‘1000-Lb Best Friends’ Tina Arnold Rips Production As Disgusting
Former TLC star Tina Arnold is absolutely furious with the 1000-Lb Best Friends production team. Although she had a starring role in the first two seasons, she’s moved on and feels confident in her decision.
In recent weeks, she’s blasted Vannessa Cross as a “cash cow,” but now she’s taking shots at the network and production teams too.
What set her off?
Tina Arnold SLAMS TLC and 1000-Lb Best Friends
Season 3 marks the first season that Tina Arnold isn’t part of the show. She previously cited several issues with 1000-Lb Best Friends and ultimately decided to part ways with it.
Season 2 viewers remember that she backed out of her bariatric surgery at the last minute. Tina said she wasn’t interested in weight loss surgery, but TLC allegedly wasn’t interested in keeping her on the show if she wouldn’t go through with it. The fall-out let to Tina’s departure, but she’s still active on social media and has plenty to say about the show.
“Anyone have any context? I saw this on Meghan’s IG comments,” one viewer wrote on Reddit. “I get that we only see a snippet of what really happened, but I can’t see Vannessa being the issue here.
They attached a screenshot of Tina’s comment, which is riddled with rage.
“I haven’t seen the show, but I lived it off camera and network should be ashamed of themselves for painting y’all as ‘mean girls’ (according to internet comments),” Tina wrote online. “They know exactly what happened and still choose to make some people out as victims when they absolutely were not victims of anyone but themselves. Disgusting.”
No one really seemed to know what Tina was talking about here. Although 1000-Lb Best Friends users understand they aren’t aware of every behind-the-scenes interaction, they think Meghan, Ashely, and Tina have been responsible for a lot of the drama.
Redditors Aren’t Interested In Hearing From The Former TLC Star
In the thread, Redditors shared their thoughts and opinions. Many didn’t believe that Tina hadn’t actually watched the show, especially when she was on it.
“I haven’t seen the show [that’s half of my username]” one annoyed Redditor wrote in the comments.
Other comments included:
- “Why is she even speaking on this?? Girl you’re not on the show anymore so so take that 1kbf s**t off your username and take more of your horrible photos of Walmart parking lots 😂😂”
- “Tina needs to refrain from the attention thirst and gracefully retire from the public sphere. 🤔”
- “So now it’s 3 on 1 all of them versus Vannessa, got it.”
- “From the original mean girl”
Catch the new episode of 1000-Lb Best Friends next Tuesday night at 10 PM Eastern time on TLC.
