Alongside a press photo promoting the upcoming season of the TLC show, Whitney wrote: "Buckle up because this season is gonna be wild 😒 And y’all, thank you for your well wishes.

"I’m actually starting to do better and life feels pretty good.

"Please don’t harass Chase on my behalf. None of that negativity helps.

"I’m just trying to move on and keep my shit together while this airs 🤞🏻."

One follower commented on the post, writing: "Like your show! For some reason I thought your relationship was scripted!"

The reality star shut down the claim by responding: "Like I said in the caption, negativity doesn't help anyone."

Another follower defended the fellow fan by commenting: "I don’t think [the fan] was being negative here. Seems to be just making a statement. You have a lot of fans! We follow you and support you – But seems lately your posts are so unnecessarily defensive??” 

Whitney didn't hold back as she addressed the haters, writing: "For the last 5 years I've had to deal with people accusing EVERY person in my life of being an actor or actress, saying that they wouldn’t be there if they weren't getting paid.

“Apparently no love interest has ever been real because HOW could a man want me or love me.

She continued: “If you’re lucky enough to have a romantic partner are you HONESTLY telling me you wouldn’t get offended if people speculated that it was fake because you were simply unlovable?

"Now imagine living in the public eye and that coming from strangers like yourself. I’m being UNNECESSARILY defensive? Jesus.”

Chase and Whitney were engaged when she discovered he had slept with another woman and was expecting a baby with her.

In a preview trailer for the new season, Whitney's friend Buddy Bell told her Chase is now a father.

A trailer also showed Whitney breaking down in tears as she addressed Chase following their failed engagement.

She admitted it was "stupid" that no one had told her the news.

Back in May, Whitney revealed that she and Chase ended their engagement as he had cheated on her and was expecting a daughter.

"I have nothing but love and respect for Whitney and our time together."

After calling off the engagement, Whitney proved she wouldn't let the breakup get her down as she flaunted her body in a bathing suit on Instagram.
