not guilty. Amy’s sister, Tammy Slaton, reportedly took the children home. Meanwhile, Amy’s brother, Chris Combs, paid the bail money to be released from jail. Amy has been receiving dozens of hateful messages and remarks due to her drug-related arrest. She has been criticized for her parenting and has been advised to improve herself.

Amy Slaton May Be Engaged

Amy Was Seen With A Ring On Her Finger

Amy isn’t the only one facing charges. Her friend, Brian, is also facing the consequences of drug possession. While there isn’t much public information about Amy’s relationship with Brian, photos posted by The Sun suggest that their friendship might be deeper than fans realize. Pictures from Amy’s release show her wearing what looks like an engagement ring and another photo shows her walking hand in hand with Brian after being released from police custody. The 1000-lb Sisters cast member may be in a romantic relationship with her friend.

She ended her marriage with Michael, her former husband, nearly a year ago. Amy divorced him and moved forward with her life. She may have started dating shortly after finalizing her divorce with Michael, which may be when she developed feelings for Brian. Perhaps the mom of two felt it was in the best interest of her children to progress quickly and become serious with her new partner. Nevertheless, Amy’s arrest is already casting doubts on her new relationship.

Amy’s Run-Down Home Is For Sale

Amy’s Home Is Listed For $69K

Amy used to live with Tammy in a duplex in Kentucky. The two ladies shared many adventures in that house, which became iconic on TLC‘s 1000-lb Sisters. Recently, Amy put the duplex up for sale, just two days after her arrest, asking interested buyers for $69k. According to TV Shows Ace, Amy’s home isn’t in the best condition. It’s full of overgrown grass, has a lawn filled with trash, and dirty rooftops. However, it’s a spacious house with “four beds, two baths, a new metal roof installed 4-6 years ago.”

Reports suggest that the duo was being held in Crockett County Jail. Chris, Amy’s brother, posted bail for Amy and her friend, paying nearly $20k. It appears that Amy is attempting to sell her home to repay her debt. She has listed the property for sale as it’s the most straightforward way for her to acquire enough funds quickly.

Amy’s Thinner But Is She Happier?

Is Amy Engaging in Substances For Temporary Pleasure?

Before her arrest, the 1000-lb Sisters cast member was thriving. She has lost nearly 150 pounds, seems healthy, and enjoys spending time with her friend, Ollisha Davis, while posting fun TikTok videos online. However, despite Amy’s joyful online presence, it seems she may be struggling internally. She’s likely still coping with the aftermath of her failed marriage and managing life as a single mother while managing her mental health issues.

Amy recently posted a video of herself singing. She appeared to be under the influence, as evidenced by her slurred voice and facial expressions. Other videos also show Amy looking high and relaxed. These posts suggest that she may be using certain substances for temporary enjoyment. Regardless, Amy’s behavior isn’t a healthy way to cope with her problems. It not only puts her in danger but could also lead Child Protective Services to remove her sons from her care potentially. Perhaps the 1000-lb Sisters cast member should consider seeking therapy to work through her midlife crisis.
