Devoted fans of "1000-Lb Sisters" have valuable advice for Amy Slaton, especially after her recent run-in with the law involving child endangerment.
What was meant to be an avenue to show off their wardrobe on social media turned into a mini counseling session by the fans in the comments, with "hygiene" being the major focus.
Before getting slammed, Amy Slaton made a grand entry back to social media after her controversial arrest over a month ago at the Tennessee zoo.

The video posted on TLC's Instagram page featured Amy trying on an edgy dress in a bid to switch up her style following her weight loss transformation.
Amy showed up in a short black leather dress showing off her arms and legs paired with matching black boots as she gave a spin and asked for Amy's thoughts. "So what do you think about my single mom badass look?" to which Tammy replied "It's just bad."
In the confessional that followed, Tammy noted that Amy looked like "a maid that's about to clean the house," resulting in a laugh from Amy, who declared that her sister looked like she was about to go "milk a cow on the prairie," seemingly referring to the blue off shoulder maxi dress Tammy wore in the room.
The atmosphere was completely different in the comments as the fans wondered why TLC would agree to "film them in a dirty house?!" according to one fan. "I can smell this video," another commenter stated under the TLC post, and someone else added, "You need to experiment with a broom and a mop."
This user stressed "Hygiene!! People Hygiene!!!" while another fan was concerned about the "cigarette butt on the floor next to the trash can." A seemingly avid viewer of the show wrote under the post:
"Amy needs to take care of her house and her boys. She's always put herself first; maybe try doing something different this time. Be a grown-up."

Amy has maintained pin-drop silence since her arrest at the zoo. She, however, returned with a bang on Instagram with pictures of her sons in their Halloween costumes with a caption that read, "2024."
The Blast reported that the TLC star's boy donned Halloween-themed long johns with bright Casper the Friendly Ghost designs. Her son Gage was pictured having fun with a yellow toy car on the floor as his brother Glenn feasted on a juicy slice of pepperoni pizza.
Amy's sons are from her four-year marriage to her ex-husband Michael Halterman. The former couple finalized their divorce last March.
Amy's Zoo Trip Turned Into A Child Endangerment Case
The reality star's visit to the zoo last month, which eventually turned into an arrest after drugs were discovered in her possession, also increased the concerns from close quarters about her health safety.
The visit to the zoo with her friend, Brian Lovvron, became messy when police discovered that her two sons were in the car, where they found a stash of magic mushrooms and 80 grams of marijuana.
Amy could have escaped her arrest, but the strong, offensive odor that emanated from her vehicle caught the attention of law enforcement officers, who obtained arrest warrants to have her in custody alongside her friend.
They were both charged with illegal possession of Schedule I and Schedule IV substances and two counts of child endangerment.

The Crockett County Sheriff’s Department also received an eyewitness report from the zoo employee reporting that a camel attacked a visitor.
Amy was also spotted on a stretcher carting her away from the recreational facility a few minutes before the police picked her up for drug possession and child endangerment.
