Her mugshot was shown. She added,

“They should be handcuffing the damn camel.”

Later, Amy’s family sat down with her to talk about the situation. Amy reacted to the conversation and said that this was "not supposed to be an intervention.” When they assured her it was not, she replied that it was "sounding just like an intervention" to her.

The trailer of 1000-Lb Sisters also showed scenes from court and conversations with Amy’s family members. Her brother Chris Combs warned her about the possible legal outcome,

“If they throw the book at you, you’re looking at 30 years,” he said.

Amy responded,

“I’m scared s***less. I just hope I don’t ruin my whole life.”

Amy and Brian agreed to plea deals in December 2024. According to local outlet WLBT3, their felony drug charges were reduced to simple possession, and the child endangerment charges were dismissed. Both were sentenced to two years of supervised probation by a Crockett County judge.

“I’ve come so far in my weight loss journey, but now I have even more insecurities about my body because I have so much loose skin,” she shared.

Amy also shared that she had started seeing someone new. She admitted that she "met a man," and added that they were moving so fast, "but yet it just makes sense."
