Underneath the swimsuit post, some fans wondered if Slaton's new girl pal was a real friend or just using her to gain attention. One IG user wondered, "Who is this rando that has kidnapped Tammy for clout???"
Another critic echoed, "She's clout chasing so bad," while a third added: "I'm going to have to Unfollow. This is sad. That girl looks like trouble." The speculations about Michelle's intentions did not skip her attention as she seemingly addressed the situation in another friendship post.
She shared a picture of herself cozying up to Slaton in front of a lake, with the girl pals rocking matching black dresses. They complemented their twin vibes with flowers in their hair and matching red lipsticks.
"Spiritual Sisters, our powerful connection, we don't have to explain anything to anyone. You are my Best Friend [blue heart emoji]," Michelle captioned the post.

Apart from suspecting Michelle as a clout chaser, some fans wondered if she was romantically linked to Slaton. Their love theories stemmed from the reality TV star's bombshell revelation about her sexuality earlier this year.
In January, The Blast reported that Slaton had addressed her sexuality in a TikTok video, claiming to have evolved months after her husband's death. Following a fan's question about whether or not she was transgender, the entertainer said:
"No, I'm not trans. I'm just a supporter of everybody. Well, I was saying I was Pansexual, but I kinda stopped messing with guys after my husband passed. So, I'm like a lesbian."
Slaton's husband, Caleb Willingham, died in July 2023. The pair met during her 14-month stay at a rehab center in Ohio while she was seeking treatment to qualify for her weight loss surgery.

Last December, The Blast shared that Slaton's weight loss class was in session as she highlighted some of her best tips for shedding off the pounds in a social media post.
She made the video in response to a fan who asked, "What's your best weight loss tip? I'm really having a tough time." In her response, Slaton stressed that what worked best for her was "portion control."
"Honestly, it's portion control. It's not what you eat; it's how much you eat of it," she confessed. "Because when I was in rehab, they were giving me pizza, spaghetti… but it was portioned."
She also noted that cutting sugar and carbs from one's diet worked wonders for losing weight. "I hope whatever you're going through gets a lot better. I'm here for you; I love you all," Slaton concluded the clip.
