Whitney Way Thore and TLC faced accusations of fakery on My Big Fat Fabulous Life in the past. Now, MBFFL critics think they found proof that faking it happens. And this time, it’s not so much about editing, but allegedly deliberate fakery. Read on to find out what happened.
‘My Big Fat Fabulous Life’ Reality Show Isn’t Real?
My Big Fat Fabulous Life is not the only show accused of fakery by TLC. Even Matt Roloff told his Little People, Big World fans to not get so worked up over the show.
So, it sounds like some scenes are definitely staged and rehearsed. However, no matter how many times people watch, they get upset about fakery.
Remember when Whitney Way Thore had her long-distance relationship with the French tutor? Hardly anyone believed he was real,l and if he existed, he wasn’t in love with her.
Fortunately, TLC dropped the storyline. Actually, a lot of viewers threatened to boycott the show if she persisted with Mr. No Face. Now, more allegations of fakery arrived.
Proof Of TLC Fakery?
On Reddit, My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans saw an OP post a screenshot from BuzzFeed, and the original gave more information about alleged fakery by TLC and Whitney Way Thore. In the screenshot, it said:
The TLC show My Big Fat Fabulous Life, filmed at the shoe store where my husband worked. He refused to sign a waiver (didn’t want to be on TV). and while he was working with his client, a producer told him he needed to be quiet while they filmed. He told him that they were at his place of employment, so they needed to quiet down while he was trying to work. They [allegedly] paid his coworker to ask [Whitney Thorne] (sic) out on a date. paid for the date, and offered to fly him to California to film additonal scenes for the show.
More followed, and the rest of the post about TLC’s MBFFL said:
He had a girlfriend and was never interested in the ‘star.’ I watched the episodes featuring the store and the ‘date’ and thought it was hilarious that she was making fun of how cheesy shoe salesmen are when the entire thing was staged for the show.
My Big Fat Fabulous Life Fans Comment On Fakery
On Reddit, many people recall Whitney Way Thore and the shoe salesperson.
- Would love to read more stories from people who were on reality shows, by what I’ve read so far, they’re worse than I thought. What they do is ridiculous [and] a joke, they think people are stupid.
- …people…take too many things at face value, susceptible to misinformation, social engineering.
- Sad had to pay for her to have a date.
- This is as bad as that time in season 4 where she “accidently” ends up on a date with her female high school friend, literally no date has been genuine they are even still pulling the same cr-p in recent seasons with toy boy Rishi and virtual squirrel guy whoever he was.
