Whitney's Walmart Commercial
Whitney has always been happy to be the representation that is lacking in mainstream media, even at the cost of constant judgment. Whitney recently starred in a Walmart commercial advertising their new spring clothing line. In the commercial, she is seen wearing a series of vibrant, bold, and fashion forward outfits. Fans were less than impressed with the advertisement. One Reddit user ames2833 commented, "I don't have a strong opinion of her one way or the other in general, but this commercial was...odd. And what is with that weird floor dancing?"
Whitney's Dancing
Before reality fame, Whitney became a YouTube star, as her dance skills caught the attention of followers and ultimately TLC, which led her to share her story. She has always had a passion for dancing and dreamed of doing it for a living. She learned to incorporate new dance moves into her routines so she could continue to express herself. Whitney proved that a number on the scale shouldn't stop anyone from doing what they love. Many fans are frustrated that the show no longer focuses on her dancing anymore. One Reddit user VillageFantastic8256 wrote, "The show was all about her empowerment and dancing. It's what drew me to the show. I wanted to see her "win" in life. She did have a goal to be a better dancer, find love, have a job, and lose weight. Instead we have an adult that can't hold a job or even walk without having a tantrum."
Whitney's Weight
It's true that Whitney from MBFFL has always been open and honest about her struggle with weight gain. PCOS has affected her self-esteem and impacted her physically and mentally. Despite her diagnosis, she pushes through the negative stereotypes and critical assumptions about her body. Many people think that she has recently gained more weight and has given up. One Reddit user AnniemaeHRI wrote, "She has a food addiction, it's clear in all of her behavior. Unless and until she addresses that her weight will always be a problem."
Whitney recognizes that her message of self-love and acceptance won't resonate with everyone. However, she doesn't let the negative comments and hateful rhetoric get under her skin. It is clear that the My Big Fat Fabulous Life star will continue doing what makes her happy, no matter what anyone else has to say.
