The Hollywood Reporter

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the TLC reality show filmed between last Saturday and yesterday in Texas, Florida and Mississippi. "Though these particular states' coronavirus policies are patchwork-like at present — multiple counties in Texas and Florida have 'stay-at-home' orders and Mississippi does not yet have any such orders in place — the U.S. government and state governments are recommending social distancing amid the outbreak nationwide," reports The Hollywood Reporter's Katie Kilkenny. After complaints, the show's production company and TLC announced that filming has been halted. "The safety of our show talent, crews and employees is our top priority," TLC said in a statement. "Production on My 600-lb Life has stopped and will not resume until the crisis is resolved. It is our sincere wish that our talent, crews and their families are being safe and staying healthy during this unprecedented time."
