Throughout1000-Lb Sisterslast few seasons,Amy Slatonhas made some difficult choices that haven’t allowed her to heal from her struggles in the way she needs to,making it clear that her current relationship is moving too quickly to be healthy. With some incredibly fast updates in her current relationship with Brian Lovvorn, who Amy met after her divorce from Michael Halterman, it’s been clear to viewers that Amy’s behavior has felt disjointed. Throughout1000-Lb Sistersseason 7, Amy’s made calls that don’t always seem wrong, but don’t seem to be getting her to any better a place, either.
With Amy focused on her sons, Gage and Glenn, and rebuilding her life after her divorce from Michael, it’s become obvious that there’s something going on off-screen that’s keeping her a bit more pre-occupied than adjusting to life as a single mother.Amy’s arrest in September 2024, wherein she was charged for drug possession and child endangerment at a drive-thru safari zoo,should’ve shifted her priorities, but it appears to have pushed her to double downon living the way she wants to. Knowing that there’s been a lot of reckless behavior in Amy’s past, her safety is a concern.

Though they’ve been hopeful that they’d be able to make a difference in Amy’s life by trying to share that they want to help her move forward after her arrest,the family didn’t feel they saw enough remorse in Amy. Instead, they felt like the didn’t want to change and didn’t want their help moving forward. WhileAmy may be in denial, her family intervention not working was a tough blow.
