Becky is only temporary. Amberlynn knows how useless she is long term. Becky is just the best thing right now. If Amberlynn loses any weight, she will deep six ol' crooked face. This is all bad for Becky. I am sure that 500 pound lesbians are fairly common in Kentucky, but I doubt any of them outside Amberlynn make over $100,000 per annum.
What you get when you do a show like this: appearance fee ($1000-$2000 probably), stipend for moving expenses, housing near doctor for the shooting period, and medical coverage for bariatric treatment. Cosmetic surgeries are not covered. Medical unrelated to fatness may incur bills to patient. Amberlynn would get very little money out of this. No royalties are paid to subjects.
Here's what I don't get: Family by the Ton follows a fat family. Who else does Amber have to count as a family to take on the show with her? Or does the show just grab a bunch of fatties and create the narrative that they're related?
The show they considered her for did not use her because they did not want her, the show could not use her , the casting was canceled, or whatever. As they already had her "in the system", the casting person tried to see if there was another TLC freak show angle to use with her.
She sounds so happy about being considered for these super mega fat fuck freak shows. Normal humans would be devastated to find out they're such a monstrosity that people want to gawk at them on tv.
She really really really believes that she is special and this casting was about her talent, personality, and life story. No, fatso, you are just a giant lard-arse in the top 1% of giant lard-arses.
As insufferable as she is now, it would only get worse if she was on a show or succeeded in losing weight. She would read her awful poetry on the show. More idiots would be all over her saying how proud they are they she is trying. It would lead to really bad things.
