Whitney Way Thoreis done with social media users choosing to attack her decision to film her mother Barbara “Babs” Thore’s funeral forMy Big Fat Fabulous Life.
After admitting that she’s had her fair share of “stalkers, vandals, death threats, and harassment” torment her “for the last decade,” Thore added, “PLEASE, I am asking some of y’all to think.”
Thore said that while some may bully her to “keep you busy, or entertain you, or distract you from your own s—– life,” she and her loved ones are navigating a new normal duringa particularly rough timein their lives.
“PLEASE remember, just for this one instance, that you’re talking about mydead motherand there is a family who reads this,” Thore said, alongside screenshots of some of the hateful messages her relatives have come across.
“The normal, supportive fans comment on my stuff. Love you, Daddy!” Whitney concluded.
In anexclusive preview ofMy Big Fat Fabulous Life’s new season shared with PEOPLE, the family grieved the loss of Babs, who died on Dec. 7, 2022.
In addition to the funeral appearing in the trailer for the new season, the clip also showed Thore and Hunter discussing ways to try and make their father feel better as they facedthe monumental loss. “He’s just lost. He said, ‘I don’t wanna do anything without your mother,’” she told her sibling.
Whitney and Hunter hatched a series of adventurous plans to show their father a good time. The trio visited a tattoo parlor, went indoor skydiving, and embarked on a trip to see a glacier in Switzerland. Unfortunately, while the family took in the views, the high altitude brought on a new set of problems. “I don’t wanna lose you and your mom,” Glenn said as Whitney began to feel faint during a helicopter evacuation.
