‘1000-Lb. Sisters’ star Tammy Slaton breaks up with boyfriend: ‘It got to be too much’

Tammy Slaton, star of TLC’s “1000-Lb. Sisters,” is back on the market after breaking up with boyfriend Phillip, who she recently opened up about on the show, according to a clip People obtained from Monday’s upcoming episode.

“We broke up. ... I guess you can say I did it,” Slaton, 35, tells sister Amy. “I was tired of fighting with him and he said my insecurities were my problem.”

Tammy recalls to her sister that when she and Phillip met online and started dating, she asked him to assure he’d “help” with her insecurities.

“He said it got to be too much,” said Slaton, telling producers she was sad about the split. “I’m very quick to trust and that’s one of my downfalls. So in the long run, I do end up getting hurt real hard, real bad.”

Noting she was happy that her sister had left Phillip, Amy suggested Tammy take the opportunity to work on herself.

“Tammy don’t need somebody that wants her to be a glutton,” she told producers. “I’m hoping with the whole breakup, it don’t deter Tammy away from her weight loss, because she needs to lose this 25 pounds. The doctor gave her a goal.”

Tammy Slaton, who said she was “even more depressed” to weigh in at 665 pounds in an episode that aired in March of this year, previously said that Phillip only dates women who weight at least 300 lbs.

Shortly before that weigh-in, Slaton revealed to then-boyfriend Jerry that she identified as pansexual, saying, “It means love is love.”
