World’s fattest mom decides to close her pay-per-view eating site
God bless America and the entrepreneurial spirit:
AKRON, Ohio — The man from Germany sent a credit card to Donna Simpson with specific instructions: Buy pizzas, Chinese food and other takeout.
He wanted Simpson to use his money to become as large as possible, and he got excited knowing he helped feed the 600-pound woman, she said.
“He didn’t even need to see me,” she said. “Just the fact that he was feeding me was enough of a thrill for him.”
For years, the 44-year-old mother of two was a star in the fantasy fetish community that worshiped the overweight and the feeding that led to it. Simpson had a website where men paid $19 a month to watch her eat. She flew around the world for various events. And she became famous in the British papers.
…
She has turned away from the fantasy world, replacing her pre-recorded videos of her with a blog about her journey to health. She already has lost about 85 pounds, and she hopes to join a gym soon to begin walking in a pool. She has modified her eating, as well.
“I realized that I was their fantasy,” she said. “Here I was getting bigger and bigger, and they had their thin wives, with 2½ kids and a picket fence.”
…
But Simpson said she earned at one point $1,000 a month from the pay-per-view eating.
“That’s pretty good for eating Ho-Ho’s,” she said.
