1000-lb Sisters Star Amanda Halterman Abandons Family Tradition to Follow Her Heart
DIXON, KENTUCKY: “1000-lb Sisters” star Amanda Halterman recently introduced the world to her new relationship with RJ Thompson. Originally from Florida, RJ began dating the TLC star in 2023 after connecting on social media. However, Amanda took a bold step for her new romance by choosing to skip her family celebrations.
In a preview for the upcoming episode, Amanda tells Amy Slaton that she won’t be able to celebrate Christmas with her family because she’ll be spending the holiday with her new boyfriend. She acknowledges her desire to no longer be the “glue of the family”, especially after her recent feud with Tammy Slaton. Amanda’s choice to prioritize her relationship over family festivities may seem selfish. In particular, she places her romantic relationship above her family ties, which could have lasting repercussions on her relationships with those close to her. Amanda’s absence from the Christmas celebration means missing moments that could strengthen family bonds, especially in light of ongoing tensions with her sister Tammy.
