‘1000-Lb Sisters’ Amy Slaton’s Pals Reportedly Want An Intervention For Her Amid Legal Woes
Amy Slaton‘s friends are seeking professional help for the reality star as she navigates her way through fame!
The “1000-Lb Sisters” star, who is caught in the middle of a child endangerment charge, reportedly began struggling with marital and mental issues since the doors of fame opened up for her.
Amy Slaton was in the news last month when she was transported outside the Tennessee Safari Park following an alleged camel bite.
Pals Say Amy Slaton’s Woes Worsened With The Cameras Around
According to friends of the TLC star, she has struggled with problems including bipolar disorder and a messy split from her ex, Michael Halterman, who filed for divorce last year after four years of marriage.
Her sudden erratic behavior has now become a major source of worry for her loved ones, as a source close to her admitted:
“Everyone in Amy’s life is petrified she’ll be six feet under unless something drastic happens. Her mood’s never been darker.”
The source confirmed to In Touch that “fans and people in her life feel she’s a victim of exploitation. These demons she’s had have been amplified to a toxic degree by putting her on camera.”
The Reality Star Was Charged With Two Counts Of Child Endangerment
Things seemingly took a turn for the worse last month when Amy visited the safari park with her two young sons, Glenn and Gage. The mother/son trio was also accompanied by a man named Brian Scott Lovvorn.
Amy’s unfortunate encounter with the camel prompted a 911 call, and upon the officers’ arrival, the TLC star met her arrest.
“Deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle,” shared the police department in their Facebook post, adding that Amy was “arrested on illegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule VI, and two counts of child endangerment.”
While the reality star pleaded not guilty to the charges during a court hearing on September 5, her friends were reportedly concerned about her well-being and her new relationship, which they described as “dark and deadly.
She is currently scheduled to appear back in Crockett County Court on November 7 on the charges.
The Zoo Owner Slammed Slaton’s Camel Bite Claim
The Blast reported that the zoo facility officials carefully dismissed the social media influencer’s report of being bitten by a camel at the zoo.
Jon Conley, the zoo’s co-owner, noted that there was no security footage to support Amy’s claim, and she would be the first visitor to complain of a camel bite.
Claude Conley, another co-owner, declared that they disputed Amy’s account because she had no bruising. Conley continued: “She cut her arm on something, it’s not consistent with an animal bite.”
Conley also recalled her male company “acting crazy, screaming and yelling.” She added that he became infuriated when the police arrived as he was only expecting an ambulance.
Pictures Of The Reality Star’s Camel Bite Surfaced Online
The rebuttal from the zoo officials did not deter new graphic evidence from dropping, and this time, revealing a painful wound on Amy’s arm.
The Crockett County Sheriff’s Department also corroborated Amy’s story by confirming a zoo employee reported a camel attack involving a visitor at the facility.
The picture showed Amy with a 4-centimeter wide section of skin chopped off from her right arm, near her inner elbow, giving way to raw tissue.
She was also spotted being wheeled out of the animal sightseeing structure on a stretcher a few minutes before she was arrested for drugs and child endangerment.
Amy Slaton Still Remains Innocent Until Proven Otherwise
From the beginning of the charges being leveled against her to her most recent court hearing, the Slaton sister is still presumed innocent. Following her arrest, the Sheriff’s department emphasized that investigations were still ongoing and no conviction had been made.
The office described “the charges and allegations referenced” in their press release as mere accusations of criminal conduct and not evidence. The department urged the public to bear in mind that Amy remained innocent until the court found her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
It is unsure what fate awaits Amy Slaton by November, but having friends who care about her is something.
