In 2008, at her peak weight, she faced capital murder charges for the death of her nephew and falsely confessed in order to protect her sister. A 2012 TLC documentary dubbed her the "Half-Ton Killer." She was eventually cleared of the charges.
Shortly after the murder controversy, she began to lose weight through a combination of dieting and surgery. By 2013, she had dropped 800 pounds to hold the Guinness World Record for Most Weight Lost By A Woman, a record formerly held by Rosalie Bradford.
As of 2017, she lost a further 82 pounds to reach her current weight of 154 pounds.
