1000-Lb Sisters Season 3 will see Tammy Slaton back with a new boyfriend. Jerry Sykes is gone for good, and Tammy has replaced him with a man named Philip. On TikTok, Philip calls himself “thebbwking,” and has the phrase “300 & Up” tattooed on his neck.

Philip often posts about how he refuses to date women below a certain weight — he claims if they weigh in below 300 pounds he’s not interested. Chris Combs and Brittany Combs sit down during the trailer to talk with Tammy about her new boyfriend, and they’re not impressed.

Chris points out a TikTok clip in which “thebbwking” writes, “If I married you at 450 and you get down to 299 just know am out see ya.” Chris Combs tells cameras that he’s sure Philip doesn’t actually care about Tammy Slaton, and that it’s just his fetish.

“Are you okay with him walking out of your life if you’re under 300 pounds?” Chris goes on to ask Tammy. Of course, Tammy gets angry, and claims no one can simply let her be happy “for once.”

Amy Slaton feels fed up with Tammy Slaton’s behavior

Chris Combs isn’t the only one looking and sounding annoyed with Tammy Slaton in the 1000-Lb Sisters Season 3 trailer. In fact, Amy Slaton hits a wall with her sister.

For starters, Amy Slaton’s role as a mother for baby Gage has changed the dynamic of their relationship. Where Amy’s life previously often centered on taking care of Tammy, she now has more important priorities — taking care of Gage. As a result, she’s no longer going to be living with Tammy or acting as her caretaker.

“I’m done. We’re moving out. I told her that when I have my son, everything’s going to be about him,” Amy told producers. She goes on to add that there’s “only so much people can take from [Tammy]” when it comes to her attitude.

This is made even clearer when the trailer cuts to a scene between Tammy and Amy. The two are sitting on the couch together, and Tammy calls Amy stupid. Amy tells her to stop doing that, as it’s something she does often and Amy finds it hurtful.

Tammy calls Amy stupid again, and Amy throws up her arms, tells Tammy she’s had enough, and gets up to leave. Tammy says she doesn’t care.

“I told her f****** three times, I’m done!” Amy shouts.

Chris Combs could face medical complications

Meanwhile, Chris Combs could be facing complications to his plans for bariatric surgery during 1000-Lb Sisters Season 3.

“Meanwhile, the sisters’ brother Chris had reached the goal Dr. Smith set for him to be eligible for bariatric surgery but after a setback following a procedure to remove a boil from his leg, he fears he has blown his chances for life-saving surgery,” wrote TLC for their press release.

“Immediately I see that Chris’ liver is pretty big. This could be very, very serious,” warns a doctor during the Season 3 trailer.
