Poor Adam Richman. All because fat libtards are threatened by his weight loss. I learned about this through Deadspin, which is now nothing more a shite piece liberal rag. They quoted this blog:
Adipose Activist- one fat girl's battle against size discrimination!

This ain't a free speech issue at all and it's silly to think it is. How do people not get that? This man is a public figure. People react to what public figures say. The Food Network came to the conclusion that they will lose money from keeping the show and that this dude is a liability.
Why should they be forced to keep an employee who's losing them money. I side completely with the Food Network here and their right to choose whom they want to employ or not.

I can't believe they fired him and cancelled show over that.
But I agree that celebrities should not have Twitter accounts, or if they do, have a PR person handle it completely to avoid this sort of thing.

This is correct but I, for one, am actually more encouraged to watch his show after this. How awesome would the show be if he traveled around stuffing his face while cursing people and calling them fat pieces of chit at the same time? It would appeal to a different audience but I would certainly tune in.

There would be an entertainment factor to it, but I can't deal with that kind of stuff anymore. I'm done with it and people who have behave like dicks and have no self control. The lady probably deserved a calling out, maybe a snide joke, but the dude showed he has no good sense whatsoever.
Posted on 7/1/14 at 1:32 pm to athenslife101
I would have never thought the dude that makes a living off of binge eating would be fired because a fatty got upset at him.

Good for Adam! That fatty was just jelly that Adam lost weight.

Thinspiration tends to do that to a person. He probably just finished a good purge and his patience were very thin.
