Dreaming Big: NJ Lady's 1,000 Pound Fantasy

2010_03_dsimp2.jpg Yesterday, British newspaper the Daily Mail reported on an Old Bridge, NJ resident's current goal: To weigh 1,000 pounds in two years. But now she tells the Post that it might be an impossible dream. Donna Simpson, 42, who is currently 604 pounds, says, "When you have a 3-year-old daughter and you’re trying to run a household, things like this tend to be a fantasy... This whole thousand-pound goal has gotten blown way out of proportion"

In the Daily Mail interview, Simpson said, "My favorite food is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go... I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favorite," and revealed that she supported her $750/week food bill with money from her website "where men pay her to watch her eat fast food." She explained, "I love eating and people love watching me eat. It makes people happy, and I'm not harming anyone." MyFoxNY visited Simpson in her home last night: She says that one of her online fans sent her his credit card numbers to buy food!

As for the attention and support Simpson's been getting, Simpson says she just wants to be recognized as the largest woman who gave birth—she was 532 pounds when she had her daughter.

    I think it's completely normal to be out of breath when speaking.

  • deb8891

    OMG this is the most disgusting person I have ever seen. She "runs after her daughter" as quoted on another site--yea, I bet--only if the daughter is carrying a fried chicken leg that momma wants. She's "healthy", yet has to shop from a motorized cart because she's too fat to walk. She better be using that motorized cart to shop for a custom-made casket. Her kid should be removed from that den of dysfunction she lives in.

  • wonderchimp5

    my girl fits me like a flesh tuxedo

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    Dunkin Donuts.

  • newsie

    She doesn't buy in to all the diseases that come from being over weight? This woman is absolutely insane, she is going to die from a massive heart attack and leave her child with nothing. Absurd.

  • keepdiscoevil

    Totally opening a "Rag on a Stick" shop in Old Bridge, NJ.

  • Barbj8

    She should start soliciting funds for a piano crate 'cuz Mama's gonna need one soon.

  • robingee

    "It's all part, of my Thousand-Pound Fantaseeeee..."

    - Bad Company

  • Ray

    It is her right, however unfortunate, to hurt herself. However, she should be concerned about her daughter. Also, she should not consider herself entitled to public healthcare.

  • xx

    How funny that after the story a Groupon ad runs with a picture of a big plate of sushi. I was grossed out.

  • thatgirl1

    Can't wait to start paying her healthcare bills. What an admirable goal!

  • robingee

    You're not going to pay her bills. Even if the Public Option went thru your taxes wouldn't go up unless you made over 250K a year. And I pay taxes so that firefighters can come to your house even if you are careless and fall asleep with a candle burning. Don't use this as an excuse to bitch about health care.

  • thatgirl1

    It's not an excuse, it's a damn good reason. How do you know I'm not going to have to pay for it? What if I did make more than 250k? That means I should have to pay for this woman's irresponsible and unsafe behavior? There's a difference between accidentally hurting oneself with a candle and eating yourself into complete immobility.

  • Al_Cool_Dates

    Her and that "I want to put my breastfeeding picture on facebook" lady are related.

  • Spook

    There is certainly a correlation between this woman and New England face book woman with her two brats affixed to her big boom boom jugs.

  • ak

    Her obesity is clearly a societal disease of which she is just another unfortunate victim.

  • matty

    I was really hoping for someone to come here and defend her obesity as some sort of societal disease and that she's a victim but no dice.

  • Clarice City

    "People send me Baklava, cakes, McDonald's gift certificates, one guy even gave me his credit card to fill my fridge with food..."



    Really? I got some guns in the mail the other day but I didn't shoot myself with it.

  • Bottomless Chips

    I hope this idiot has these guys paying for her meds and health care, too.



    If she's on any form of state or federal benefits, this woman needs to be arrested for stealing.

  • Guest

    uhm, can we reach a 1000 comments for this story...?



    probably not.

  • newsie

    the hard part is going to be having a child with that many comments

  • Al_Cool_Dates

    What an idiot, and anyone who supports this walking lard excuse for a human is an idiot too.

  • LB

    So I'm Guessing the term " Fat Fuck" Bears absolutely no weight ?

  • robingee

    It's a heavy issue.

  • BeehiveHairdresser

    I wonder how many couches this lady sent to an early grave.

  • Dead Himmler

    I have always hated fat chicks. Mainly for the eye soreness they cause. But this one really takes the cake.

