Upcoming Season of 1000-Lb Sisters: Major Developments and Controversies
The highly anticipated seventh season of 1000-Lb Sisters is set to premiere on April 15, 2025. TLC recently unveiled an exclusive trailer on March 25, 2025, which highlights significant incidents involving Amy Slaton during a zoo trip in September 2024. The trailer reveals that Amy not only faced a bizarre injury from a camel but also encountered serious legal trouble following the event.
Zoo Incident: Camel Bite and Its Consequences
In the trailer, viewers witness Amy at Tennessee Safari Park, where she was attempting to feed various animals from the passenger seat of a vehicle. The situation took a drastic turn when a camel bit her upper arm, prompting a distressed reaction.
“The camel just bit me. Am I gonna lose my hand?”
Reflecting on the chaotic day, Amy poignantly stated,
“It was just supposed to be a fun family day, and it turned out to be the worst day of our lives.”
As a result of the incident, law enforcement was called to the scene, leading to shocking revelations about Amy’s condition during the visit.
Legal Issues Arise from the Incident
The trailer indicates that deputies responding to the camel bite noticed a strong odor emanating from Amy’s vehicle. Following a thorough investigation, both Amy and her companion, Brian Scott Lovvorn, were arrested on charges of suspected drug possession and child endangerment.
As Amy recounted the unfolding events in the trailer, she said,
“After the whole camel biting incident, the cops came in and started reading my rights.”
In a light-hearted moment despite the circumstances, she exclaimed,
“They should be handcuffing the damn camel.”
Conversations with her family regarding her legal situation were also depicted. Amy expressed her discomfort, stating that the discussion felt like an intervention:
“This was not supposed to be an intervention,”
“It’s sounding just like an intervention.”
Courtroom Drama Unfolds
As tensions rise, the trailer previews several courtroom scenes. Her brother, Chris Combs, delivers a stark warning about the potential legal ramifications:
“If they throw the book at you, you’re looking at 30 years.”
Emotionally, Amy admitted,
“I’m scared s***less. I just hope I don’t ruin my whole life.”
In December 2024, both Amy and Brian reached plea agreements. According to reports from WLBT3, their initial felony drug charges were reduced to simple possession, while the child endangerment counts were dismissed. A judge in Crockett County ordered them to two years of supervised probation.
Focus on Personal Growth and Future Endeavors
Beyond Amy’s tumultuous experiences, the trailer also offers insights into Tammy Slaton’s journey, particularly her preparations for skin removal surgery.
“I’ve come so far in my weight loss journey, but now I have even more insecurities about my body because I have so much loose skin,” she reflected.
Additionally, Amy shared that she has begun a new romantic relationship, expressing excitement about moving forward:
“I met a man, and we’re moving so fast, but it just makes sense.”
The seventh season of 1000-Lb Sisters promises to be filled with drama, personal challenges, and inspiring journeys, airing on April 15, 2025, at 9 PM ET on TLC.
