Tammy Slaton has come such a extended way more than the previous year or so.

The 1000-Lb Sisters lead has received practically nothing but praise from TLC viewers and social media followers in the wake of her intense weight loss.

Now, having said that?

Slaton is facing a fresh round of criticism.

Criticism, we should really say, but also concern? as the 37-year old shared a new video this week of herself (clad in all black) and a pair of somewhat new mates, Haley Michelle and Paola Román.

?Three is the magic number #magic #spiritualsisters,? Tammy wrote as a caption to this video, which featured the trio spending time in a park.

This footage (posted under) marked the very first look of Michelle ? who calls herself the Paranormal Princess on the web ? and Román on Slaton?s account in almost a month.

Based on the several remarks, not everyone was thrilled about her return, either.

Many individuals are concerned about the influence and the motives of these girls.

?damn I enjoyed the last month without seeing the clout chasers,? the top rated comment on the post reads at the moment. ?Such a weird vibe.?

Another commented as follows: ?We don?t like them, Tammy girl.?

Michelle began becoming a frequent presence on Slaton?s social media earlier this year, seemingly out of nowhere.

Is she basically applying the veteran reality star for fame? For clicks? To see an raise in her personal levels of fame?

In April, for instance, the pair and Román went on a self-described girls trip, which they posted about quite a few instances.

?Spiritual Sisters , our powerful connection we don?t have to explain anything to anyone,? Michelle captioned an April 24 Instagram photo of her and Slaton. ?You are my Best Friend.?

It?s a sweet sentiment, of course.

On the very same trip, Michelle uploaded a image of her and Slaton with their feet dangling in a pool, writing along with it: ?Proud of you.?

Part the basis behind these worries stems from the reality that Tammy has been noticed on Instagram with her sibling, Amy Slaton, considering that January 2023.

In the wake of her husband passing away final summer time, Slaton stated she was now a lesbian.

This statement has also prompted a lot of to wonder regardless of whether or not Michelle is Tammy?s girlfriend, which may well lead to a diverse response from critics if it have been the case.

Tammy says otherwise, although.

In an April 29 TikTok video, Slaton, Michelle and Román danced along to Marshmello and Anne-Marie?s song ?Friends? as text on the screen spelled out the lyrics:

F-R-I-E-N-D-S / We?re just mates / So do not go appear at me with that appear in your eye.

Elsewhere, to her main credit, Slaton has lost hundreds of pounds considering that getting hospitalized on Season 4 of her TLC plan.

And a lot of observers out there continue to give her props for this achievement.

We?ll conclude with what one particular of them stated a handful of days ago:

Tammy is searching good! Y?all quit hating on her mates. She desires assistance from other locations and it appears like she?s having just that. I?m proud of her progress.
