One of the stars of TLC's 1000-Lb Sisters, Amy Slaton, was involved in an unusual incident that went viral quickly. In the latest episode, Amy was feeding animals from her car at the Tennessee Safari Park when she was suddenly bitten on the arm by a camel. Amy's first reaction and the ensuing mayhem were captured on tape during the startling incident. She was taken away on a stretcher for medical treatment after being spotted strolling through the parking lot wearing a homemade bandage.

When the police arrived and smelled something suspicious coming from Amy's car, things got out of hand. Amy was arrested on accusations of illegal possession of Schedule I and VI substances and two counts of child endangerment since her two young children were in the car when a subsequent search turned up marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Similar allegations were brought against her companion, Brian Scott Lovvorn.

Since then, the program has become a topic of discussion among viewers, highlighting the erratic nature of reality TV. The incident resulted in a range of responses from show viewers. Some were worried about Amy's health, but others couldn't help but find the surprising development amusing.
