Amy Slaton has been the star of 1000-Lb sisters with her sibling Tammy for a few years now.
Despite raising a few eyebrows when the show initially came out, they’ve both won themselves plenty of fans thanks to their candid approach to losing weight and becoming healthier.
So where exactly is Amy Slaton now?
Let’s investigate…
Seeking Stardom
Amy Slaton and sister Tammy originally became YouTube famous after their chubby bunny challenge went viral.
If you can remember, it was the challenge that encouraged people to stuff marshmallows in their mouths one at a time, before declaring the phrase “Chubby Bunny”.
While this is actually super dangerous, the Slaton sisters cracked up as they recorded their challenge, and they became internet hits overnight.
