1000-lb Sisters’ Amy Slaton claps back at trolls who slammed her for ‘disgusting’ item in toddler son Gage’s playpen
1000-LB Sisters star Amy Slaton has clapped back at trolls who slammed her for leaving a ‘disgusting’ item in her son Gage’s playpen.
Last week, fans on Reddit roasted the TLC star for leaving what they believed was a “toilet brush” among her two-year-old’s toys.
However, Amy has clapped back, and explained that the item was not a toilet brush at all.
Taking to , she re-shared the original photo of Gage with the caption: “Not a toilet bowl brush, it is literally a marshmallow on a stick from a campfire toy set! Wow.”
She also posted a zoomed-in version of the photo, and a screenshot of the toy set containing the marshmallow on a stick.

One presumed: “Is that a toilet brush… on the floor?”
Another added: “Jesus, that is a toilet brush laying on the floor!”
A third chimed in: “God, Amy, what is a toilet brush doing in the living room unless you're letting Gage play with it?”
Others were concerned about the state of Amy’s messy home, which she’s been criticized for in the past.
One wrote: “I guess showing their nasty home on TV wasn’t embarrassing enough, nor encouraged her to change her ways.”
Another pointed out: “It gets worse. Look at the corner baseboard and wall. That looks pretty grungy for a house that you fixed up before you moved in.”
MESS MADNESS
Fans were previously concerned for Gage after the penultimate episode of the latest 1,000-Lb. Sisters season revealed what appeared to be rat poo and cockroaches under the toddler’s crib.
The TLC cameras gave an insight into Amy’s home as she moved out before she relocated to the Kentucky house where she now lives.
The empty spit where Gage's crib used to be was littered with kitchen equipment, baby clothes, and a dirty towel on the floor.
The living room was a cluttered mess with clothing, open boxes, and baby toys spread all over.
Amy recently moved out of the home she shared with her sister, Tammy, to start a new life with her husband, Michael, and Gage.
The Sun exclusively revealed that the new house was listed for $37K in July of last year.

The home includes three bedrooms, so Gage now has the space to have his own room, and won’t have to sleep in the kitchen like he did at the previous house.
