Whitney Way Thore’s biological clock ticked into high gear a few years ago. But the perpetually single reality star, 41, had limited options available. Viewers watched her struggle with romantic relationships and weight problems for years on My Big Fat Fabulous Life.
In Season 13, she decided to take matters into her own hands with a sperm donor. Is she pregnant? The MBFFL star shared a sonogram pic with fans.
MBFFL Star’s Biological Clock Is Ticking
Whitney Way Thore’s TLC show began as a weight loss journey, but turned into a journey to love and motherhood. The MBFFL star made a huge life change in the Season 13 finale. She moved from North Carolina to Salem, Massachusetts.
With the help of her friends, she also chose a sperm donor in her quest to have a baby. “I just thought I realistically should not waste any more time,” she told E! News about the unconventional method.
Whitney Way Thore Shares Sonogram Pic With Fans
Season 13 ended without any news about a pregnancy. TLC has yet to confirm another season, but it seems likely because Whitney Way Thore has a lot more to share with fans. She took to social media over the weekend to share a sonogram picture.
She’s sitting on a bench in the gym in the photo with her arm leaning on a basketball. The MBFFL proudly looks at the sonogram she’s holding up.
But Is She Really Pregnant?
MBFFL fans are eagerly awaiting a pregnancy announcement from Whitney Way Thore, but this wasn’t it. The reason she posted the photo on social media was to call it out as fake and let fans know it wasn’t real. The TLC star went on a rant about the doctored photo.
“I don’t know who made the AI image or why they posted it everywhere claiming I was pregnant. To me, the first image is obviously fake when I look at the ultrasound or zoom in on my fingers — but it is scary because at first glance, just looking at my body and face,” she wrote.
She added some reminders to fans about scrolling on the internet. “The internet isn’t real. Internet use (and life) requires critical thinking. Anyone writing about / dehumanizing me on a “fan page” or forum is literally just as much a stranger to me as you are,” she lectured.
Whitney Way Thore continued, “I can promise you that no one who is in my real life is writing about me on the internet, but hundreds of people are mentally ill enough to claim otherwise.”
The MBFFL star added, “It’s kind of wild to harass a woman with PCOS and fertility issues about whether she’s pregnant or not on a public forum.”
“If and when I’m ready to share, I will,” she promised fans. She included the original non-doctored photo in her post. It’s the same setting in the gym but without the fake sonogram.
Despite her lengthy explanation about the use of AI, several of her followers still thought it was a pregnancy announcement. Were you fooled by the doctored photo circulating on the internet?
