Recently, My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans were quick to pick up on a dangerous family trait that has them concerned. As fans spot something interesting in Glenn Thore’s photo, others pick up on how unhealthy he is looking now.
Glenn Thore Has Been Through Several Tough Years
While My Big Fat Fabulous Life mostly revolves around Whitney Way Thore and her journey through weight loss, her family plays a part in her story. Undeniably, after Whitney’s mom passed away, she began to cling to her dad, Glenn Thore, as a way of moving through the pain. With his huge life transition of losing his wife and best friend, Babs, Glenn’s struggle has been part of the show over the past few seasons. Although many people think Whitney is controlling and Glenn even considered moving in with his long-lost daughter, Angie Vincent, he decided to stay. However, after a photo emerged, some fans were very concerned about his unhealthy appearance. Likewise, they worry his health is primarily in jeopardy due to Whitney.
Fans Worry About Glenn Thore’s Unhealthy Appearance
On Reddit, My Big Fat Fabulous Life viewers caught a detail about Glenn Thore they found fascinating. One user starts a thread, “Glenn Thore Tattoo Sighting!” Then, elaborates, “I thought his might have been fake so I think it’s neat that he actually got it.” They were referring to Glenn debating whether to get a tattoo last season. But quickly other people notice a disturbing clue that Glenn might be more unhealthy than they realized before.
- “He got the tattoo last season with Whitney and Angie.”
- “I thought it was fake too. I’m very surprised.”
- One fan was alarmed by his appearance saying, “I haven’t watched any of the last two seasons so this picture of Glenn comes as somewhat of a shock to me. He seems to be aging quickly. I hope Whitney is treating him right. I like the ink, though.”
- Another viewer notes, “She is not. She belittles and controls him, nonstop. And he’s gained a ton of weight living with her.”
- “I am absolutely with you. I just finished Season 3 and he was so vibrant and spry. This photo is jarring.”
- “Wow … ver unflattering picture 🤦♀️.”
- “Wow he looks unhealthy.”
Fans Think Whitney Needs To Help Her Dad
Furthermore, MBFFL fans were quick to point out that Whitney Way Thore should be investing in her dad, Glenn Thore’s health as well as her own.
- “He needs to think about his health more. I know that’s not in this family’s DNA though.”
- “You mean the cat hair pasta with chicken and broccoli isn’t healthy? /s,” referring to a scene where Whitney pulls cat hair out of her pasta at the dinner table.
- Another person notices, “He has the body of a typical diabetic.”
- Additionally, someone says, “His daughter should sign him up for her No BS Active app for free.”
- But some people believe there could be more to his unhealthy appearance. Saying, “That belly of his is downright scary. Makes one wonder whether he’s coping with depression by eating, and whether this is a shared family trait.”
Give The Man A Break
But some fans thought the comments were unnecessary. Since Glenn Thore is grieving, some people think viewers need to cut him some slack.
- “Oh Christ. When I’m a widowed senior, let me eat whatever the f*ck I want lol. The moment someone younger talks about my poor ‘coping’ habits I’m spitting on them. Glenn is tired. Can he be off limits when it comes to body criticism?”
- “I don’t think it was criticism as much as concern. He gained a lot of weight in a short time. He’s carrying it in the most dangerous area as well.”
- “It’s scary. It’s understandable bc of what he’s been through, but his weight is in such an unhealthy place for a man his age.
