With All the commercials she does for Weight-Watchers she is still FAT AS HELL!!! BE FAT AS HELL,LOOK FAT AS HELL, and always remain FAT AS A HELL!!! Oh and one last thing Jerry Springer is DA SHIT!!! JERRY,JERRY,JERRY!!!
Do you think Jerry springer was molested as a child and still got through it? No. Don’t diss her. Your probably fat as hell yourself. Go look in the mirror before you make fun of someone of an average weight.
Hey, she isn’t very fat, she honestly has a large bone structure. And it’s honestly very rude to say that. Why would you say something like that? Legit, what caused you to type that? Did she hurt your feelings somehow? Or are you just a hostile person? This is honestly a very uncomfortable moment. And I’m not surprised you don’t understand the female body, since I highly doubt you’ve seen it in real life, where it is exposed. Have a nice night Jake 🙂
