My Big Fat Fabulous Life: Whitney Thore Hits Pause on Her Life
MBFFL diva Whitney Way Thore decided to take a break from the heat in Greensboro, North Carolina – and some life stress. She revealed she’s on a “Summer sabbatical” in Marseille, France. This came a few days after Whitney told followers that she didn’t need their criticism of her lip fillers or any other aspect of her physical appearance.
It looks like Whitney Thore’s having a great time on her European getaway. She’s spending time with Natalie Drue Hage, a plus size fashionista and body-positive influencer. In addition to soaking up the sun and enjoying time in the pool, Whitney’s talked about the upcoming season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life.
But a lot of Whitney’s time seems to be spent just enjoying herself with her friend Natalie. Recently, she posted that there are two types of women on vacation and shared a pic of her pal Natalie in the pool. See that photo above. You must look carefully to see Whitney Thore – the second type – who likes to enjoy the sun. That’s the My Big Fat Fabulous Life star on the chaise with a pillow on her face…
New Medical Condition Revealed – What’s the Fat Fab Star Got?
Recently, while on her getaway, Whitney Thore of My Big Fat Fabulous Life showed off splotches on her neck and upper chest. She asked what’s a “summer sabbatical without newly acquired eczema?” So, it seems like this is not something Whitney’s struggled with before. She’s spoken with candor about her PCOS and the medical issues that came with it.
A quick search shows that family history is the most common risk factor for eczema. Many followers of My Big Fat Fabulous Life’s Whitney were quick to chime in with advice. Some told her to smear Vaseline on it. Another offered the scary tip that Epstein Barr virus causes the skin condition. Her BFF Buddy Bell said “Oh noooooooo!!”
This comes after a photo share where Whitney assured fans she was happy – even though she didn’t look it.
Then, a hater dropped in to ask what Whitney Thore was taking a sabbatical from and asked if she knew what the word meant. Another My Big Fat Fabulous Life fan clapped back on him defending Whitney’s choice of what she wanted to call her vacation. You can see the photo of her new medical issue above. No word on whether she tried the Vaseline tip or not…
