1000-lb SistersstarAmanda Haltermanis in a new relationship, and some of the show’s fans are questioning her new boyfriend’s motives. Amanda, a 44-year-old bus driver and social media influencer from Kentucky, appears on the show alongside her siblings. The unscripted series is mostly about her sisters, Amy Slaton and Tammy Slaton, but Amanda has taken more of a center-stage role during season 6. Amanda didn’t even appear on the show during the first few seasons. She was divorcing Jason Halterman after 22 years of marriage and four children, which was her main focus.
Since making her television debut, Amanda’s star has been on the rise. She may not have appeared on the show until season four, but by the time1000-lb Sistersseason 6rolled around, Amanda was one of the show’s main draws. She’s acharismatic person with a big personality and a lot to say, and she’s not afraid of conflict, so she’s become one of the best parts of the show. She recently introduced her new boyfriend to her social media feed. His sudden financial involvement in a recent Slaton family tragedy has raised more than a few eyebrows.

The Slatons are always there for each other, through thick and thin. Before Katie’s diagnosis, Tammy was pondering leaving Kentucky. During1000-lb Sistersseason 6, Tammy was fighting with multiple siblings, including a big feud with Amanda. Tammy decided she needed space from her family and wanted to get as far away from them as possible.Katie’s diagnosis may have made Tammy rethinkher desire to get away from her family. It’s possible she realized her family wouldn’t be around forever, and it made her appreciate them more.
Tammy Slaton Posted About A Fundraiser For Katie
The Fundraiser’s Host Was A Big Surprise
That wasn’t the only timeTammy posted about Katie’s fundraiser. A few days after her first post,Tammyposted an Instagram clip of her cousin Katie throughout various points in her life. Tammy’s caption reads, “This is my cousin Katie all we’re asking is either a prayer or a small dollar donation.” She again shared the link to Katie’s GoFundMe page. Upon clicking on the link, several fans noticedthe host of the event was none other than Amanda’s fairly new boyfriendand manager, Leonard Moore.
Fansdidn’t like that Amanda’s new boyfriend was the hostof Katie’s crowd-sourced fundraiser. One of the comments read, “@amandahalterman we all know Leonard, your manager, is also your boyfriend. Why is he the one to organize the fundraiser and why is Katie not listed as the beneficiary of the fundraiser? I think that is throwing people off.” The comment got six likes, and Tammy felt the need to respond.
“because people think my family do nothing but scam everybody so if we put it in our manager’s name then hopefully people get it that is not going for us.”
Tammy referring to Leonard as “our manager” was new information, as it implies he’s managing the careers of other members of the Slaton family.Leonard’s TikTok page identifies him as “Entertainment Manager of Amanda Halterman of 1000lb Sisters/Author/Public Figure.” His first TikTok post came in September 2024, and he hasn’t posted much since then. It’sunclear if Leonard has experience as an entertainment manageror if Amanda is his first client. It’s also unclear if he started as Amanda’s manager and became her boyfriend or if it happened the other way around.
Who Is Amanda’s New Boyfriend?
“Three Months And A Lifetime To Go”
Amanda has had several relationships fall apart since her divorce was finalized. She even had herheart broken after moving to Florida to be with a man who ghosted her. Despite the many romantic disappointments, hope springs eternal for the1000-lb Sistersseason 6 star. Recently,Amandaposted a TikTok about her new relationship and introduced Leonard to her social media followers. The post is a photo of Amanda and Leonard looking happy together. “Three months and a lifetime to go,” reads Amanda’s caption.
Little is known about Leonard, and it’s unknown how he and Amanda met.
Hopefully, Leonard has experience managing reality television talent, especially if he’s managing other members of the Slaton family. WithAmanda getting more screen timeduring1000-lb Sistersseason 6, her star has been on the rise, and she could use a good manager. Since Leonard has only been dating Amanda for three months, and he already has so much power in her life, is concerning. If he’s also managing her siblings and hosting her cousin’s fundraiser, the relationship must be pretty serious.
