The revelation happened on January 15, 2019, on TLC's 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' when daughter Whitney Way Thore discovered a wedding album while going through her family's storage. Initially, she assumed it to be her parents but soon realized that it was not Glenn. She can be seen sharing the shocking news with her brother Hunter, who is an actor and musician based in New York City, about the album. To which Hunter shockingly replies, "This is crazy." And Whitney says, "We had been lied to our whole lives." "Obviously this wedding album is not meant to ever be found. My heart is racing and I feel, like, kind of betrayed in some way," expresses Whitney.
