So in my painful boredom waiting to have this baby, I just read a shameless fight between a facebook friend of mine and some woman I don't know. This FB person is someone I was friends with in grade school and some of middle school, and we lost touch when I moved and he found me on facebook. Its weird because he always seemed so "perfect" with the perfect life when we were kids, and my life was super crappy. But he was a cool friend, nice kid, we got along well.
Anywaym from FB I've gathered his life is a trainwrech now, and he shares all the details of it, but he seems like a nice person still so I haven't defriended him.
During this fight, I gathered that this girl was talking about him, or so he says, she says she wasn't. And seems he said something offensive to her so her husband made a hurtful comment about his sexuality (he's gay), and he was calling her out on being trashy blah blah, and then attacked her weight. Now she didn't deny that her husband said something, and whatever the comment was, was never actually repeated so I don't know more than it somehow referred to him not being man enough??
But what I could read was him insulting her over and over for being fat. And telling her she was the joke of the office. His parent's business, so this means his parents and brothers would be included in those that made fun of her weight. I found this hurtfuk as well because he and I were close when we were friends and I got very close with his family. I kind of always felt they felt bad for me because of how horrible my home life was. I loved being at his house, I forgot about my own horrible family. So anyway he went on and on how she was the joke of the office because she's so fat and all she did was eat and eat, and his parents paid her to eat basically. I started getting pretty offended by this.
Then I looked at her page, which had some of her pictures public and she's *maybe* a size 14 at best.
So I don't know what her husband said to my FF "friend" first, and I in no way support insulting someone based on their sexual orientation, but I don't support it based on weight either. In the thread (fight) she did not insult his sexuality at all. So I only saw his hateful comments.
So now I feel mad at him. Is this what he thinks of fat people? btw he is very thin, and has never had weight problem a day in his life. If he were a fat hater now I really wouldn't know, but I was ummm, very FAT when he and I were friends and I don't remember him ever being mean to me or commenting on my weight. Nor was his family mean to me about it.
Weirdly enough I feel like defriending him because of his comments. But are they justified depending on what this girl's husband said to him?
Have you ever been a 3rd party witness to fat bashing (like on FB), what did you do?
