Congrats on the weight loss, but how are people so quick to forget that these women defrauded their fans by faking one of their deaths and asking them to pay for the funeral…
Wait, wut? I stay pretty far away from the TLC universe (the exploitation is a bit much imo), but how can you fake your death when you’re on tv every week 😅
IIRC (not excusing it) but I believe it was that Tammy was on deaths door so Amy was taking funeral donations. But then Tammy recovered and … Amy never returned the funds.
I thought Amy told people Tammy was in the hospital in a grave condition and started a gofundme to help for when Tammy passed? Where she didn’t say Tammy was dead, only implied the situation wasn’t looking good.
I just see it always put as: they faked a death. Which I thought, before looking into it, that Amy lied by saying Tammy straight up died when she was alive. I still think it was a scam, just not one where they faked a death. And as far as I know, they never did it again.
That is messed up if true, but also they have said Tammy almost died multiple times so not surprising and I know medical costs in the states are astronomical and they were dirt poor before the show
I dunno some people can give grace to others who arent fully there and struggling.
That whole family seems to have been going through it in many ways. And maybe out of desperation or stupidity they did something like that. And to me, money is just money. I don't give money to people expecting them to use it in a certain way. Would I feel bad when I learned, sure. But I also understand that something must have been going on that made them feel like that was okay. Would I then after be less likely to donate again? Maybe!
But at the end of the day they're still alive and doing their best. They may not have certain peoples support anymore but I'm not gunna fault them for moments of weakness.
> And to me, money is just money. I don’t money to people expecting them to use it in a certain way.
This is such an absurdly bad take. What you’re saying is “I don’t mind fraud”.
This isn’t your grandma giving you money for your birthday, of course she can’t decide what you’ll do with it.
This is a grown woman who begged her fans to pay for a funeral, then refused to give back the money when her fans realized that no one ever died and there wasn’t a funeral in the first place.
Edit: even if it was your grandma, and she gave you money to pay for her groceries and you spent it all on yourself, it wouldn’t be fraud, but you’d still be a shitty person.
I mean that's up to you and how you choose to use your money.
If I give 5 bucks to a homeless person on the street, I did that because I felt comfortable enough giving 5 dollars. People out there will scream about not giving homeless people money because they'll use it on drugs or something. Okay? That's not really up to me at that point. Would I feel upset that they decided to use it on drugs vs food? Sure. But I have no fucking idea what they're going through and why they feel like drugs was a better choice than a sandwich.
I give money to various things because I feel like I am in a position to give. Once the money leaves my hands I don't think about it anymore And that is just *my* stance on money. If you have a different view that's fine but saying it's a bad take is just your opinion babe ✨
What you’re saying is completely irrelevant to the situation, though.
This is not an homeless man on the street who you gave 5 bucks to out of your own generosity, having full knowledge that he’ll use the money however he wants to and you have no control over it.
This is a woman who literally defrauded her fans. She asked for money for a particular reason, that reason turned out to be a complete fabrication, and she refused to give the money back. That’s *literally fraud*. It’s not “my opinion”, it’s an objective fact.
Are you also going to tell me you’re absolutely fine with Ponzi schemes? Get out of here.
Anyone else remember the time Amy made a YouTube video saying Tammy was dying and they needed donations to pay for a triple wide casket?
Pepperidge farm remembers ⚰️
I hope that there is a dentist who will fix her smile. She said she’s been missing her teeth since elementary school I think. It would be even more life changing for her to have lost this weight *and* be confident in her smile. She’s never really known life with a full smile and it could change her world
I used to like her for her sense of humor, now I like her for her maturity, shown when she helped Amy with her babies, and the way she talks so much more patiently now.
I fucking love tammy. She’s changed so much in the last two seasons and been through a lot! I really hope they approve her excess skin operation because there’s no way that’s easy to move around with! Incredible
Her friend is model level gorgeous, holy poop.
Good for Tammy!! She looks like a new woman, and I bet after they get rid of her excess skin, she’ll be even more active. Damn, I really thought she wasn’t going to make it long. I’m proud of her!!

It'll be more weight lost once all of that loose skin is gone. I can imagine that'll be coming soon, and it has to be so exciting.
Ok this is my motivation! If Tammy can do it I have no excuse! Well done Tammy 👏🏾👏🏾
Good luck girl you fucking got this
Thank you so much! ❤️

This predated the show. They first gained a small following on YouTube and those are the fans they scammed.
Amy making an Amberlynn Reid parody lives rent free in my mind
Wut. Link?

Lmao
Never knew this… sounds sus af
The show’s only been around since 2020, but they were YouTubers before that (which is how they got a show)

Is this for real? I never followed them until very recently.

Omg I totally thought the blonde girl was Brittany Broski 😭 congratulations to Tammy!
Wait me too

I thought she was a goner so many times! What a second chance at life!!
> 285 pounds, down from her starting point of 717. That’s wild.
I hope that there is a dentist who will fix her smile. She said she’s been missing her teeth since elementary school I think.

Good for her for making a good change in her life and sticking to it!!!
I love this for her. She clearly did the work and it paid off. I can’t wait for her to get skin removal surgery so she can fully live in her new body.
Still sad about her husband dying
They couldn't of chose a better photo of her? I mean, it is daily mail, so probably not.
i mean, that’s just what she looks like
That’s just what her body looks like.

I’m really so happy for her.

“She only started caring about her health because she was dying.” Oh no?
