My Big Fat Fabulous Life Is Back With Season 13

My Big Fat Fabulous Life is back with an all-new season on TLC. Based on teasers alone, there is going to be a lot of drama as the episodes continue each week. One of the biggest storylines of this batch of episodes is Whitney Way Thore revisiting the idea of motherhood.

Whitney faces the reality that she is in her 40s, single, and without a child. This is something she confronts in a big way, as she seriously considers different methods of having a baby, including artificial insemination, surrogacy, and more. Right out of the gate, this presents a major storyline in the new season.

MBFFL: Tal Fish Opens Up About His Beef With Ashley Baynes

One of the things that Whitney’s friend Tal opened up about in the first episode of the new season was his ongoing feud with Ashley Baynes. This has created an awkward triangle within this friend group, as Tal was taken aback when he found out that Whitney and Ashley still talk amid this ongoing beef.

According to Tal, he went on to say in scenes that things are “super awkward” following their “huge blowup,” which all started when Ashley waved at Tal in public. He maintains that he did not see her, so, he didn’t wave back. This led to a confrontation that ultimately kicked off this beef between them. Judging by new scenes from the show, things are still not on good terms, either.

Tal went on to say that he felt both “pissed off” and “hurt” when he found out that Whitney is still communicating with Ashley. So, this puts Whitney Way Thore in a weird spot.

My Big Fat Fabulous Life Fans Weigh In On Bitter Feud

With this ongoing beef between Tal Fish and Ashley Baynes in recent My Big Fat Fabulous Life scenes, watchers had plenty to say about the situation.

• One commenter said, “The not “waving back in public” is a crazy reason to have a falling out. To be honest, most of the cast is very immature.”
• A second commenter added, “I know this is reality TV and it’s generally fake, but damn this is a lot of drama to have in your late-30s/early-40s. Like, no.”
• Another person said, “I think that the spark that fueled the fire, was ridiculous and childish.But imo, it was not the reason. It was just the spark, that fueled a fire that had been slowing burning for years, and both parties piled up a ton of things about each other and they just exploded.”
