Whitney shuts down the haters

The star of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney Way Thore, is fat and proud. Weighing nearly 200kg, the North Carolina native is proud of who she is and how her body looks.

With the third season of her show about to start, New Idea sits down with Whitney to discuss what audiences can expect.

  

Early on in the first episode, when chatting to her former boyfriend and now roommate Buddy, Whitney – who first found fame via a viral A Fat Girl Dancing video – declares: ‘I love being fat.’ It’s a statement that’s sure to shock viewers.

  

‘I said that very purposefully because a lot of people have the idea I don’t really love my body. They say things like: “You’ve just made peace with it, you’ve just accepted it” – but that’s not true,’ Whitney explains.
