My Big Fat Fabulous Life has been chronicling the life of Whitney Way Thore for several years, capturing her journey from rising to fame with her dance videos to receiving her own show on TLC. Fans were impressed by her unwavering enthusiasm for dancing, regardless of her weight, which led to her popularity among viewers.
Since her reality TV debut, Whitney’s life has undergone a complete transformation. She has become a prominent advocate for body positivity and has introduced several friends and family members to the show, showcasing the importance of these relationships in her life.
However, in Season 11, Whitney has faced significant criticism for her selfish behavior, particularly in her interactions with Glenn and other family members. Now, some fans of MBFFL believe that she has also treated her best friend, Heather Sykes, poorly.
Viewers of the series were aware of the close friendship between Whitney and Heather. Recently, a Reddit user re-watched an episode from Season 9 and shared their observations, stating, “There are so many examples of Heather not being comfortable.” The user specifically pointed out Heather’s discomfort regarding Whitney’s relationship with Buddy Bell. Many users agreed with the original post, criticizing Whitney for her selfishness and mean-spiritedness. The negative behavior seemed to arise when Heather showed interest in Buddy instead of Whitney, leading to an immediate change in Whitney’s attitude.
The controversy surrounding Whitney’s treatment of Heather has sparked discussions among fans, with some expressing disappointment in Whitney’s behavior and others questioning the authenticity of their friendship. As My Big Fat Fabulous Life continues, viewers eagerly anticipate whether these strained relationships can be repaired and whether Whitney will address the criticisms she has received.
