How has '90 Day Fiance' star Big Ed's Klippel-Feil Syndrome affected him?
On the successful TLC program, Big Ed provides the drama and the laughter, but he's also seen the nasty side of reality TV fandom. He's been candid about the cyberbullying and body-shaming he's faced on social media from fans who mock his neck illness, Klippel-Fiel syndrome.
"I have a limited range of movement," Big Ed said to Entertainment Tonight in a March 2020 interview.
“I have a bigger than normal chest cavity, so I’ve been made fun of my whole life, and when I was in high school, I actually got stuck in the neck machine. I used to work out with all the football players, and so that became kind of a running joke, so I sort of become really well-known, they would still sort of tease me. So when the show first came out, I was literally in a panic because I was reading stuff online — which they told me not to — and that’s all it was, was I can’t wait until next season.”
The '90 Day: The Single Life' star has stated on social media that one of the benefits of his reality TV stardom is that he can reach out to others who are suffering from the same ailment.
"The biggest takeaway for me was, these people would write me letters and say, ‘Where do you get your confidence?’ and ‘I have your same syndrome, but I can’t get out of bed,'" Big Ed told PEOPLE in February 2021.
"You have to accept that this is how God made you. And this is who you are, and the sooner you can do that, the easier life will become. And for me, that’s it. That’s worked really, really well. It’s been kind of my winning formula."
