One comment stated, "That house is filthy. Focus on cleaning."

Another comment read, "If you know your house is going to be on national TV wouldn’t you vacuum and run a mop over the floor? Pick up the trash?"

"Filthy house. There is no reason for that. A little clutter is expected when you have children but that is disgusting," explained an individual. 

Another added, "No idea how CPS hasn’t taken her kids away. That house is filthy. Ridiculous."

This isn’t the first time Amy has faced backlash for her living conditions.

Amy Slaton previously broke down over backlash from cockroach incident in YouTube video

In a previous YouTube video, fans reportedly noticed a cockroach crawling in the background, leading to significant criticism of Amy Slaton.

Amy later addressed the incident on the show, visibly emotional as she explained, “In the past, in my YouTube channels, a cockroach was in my video, and then the fans and haters seen it. People were hating on me so much that it just broke me.”

Amy has acknowledged her struggles with hoarding tendencies, a habit she attributes to her family's history.



 

“Years of generations taught me that way. My grandma was a hoarder, my mom’s a hoarder,” she revealed during a December 2021 episode.

“I know what it’s like coming from a hoarder house, where you barely had a snake line to get through the house,” she added.

Amy Slaton keeps low profile after arrest for drug possession

Amy Slaton has kept a low profile on social media following her arrest on September 2 for child endangerment and drug possession charges.

The incident took place at Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo, where Amy and her children, Gage, 3, and Glenn, 2, were visiting with a man named Brian Scott Lovvorn.

The trouble began after a zoo guest was bitten by a camel, prompting a 911 call. When authorities arrived, they were struck by “suspicious odors” coming from Amy’s vehicle.

“An employee at the safari park called 911 reporting that they needed an ambulance because someone had been bit by a camel,” public information officer Stephen Sutton explained.

As authorities conducted their investigation, they found what they believed to be mushrooms and marijuana in plain sight inside her vehicle.

Amy was arrested on charges of illegally possessing Schedule I and Schedule VI substances, as well as two counts of child endangerment.

After her arrest, Amy was taken to the hospital due to the camel bite but was later booked into Crockett County Jail.



 

She was released the following day on a $10,000 bond posted by her brother, Chris Combs. Amy and Brian appeared in court on September 5, where she pleaded not guilty to all charges. She is set to return to court on November 7.

After the incident, Amy stayed away from social media for a while but returned on October 16, sharing heartwarming photos of her two sons in matching Casper the Friendly Ghost Halloween pajamas.
