“1000-Lb. Sisters” star Amy Slaton was bitten by a camel during her catastrophic visit to a safari zoo this week … at least that’s what her lawyer is claiming.
Taylor Hughes, an attorney for the TLC personality, hit back at claims from zoo owner Jon Conley … who placed doubt the reality TV star’s wound prior to her arrest was inflicted by a camel.
Amy is sticking to her story, however … with her lawyer assuring TMZ she was “bitten by a camel at the zoo.”
Despite Amy’s recent appearance in court for the legal woes — she was arrested Monday for alleged possession of drugs and child endangerment — her lawyer noted there were no updates to share in the highly publicized case … including an update regarding custody of her 2 sons, Glenn and Gage.
Hughes did express Amy’s thanks to her fans, who’ve sent “love and support” during this trying time.
As TMZ previously reported … Amy was booked in Tennessee on Labor Day after an incident at the Safari Park in Alamo. Initially, cops arrived on the scene after a zoo employee called in that a guest had been bitten by one of the animals … namely, a camel.
Amy was taken away on a stretcher … and was later booked after psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana were allegedly discovered in plain sight in her car … with 2 children inside the vehicle.
As photos began surfacing of Amy’s wound, the zoo owner claimed there was no way a camel chomp would’ve caused such a gash … citing her lack of bruised tissue as evidence.
A bit of a he-said, she-said situation at the moment … but Amy has more important matters to focus on, TBH.
