“They’re temporary still, but they had to cement them in because the glue wasn’t holding. Well, my body was rejecting it. But they had to pull teeth. It’s a bridge.”

Tammy continued: “I’m still getting more done with it. It’s a process.” Ezell cheered her on, saying, “Everything’s great. You’ve got new teeth. That’s the people off your back.” “Some of them,” Tammy replied with a laugh and continued:

“They’re always gonna be there. Haters make me famous.”
