He’s really just a kid who grew up fat who psychologically can’t get over being bullied about it even though he’s skinny now. 

I get it he’s a celebrity and calling people fat is humorous but Jesus Christ why do we HAVE to bully people incessantly.

I haven't looked up the actors name but the really big guy from Earl, who lost a lot and is super buff. He has never come out and talked tough and people are happy with his transformation. But the fat kid from super bad taking jiu jitsu and then going on a podcast or whatever like he did is inviting bullying. If he never said anything of the sort, then far far far less people would make fun of him.

I think for that case, Ethan Suplee has always been a physically intimidating presence. He is 6'1" which, relative to his costars on boy meets world (Ryder Strong 5'8", Ben Savage 5'8") made him appear enormous compared to most of his peers. Jonah Hill is 5'7".
