The Shocking Reason Fans Want TLC to Fire Meghan & Ashely From ‘1000-Lb Best Friends’ S3

1000-Lb Best Friends just dropped its third season on TLC. Even though only one episode is out so far, it’s clear this season is going to be one of the most dramatic ones yet.

How exactly are viewers reacting to the new season so far?

1000-Lb Best Friends Viewers Hate The Incessant Bullying

In the early days of 1000-Lb Best Friends, fans enjoyed watching the camaraderie between four women as they supported each other through their weight loss journies. Since then, Tina Arnold completely quit the show. Vannessa Cross went on to be wildly successful, while Ashely Sutton and Meghan Crumpler stalled.

Viewers hoped to see the women overcome their challenges together, but the season premiere proved otherwise. Most fans think that Ashely and Meghan displayed horrific “mean girl” behavior toward Vannessa.

“Get Meghan and Ashely OFF the show!!” an angry 1000-Lb Best Friends viewer posted on Reddit. “They are absolutely ridiculous. Trying to rewrite history to make us all believe Vannessa is the issue when EVERYONE sees what they’re doing! I’m grateful I have the house to myself because I’m screaming at the tv at these two bullies. It is soooo obvious that they’re jealous Vannessa is doing so much better than them, when they always considered her beneath them. If the two new cast members are actually willing to put in the work and aren’t going to mistreat Vannessa, sign them and kick Meghan and Ashely off. Vannessa is the star now and they need to get out of her spotlight.”

Fans Feel So Sorry For Vannessa Cross

Ashely Sutton and Meghan Crumpler are certainly allowed to have their personal issues with Vannessa. But many viewers felt their complaints weren’t based in any truth. Vannessa believes the other women abandoned her in her time of need, and many viewers feel heartbroken for her.

Other Reddit users wrote:

• “I’m basically only still watching for Vannessa. I can’t wait to see her with skin removal and dental work!”
• “I’m so glad you wrote this! I felt the same way and so sad for Vannessa… she was real honest and vulnerable in that convo and they just were mean girls. Sorry Meghan she told you the truth and you had to go and buy another cat!!!”
• “They were so hateful to her at the support group. I felt like I was in middle school again. Unfortunately we all know how it felt to be Vannessa in that situation. They can’t gaslight us. We saw the huge shift in dynamic when Vannessa started doing laps around them in weight loss. You can feel the jealousy through the screen.”
