In a heartwarming twist on TLC’s “My Big Fat Fabulous Life,” Whitney Way Thore has tackled a DIY home renovation project that’s anything but ordinary. The reality star and her brother, Hunter Thore, set out to transform their late mother’s home in Greensboro, NC, hoping to convince their father, Glenn Thore, to keep the house rather than sell it.
A Bold Renovation Effort
Whitney, 40, and Hunter embarked on this renovation journey with the best intentions. The project aimed to update a downstairs bedroom that had sentimental value, originally serving as a playroom and a filming location for Whitney’s viral video series, “107.5 KZL Fat Girl Dancing.” The siblings hoped their efforts would persuade Glenn to retain the five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home, which he had considered selling following the passing of Whitney’s mother, Barbara “Babs” Thore, in 2022.
In an exclusive sneak peek from the September 10 episode, the duo’s grand reveal doesn’t quite go as planned. Whitney admits to feeling anxious about the outcome, fearing her father’s reaction might jeopardize their mission to save the family home.
