Whitney Way Thore’s Energy Cleanse Grosses Out Friends — Here’s Why

My Big Fat Fabulous Life star, Whitney Way Thore, is known for her unapologetic demeanor. While her friends are generally used to her antics, she recently took things to a whole new level by attempting an energy cleanse that left them completely grossed out.

Whitney is currently in a phase of self-discovery as she approaches her forties. Determined to make positive changes, she is trying different methods to get her life on track. This season on My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney has openly shared her feelings about aging and not being where she envisioned herself at this stage of life. Despite her discouragement, she’s taking her friends’ advice to let go of the past. In a recent episode preview, Whitney mentioned, “Gina advised me to let go of the trauma of my past relationships.”

Whitney elaborated, “And I was hoping to do that via therapy, maybe positive affirmations, learning some mantras, some sensible chanting, but I don’t even know what this is.” She was referring to an energy cleanse she’s trying, aimed at allowing her to move forward. While her friends are supportive, Whitney’s unique approach makes them question their decision to help.

TLC’s Instagram page shared a teaser for the upcoming episode, which features Whitney grossing out her friends. The caption reads: “This about releasing energy, not pee! 🤣 See Whitney’s energy cleanse on an all-new #MyBigFatFabLife, Tuesday at 9/8c.” In the clip, Whitney is seen sitting in a kiddie pool in her living room. As she contemplates her situation, she quips, “I will probably die from inhalation of toxic chemicals or hypothermia before I ever even get back to therapy,” and then candidly adds, “It’s gonna make me pee.”

Tal Fish, one of Whitney’s long-time friends, sits next to her in the kiddie pool, reading instructions from his phone. His face clearly shows his dismay when Whitney announces her need to pee. Without hesitation, he sternly replies, “This is about releasing dark energy. Not about releasing urine. Please contain yourself.” Whitney tries to reassure him, “No, no, I’m not going to do it on purpose,” but the situation remains awkward.

Whitney defends herself by explaining, “My body is conditioned, even when I hit, the shower water hits me. You know this about me!” Tal can’t help but laugh, though he somewhat regrets his involvement, saying, “Yeah, and yet I brought this pool into your living room.” Whitney quips back, “Exactly!” Meanwhile, their friend Todd Beasley watches in shock, stupefied by what he’s witnessing.

Tal and Todd continue assisting Whitney with her unconventional energy cleanse despite their initial shock. Tal reads that rosemary helps cleanse energy and uses salt for additional purification. Eyebrows raised, the friends add a humorous twist to the situation, with Todd guiding Whitney through breathing exercises. Amid giggles and exchanges about past relationships, they manage to make the experience more tolerable.

Viewers shared mixed reactions:

• “I love how supportive Whitney’s friends are & she is with them. This was a cute idea, it’s the thought that counts. Shows how much she’s loved. ❤️.”
