continued to film across the U.S. this week with severely obese castmembers despite social distancing recommendations and high-risk factors for the show's stars amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Megalomedia, the Austin, Texas-based production company behind the series, responded to an inquiry from on Friday by stating: "The health and safety of Megalomedia’s show participants and employees is always our top priority, now more than ever. We continue to comply with all local, state, and federal guidelines that cover this unprecedented pandemic. TLC added, "The safety of our show talent, crews and employees is our top priority.

"These castmembers have a compromised immune system already. They're not OK. They're not feeling comfortable," one source says. "It's super dangerous and none of us wants to be the person who gives it to the castmember." On a television set, "Everyone's putting everyone else at risk, so it definitely doesn't run in one direction," Dr. Joseph Ladapo, an associate professor of medicine in the division of general internal medicine and health services research at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, says when given the specifics of this story.

irritatedwoman No shit

That's not what progressivism told me

GiselaHack88 I know you'll be sad about not having new episodes to watch 😂

If only someone could have guessed this and warned about glorifying obesity... Why didn't anyone say something?

Will someone cancel this show please?

'Big is beautiful' 'healthy at any weight' 🤣

How soon before moronic leftists will accuse the cdc of fat shaming.

But Lizzo is the kween, no?

Fat shaming Hollywood=hypocrites

Where Lizzio

Well, gee whiz fellas, you mean that people with underlying health issues, and more obvious ones, might be at greater risk from something that even healthy people are getting sick from? Totally mindblowing and unprecedented.

But I though big was beautiful?..... So obese is actually unhealthy and bad, who'd of thunk it........

Stop eating everything.

Being fat is unhealthy. Being obese is especially unhealthy. Being a “fat positive” ally is enabling a seriously unhealthy lifestyle, with or without a killer viral pandemic. ReturnToSanity

Hey now. Dont get all science-y here. Big is beautiful and “live YOUR truth” or whatever. Remember?

Shocking.. Who would have thought!

Body positivity mafia will be mad about this.

Damit they shut the gyms down now what 😎

there is a serious high risk factor for a lot of things when you are 600 pounds.. I hope this doesn't happen to many people in self isolation over this pandemic.

Shows like this are why we can't have nice things anymore.
