Tammy Slatonis not putting up with the hate she’s receiving on social media about her appearance.
On Monday, the1000-Lb. Sistersstar, 37, posted a TikTok video responding to one follower who wrote, “Just a question not trying to be rude, but do you know if your chin flap will go away?”
“My ‘chin flap’ is not a chin flap. It’s literally excess skin and yes, it will go away when I get skin removal surgery,” she replied. ‘And I cannot answer, before anybody asks, when I’m getting skin removal because I don’t know.”
“You don’t understand what people are going through,” Slaton said. “I’m very insecure. I hide it because I don’t want people to think I’m weak and I truly am weak. And calling me a turkey or talking about my face and my teeth it bothers me. I’m human.”
“I wish people would just understand that the least little bit of hate can send somebody over the edge and want to kill themselves. I’m not that way…I used to be. I used to be very suicidal before I went to rehab and lost all this weight,” she continued. “I just want people to realize that hating is not okay.”

Last month, Slaton clapped back at another critic who told her to “fix them teeth,” noting that she’s gotten numerous messages about her looks.
“I’m trying to better my life and better myself. We should be lifting up people. It doesn’t matter if I’m missing teeth,” she continued. “It’s sad. Why hate? Why can’t you just appreciate the hard work I’ve put in. Why can’t you just appreciate that I’m still alive. Yes, I have flaws. I’m human… But I’m not gonna let you or anyone else ruin my day.”
