My Big Fat Fabulous Life star Whitney Thore's latest social media post with her father, Glenn Thore, is under scrutiny. However, the 39-year-old isn't a stranger to online controversy or harsh opinions from others. Since her dancing video on YouTube went viral nine years ago, her entire life has been in the spotlight.
Whitney is family oriented and has always had a close relationship with her parents on My Big Fat Fabulous Life. With a heavy heart, she announced in December 2022 that her mother, Barbara 'Babs' Thore passed away. Since that time, her family has been doing their best to cope with the loss. Whitney and Glenn, in particular, have developed a close bond and have supported one another through their grief.
Whitney Thore's Photo Shoot With Glenn
Recently, the My Big Fat Fabulous Life star posted a unique photo shoot with her father, Glenn. Interestingly enough, it wasn't a typical father-daughter photo session. Whitney shared a montage of pictures in a flower field with her dad and her dog, captioning the post, "Couples flower photo shoot but with your Dad and your dog."
In the pictures, Whitney was enjoying the beautiful flowers with the bright blue sky and lushish green trees as the backdrop. She captured shots in various poses with her dog and her dad by her side. Although the idea for the photos was a sweet sentiment, her followers found it bizarre that Whitney was kissing Glenn on the lips. One fan commented on her post, "The kiss is a little weird." Similar comments were shared throughout the post, agreeing that it was strange.
MBFFL's Whitney Thore & Glenn Are Creating Memories
Since Babs passed away, Whitney has been making it a point to spend more time with Glenn. Making memories is important, and she isn't taking any moment with her dad for granted. Their photo shoot is just one of many fun activities they have done together lately, like going to the aquarium, working out at the gym, and taking a dip in the pool. While some fans found her post odd, she has always been very affectionate toward both of her parents. Her mother's passing has put life into perspective for the My Big Fat Fabulous Life star, and she wants her family to know how much they mean to her.
Whitney isn't letting any of the criticism affect her, and she's living life as she chooses to, just as she always has. Even before My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney had become accustomed to dealing with preconceived notions and strong opinions, and her attitude toward it all never wavered. In this instance, Whitney is taking the same approach and enjoying time with her dad as much as possible.
