Re: Adam Richman
Eh, I think hes being vilified. I honestly think he meant no harm and really didnt understand the connotation with Thinspiration and honestly, neither did I until I heard about this. I think the mob mentality got the best of the internet and he was worked up and fired back. Was he maybe more vulgar than he shouldve been, sure, but he was being attacked by dozens of people for something he didnt understand the impact of initially and I think it just got out of hand on everyone's part.

I get that, but he did not choose his words wisely. I'm surprised he even responded, most celebs ignore the comments.

I have to agree with this.

He was much nicer when he was fat. He was probably just hungry so he went off. LOLOL.

Re: Adam Richman
Wow. He got caught up in the moment, and made stupid comments. Lesson learned - never put anything in writing that you might regret. I still love him and love watching his shows.

Not for nothing, if a woman had #Thinspiration as part of a photo caption, no one would've batted an eye.
His comments were pretty funny I have to admit, minus the bath comment.

Re: Adam Richman
Here is what really happened. The antagonistic women jumped all over his post and started vilifying him for using this word. This isn't being shown in the media. They also conveniently only screen shotted his replies, not their which I'm sure were baiting. I'm not condoning what he did, but I'm pretty sure he didn't just start shooting his mouth off for nothing.

Re: Adam Richman
#thinspiration = thin inspiration.
Someone who was heavy having lost weight, yes, I could consider that thin inspiration.
I don't think he did anything wrong. Maybe he did not understand the connotation of the term according to hastag, IG standards. I have a feeling that only people who use the term in that way understand it that way.
He should not have gone off in a public forum but I don't blame him.
I think its a mistake to cancel the series. The show must go on! I am sure it would have been a success.

His show isn't cancelled, it's postponed.
It'll be back, with more viewers due to the internet buzz about this.

I read the article that woman's article, and, if I am being honest, she sounds like a complete ass. She sounds like she is angry at anyone who loses weight because she is not happy with herself. Should Adam have reacted that way, no, he should have ignored her. But nobody is perfect. Personally, this wouldn't affect whether or not I watch his shows.

Re: Adam Richman
I just read the article and realized he was a d ouchie to everyone.
He seems nice and was maybe pushed a little bit. I feel like she made her point but couldn't let up. It wa immature and stupid on his part. His instagram is private now, I find that kind of funny.

All off the women who umped all over him are private on Instagram too.
His thunder got stolen in showing off how proud he was at his weight loss he worked really hard to achieve. I'd be pisssed off too. All for a word that he didn't know the connotation... what man would?

Re: Adam Richman
The girl who started the fight is a "fat activist" basically. I'm a bit confused why she would be upset about the word thinspiration. As someone who did/does have an eating disorder I don't find that term offensive at all.

I think she wanted her time in the spotlight. I think his comments were harsh, but I think she pushed him to get him to go off.
