'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star Whitney mocked for turning it into a 'manhunt' show
When TLC first aired 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' fans instantly took to it. Watching the protagonist Whitney Thore promoting body positivity and working towards her goal of getting fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle resonated very strongly with the audience. They enjoyed watching Whitney's journey of going from a viral internet sensation into an entrepreneur, whose brand was built on body positivity.
As the show continued to gain traction and Whitney's popularity soared, things began to go south. Whitney's focus slowly but steadily seemed to shift from her focus on getting fit and healthy to finding herself a man. The show's extensive focus and coverage of her personal life especially her romantic life didn't strike a chord with the audience. From her failed engagement with Chase Severino to her very confusing dynamic with her best friend Buddy Bell, and now her new mystery French boyfriend, fans aren't here for it.
