My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans are floored after Lennie Alehat opened up about Whitney Way Thore. Lennie and Whitney dated for some time, but called it quits. Since then, Lennie has moved on to get married and have a child, who Whitney has met. However, the TLC star’s ex had some tough love for Whitney. Here is what he had to say and why fans are praising him.
Lennie Says Whitney Way Thore Needs To ‘Grow Up’
In a confessional, Lennie told MBFFL viewers that Whitney Way Thore needs to “grow up and realize what her options are.” He continued, saying that “nobody is really telling the truth here,” referring to Whitney’s friend group.
Lennie went on to say that the My Big Fat Fab Life star is “picky” and “wants something out of reach.” He pointed out that Whitney is unable to look inward and figure out what’s wrong with herself. “Everybody telling you that you’re perfect all the time isn’t going to make you change,” he told producers.
Then, in another clip, Whitney Way Thore is confronted about her weight by Tal Fish. It is pointed out that if she lost some more weight she’d likely be able to find a man and reach some more of her goals. He tells cameras that if he had something (like his weight) that he could change to help him improve his life, he’d do it.
Fans Think Whitney’s Personality Needs An Overhaul
The clips were shared to Reddit where MBFFL fans weighed in on what the men had to say. One person suggested that the only reason Lennie said anything in a confessional is because he know Whitney wouldn’t see it until after the season aired.
“He’s cashed his paycheck,” they wrote. The person also mentioned that Lennie has likely tied up massage school and has a “steady income coming in.” However, “If he said this in person, she would have gotten pissed and likely cut him out from the remainder of the season.”
Another fan stated that Whitney Way Thore’s weight isn’t the only reason she can’t find love. “Her weight isn’t the only reason she’s single (her personality is certainly part of it) but it is absolutely a huge factor,” they commented. “She’s delusional to think otherwise.”
Others agreed, saying that, while it is easier to date when you’re thinner, you still need to have a good personality to make things work. “It isn’t just her size in the way, her personality is the main issue,” a third fan wrote.
It isn’t known has Whitney Way Thore has reacted to seeing Lennie Alehat’s confessional yet. Viewers are interested to see how she’ll take the advice and criticism being given.
New episodes of My Big Fat Fabulous Life air on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on TLC.
