Travel Channel has not confirmed whether or not the postponing of Richman’s new show is due to the recent controversy.
Amber Sarah, a blogger at Adipose Activist, has a friend who came across one of Adam Richman's Instagram photos.
Sarah's friend noticed that on the photo Richman used the hashtag #Thinspiration, which a lot of pro-eating disorder communities use to promote anorexia or bulimia.
They decided to comment on Richman's photo, explaining that for people working in the body positivity movement, #Thinspiration is actually seen as a harmful phrase. Richman replied with "Does it look like I give a fuck?"
The comments on Instagram then turned into a massive fight, with Richman calling the Instagram user a "cunt."
