1000-LB SISTERS’ Tammy Slaton danced to rap music on TikTok in rehab after fans accused her of “not taking her health crisis seriously.”
The 1,000-Lb Sisters star lost over 100 pounds at the facility after her lungs collapsed and she was put into a medically-induced coma.
Tammy, 35, posted another TikTok of her dancing to music and “vibing” as she is in rehab.
The star wore dark eye makeup and a dark lip and danced to her friend’s music.
She captioned her post: “Oh, it’s a vibe. Please go follow and listen to my friend hd music.”
Fans poured in supportive comments below the video.
One wrote: “I am so proud of your progress. You got this Tam-Tam. Remember, it’s progress, not perfection.”
A second said: “After seeing the last episode, I have to give credit where it’s due. I am proud of you for getting help and putting in the work.”
A third fan posted: “Literally brings me so much happiness to see you vibing and playing around. Keep working hard, Tammy.”
Yet a fourth cheered on: “So proud of you, Tammy! You got this, girl!”
A fifth wrote: “I just watched the most recent episode and what happened to you made me cry. You absolutely hit rock bottom.
“Only one way to go now! You got this!!”
OLD HABITS DIE HARD
Tammy had sparked concern on the TLC show with her partying, drinking, and smoking.
In one episode, Tammy was picked up by her friends to hang out.
During her confessional, she said: “We’ve just been drinking, vaping. As a teenager, I wasn’t doing any partying. I was super shy about my weight and I didn’t really have many friends.”
She added: “But now, I’m at the point where I don’t care. I’m gonna be me.”
Tammy told viewers: “We don’t eat healthily. Because for me, if I eat something like pizza or pizza rolls, the bread soaks up the alcohol and the grease helps so we don’t get too hungover.”
She also admitted to drinking eight bottles of liquor a week to cope with her mental health issues.
NEAR-DEATH ORDEAL
In the season finale, Chris, Tammy’s brother, revealed she was rushed to hospital one day after arriving at rehab because she couldn’t breathe.
Amanda, Tammy’s sister, said: “So at this point, you know, we’re facing making funeral arrangements for my little sister.”
“I’m just sitting here thinking, Oh my god. She’s been in such a bad place for so long. She waited too long. And now that she has the courage to step out and get the help that she needs, now this.”
Tammy was placed on a ventilator and then put into a medically-induced coma at the hospital.
“They didn’t know if she was going to make it through the night. Or make it through the next hour,” Chris said.
“And we stayed four days or so up there. And then the last day we were there, she woke up. And she kept telling us she loved us and wanted to go home.”
When Tammy woke up, she was given a tracheotomy – which involved having a breathing tube inserted in her throat.
After three weeks in hospital, she was able to return to rehab.
“I’m happy, I’m relieved, I’m still sad. I’m just grateful,” Amanda said. “I’m just like, good looking out up there, you know. Thanks. We prayed for a miracle and God gave us one.”
“She’s okay. She’s still alive. She has her life,” their other sister, Amy, added.
GETTING HELP
The Celeb Report exclusively revealed Tammy checked into rehab again for her weight after she sparked concern with her “reckless” behavior.
A source close to Tammy exclusively claimed to The Celeb Report: “She is in a facility and she’s getting help.”
The insider alleged: “This summer she was a bit reckless. There were times when I said, ‘You have a TV show about your weight. Why are you eating this?’
“I was very blunt with her.”
According to the source, Tammy admitted herself into the facility before the holidays.
They claimed: “She is doing it on her own. The show is not paying for it, she’s paying for it.
“She’s doing it on her own and she’s choosing to be close to eight hours away from her family.”
Tammy plans to remain at the facility until summer.
The insider explained: “I know that she wants to be out this summer. She has a goal for herself. Because again, she’s paying for this. She has a goal for herself to get out this summer.”

SHEDDING THE WEIGHT
The Celeb Report revealed Tammy has already lost 115lbs in just 30 days at the addiction facility and is now tipping the scales at around 556lbs.
“It’s a bit isolating, but I still think she’s in the best place,” Amy said. “She already asked us once to go there, I just knew I had to get her there and get her there fast.
“I think the last time I spoke to her she was about 556, 558. She misses us, she don’t know nobody up there [in Ohio], she’s making friends, but she don’t see Gage.
“I don’t think she’s dating anybody. I think Tony [in her TikTok videos] is just a friend. Usually, I speak to her daily, he [Gage] loves talking to her, we FaceTime.”
