"Seriously?"— Southern Charm fans criticize Whitney for fat shaming Molly

Southern Charm season 10 aired episode 2 this week on Thursday, December 12, 2024. The segment saw the cast members further navigate the group dynamics. Towards the end of the episode, most of the cast members gathered at Patricia's Easter party.

Molly O'Connell, the newest addition to the show, told the cast about her health issues and how it impacted her weight. As she was about to eat a cupcake, Whitney told her it was the "last thing" she needed.

Fans of the reality show commented on Whitney's remark towards Molly and criticized him for body shaming her. One person wrote on X:

"oh hell NO, Whitney did NOT just fat shame Molly…what is wrong with the men on this show…seriously?"

"Whitney is VILE. How dare he tell Molly the last thing she needs is a cupcake?!?!?!" a fan commented.

"I know whitney’s old closeted a** isn’t up here fat-shaming women. who raised this man. i’ve noticed that ever since season one he has had this hate for women. the way he came after kathryn was insane. i really feel he is literally repressing his homos*xuality," a tweet read.

Fans of Southern Charm season 10 felt the comment appeared to be fake:

"My jaw actually dropped hearing Whitney’s fat shaming comment on #southerncharm. Like what is this 2005? Who tells a woman what she shouldn’t be eating? Gotta be fake," a person wrote.

"Friendly reminder, Whitney is fkn 56 years old. This man has no business fat shaming or talking down to any woman. Freud would have a field day dissecting his relationship with his mom, might explain why he’s still not married," a fan commented.

"Whitney body shaming Molly when he looks like this. You know damn well if he didn't have his mommy's money, no woman or man would be attracted to this," a tweet read.

Fans of Southern Charm season 10 further said:

"I would have slapped THE f*ck out of Whitney if he said that to me. Does he not know Molly has a health condition !? What’s wrong with this dude," a person wrote.

"You’re pushing 60 Whitney, no matter how many guylights you add to your hair. Molly needs to realize she can do better. That was uncalled for," a fan commented.

Southern Charm star Molly reacts to Whitney commenting on her eating a cupcake

In Southern Charm season 10 episode 2, titled, Off the Peep End, Patricia hosted an Easter party. During the soirée, newcomer Molly opened up about her weight loss journey and revealed that she had a hard time maintaining it since she had hormonal issues.

"Molly, that's the last thing you need," he said.

Molly gasped and said that Whitney was calling her fat. The female Southern Charm season 10 star chimed in on the comment in a confessional and said that Whitney knew she hadn't had the best relationship with food. She wondered why he was being a "d*ck."
