1000-LB SISTERS star Tammy Slaton’s home has been robbed by thieves who “kicked in the back door and stole furniture” while she has been away in rehab.
The Sun exclusively confirmed the alarming details behind the break-in of Tammy’s Kentucky home with Deputy Starkey.
The Union County deputy exclusively told The Sun: “The burglary happened shortly after the Slaton sisters moved out.”
Tammy, 34, admitted herself to her second round of weight rehab early in the fall of 2021, and Amy, 35, bought a new home with her husband to accommodate her growing family.
Starkey continued: “The burglar[s] must have seen the home was unoccupied and broke in.”
The unidentified suspect(s) “kicked in the back door and stole [Tammy’s] washer and dryer, as well as some furniture.”

Tammy’s next-door neighbor was also robbed and their sink was stolen.
Starkey told The Sun the suspect(s) behind the forced entry have not been caught and the investigation is still ongoing.
A source close to the Slaton sisters also opened up to The Sun about the robbery terror.
They continued: “Amy found the break-in when she went to check up on her old home” while Tammy was away.
The source explained: “Amy sent photos to Tammy. Valuables were stolen and there were signs of forced entry.”
Tammy’s pal alleged she “wants to sell the house” because the sisters wonder if the break-in was because of “a crazy fan.”
The Sun previously gave fans an inside look at the Slaton sisters’ Kentucky duplex, as seen on the early seasons of 1000-Lb Sisters.
Amy used to live right next door to Tammy to help her at a moment’s notice due to her ailing health and obesity.
The 1,976 square foot home is currently valued at $239,000.
The duplex has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, of which Amy and Tammy lived on their respective sides up until Amy moved with her husband and their son, Gage, one.
Tammy’s space appears to be tight and cluttered, as she is shown struggling to get through door frames and small hallways from clips on the show.
Her side of the duplex includes a living room with a couch, small living table, and television.
The Sun has not yet confirmed which of these items of furniture remain in Tammy’s home after the burglary.
Her home also includes a modest kitchen and a bedroom.
There isn’t much space to entertain, so her family mostly congregates outdoors to share meals.
Occasionally, she entertained by having some friends over as she used to party, vape, drink alcohol, and eat pizza before she changed her lifestyle in the Ohio rehab.
Tammy is set to be released from rehab soon and she has her date set for life-saving surgery after her years of very serious health problems.
The Sun previously reported Tammy’s doctors will perform bariatric weight loss surgery on her in Atlanta in June.
Originally, Tammy wasn’t supposed to be out of rehab and ready for her big surgery until August.
However, her friend claimed the 1000-lb Sisters star is expected to complete treatment two months earlier because she has been exceeding doctors’ expectations.
Tammy will be ready to undergo her bariatric surgery – like Amy once had – to lose even more weight at a rapid pace.
Since the start of 1000-Lb Sisters three seasons ago, Tammy has been desperately trying to lose enough weight to qualify for the life-saving procedure, although Amy beat her to the punch.
After weighing in at 400 pounds, Amy lost over 100 pounds to qualify for the surgery, and was later healthy enough to welcome her baby boy, Gage.
However, Tammy had quite a number of barriers preventing herself from being eligible for the procedure.
At the start of her second rehab stint, the star reached 639 pounds, and now must weigh under 400 pounds to qualify for the surgery.
Additionally, Tammy has been under assisted breathing after living with a tracheotomy.
The procedure creates a surgical opening from the neck to the windpipe to allow easy access for breathing.
Tammy’s friend exclusively told The Sun: “She hates her trach, although it’s gotten smaller.
“She only has to wear it part-time now.”
Her friend also shared Tammy has plans to get a second operation on her knee following the bariatric surgery.
She has been struggling with severe joint pain and has not been able to walk due to complications from her weight.
TLC has not responded to The Sun for comment.
As Tammy is finally taking the steps she needs to lose the weight, she is making big plans for when she returns home to Kentucky.
Tammy’s pal exclusively told The Sun she is interested in pursuing a book deal.
She wants to tell all about her side of the journey, and raise awareness of body positivity.
She also plans to return to reality TV.
Amy, however, isn’t as thrilled about the idea of a book or returning to TV as she prepares to welcome her second child.
Previously, Amy told The Sun she planned to quit the show if the producers didn’t cut down her hours as she felt like a “bad mom” to Gage.
Tammy’s friend insisted the star wasn’t worried about her future with the show even if Amy did decide to quit.

Tammy’s pal compared the star to the Honey Boo Boo franchise and thought Tammy could have the potential to go solo.
He said: “There are so many options for Tammy even if Amy did quit the show.”
