'1000-lb Best Friends': Vannessa Cross's selfishness is undermining Scott Bagwill's travails
'1000-lb Best Friends' star Vannessa Cross has made remarkable progress on her weight loss journey and seems to have moved beyond the "fat club." With these achievements, she appears to be more focused on herself than her friends. In Season 3, Episode 5 of the TLC show, Vannessa and Scott Bagwill went shopping together. Thanks to her significant weight loss, Vannessa was able to pick out several dresses, while Scott, still weighing nearly 600 pounds, struggled to find clothes in his size.
It's well-established among the '1000-lb Best Friends' cast that Scott can barely fit into a 6XL, but during the shopping trip, he showed interest in a winter jacket, only to find out it was a 2XL. Despite the size difference, Vannessa encouraged Scott to try it on to see if it might fit. Hesitant, Scott tried it on, but unsurprisingly, it didn’t fit. Frustrated, he silently glared at Vannessa, while she shyly laughed it off. Although Vannessa's suggestion may have come from curiosity or a desire to encourage Scott, her actions were understandably criticized. Given that Scott weighed 581 pounds in this episode, it seemed obvious the jacket wouldn’t fit, yet Vannessa appeared too caught up in her progress to recognize how this might trigger Scott's insecurities.
