"Can’t y’all let someone be happy? I’ve had 8 serious relationships — the “public” has only seen 3 of them (I had 30 years of life before TV, imagine that!) and I’ve dated some shitty dudes and had heartbreaks, but I also do not doubt that I have been loved deeply and fiercely and above all, I know that I deserve to be loved," Whitney wrote.
The reality star then had a final message for people who thought her boyfriend was embarrassed of her.
"If you feel that you can’t be loved because of your size or for any other reason, please don’t project that onto me — because I’m out here trying to enjoy myself and this person and what we have together ✌️," she said.

"He’s filled up a lot of my time and become a friend- I feel like a good friend. We’ve been talking for almost probably five months now.
"It’s fun and it’s exciting. We learn French, but mostly we just talk."
