Whitney and Hunter sometimes butt heads — but they' re always there for each other

Normally — likely because they're so close in age — Whitney and Hunter seem to get along just fine. But their occasional heated debates show they know how to spar like the siblings they are, as well. In a Season 7 episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney was a bit, well, pissed at her brother. The siblings had spoken on the phone together, and they seemed to be in agreement about the need for moving their parents' room to the master bedroom on the first floor of their home. However, when Whitney and Hunter sat down with their mom and dad for an intervention — because both Babs and Glenn have fallen down their stairs now — Hunter backtracked and waffled.Article continues below advertisement View this post on Instagram New axe. #schecter #plagueofjackals A post shared by Hunter Thore (@hunterthore) on Feb 8, 2020 at 10:47am PST Source: Instagram "It's frustrating because the only way to accomplish this is if we are a united front," Whitney said to the camera. Still, it was apparently three against one. "We are not ready to move downstairs," Babs insisted. "They're not ready to move down there," Hunter agreed. "I've been here. I've been watching them."Article continues below advertisement Whitney wasn't convinced, though — and she wasn't about to back down without a fight. "Were you here when it sounded like an elephant hit the floor in the foyer?" she said to her brother. "And did you go into the foyer to see your father knocked out cold? ... I thought he was dead." "I can't go, Whitney! There's ranch on the walls!" ~ Glenn Thore refusing to go to the hospital after falling down a flight of stairs

"I see all the red flags that Whitney doesn't," a heated Hunter told producers. "I saw them with Avi, I saw them with Lennie, I saw them with Chase — and I see them with 'The Frenchman.'" He continued: "This guy seems like a catfish. She talks to him for months online, he says he's going to come meet her in Maine and then he doesn't show up. She's moving too fast with a guy she's never met before. And I honestly do just want my sister to be happy but this guy is starting to prove that he is not the one.Article continues below advertisement The protective younger brother proceeded to tell Whitney he didn't want to see another guy be a "dirtbag" to her. To that, she responded with: "You could just kind of, like, chill. I don't appreciate you clearly thinking that I'm a f---ing idiot." "I don't think that you're an idiot," Hunter clarified. "But I think that it's a little crazy to invite a guy you've never met before on a family vacation."Article continues below advertisement

Is Hunter Thore gay

Despite the fact that Hunter appears on My Big Fat Fabulous life, Whitney's brother keeps his love life private. He hasn't posted about having a girlfriend or a boyfriend — plus, he hasn't publicly discussed his sexuality — so it's difficult to know for sure. Despite Whitney and Hunter's occasional squabbles, we know that when it comes down to it, the Thore siblings have each other's back. They have definitely proven this so far on Season 10 of MBFFL. Catch new episodes of My Big Fat Fabulous Life at 10 p.m. EST Tuesdays on TLC, or on the Discovery Plus app.AdvertisementMore from Distractify Is Whitney Thore Still With the Frenchman?
