1000-Lb Sisters: The Real Reason Behind Amy Slaton's Social Media Silence (Are Fans Bullying Her Off Instagram?)

1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton has been uncharacteristically silent on social media lately, and it may be because of fan bullying. It's been over two weeks since Amy, 37, posted to Instagram, and her last post had many mean comments. Amy has been trying to stay positive, so it's possible that she took a break to put some distance between herself and the bullies.

Amy's no stranger to bullying. She used to weigh over 400 pounds, so she knows what it feels like for people to be cruel to her. Since losing weight, the 1000-lb Sisters season 6 has tried to change her life for the better, so it's probably hard to have to endure mean comments. The worst part is that the cruelty is often coming from her own social media followers.

Amy's Been Focused On Personal Growth

"This Dish Is Fire"

Amy is the youngest of five siblings, so she always gets treated like the baby of the family. After Amy divorced her ex-husband and settled into her new life as a single mother, she decided she'd try to earn her siblings' respect with her culinary skills. She concocted her special recipe. "It's like regular Alfredo, just add chocolate chips," Amy explained.
