‘MBFFL’ Fans Concerned Over Glenn Thore’s Health

Recently, My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans noticed a concerning trait within the Thore family that has sparked worry. While viewing a recent photo of Glenn Thore, many observers pointed out his noticeably unhealthy appearance.

My Big Fat Fabulous Life primarily focuses on Whitney Way Thore’s weight loss journey, but her family, including her father Glenn Thore, significantly impacts her story. Following the death of Whitney’s mother, Babs, Whitney has leaned on her father for support. Glenn’s personal struggles, especially the loss of his wife, have been part of the show’s narrative for the past few seasons. Despite some fans labeling Whitney as controlling and suggesting Glenn might move in with his other daughter, Angie Vincent, Glenn chose to stay. However, a recent photo of him sparked alarm among fans due to his unhealthy appearance, with many attributing his decline in health to Whitney’s influence.

On Reddit, fans of the show turned their attention to Glenn Thore after spotting something surprising. A user started a thread titled, “Glenn Thore Tattoo Sighting!” This user, along with others, discussed how Glenn had debated getting a tattoo last season, and it turned out he did get one. However, fans quickly noticed another detail in the photo — Glenn appeared unhealthier than before.

  • “He got the tattoo last season with Whitney and Angie.”
  • “I thought it was fake too. I’m very surprised.”
  • One fan commented on his appearance, “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 noted, “She is not. She belittles and controls him, nonstop. And he’s gained a ton of weight living with her.”
  • “I just finished Season 3 and he was so vibrant and spry. This photo is jarring.”
  • “Wow … very unflattering picture.”
  • “Wow, he looks unhealthy.”

Further discussions among fans focused on Whitney’s responsibility towards her father’s health. Some believe Whitney should pay more attention to Glenn’s health, suggesting a healthier lifestyle for him.

  • “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?” one fan quipped, referring to a scene where Whitney finds cat hair in her dinner.

Fans continued to express their concerns, relating Glenn’s appearance to potential health issues.

  • “He has the body of a typical diabetic.”
  • Someone suggested, “His daughter should sign him up for her No BS Active app for free.”
  • Another comment speculated, “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.”

While many fans voiced worries about Glenn’s health, others stressed the need to be compassionate. Given that Glenn is grieving, they argued that he deserves to be cut 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 because of what he’s been through, but his weight is in such an unhealthy place for a man his age.”
