I’m Struggling To Understand 1000-Lb Sisters Star Amanda Halterman’s Relationship With Leonard Moore (She’s Mixing Business With Pleasure)
1000-lb Sistersstar Amanda Halterman is dating someone new, but her connection with Leonard Moore has been revealed to have some interesting layers and I’m struggling to understand their relationship. Throughout the last few seasons of the show, Amanda has been seen going through some difficult times, especially in her love life. After divorcing her husband of over 20 years, Jason Halterman, Amanda was ready to get out on the dating scene and see if she could make any new connections. Her first forays into the dating pool weren’t ideal, but it became clear that Amanda found something real recently.
After teasing out the idea of having gotten into a new relationship, Amanda revealed that she was dating Leonard in a recent Instagram post. While she’d been clear that she was in a new relationship in previous posts, Amanda shared a photo with her new boyfriend on her social media profile and made it clear that she was happy in her new chapter. After learning of Leonard’s identity, things began to get somewhat strange for the 1000-lb Sisters season 6 standout. Amanda’s relationship may be something that’s making her happy, but her connection with Leonard is something I’m struggling with.
Amanda’s Referred To Leonard As Her Manager & Her Boyfriend
She’s Shared More About Their Romance
Although Amanda has been upfront about her relationship with Leonard, there have been some strange developments surrounding their relationship and their involvement in a professional capacity in recent weeks. After sharing that Leonard was her boyfriend, Amanda began making it clear that she was spending a lot of time with her new love in her home state of Kentucky, which many had been speculating about before her announcement. While Amanda was sharing more about herself, she wasn’t sharing direct details about her relationship overall, which some found to be strange from the 1000-lb Sisters star, who’s usually an open book.
Amanda’s hesitance to share more about her relationship with Leonard directly made more sense in the coming days, when it became clear that her boyfriend was also working as her new talent manager. Throughout the run of 1000-lb Sisters, the family has worked with different talent management solutions to do brand deals and projects outside of their show, but their professional and personal relationships never appeared to cross over. With Amanda and Leonard blurring that line, I’ve been skeptical about how serious their relationship is, and on top of that, what Leonard’s intentions are surrounding Amanda’s existing reality TV stardom.
Leonard’s “Talent Manager” Bio Online Is Eye Opening
He’s Looking At Amanda As A Business
Leonard may not be incredibly present on the 1000-lb Sisters star’s social media pages yet, but he’s been sharing everything he can about his time as Amanda’s talent manager on his own pages. Having yet to reference Amanda as someone present in his personal life, Leonard has instead used all of the social media channels he has to advertise that he’s become Amanda’s talent manager in the last few months. While he hasn’t made specific posts about what he’s been doing for Amanda in her career, he’s completely rebranded himself as a professional talent manager with Amanda as his client.
While it’s clear that Amanda has been open and excited to bring Leonard into her career, it’s a bit muddier as to what she’s allowed him to do for her in a business sense. Amanda has been on 1000-lb Sisters for years, which means it’s likely she’s had a talent manager for some time, but seeing Leonard attached to her as a business partner is strange. I’m not sure if it’s because Amanda’s announcement had no information about her professional life being involved in their relationship, or if it’s because of Leonard’s lack of personal posts, but something is off.
Could Amanda Be Getting Taken Advantage Of?
Leonard May Not Be Interested In A Romance
While I hope this isn’t the case, Amanda being part of Leonard’s newfound talent management business strikes me with the possibility that she could be getting taken advantage of. Though Amanda is a strong, independent woman with business sense, I’m not sure if she would see someone taking advantage of her coming if they were in a genuine romantic relationship. It appears that Amanda and Leonard’s relationship is legitimate, or at least it is in Amanda’s eyes, meaning her guard may be down surrounding her professional life. Leonard may have seen an opening to get into reality TV with Amanda.
Though it’s merely speculation, Amanda being so upfront about the fact that she’s in a new romantic relationship with Leonard while he’s only shared professional information about her has me concerned that something is going awry. I’m struggling to understand where Amanda and Leonard’s relationship stands, and while.I don’t need to know the details, I’d like to be clear on whether their romance is legitimate. I want what’s best for the 1000-lb Sisters star, so my hope is that Leonard is a genuine partner for Amanda moving forward.
