TAMMY Slaton has “lost her house because she can’t afford rent” amid pricey rehab stay, her sister has claimed.
The 1000-Lb Sisters star, who remains in rehab in Ohio for food addiction, was living in a $239K Kentucky duplex with her sister and co-star Amy before her sibling moved out.
The Celeb Report revealed pregnant Amy, who shares 15-month-old son Gage with husband Michael Halterman, has now bought a new $37.5K home, while Tammy has been in rehab for over a month.
Asked about her sibling’s time in the facility, Amy exclusively told The Celeb Report: “Tammy’s social security pays it, it takes her whole social security check, the show isn’t paying.
“That’s why I hear she doesn’t have a place to live because she can’t afford the rent.
“When she comes out she’ll stay with me for a little bit, soon as we find a place she’ll go there.”
Amy claimed their show’s network TLC had paid for the previous rehab stays for her sister and both are being paid an undisclosed amount for their TV work.
The Celeb Report has reached out to reps for a comment but did not hear back.
Amy added: “I’m not sure when she’s gonna come back, but I know that she’s getting the help she needs.
“If she needs to be up there for a year, two years, that’s fine. She needs the help.”
The duplex has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, of which Amy and Tammy lived on their respective sides up until Amy moved out.
Tammy’s space appeared to be tight and cluttered in scenes from the show, as she struggled to get through door frames and small hallways.
Her side of the duplex included a living room with a couch, a small table, and a television.
Amy, 34, previously told The Celeb Report she feared her sister could die after her lungs collapsed and she was put into a medically-induced coma.
She also slammed her “bad boy” ex-boyfriends and begged her to pick men who “support” her weight loss.
“I didn’t like any of her boyfriends, they were cool to talk to but not [suitable for a] relationship,” Amy said previously.
TAMMY’S REHAB BATTLE
She continued: “I know how Tammy gets, she loses herself in a relationship, she puts her heart and soul into it.
“She don’t care what they eat is unhealthy or not. She’s like, ‘What do you want to eat? Pizza? Ok, let’s go get it.’ She was not worried about the repercussions to her body.
“These guys were not bringing out the best in her, this one guy just wanted fat women, it’s not good when you’re trying to lose weight.
“I hope she meets someone who supports her, and I hope she has some kind of surgery when she comes out of rehab.”
FANS PRAISE TAMMY
Meanwhile, Tammy was praised for “looking good” as the star shared new selfies snapped from rehab after losing over 100lbs.
In her signature style, she posted the photo without a caption as fans posted comments wishing her well and encouraging her to stick with her weight loss journey.
One fan wrote: “Hey, Tammy! I pray you are doing well. You are looking better.”
A second encouraged: “Keep going! We were so happy to see that you reached out for help. You’re on your way!”
