1000-LB Sisters Season 7 is about to go into depth in the camel bite heard ‘around the world.
In the first trailer for new episodes of this TLCReality show, Amy Slaton opens around the time she visited a zoo in Tennessee …
… only to end on the back of a police car, under arrest.
“It just had to be a fun family day,” says Slaton in a preview that has just been released by Entertainment Weekly. “And it turned out to be the worst day of our lives.”
In this fresh recordings, the 37-year-old reality star can be seen holding a bucket of feed to distribute to animals from her passenger seat window during an excursion last September.
The camera then pans away to show another camel that fortunately eats some snacks … when suddenly Amy starts screaming … and we see another Camel bites down on her upper arm.
“The camel just bites me,” she cries. “Should I lose my hand?”
The answer was of course no. Amy did not lose hand.
But Crockett County Sheriff’s Department said in a September press release that they responded to a call about Slaton’s bite injury, only to be “immediately overtaken by suspicious smells coming from the guest’s vehicle.”
She and alleged boyfriend Brian Scott Law – who was driving the car – were both subsequently arrested on suspicion of illegal possession of non -reveled drugs and two counts of danger to children.
It is safe to assume that at least one of Amy’s children was with her when she apparently made drugs.
At the end of last year, Slaton accepted a plea and pleaded guilty to the aforementioned charges.
In the wake of this troubled incident, Season 7 will contain Tammy Slaton, Amanda Halterman and Chris Combs, who are staging an intervention for their beloved.
“We have to have a discussion,” says Amanda Stringly Amy in the trailer, released on March 25. “The problem is every time someone tries to talk to you, you will jump up and storm.”
Unfortunately, Amy simply didn’t.
“This should not be an intervention,” Amy shot back. “This sounds like an intervention for me.”
However, Amy’s relatives do not go back to the light of her objections.
They are very quick to remind her of the severity of her charges as the camera cuts footage taken in the courtroom.
“If they throw the book on you, you look at 30 years,” says her brother Chris.
“I’m afraid of being SH-Teless,” Amy says in the promo too. “I just hope I don’t ruin my whole life.”
We now know the legal result, of course, when Slaton and Laws each accepted to request December last year, when their drug crimes were reduced to simple possession, and their charges of neglect of children rejected.
They were sentenced to two years of monitored probation by a Crockett County judge.
By reflecting on the arrest and apparently ignoring the alleged drug conservation part of things, Amy says in the teaser:
“After the Camel Bite event, the police came in and started reading my rights. They should handcuff the damn camel.”
Elsewhere, the upcoming season, Tammy is forced to navigate her addiction to nicotine as she gets ready to review her long -awaited skin removal surgery.
“I’ve come so far in my journey in weight loss,” she says in the air. “But now I have even more uncertainty about my body because I have so much loose skin.”
Finally, we do not know if she is referring to law or someone else, but Amy shudder over a particular someone in season 7 and says in front of the camera: “I met a man, we move so fast, but still it just makes sense.”
