BuzzFoto Blind Item
This beautiful C List television star from a popular sitcom is married to someone who is overweight. Her spouse (not an actor or celebrity but is in the “biz”) is trying hard to lose weight and as he gets closer to his weight goal, he gets more and more praise. The only explanation for this C lister’s behavior is that she is jealous or resentful of his attention because she’s sabotaging him at every angle. She knows how hard he’s been working and how food is such a temptation for him, yet she continues to bring home expensive take-out and fancy desserts. She eats greasy pizza in front of him, and keeps buying him clothing several sizes too large as gifts. For Valentine’s last night she bought him a gigantic box of chocolates, even though our source said he specifically said he didn’t want anything edible for a gift that day.
What a Bitch!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she's doing it because she's afraid she'll lose him if he's slim (she's clearly not a nice person) or if she can't stand not being the prettiest one in the relationship. hmmmm....

ReplyDeleteThat is just cold and mean. What a spiteful bitch.
ReplyDeleteThis is very common behavior among family members of overeaters, but also families of alcoholics and other substance abusers. If he's an Overeaters Anonymous member it would be a good idea for her to attend meetings with him, or O-Anon groups if they're available in their area (they should be in L.A.) They also have on-line support.
ReplyDeleteI do remember that when I was trying to eat healthy to lose weight, my bi*ch sister convinced my daughter I had an eating disorder because I was avoiding cookies and cake. All because I was succeeding. But she's also not a very nice person (to anyone!)
ReplyDeleteThat is the dark side of weight loss that family/friends don't support you. You can lose weight sure, but don't get skinnier then them or you will see the evil in them come out.
ReplyDeleteShe may just like her guys on the chubby side. Very passive aggressive at best but I don't think it's as bad as the spouses who apply pressure to get their partner to lose weight.
ReplyDeleteChrista Miller/Bill Lawrence?
ReplyDeleteAgree with timebob. I once dropped a lot of weight (and needed to, at the time) and my three closest girlfriends were overly "concerned" about me and kept saying I didn't look as "good" anymore. What a bunch of hateful, jealous bull. Good riddance.
ReplyDeleteGive the girl a break! Maybe she is just a chubby chaser.
ReplyDeleteThe larger issue here is that he is making life choices focused on his needs. Possibly he is no longer (or less) people-pleasing. That must be challenging to a performer who perhaps needs to be the center of attention in all areas of her life.
ReplyDeleteMean. Just mean.
ReplyDeleteI lost 60+ pounds twelve years ago. (I've kept about 50 pounds of it off.) You REALLY find out who your friends are and which family members support you when you experience successful weight loss, especially when you do it the way I did, through a healthy lifestyle. Eat less, eat better, move more. I saw some nasty elements of "friends" and family come out during that period. And as I've gained almost 15 pounds back over the last four or five years, I've seen lots of those same people be very smug and condescending.
ReplyDeleteThis guy needs to find a support group fast! Maybe marriage counseling, too.
"television star from a popular sitcom" is tricky - the way it's worded, it could be from a long ago sitcom?
ReplyDeleteOlder guess - Suzanne Somers
More current guess - Valerie Bertanelli
It can work the other way too-after years of eating disorders I finally gained weight...you'd be surprised how many people didn't react well-including my mother.
ReplyDeleteValerie and Suzanne aren't married to heavy men.
ReplyDeletewhoever it is she is cold hearted and mean. good luck to her spouse on his weight loss.

They crossed my mind, they fit in terms of C-actress and husband in the biz, but I follow Bill's twitter (@VDOOZER), and the guy always talks about the goodies he's about to eat. He doesn't sound like he's been dieting. Also, he's about 6 foot 4 and pretty lanky.
I wouldn't describe Christa as beautiful anymore. I love her but what ever she did to her face does not look good.
ReplyDeletewow! lol@Simone, but I am losing my baby weight right now, and my mom and my best friend are totally supportive and pass on tips whenever and my best friend works out with me and my husband gave me candy for V-day, and I was like, "oh, thanks but..." and he said, "it's sugar-free!!" swoon! so sweet. I feel bad that people could be so unsupportive!!! Boo on them!
