On the show My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney Way Thore has a tight relationship with her mother, Barbara “Babs” Thore; yet, some viewers find it annoying that Whitney talks to her mother in such a disrespectful manner. Fans are sick of Whitney talking to the reality TV mom in a manner appropriate for a child, even though the mother is famous for her quick wit and fiery attitude.
After Babs suffered a stroke in December 2021, Whitney remained at her side throughout the recovery process. During Babs’ continued rehabilitation, Whitney assists with the care being provided for her.
Fans Think Whitney Thore Disrespects Her Mother
Fans are annoyed with Whitney because they think she is overly arrogant and acts like a child when caring for her mother. The user PhoneSl*tPro created a thread on Reddit complaining about the reality star’s annoying behaviour: “It is so cringing to watch Whitney talk to her mom like a baby…I mean, she talks to her like an infant and says things like ‘are you my girl?’ and ‘you’re so cute…
Holy crap. I can NOTTTT!” The viewers of My Big Fat Fabulous Life believe that Babs should continue to be treated with the same respect she was given because she was always strong and independent. The primary themes of My Big Fat Fabulous Life have been Whitney’s personal life, including her romantic endeavours, relationships, and physical well-being. The tenth season has begun, and it has been a significant focus to see Babs become healthy and back on her feet.
Her devoted followers are relieved to hear the good news that she is recovering, but they worry that Whitney is exploiting her health scare for personal gain. They think she’s exploiting the situation for publicity and popularity on social media platforms. Commenter “Fickle-Secretary681” on the thread said, “It’s revolting and vile that she’s using her mother as a storyline. How Glenn allowed this is beyond me.” In the eyes of Whitney’s fans, this is the most embarrassing moment of her career.
Babs moved into the Abbotswood Senior Living facility to receive the round-the-clock care and support she requires after a stroke. Whitney and her father, Glenn Thore, moved in with her to be close to Babs and lend a hand whenever possible. While it’s undeniable that Whitney loves her mother, some viewers may feel that she goes to extreme ends.
The star of “My Big Fat Fabulous Life” has received criticism and support recently. Some of Whitney’s supporters acknowledge that it can’t be easy for her to be in her current position, dealing with such an unsettling and unforeseen tragedy. Everyone can relate, and Whitney’s maturity and grace in the face of so many challenges are evidence of her deep love for her mother. They hope, however, that she will learn to treat her mother with the dignity she deserves.
A different perspective was presented in the post by user 1234CmonBBSayULuvMe: “I’ve been on the fence about this, given I have no idea what it feels like to see a dear loved one like that, but the current episode did me in. It was heartbreaking to see her talk to her mother the way she does.”
There’s no denying that Babs’s stroke has impacted Whitney and the rest of the family, but it seems like she’s doing better and better every day. She appears happy and content. Viewers of My Big Fat Fabulous Life wish Whitney would stop talking to her mother like a child and start treating her as a capable adult.
