Whitney Way Thore and Heather Sykes were once close friends and appeared together on the show My Big Fat Fabulous Life. However, it seems that their relationship has become strained and they may have drifted apart. Recently, there has been speculation among TLC fans that both women have unfollowed each other on social media. But is this really the case? Let’s delve into the full story.
There have been rumors since September of last year that Whitney Way Thore, daughter of Glenn Thore, has been losing friends. These rumors surfaced before fans of the show met Glenn’s newly discovered daughter, Angie. Whitney posted a photo featuring people with emojis covering their faces and the song “Sweet Home Alabama” playing in the background. In her caption, she expressed excitement about introducing the “wonderful new people” in her life. However, Whitney faced criticism for seemingly excluding her other friends, such as Heather and Lennie Alehat. This led to speculation that Heather and Whitney’s friendship may have suffered as a result.
The possibility of Heather Sykes and the TLC star unfollowing each other gained attention on Reddit. A post shared a screenshot of Heather’s profile with the username “ashdanbay” following her, while a screenshot of Whitney’s profile showed no sign of Heather. The original poster commented on this, stating that it provided further proof of a fallout within the MBFFL (My Big Fat Fabulous Life) group. While the exact timing of the unfollowing is uncertain, it is believed to have occurred between December and the present.
Commenters on the Reddit post assumed that the MBFFL personalities had indeed parted ways. Speculation and curiosity ensued, with people expressing a desire for more information once any non-disclosure agreements expired. Some even mentioned Heather and another girl who had left the show, suggesting that jealousy over their new relationships might have played a role in the alleged fallout.
However, upon investigation, it appears that Whitney Way Thore still follows Heather on Instagram when searching on desktop. The screenshot provided on Reddit showed that Whitney’s profile displayed Heather as a followed account. However, it seems that Heather does not follow Whitney back. It’s important to note that the search results may vary depending on the platform and user settings. Interestingly, when searching for Heather’s followers, Glenn’s daughter’s name does appear. This suggests that there might be a connection between Heather and Glenn’s daughter, as they are both followed by the same account, “ashdanbay.”
In conclusion, while there have been discussions among TLC fans about Whitney Way Thore and Heather Sykes unfollowing each other, the evidence is not entirely conclusive. Whitney still appears to follow Heather, but Heather may not reciprocate the follow. The dynamics of their friendship and any potential fallout remain uncertain.
