Tammy Slaton has had enough with the rumors involving her family members — Amy Slaton and Chris Combs.

Tammy Slaton Is Setting The Record Straight On Behalf Of Her Family
The TLC star posted a short clip on TikTok giving the true account of events. In her words, "I wish people would stop spreading rumors, but I'm here to tell you, Amy is not pregnant."
The allegedly false news began circulating that Amy was expecting her third child with an unspecified man in addition to her two older sons, Gage Deon and Glenn Allen, whom she shared with her ex-husband Michael Halterman before their divorce in 2023.
She also cleared up the death rumor flying around about her brother Chris's wife, stating that "Brittany did not pass away."

A commenter wrote, "I'm so thankful to hear this. Thank you for letting me know. I was heartbroken. Glad Brittany is ok." Another person added, "I was so worried when I saw the post saying she passed, so happy she'sokay."[sic]
"I've not heard the rumors.. but I'm glad everyone is okay! You are looking great, Tammy!" wrote this enthusiastic fan, adding, "I had gastric sleeve 2 ½ weeks ago, and I've lost over 30lbs so far! I'm so proud of you! This journey is hard, but we've got this!"
One more concerned observer wondered why anyone would come up with such sad news even though they did not see the rumors when they got out.

The "1000-lb" fandom was thrown into a sorrowful mood when a random social media reported that Brittany had passed away.
TVSHOWSACE shared that a Facebook page uploaded a picture of the couple and wrote: "Tragic News – R.I.P – Chris Combs Announces Wife Brittany Has Passed Away!" in the caption.
Turns out the post was just clickbait by the account owner to gather views and engagement as Tammy came to the rescue by debunking the news on her Facebook timeline writing:
"I have no clue where the speculations of Brittney passing away came from, but I can assure everybody that Brittney is absolutely fine."
She encouraged people to stop believing the false news people are putting out there about her family, adding, "I hope everyone has a wonderful November 1."
Chris and Brittany are also very active on their social media pages and have remained happily married since saying "I Do" in 2016.

Amy's return was celebrated by fans who were aware of her legal struggles involving a serious charge of child endangerment a few weeks prior.
The TV personality was taken into custody on her trip to the zoo with her friend Brian Lovvron after police allegedly found a sizable stash of magic mushrooms and 80 grams of marijuana in their vehicle.
Arrest warrants obtained by The U.S. Sun explained that officers stopped the vehicle after detecting a strong odor, leading to the discovery of the drugs. Amy's encounter with the police took a drastic turn when they discovered children under 8 years old were occupants of the vehicle.
In addition to two counts of child endangerment, the mom-of-two and Brian also bagged charges for illegal possession of Schedule I and Schedule IV substances.
While fans await Amy Slaton's comment on the pregnancy rumors, Tammy Slaton's disclaimer seems to sound convincing enough!
