How '1000-Lb Sisters' Star Amy Slaton's Family Received Her 'Camel Bite' News

Amy Slaton's loved ones found it hard to take her seriously, but who wouldn't after a camel bite news?

The "1000 LB Sisters" star's family reacted strangely to the news of her unpleasant encounter with a camel that wanted a taste of her skin.

Amy Slaton was involved in the camel bite incident last year on her trip to the zoo alongside a friend of hers. The visit simultaneously led to her arrest for drug possession and child endangerment.

In a sneak peek from the Tuesday, April 29 episode of "1000-Lb. Sisters," Amy shared an amusing incident with her family via text, revealing that she had been bitten by a camel while visiting a drive-thru zoo. 

The unexpected mishap elicited laughter from her family members, including Chris Combs and his wife, Brittany. Later, Brittany summoned Chris to their living room to check his phone and see Amy's update about the camel bite.

"How does a b-tch get bit by a camel? How?" Chris asked his wife, who replied amid a laugh attack, "I don't know. I wasn't there." Chris repeated the line during a solo confessional clip before bursting into laughter. He said:

"That b-tch done got bit by a f-cking camel, man. And you know, the first thing when I seen it, I thought it was autocorrect. No, that's ridiculous."

The next scene then reveals Chris and Brittany at home once they receive a photo of the open wound on Amy's arm. The picture appeared on the screen, exposing an open wound on Amy's arm due to the bite.

Per In Touch, Chris gave feedback on the image during his confessional and started cackling again. In his words:

"It bit her down to the white meat, and that ain't no bullsh-t. Just took a big plug out of her arm. Fatty tissue is hanging and dangling."

Eager to relay the news to his other siblings, Chris FaceTimed his sisters, Tammy and Amanda Halterman, after Amy failed to answer his phone call with Brittany.

During the video chat, both sisters reacted with disbelief at the news of Amy's incident, wondering aloud, "How do you get bit by a camel?" In a follow-up interview, Tammy said that she initially thought Amy was joking. Fans got a glimpse of Amy's unfortunate accident in the season 7 trailer released in March.

Amy described the day as intended to be a fun family outing that quickly turned into a nightmare, expressing her shock with, "The camel just bit me. Am I gonna lose my hand?" as haunting footage of the incident played.

Tammy's visit to the zoo last year could not have ended any worse. Aside from her camel bite, she also got booked by the police for keeping drugs in her car.

As shared by The Blast, following her bite, Amy was reportedly taken away on a stretcher. However, her treatment was paused after police investigated the scene and discovered psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana inside her vehicle, which contained her two children. 

The Crockett County Sheriff's Department announced her arrest on Facebook, along with a man named Brian Scott Lovvom, at the Safari Park. 

Authorities had reportedly noticed a strong odor emanating from Slaton's car, prompting a further search. Both individuals faced multiple charges, including illegal possession of controlled substances and two counts of child endangerment.

Despite her arrest, police confirmed that the investigation into her case was ongoing, and she had not been convicted of any crimes.

The Crockett County Sheriff's Department also emphasized that the charges she faced were simply accusations and not indicative of guilt. Following her arrest, public interest surged, with many offering to help cover her bail. 

Eyewitnesses reported seeing her and her companion, Brian, leaving the facility together, with Amy appearing to have a tourniquet below her elbow.

The pair was released on a $10,000 bail and quickly departed in a waiting vehicle, avoiding interactions with the media, as captured in a viral Facebook video. In the meantime, Tammy's social media was flooded with inquiries about her sister's condition before her release.

Last December, The Blast reported that the reality star received a suspended jail sentence of nearly one year after pleading guilty to a drug charge involving "simple possession."

This sentence allowed her to avoid incarceration, especially since her charges related to child abuse and child endangerment were dismissed. As part of her agreement with prosecutors, she was required to complete an alcohol and drug program and pay a $500 fine.

She was also ordered to maintain no contact with the Tennessee Safari Park, where the legal issues originated in September. Although she managed to avoid prison time through a plea deal, Amy must strongly comply with the conditions outlined in her agreement.

Despite her family's funny reactions, the days of camel bite troubles are certainly well behind Amy Slaton.
