In a prior episode, Tammy disclosed to her audience that she had been seeing Andrea for a few months but hesitated to share this news with her family due to anticipated scrutiny.

“I haven’t told my family because my family’s gonna have something to say about it. I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much,” she remarked humorously.

This light-hearted comment underscores the weighty nature of her concerns. Tammy further reflected on the difficulty she encounters in being authentic around her siblings, explaining how their varied responses contributed to her reluctance to share personal updates. Opening up has been a challenge, leading her to feel constrained in expressing her true self.

Embracing Her Identity and Past Experiences

Throughout various seasons of 1000-Lb Sisters and on social media, Tammy has shared insights about her sexuality. In a 2021 episode, she explained her pansexual identity to her then-boyfriend, highlighting her openness to dating individuals of all genders.

However, following the loss of her husband in 2023, Tammy’s perspective has evolved. She recently posted on TikTok, expressing that while she identifies as pansexual, her experiences have led her to feel more aligned with dating women.

“Sometimes you got to find out what really makes you happy. And if she what makes you happy, then totally go for it,” her friend advised her during their conversation.

A New Approach Following Personal Loss

Tammy elaborated on how her current relationship contrasts with her past experiences, particularly in light of her husband’s death. She expressed a desire to approach this relationship differently, keenly aware of the need to prioritize her emotional well-being.

“I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it’s going pretty well,” she stated during a confessional segment.

Despite her optimism, Tammy remains apprehensive about her family’s potential reactions, emphasizing the hesitance born from previous personal encounters.

“I don’t know how my family’s gonna react when I tell them I’m seeing a woman,” she admitted.

As fans anticipate the upcoming episodes of 1000-Lb Sisters, airing Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC and streaming on Max the following day, viewers will witness Tammy’s journey of self-discovery and the complexities of familial relationships.
