She claimed that they were good friends and that she loved her. Another person asked Haley why she used the hashtag #1000-Lb.Sisters if she didn’t have ulterior motives, and then added, “it’s giving clout chaser.”
Six hours after their selfie was posted, the pair shared another picture of themselves on Instagram which resulted in a similar reaction online.
The photo was of the pair sitting by the pool together in their swimsuits, this time the hashtag was #TammySlatonWeightLoss.
Even though there were still comments from people saying that they were proud of Tammy, the majority were about whether or not Haley was just using her.
Others Shared Their Opinions About Tammy’s Extra Skin
But there were also some users who shared their opinions about what they thought was wrong with the way Tammy looked in it.
One of them said that they knew that Tammy needed to finish losing weight before skin removal, but if she removed now then she could be even happier. Another user also asked if she was going to get her extra skin removed.
According to a report by In Touch at the start of 2024, Tammy talked about how she didn’t appreciate people saying negative things about her appearance. After a TikTok user left a comment that she should fix her teeth, Tammy replied to them personally.
She said that she wished people like them would stop commenting on things like that. It was not helping her confidence.
She went on to share that she was trying to keep her confidence boosted and seeing comments about her chin or her teeth didn’t help.
She also revealed that she really wanted to tell the Tik Tok user that if they had a true problem with her teeth, they should pay for them to get fixed.
But she added that she didn’t want to be that person. She didn’t want to be rude.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Tammy talked about how much her life had changed since she had bariatric surgery in July 2022. She explained that just being able to walk without a walker, or to not have to be pushed in a wheelchair was huge.
In a 2023 Tik Tok video, Tammy told her followers that the surgery had actually done wonderful things for her hair, for her body and for her health. She said that she was proud of herself, and that it was a work in progress.
