TLC clearly knew that the Slaton sisters would make for great reality TV. The duo is genuinely funny; not an episode goes by without one of them making a memeable quip or two, from "sodies" to paying their bills. Clearly, the opportunity to cash in was there and Tammy Slaton did exactly that when she launched an official merch storefront around 2021. The store was run in partnership with someone named Quincy. While the idea sounds good on paper, it looks like neither Tammy nor Quincy brushed up on copyright law before beginning their business venture.
As a result, the pair soon became entangled in legal drama when fans noticed that Tammy's products were littered with "borrowed" art. A YouTuber named Backwoods Barbi made a video detailing the messy merch situation. She also reached out to Ponychops, the artist behind some of the allegedly stolen art. As seen in their message screenshots, Ponychops confirmed that Quincy was indeed selling products featuring her artwork without asking for permission and even got angry when she called him out on it.
A screenshot of one of Quincy's Instagram Stories from that time also appears to verify that he did get a bit heated after being accused of theft. In the Story, Quincy declared that artists who draw Tammy usually ask for a follow or attention from the TLC star instead of payment. After facing a wave of backlash on social media, Tammy and Quincy shut down their online store.
