Season 6 of 1000-lb Sisters aired episode 8, Peas Out, Yo! on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. The episode saw Amanda pack her belongings to relocate to Florida. Her family visited her one last time to say goodbye. Although Tammy accompanied the others, she refused to come out of the van.
Tammy even rolled up the van's window when the others asked her to join them in a quick prayer for Amanda. She refused to leave the vehicle and stated that Amanda should feel content with her presence alone. Due to a previous disagreement, Tammy was not on talking terms with her sister and did not wish to participate in her farewell ceremony.
Meanwhile, Amanda, upset about leaving her family behind in Kentucky, expressed that she was unbothered by Tammy's behavior because she had other things to worry about. She was against dragging the dispute and letting it affect her.
1000-lb Sisters fans were unimpressed by Tammy's treatment of Amanda and took to X to criticize her. While many called her out for rolling up her window to avoid saying a prayer, others wondered why she came if she was not going to say goodbye to her sister.

Meanwhile, Amanda expressed that she felt bittersweet about her relocation. On one hand, it was difficult to part ways with her family, but on the other, the excitement of starting a new life in Florida appealed to her.
After a while, Amanda confided in her family that she was ready to leave Kentucky because the battles she fought there were "too much" and she was exhausted. The 1000-lb Sisters star mentioned that it felt like "closing a whole book to a lot of sh*t."
Before Amanda left, the family gathered to say a word of prayer. However, when they asked Tammy to join, she rolled up her window and ignored them. While speaking to the cameras, the 1000-lb Sisters star explained herself:
"Every time Amanda and I are around each other, it goes bad. So I'm just gonna chill in the van. Just be thankful I showed up in any kind of way. It's better than nothing."
Later, Amy criticized Tammy for not being "civil" and saying goodbye to her sister who had moved for good.
