TLC viewers have grown fond of Babs Thore, but some still question whether she played a role in preventing Glenn Thore from contacting his adopted daughter, Angie Burdett. Many fans of My Big Fat Fabulous Life find the timing of Angie’s arrival suspicious, as it coincided closely with Babs’ passing.
Do you remember the shock when Whitney and Hunter discovered that Babs had been married before? This revelation led some TLC fans to believe that if Babs and Glenn could keep that significant secret for decades, they could easily have kept Angie’s existence under wraps as well. Some MBFFL viewers wondered if Glenn had cheated on Babs Thore. However, Angie was conceived during Babs’ previous marriage to someone else.
Glenn Thore fathered Angie during his military training in Florida, after which he was deployed to Asia. Jackie, the mother of his child, stayed with an aunt until she made the decision to give the baby up for adoption. According to the show’s narrative, Angie’s family discovered the connection and reached out to Glenn after Babs’ passing. Yet, many My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans remain skeptical.
This week, a My Big Fat Fabulous Life fan took to Reddit to discuss Angie Burdett and Babs Thore. In their post’s caption, the TLC fan expressed their thoughts:
“Babs and Angie… Who else thinks Babs kept Glenn away from Angie? It’s funny how Angie coincidentally popped into their lives after Babs died.”
Glenn Thore’s secret daughter has been a topic of discussion in the past. However, other followers of the TLC show provided intriguing comments. Here are some of their perspectives:
“I feel like they knew about Angie before Babs passed, and as soon as she passed RIP, Twit needed a new plot to keep the show going, and it just happened to be Glenn’s long-lost daughter. The relationship between Angie and Glenn seems like they’ve been in contact for a bit before the season was filmed.”
“Hmmm, it could have happened that way. Although Whitney seems to embrace them, so maybe Babs gave her blessing later?”
“I doubt it was anyone’s decision. Adoptions were closed back in the day, and I don’t think Glenn and Babs knew about that whole ancestry DNA stuff.”
“I think he was just embarrassed about having a child before he was married, so he kept it hidden.”
The truth behind Glenn, Babs, and Angie’s story remains uncertain, leaving My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans pondering the possible dynamics and motivations surrounding their connection.
