If Thore is indeed re-shooting moments so they pop more or even creating drama to boost her show's ratings, she certainly wouldn't be the first to do it. Not too long ago, Laguna Beach and The Hills alum Kristin Cavallari spilled the tea in an interview with BuzzFeed about just how much of the beloved MTV reality shows were actually real. Hint: very little.
My Big Fat Fabulous Life isn't that comparable as a show, however, because the focus is on Thore's journey rather than a group of 20-somethings who often fight with each other to keep viewers interested. If anything, Thore's outsized, bubbly personality ensures her show always feels more grounded than the likes of, say, Vanderpump Rules – chiefly because she clearly isn't faking anything, whether she's struggling or thriving.
