Amanda Halterman made a big announcement during 1000-Lb Sisters season 6, and it could change the Slaton family and the show forever. The unscripted series premiered in 2020, and it chronicles the lives of 37-year-old Amy Slaton and her sister, 38-year-old Tammy Slaton. The sisters are very close to their three other siblings, which includes their older sister, 43-year-old Amanda.
The Slatons are a very close-knit family, and part of the fun of 1000-lb Sisters is their unique family dynamic. Over the years, the five Slaton siblings have lost more than a combined 1000-lbs, and they’re still pursuing more weight-loss milestones. Like her siblings, Amanda has lost a lot of weight, but she’s changed her life in other ways as well. After going through a divorce, Amanda made several other changes. During 1000-lb Sisters season 6, Amanda dropped a massive bomb on her unsuspecting family.
Amanda’s Shocking Announcement
This Changes Everything
In a 1000-lb Sisters season 6 scene posted on YouTube by TLC, Amanda shocks her family with the shocking news that she plans to leave Kentucky. This would be a huge change for the family, who spends a lot of their time together and tend to lean on each other. Since she’s moving to Florida, she’d be far away, and it could also affect Amanda’s participation in the show. Read on to find out why Amanda’s moving.
The Real Reason Amanda’s Moving To Florida
Starting A New Life
While filming 1000-lb Sisters season 4, Amanda quietly finalized her divorce from her ex-husband, Jason Halterman. Amanda and Jason were married for 22 years and had four sons together. After her divorce, Amanda dated a few men, but nothing clicked until Amanda met RJ. She moved from Kentucky to Florida for RJ.

It Won’t Affect Her Involvement With The Show
In February, Amanda posted a now-deleted photo of her and her then-boyfriend on TikTok. In the image, RJ’s face is partially visible as he kisses the back of Amanda’s head as they pose on an idyllic beach somewhere. Amanda’s caption reads, “@RJV I love life with you, Can’t wait to be back on the beach!!” Amanda’s happiness would be short-lived.
