If the aunt of Whitney Way Thore had indeed raised Angie, then it seemed likely that she knew about her sister years ago. After all, Angie’s alive and well. So, that just gave critics one more finger to point with and claim fakery. Another theory that drove the allegations of fakery came because leaks suggested there was a brother, not a sister. However, if one exists he might be the son of a woman whom Glenn met in Japan, named Keiko.

Angie Was Not Raised By The Aunt Of Whitney Way Thore?

Some MBFFL fans grew very concerned with all the theories, so they took to Reddit to discuss everything. Unfortunately, while confusion reigns, Whitney Way Thore takes a lot of heat from critics. With more information coming in, it seems that more facts emerge. If you don’t know, Angie was with Jimmy Daughdrill but is now married to Frank Burdett. She works in Irvington, Alabama as a bartender. Apparently, Her original maiden name was Vincent.

MBFFL Debunking Who Raised Angie Vincent

Whitney Way Thore’s half-sister being raised by Kim Thore seems to have been misinterpreted by a social media influencer. Speaking about it on the r/MyBigFatFabulouLife subreddit, u/fyrdancr shared a photo of Angis’s father. And, his surname “is Dollison.” So, the poster explained, “While Angie’s birth mom may have lived with Kim, Angie was adopted out at three months to this couple in the pic.” Therefore, they reasoned, she “… was NOT adopted/raised by Glenn’s sister.” If Angie’s adoption happened at the age of “3 months,” obviously, she wouldn’t recall that time in her life.

Unfortunately, it seems that Jackie passed away, as mentioned by Jaime, so nobody can clarify with Angie’s mom how long she stayed with Kim after the birth of her baby. Other posts also show the family talking about Grandpa Dollison.
