What Happened to Darlene Rednour?
Despite inviting her mother, Darlene, she did not receive the appreciation or recognition she hoped for regarding her hard work and success. One critic humorously remarked, “Not surprised Tammy’s mom hasn’t uttered a word to her, lol.” Another viewer bluntly expressed, “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—she’s a POS. Not a mother. She was just an incubator. Sitting there all smug, unable to even say, ‘It’s great to see you, Tammy. I’m proud of you.’” Yet another user commented, “Their mother seems utterly unhappy in her own life, making her a toxic presence in theirs.” A different user on social media tweeted, “That’s quite a substantial statement from their mom, but she still failed to offer an apology.” Darlene notably declined to escort Amy down the aisle during her wedding to now ex-husband Michael Halterman.
Amy had previously discussed her mother’s stance on her and Tammy pursuing weight loss surgery. In an episode of the TLC show, Amy reflected, saying, “My relationship with my mom was always a little rocky.” She further shared, “She doesn’t believe we’ll be successful. But I’m working on repairing things with her and demonstrating that we can succeed.” Contrary to Darlene’s doubts, both Slaton sisters, Tammy and Amy, proved her wrong by undergoing gastric bypass surgery and successfully shedding hundreds of pounds. Tammy provided a glimpse into how her childhood may have contributed to her ongoing weight challenges, sharing, “With five kids, our mom worked three jobs.” In parallel, Amy disclosed, “We didn’t receive much love and affection during our upbringing. In fact, it was quite the opposite.” She went on to say, “We were told we were stupid, lazy,” and Tammy added, “Ugly, fat.”
