Did Tammy Slaton part ways with Caleb Willingham because he didn't lose weight?
That's what internet users are claiming amid the death of the 40-year-old. A user took to Reddit to post the death news of Caleb, opening a thread with the title, "Caleb has passed away." Where everyone was seen showing concern towards Tammy for losing her ex-husband, a few took to the comment section to slam the reality star wondering whether she parted ways with Caleb because he was not losing weight. A user wrote, "I know that they were separated, but I still feel pretty awful for Tammy. It sounds like she only split from him because he was a bad influence on her diet." Another slammed Tammy, "Everyone saying poor Tammy. Odds are this woman didn’t care to begin with. Because she only cared about herself. I feel bad for this man’s family." The user added, "She married to be normal. Then because he didn’t drop weight she dropped him because it was revealed he stalked her. Jesus this new wave of people showing empathy for a pompous selfish D-List celebrity that Tammy is a horrible human being just in general from faking her own death and begging for money, etc." "I’ve thought from the beginning that he was absolutely not her type.
