As the much-anticipated new season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life kicks off, Whitney Way Thore is making one thing crystal clear—she’s not backing down from living life on her own terms. The TLC fan favorite continues to charm viewers with her unfiltered honesty, bold choices, and undeniable confidence.
In the premiere episode, Whitney reveals that there’s one particular habit she refuses to give up, despite the changes unfolding around her. During a conversation with her friend Todd, Whitney proudly admits that she’s still using her beloved bidet—and she’s not apologizing for it. Her lighthearted declaration comes as she and her father adjust to living together again in the wake of her mother Babs’ passing, a moment that hit hard for long-time fans of the series.
What makes this moment even more relatable to viewers is the way Whitney navigates grief while holding onto things that bring her comfort. Her father, Glenn, shares that Whitney has been incredibly helpful around the house, but when Todd playfully teases her about the bidet, Whitney doesn’t hold back, saying, “I’m not giving up my bidet. I’m not going to stop wiping my a** with water.”
That honest and hilarious moment reminds fans exactly why they fell in love with Whitney in the first place. She blends vulnerability with unapologetic humor, creating a connection that resonates deeply with her audience. And it’s not just about a bathroom fixture—Whitney’s stance symbolizes her commitment to self-care, boundaries, and embracing what makes her feel good.
As the new season unfolds, it’s clear that My Big Fat Fabulous Life will continue to explore Whitney’s evolving family dynamics, personal healing, and her unique way of handling life’s challenges. For viewers who have followed her journey from the beginning, moments like these are both empowering and comforting.
With a mix of real emotion, playful banter, and heartfelt growth, this season promises to be one of the most memorable yet. And for Whitney, it’s another bold step forward in a life that continues to inspire TLC fans across the country.
