I tried to defend a woman being fat-shamed by her boyfriend at an all-you-can eat buffet but it went from bad to worse

A MAN was left stunned when he heard a girl being fat-shamed at an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet - so much so that he tried to step in to help.

JP is currently on holiday in Rome, Italy, and explained that he had gone to get breakfast when another couple walked in.

JP is on holiday in Rome, Italy, and felt obliged to step in when he heard a woman being fat-shamed at the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet 4 JP is on holiday in Rome, Italy, and felt obliged to step in when he heard a woman being fat-shamed at the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffetCredit: Tiktok - @jprobberts The woman had been eyeing up the breakfast offerings at the hotel 4 The woman had been eyeing up the breakfast offerings at the hotelCredit: Getty But when she said that the pastries "look good", the man she was with told her she couldn't have it because she was "watching her weight" 4 But when she said that the pastries "look good", the man she was with told her she couldn't have it because she was "watching her weight"Credit: Getty JP then stepped in and asked the man to repeat himself, which he did "without flinching" 4 JP then stepped in and asked the man to repeat himself, which he did "without flinching"Credit: Getty "The girl is very, very thin, whereas the bloke has got a little bit more meat to him, but an incredibly unexciting human to look at, whereas the girl was very pretty," he said in a video on his TikTok page.

"She glances over at the croissants and the cream-filled thingies and the pastries on the breakfast table and goes, 'Ooh, that looks good!'

"And he looks at her and goes 'You can't eat that, you're going to get fat'."

Raising his eyebrows in shock, JP said he could see the moment of disappointment on the girl's face, so decided to try and defend her.

"I look over at him and I say, 'Excuse me? What the **** did you just say?'" he recalled.

"And he goes, 'Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you'.

"I'm like, 'No, no - you didn't disturb me, but what did you just say? She can't have the croissants because what?'

"This *******, without flinching, looks at me and goes, 'Oh yeah, no she can't eat that because she has to watch her weight'."

JP then unleashed his epic comeback, as he told the man: "I said, 'Sir, you want her to watch her weight while she, me and everyone else who have the misfortune of looking at your ugly mug wants you to be better looking? None of which is going to happen today'."

"I mean, he's out here looking like an old ** puppet, trying to tell this young girl that she can't eat a ** croissant?"

Concluding his video, after revealing he wanted to hang the man "from a third storey window by his toes", JP said: "Here's a lesson, Princess Fiona was a big girl.

"A princess but a big girl nonetheless. You have your croissant, my babes."

People were quick to praise JP for his actions in the comments section, with one writing: "I feel I speak for all the ladies......we love you! Thank you!"

"I love you! Thank you for saying something," another added.

"It doesn't matter what a person's size, no one has the right to tell them what they can eat."

"If I was that lady I would have hugged you on the spot," a third gushed.

Why so judgmental? As long as she exercises afterwards, she can eat all the pastries she wants!

If this story had ended with JP getting punched in the mouth, I would have been fine with it.

Looked at the pictures and while the female in question was not overweight she did not look anorexic either.

Perhaps you should stay out of other people's business?

Just a thought.

I know of a few women who could afford to go on diets: Rosie o’donuts and Stacy the Hutt.

If it’s a matter of saving someone from physical harm, then stepping in is the right thing to do. When someone is bullying/abusing another with words, it’s a judgement call. Women who repeatedly tolerate verbal abuse from anyone let alone their boyfriend - demonstrate a lack of self-respect and self-love. The same is true for men who allow themselves to be verbally abused by their so-called girlfriend. People with these shortcoming need Jesus, who through His Word and Holy Spirit will give a person wisdom and discernment in handling relationships.

I ate dinner at a Chinese buffet tonight. Should have taken a picture of this woman. She was about 5’9” and a good 4.5 bills

Did he stop to consider that maybe she really did have to watch her weight for reasons other than cosmetic? Did he stop to consider maybe she asked her companion to make sure she didn’t have any pastries? Maybe she has an eating disorder? Maybe she just had her stomach stapled. Maybe she had other surgery. Maybe her career choice means staying at a certain weight. As long as the guy with her did not slap food out of her hand and oink in her face J should not have assumed he was just being mean.

I am overweight and I eat breakfast. In fact I think I will also have dinner.

According to the person who reported the story, the girl wasn’t ‘fat’ at all. But I still think the story and pictures with it are fake.

I don’t think those pictures are real. They look like stock photos.

(And I don’t think the story itself is real.)

Was it an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet? (As John Pinette would say, "You go from full to starving; there's nothing in between.")

I seriously doubt that the pictures accompanying the article are photographs of the actual people allegedly involved. They look like posed stock photos.

Just maybe (assuming this event actually happened, which is doubtful) the lady is indeed having problems with being overweight, and just maybe her friend is helping her stay “on the wagon”.

Maybe.

Has anyone on this thread considered that possibility?

A non story except JP deserved a beating.
The couple’s conversation was prefectly normal, and JP sounds like a psycho, if this even happened.

Yeah, they say Getty images.
And the guy just happened to have the line ready, “Princess Fiona was a big girl.”

Riiight.

Plus he was cursing at the couple.
This was in Italy, where breakfast at your hotel is almost always all you can eat.
And bothering other people on vacation is never done.

If a woman is being actively beaten, that’s one thing. If it’s just words, stay out of it. Or discreetly find a way to say to the woman that she doesn’t deserve that and it’s not right for him to treat her that way. But you’re just asking for trouble getting involved in a situation like this.
