1000 Lb Sisters premiered in January 2020 to showcase the battle of the Slaton sisters with obesity. Tammy and Amy strictly followed a routine of exercises as well as diet. Although the picture gradually changed, and they started to lose motivation. The fan-favorite TLC show became more about drama and fights and lost its relevance. However, the audience still loved to watch Amy working on herself and undergoing bariatric surgery.
People wanted Tammy to take her weight issues seriously too. Still, things did not work until she landed in the hospital in a near-to-death situation. Eventually, Tammy made things better by working on herself. This could be why the latest season is doing quite well. However, a source recently revealed that the Slaton sisters are not getting paid as much as they deserve. Keep reading to know the bare minimum they earn!
1000 Lb Sisters: Tammy & Amy Are Considering Leaving The Show As TLC Refuses To Increase Their Salaries!
While weight is a significant concern for the cast members of 1000 Lb Sisters, so is money. The Slaton sisters and their brother, Chris Combs, are fan-favorites. However, a source recently revealed that the family members are considering leaving the network. The channel barely pays them anything, and they feel they could make better money with a different network. Only time can tell us if something of that sort will even happen. As per TheSun, Tammy Slaton takes up the maximum screen time of 1000 Lb Sisters Season 4 but only makes $3-4k every episode.
In the end, she is barely left with anything, especially when she lacks financial backing. Moreover, most of her earnings go into paying the rehab fee. On the other hand, Tammy’s half-sister, Amanda, who joined 1000 Lb Sisters in Season 3, takes only $700 per episode for her appearances. Further, Amy Slaton Halterman earns the most on the show, citing the number of people involved from her family. Besides Amy, her children, Gage and Glenn, also have a contract with the TLC channel. Although the kids’ money does not go into expenditure, the parents are saving up for their college tuition fees.
Everyone has also signed to film the second part of 1000 Lb Sisters Season 4, including Tammy Slaton’s husband, Caleb Willingham. The cast members cannot take any commercials during their shooting period with the network. This has further made the situation even tougher. Additionally, the family feels that the production needs to convey their story truthfully. The channel cuts out their deep and meaningful conversation and shows only bits of the recordings. Amidst such a tense situation, it becomes valid for the cast members to consider some other network. As of now, none of these theories have been confirmed.

It also claimed that the cast members are speaking to other channels for a spin-off show of the reality-tv series. What do you think is going to happen? The family would instead choose a better opportunity that fills their pockets than a trip to Greece. For more exciting news updates, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
