“[Jaime’s] wedding and Whitney’s new ‘love interest,'” one Redditor titled their post this week. “So, now that Whitney has been invited to [Jaime’s] wedding, are we expecting to see her hook up with the family friend at the reception? Seems that is what’s being set up to happen given their online ‘date.’ I’m almost willing to bet a big part of the wedding will be drama surrounding Whitney’s love life.”

Many other Redditors agreed and expressed their frustration. Several said they could easily see TLC making the wedding about Whitney and her dating life. Others sympathized with Jaime and felt that Whitney was using her special day for clout.

“Ugh, why does everything have to revolve around Whitney?” another Reddit user chimed in. “Can’t she just be happy for [Jaime] without making it all about her? I can already picture her whining about not having a date or some other drama. It’s exhausting.”

I expected this. Season 12 will be about the wedding and TLC footing the bill? I can’t think of any reason Jaime would agree to it,” someone else added. 

Is the TLC star alienating those around her?

As the current season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life continues, many fans believe that Whitney is pushing away her loved ones. Several viewers pointed out that her friends make very infrequent appearances on the show these days. On top of that, viewers despite how disrespectfully Whitney speaks to her father, Glenn.

After viewing other episodes this season, MBFFL fans think that Whitney would absolutely use Jaime’s wedding as an excuse to stay in the spotlight.

What do you think of the situation? Will Whitney make Jaime’s wedding about herself? Or will she be supportive of her niece? Share your own opinions in the comments.