ReplyDeleteThat's completely horrible but why isn't he calling her out on her bullshit? If my husband pulled this on me, I'd be telling him where to stick the box of chocolates. Why does the wife even care if he isn't famous?
ReplyDeleteEnty and his next wife FTW
ReplyDelete:-)
MWAH! Love you, Enty!!!!!
I used to be a literacy volunteer, teaching adults to read. My pupil was a guy in his 40s who had been married for probably 20 years. In all those years, his wife was his "go to" for everything -- to read contracts, do the banking, go through the mail, read menus, maps, etc. ... whatever needed reading, he needed her to do it for him.
ReplyDeleteAt first, he was all gung ho and was picking up tips for reading and was doing his homework, etc. but gradually, he stopped doing the homework, then started skipping sessions, and eventually bowed out completely.
The reason? His wife. She didn't really want him to learn to read, and so she found ways to keep him busy so he wouldn't have time to study, or found excuses not to quiz him or listen to him read, etc. And since illiteracy is a huge secret with adults, it wasn't like he would go to someone else (like a work buddy) to practice his reading.
I don't know where he is today, but I'm betting he's pretty much where he was 20 years ago, and his wife is just fine with that.
Agreed, this is really common. One of my friends lost weight, and generally pulled herself and her life together, and she lost two "friends" over it. They also pulled the "I'm so concerned about how you're changing" bullshit.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is similar. I need to lose weight, he wants me to lose weight. Some time he will bring me home boxes of my favorite gummies or chocolate. When I give him shit for it his explination is "you're allowed to have a treat once in a while!"
ReplyDeletegrrrr
After I quit smoking I gained weight. When I told my family I was going on a diet, one after another insisted I had to come to dinner, go out to eat, whatever, when literally years went by and no one insisted I eat with them. And they did use the word "insist". I will never tell anyone again the next time I go on a diet.
ReplyDeleteOkay I have no idea who this is, and it's a pretty horrible move but not that uncommon or shocking. What I really took away from this story was, that b!tch can eat take-out, chocolates, desserts and greasy pizza on a regular basis and still be beautiful and, I assume, thin?! Seriously, b!tch.
ReplyDeleteThis is my life - sounds like my husband, but he does it to himself, too. He's been smoke-free since July, hasn't cheated once, but he's big. He talks about losing weight. Since we both need to, I suggest we go for walks together (weather permitting) or we play Just Dance on the Wii together. No, no, no. And he buys a lot of junky food.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for this C Lister's husband, but it's up to him to put his foot down and tell her to knock it off.
LOL, Char!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I don't give a damn if she's a chubby chaser, the fact of the matter is she's sabotaging her husband and his health goals. I hope he loses a ton of weight and drops her like a bad habit, and finds a woman who is mature enough to act like a wife and a lady and not a shallow immature all-about-me-bot.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you ANNOUNCE you are on a diet? Just lose the damn weight, people.
ReplyDeletebtw, I've lost 23 pounds, and I've not announced to anyone I'm on a diet, except my husband, but he had to by into the strict dieting program with me eating this way every night.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the first sentence I immediately was reminded of 'King of Queens'. Even more so when I kept on reading. This blind tells exactly the plot of one of the show's episode in which Doug lost some weight and gets complimented all the time by friends and random people while Carrie gets more and more frustrated and jealous that she's not the pretty wife anymore who raises eyebrows with people thinking as to why such a hot woman is with that fat dude.
ReplyDeleteThis also sounds like chubby chaser behavior.
ReplyDeleteWe should all be supportive of someone trying to get healthy regardless of the avenue ( eating better, exercise etc.). I have been in the position of seeing. Friend going from a normal weigh to pracitcally skelletal and I did ask her if she was ok (as in saying you look fantastic, you've done great but you are not trying to lose more, in a nice way) I just wanted to make sure she was not going to go down a scary path.
ReplyDeleteShe said she knew she was fine and I believed her and she still looks fab. I was worried and as a friend I had to check but i had nothing tom worry about and I appologized. She actually thanked me for caring. :)
What this woman is doing is evil, however, there is a time and a place to worry when someone starts to look or act in an unhealthy way in order to get skinny.
Regardless, sabotage is never a positive avenue.
