Witnesses close to 1000-Lb Sisters Season 5 filming report that the tension between the family members has been thick since the start. The TLC reality family was in Florida filming vacation scenes for the upcoming season.

Sources say that cast members Chris Combs, Amanda Halterman, Amy, and Tammy were all on hand for the beach shoot. However, a sibling argument broke out among the family members.

It is unclear what set the 1000-Lb Sisters brawl off. What we do know per the family source is that Chris, Amanda, and both Tammy and Amy were very irritable. The source also says that once the verbal brawl got out of control and became physical Chris stepped away, leaving the three females to duke it out.

The drama was apparently too much for the crew members on hand to deal with. So, in light of the family brawl, the TLC network has opted to halt filming of 1000-Lb Sisters. The show has shut down for at least six weeks. They feel the cast and crew need a time-out to cool down and work through their issues.

It is unknown what set Amy, Amanda, and Tammy off. However, the family has been struggling through a rough patch for the past several months. Between Amy and Tammy’s divorce drama followed by dealing with the unexpected death of her husband Caleb Willingham, the stress may have taken its toll on them.

No matter what may have set off the 1000-Lb Sisters throwdown, one thing is for certain, a break is needed. The network is reportedly doing everything possible to clear up the matter before they resume Season 5 filming. If the siblings fail to reach a suitable resolution, the network may be faced with a difficult decision. Possibly scrapping the entire season.
