Misogynist vs. Food [View all]
Adam Richman Calls Woman a Cunt, Suggests Suicide Over a Hashtag
Adam Richman, former host of the food orgy known as Man Vs. Food, has recently slimmed down and has made the rounds of TV and print media discussing his healthy new lifestyle and hot new body. He's also recently called a woman on Instagram who he didn't agree with a cunt. Because he's not just a celebrity, he's a person.
If you visit Adam Richman's twitter now (he's looking good! Congratulations!), you will see that the top tweet is an apology of sorts. A half-hearted "I'm sorry" and then another tweet saying something about how being a celebrity is hard. He's not wrong. Being a celebrity is hard, especially when you can't respond to internet strangers without resorting to misogyny and suggestions of suicide.
His apology:
Yes. I've responded to internet hate recently with vile words directed at those hating me. I am sorry, I should know better & will do better
This hate amounted to a woman pointing out that the hashtag Richman used, #thininspiration, was pro-anorexic and pro-bulimia circles. Instagram keeps behind an advisory content.
