Some fans speculated that she was jealous of Amy Slaton for her weight loss and pregnancy, and others assumed it was a matter of Tammy now being second to Gage in Amy’s life. 

“I am not mad at Amy. I am very proud of Amy. I love Amy unconditionally. And baby Gage is my everything. So I’m not now, nor have I ever been, mad at Amy. I was just not feeling good and didn’t wanna talk. And they were pushing me to. They being the producers,” Tammy said of her behavior on 1000-Lb Sisters.
