Adam Richman 'Man vs. Food' Star Loses New Show; Made Weight Comments on Instagram; Tells Fan To Kill Herself

Adam Richman, host of the popular Man vs. Food show, has reportedly lost his newest television show Man Finds Food, which was set to premiere tonight on the Travel Channel, according to The Guardian.  

It seems as though man has lost in the ongoing battle of Man vs. Food.

Speculations have linked the show's indefinite postponing to a series of comments he made on the social media platform Instagram.

Upon posting a photo of a suit he purchased more than a year ago, Richman used the hashtag #thinspiration to brag that his suit now needs taken in.

The comments and photo have since been deleted, but The Guardian reports, "The furore began when Richman posted an Instagram photo with the caption: 'Had ordered this suit from a Saville Row tailor over a year ago. Think I'm gonna need to take it in a little ...' He added the hashtag #thinspiration."

One follower of Richman's was offended by the remark, commenting to Richman that the term "thinspiration" promotes unrealistic beauty standards.

Allegedly, "Richman responded by writing 'DILLIGAF', which means 'Does it look like I give a fuck?' To other critics he wrote, 'Oh eat a bag of shit, dummy. No apology is coming. If it inspires someone to attain a healthy thinner body then that was what it was meant to do. Only fuckup it seems was your dad's choice to go without a condom,' and 'grab a razor blade and draw a bath. I doubt anyone will miss you,'" writes Ben Beaumont-Thomas at The Guardian.

These comments have since been deleted and Richman has offered a series of apologies, including a Tweet on June 20 reading, "Yes. I've responded to Internet hate recently with vile words directed at those hating me. I am sorry, I should know better & will do better," which has also since been deleted.

In a statement to Good Morning America the TV host said, "I've long struggled with my body image and have worked very hard to achieve a healthy weight. I'm incredibly sorry to everyone I've hurt."
