‘MBFFL’ Is Whitney Way Thore’s Half-Sister A Fake?

Whitney Way THore YOutube

MBFFL fans will see a half-sister of Whitney Way Thore in the new season and some of them suspect that she’s actually fake, and an actress. Possibly, their feeling reflects the original rumors that Whitney and Hunter have a secret brother. Why would TLC show a sister is a brother actually exists?

MBFFL: Initial Rumors Suggested A Brother For Whitney & Hunter

When leaks about a potential secret son arrived, they came from someone who regularly posts about the information they glean from family and former friends. Therefore, when the trailer for the show revealed a half-sister, many people felt terribly confused. Actually, the My Big Fat Fabulous Life trailer only showed the rear of the woman on the steps, and she looked to have blonde hair and might possibly be a larger-than-average woman.

The question has to be asked: would TLC go to the point of inventing a fake sister for the MBFFL show? Initially, it was believed that the child was a son fathered by Genn Thore while he was in the military in Asia. The original post on social media definitely mentioned a “he” and Starcasm pointed that out in their story. However, the introduction of a sister makes some fans think there might have been another child out of wedlock, who was raised in America. Either that or TLC simply decided to turn the brother into a sister.

MBFFL: The Confusion About A  Brother

Whitney Way Thore actually claimed that she first heard about her “sister” on the same day that her mom had her last stroke. Actually, that was the sad medical event that finally killed Babs and fans will see the funeral in Season 11. That news about the confession of an illegitimate child came via Whitney’s Q&A on Instagram. So far, everything fits about the original leak except that the sister turned out to be a brother. Naturally, that makes fans wonder if the brother refused to be on the show, so they simply invented a sister.

MBFFL rumors suggested that TLC was done with the show after Babs had passed away.  However, the secret sibling story came up, and Glenn gave it the go-ahead. So, the network reconsidered. Other rumors suggest that Whitney had ten fits about the secret sibling when she first heard the news. Anyway, the show reveals happy Whitney is ever so excited about meeting her half-sister, Angie.

Fans Discuss The Suspected Fakery

When Backwood’s Barbie shared a YouTube video on Reddit about the sister, she also talked about how many people originally heard that it was a son and not a daughter that Glenn sired. In her video, she screenshot a MBFFL fan who said, “I’m sure when this broke he had a son, not a daughter?”

In the comment, one viewer said:

I’m feeling like this is a hire for the show. Guess we’ll see based on how well Glenn can manage the plotline! I found it SUPER weird that she found out the weekend her mom was dying. Like how does that come up in a convo when everyone is focused on Babs?? You’re texting on your way to visit her and asking dad if he wants you to get him coffee and he texts back “oh btw you have a half sibling somewhere that was adopted out”?? I call shenanigans!”

Are you suspicious about Whitney Way Thore’s secret sister? Do you think that TLC would hire a fake actress to take the heat off a real secret brother? Or, did the brother refuse to film and they ran with the story anyway? Let us know in the comments below.
