Redditors beg My 600-Lb Life fans to leave Dr. Now alone
Many reality TV viewers would love to meet their favorite stars. But some My 600-Lb Life fans seem to be taking things a bit too far. Now, one Redditor is begging others to stop bothering Dr. Now in person.
“Listen, I like Dr. Now as much as the next guy but some of the s*** I see on here is borderline stalker,” one Redditor wrote on the website this week.
“Like I have seen a few stalkery posts but the one that made me post this was a post I saw that was just someone recording Dr. Now get stuff from his car and go into his work, come on man, that’s not ok,” they continued. “It’s one thing to take a pic with him but to just record him doing daily tasks is just insanely creepy, I don’t think he would like some stranger recording him, you guys are cool, but we need to do better, and, not do this.”
In the comments, the OP shared another Reddit thread they said inspired them to make the post. In that thread, a Redditor did indeed share a random video they took of Dr. Now simply walking into his office.
Other Redditors agreed videotaping the doctor was bizarre and agreed with the OP.
“As much as we love Dr. Now, he is still a person, and an elderly person to boot,” another added. “I’m sure strangers unknowingly recording him is scary and creepy! Don’t let your stanning give that old man a heart attack!”
Dr. Now loves meeting fans — within reason
While most Redditors agreed that it was weird to film Dr. Now, a few pointed out that the bariatric surgeon doesn’t always mind visitors at the office.
In fact, some pointed out that Dr. Now actually sells merchandise at his office and will occasionally come out to pose for pictures and sign autographs.
The reality TV star also frequently promotes his merchandise on his Instagram page. He sells copies of his book, as well as fun trinkets like t-shirts and earrings.
In general, it seems like many My 600-Lb Life fans could meet Dr. Now if they wanted to. It’s just a good idea to be respectful and refrain from unwanted photographs and videotapes.
