Tammy Slaton has struggled to find her romantic fit in 1000-lb Sisters, and fans weren't surprised to learn that her latest boyfriend, Phillip Redmond, wasn't a good match for the reality star. Tammy and her TikTok influencer ex's relationship was full of red flags viewers noted from miles away, making the Slaton sister's recent revelation less than shocking. From Phil's aversion to Tammy losing weight to the reality star's tendency to lash out at her loved ones, here's why 1000-lb Sisters fans expected Tammy and Phil to break up.
Tammy is known for having questionable taste when it comes to her romantic partners. 1000-lb Sisters fans first got a sense of Tammy's type when she started dating Jerry Sykes in season 2. Jerry has gone down as one of the least popular television personalities to appear in the Slaton sisters' series because of his infidelity. Surprisingly, it wasn't Tammy who he cheated on. Shortly after he made his 1000-lb Sisters debut, viewers discovered that Jerry was married and had seven children with another woman. As if his other family wasn't enough, Tammy's siblings, Amy and Chris, didn't approve of Jerry because he is what they call a "feeder," or a person who derives pleasure from watching someone gain weight.
Fortunately, Tammy parted ways with Jerry in season 2. Although she returned to her former fling for a brief get-together before signing into rehab in 1000-lb Sisters season 3, Tammy's siblings and fans assumed the reality star had learned her lesson from the toxic relationship. Regrettably, Tammy demonstrated that she still had much to discover when she introduced her latest boyfriend, Phil. Once Chris and Amy discovered Phil's TikTok, The BBWKing, it was apparent that Tammy had another feeder on her hands. All of Phil's videos on the social medium comprised of him declaring his love for women that weigh 300 pounds or more. This is the principal reason why viewers assumed Tammy and Phil wouldn't last. Tammy has to adhere to her weight loss goals if she wants to reclaim her health, but Phil doesn't have an interest in dating a woman that weighs less than 300 pounds.
Although Tammy attempted to deny her siblings' claims that Phil would try to hold the entertainer back from achieving her weight loss ambitions, most 1000-lb Sisters fans expected the couple's contradicting fitness aspirations to cause a split. Another reason why viewers weren't shocked to learn of Tammy and Phil's breakup is the Slaton sister's aggressive attitude. Because of her defensive disposition, it doesn't take much for Tammy to lash out at Amy or Chris. In a scene from 1000-lb Sisters, Tammy explained that the pair called it quits "'cause I was tired of fighting with him and he said my insecurities were my problem." Fans anticipated that the aggressive behavior Tammy demonstrated with her siblings would spill over into her romantic life and cause trouble with her fitness-opposed boyfriend. Tammy's followers hope she takes more from this breakup than she did from her last split.
Tammy has a pattern of dating men that don't want the best for her, and 1000-lb Sisters fans could tell Phil was another ex-boyfriend-to-be from the start. From his disdain for women that want to weigh less than 300 pounds to Tammy's inability to maintain close relationships without regularly losing her temper, Tammy and Phil's breakup was meant to be. Now, 1000-lb Sisters viewers hope Tammy's latest separation will motivate the entertainer to return her focus to her weight loss.
