Many viewers and fans were confused by Tammy's outburst of emotions, but the 38-year-old explained that there was more to the story.

In her video, Tammy said that she "loves Amy to death" but claimed her sister wasn't in the best state at the time of filming.

She also said there were many moments viewers didn't see in the lead-up to their argument.

Tammy asked viewers to consider what goes on when the cameras are off before jumping to conclusions.

"Everybody assumes everything is caught on camera and it's not," she explained.

"I'm not always the bad guy here and I'm not trying to be a victim either.

"I just wish people would get the story straight before judging and assuming."

Tammy did apologise to her sister in the video, saying: "I am sorry for the way I treated her and I'm sorry for the names I called her, but at the same time she's reckless and didn't care about nothing. That was embarrasing for me.

"I am sorry, I do love you... but I have to be honest and true to myself."

In the comment section of Tammy's post fans remained divided over the matter.

Some showed their support for the sisters and looked forward to a "reconciliation to resolve differences" while others remained firm on their view that Tammy "got it wrong this time".
