But Tammy ignored the backlash as she played around in a new TikTok video while at the rehabilitation facility on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old stared straight into the camera as various Spongebob Squarepants characters flicked across her head.
As music from the cartoon played, the reel stopped on various roles - including Mrs Puff and Squidward.
Tammy was clearly amused by the game, pulling mock-frowns and bursting out laughing when compared to Squidward.
The TLC star has been sharing numerous TikToks during her stay in rehab, prompting concern from her fans.
One wrote under a clip of her dancing: "Girl didn’t you almost die - are you good?"

A third fan commented: "Bruh you almost died, why are you on TikTok?"
Tammy has already lost 115 pounds in 30 days at the facility after her lungs collapsed and she was put into a medically-induced coma.
Tammy's brother Chris Combs gave an update on her health in the season finale of 1,000-Lb Sisters last week.
He told the camera: "So she's lost 100 - I think she told me 115lb in total in 30 days.
"I'm overjoyed that's she's ready to get on this train and start rolling down the tracks."
This means Tammy could be at around 534lb now. She is planning to stay in rehab for eight months.
Dr Smith promised Tammy that if she’s able to dip under 500lb during her stay, he’ll arrange for her to come directly to him for weight-loss surgery when she leaves the facility.
NEAR-DEATH ORDEAL
Tammy was rushed to hospital one day after arriving at rehab because she couldn't breathe.
"They're just telling us that her lungs have given up, and like her body is shutting down," their sister Amanda said during the finale.
Tammy was placed on a ventilator and then put into a medically-induced coma at the hospital.
When she woke up, she was given a tracheotomy - which involved having a breathing tube inserted in her throat.
After three weeks in hospital, she was able to return to rehab.
"I'm happy, I'm relieved, I'm still sad. I'm just grateful," Amanda said. "I'm just like, good looking out up there, you know. Thanks. We prayed for a miracle and God gave us one."
"She's okay. She's still alive. She has her life," their other sister, Amy, added.
PARTY LIFESTYLE
Tammy has sparked concern on the TLC show with her partying, drinking, and smoking.
The TV personality had been struggling to lose weight and reach her goal of 550lb from 639lb.
In one episode, Tammy was picked up by her friends to hang out.
During her confessional, she said: "We've just been drinking, vaping. As a teenager, I wasn't doing any partying. I was super shy about my weight and I didn't really have many friends."
She added: "But now, I'm at the point where I don't care. I'm gonna be me. We don't eat healthily. Because for me, if I eat something like pizza or pizza rolls, the bread soaks up the alcohol and the grease helps so we don't get too hungover."
