1000-Lb. The sisters star, Tammy, was not rejected by Jerry because of pansexuality

Star “1000 Lb Sisters” Tammy Slaton was left in the dust by her on-screen boyfriend, Jerry, after revealing that she was pansexual – but the guy didn’t dive in … TMZ learned.

Jerry Sykes tells us … yes, he left Tammy and ended his relationship – as depicted in the Monday night episode on TLC – but it’s not for the reason that everyone can think … that is, that she revealed that she is attracted to everyone the types of people, which seemed to confuse him.

You will remember … Tammy made the revelation, which was sparked in a clip over the weekend. Jerry looked especially stunned. Tammy said he would date a trans person. As soon as the episode aired, viewers discovered that he ended up breaking things and moving on.

This not only angered Tammy, but viewers were left wondering about the moment – you know, since Tammy had just revealed herself and was honest about her sexuality at the beginning of the episode. He wants to clarify things … this is not about pansexuality.

Jerry says he needed a break, because he felt guilty about a previous relationship – his marriage, no less – and had to reconcile before proceeding with Tammy.

In February – about three to four months AFTER the pansexual episode was filmed – we are told that Jerry and Tammy were not yet romantically involved. It is not clear whether they are still communicating at this point … but everything he has had to deal with is still being addressed.

Jerry’s domestic drama lies in his ex-wife, Kia Russell-Rucker Sykes … who told TMZ that she found out about Jerry’s relationship with Tammy through TV and friends – which came as a novelty to her when she heard about it, sometime during the first season last year.

Kia says they split up and she believes Tammy is a housebreaker. That said, she says that she and Jerry are still talking … and that he helps her financially. It looks like they’re on decent terms – especially after Jerry came back to negotiate.