  • robingee

    I hate fat men. They make me sick, being all fat. If you're fat, Himmler, I hate you. Also if you're bald.

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    LOL

  • Clarice City

    ...and devours it.

  • brooklynmouthoff

    You're gonna die from this and leave your child without a mother.



    I hope struggles at 1,000 are extremely painful for you prior to your death. That way you can get a glimpse of what you're putting your daughter through.



    also, i love that fact that you discuss your porn career with your child on your lap (sorry, your slope). you're a pig...in a lot of ways.



    cow.

  • farleft

    I don't care what she does with her body...I just feel bad for her daughter, who will be motherless fairly soon.

  • Guest

    i think a story like this deserves ALL CAPS, which seems vaguely absent in this thread:



    HOLY MARY JESUS CHRIST GOD ALMIGHTY!!! WTF DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, WOMAN??!!??

  • laisla

    FTW

  • detective jarvis

    im cracking up right now

  • PKinNYC

    Why is this Orca drinking Diet Cherry Pepsi??? Seriously she should be shot...IN THE FACE...because the bullet coudn't get through anywhere else.

  • NannyState

    C'mon folks, she's stimulating the economy: I heard they added an extra shift at the Tastykake factory.

  • Powerhugs

    This woman is on a mission.

  • Greenpoint60

    Chain her to a radiator until she has a BMI of 25

  • JenChungsBaby

    I think her BMI is higher than her IQ.

  • Polite New Yorker

    This is all very sad. What does it say about us as a society that many of us are happy to pay money to see someone abuse and harm themselves in such a way?



    I hope her paying audience will be the ones ponying up for her medical expenses, which will be considerable, rather than the taxpayers.

  • slickshoes

    this fat ass should not be allowed to have children

  • jgonzz

    Well at least she ain't a smoker too...

  • FutureMan83

    The only thing I'd pay to watch her eat is a bullet.

  • deb8891

    OMG LMAO

  • detective jarvis

    best fucking comment of the day

  • Boogie Down

    You win.

  • Guest

    omg. suddenly my appetite for dinner is gone.

  • Angelheaded Hipster

    "its something that my fans enjoy"

  • jules1000

    sexy!

  • seven

    "It makes people happy, and I'm not harming anyone." Umm... except yourself?

  • ChampionOfTheSun

    How does someone that big even care for a child, especially before the kid can walk? She probably gets winded walking half way across her living room.

  • H.W. Fowler

    I find it amusing that the lady's favorite food is sushi. From what I've read she's considered a delicacy in Japan.

  • Mr. Shankly

    Perhaps she's mistaken. She's a baleen and it's plankton.

  • Mr. Know-It-All

    Hey, with a ban on blue fin tuna fishing imminent, there could be a market. She's gonna take a LOT of nori though.

  • wobbleSmith

    there is only one word for this brand of ignorance:



    american.



    it's good to see our #1 resource is still in abundance.

  • farleft

    "...she supported her $750/week food bill with money from her website "where men pay her to watch her eat fast food."



    That's an interesting fetish these guys have. To each their own, I guess.

  • mocanlagunas

    If she had a daughter, that means somebody had sex with her...

  • PKinNYC

    slap the thigh and ride the wave...

    roll her in flour and look for the wet spot...

  • fuboy

    I'm not saying she's fat, but her high school photo was an aerial shot. Wonder if a silly pimp looking m*f*er with an ugly hat is the father...

  • S.K.

    Perhaps her man is a chubby chaser? That love will disappear, once those folds turn to wrinkles.

  • jles

    Men pay money to watch her eat. I can't believe i'm actually saying this, but I think having sex with her is actually more justifiable.

  • JenChungsBaby

    Men pay to watch her eat? Maybe they'd pay double to watch her crush small animals to death between her fat rolls while she eats.

  • Stevennnn

    Just think what she looks like under those clothes.

  • hotstepper
  • NannyState

    LOL at Buckwheat.

  • justthinkin

    Gee, I can only imagine what the squid looks like.

  • Guest

    I gotta say, this woman's got balls... at least it looks like she does.

  • tom traubert

    Imagine how bad she must smell. Can't wash it all...

  • Clarice City

    My brother in law is in med school and has shared many a gross-out story about obese people he has to treat at the Miami public hospitals. Extreme heat + moisture + pannis...you get the picture.

  • hotstepper

    "i wash myself with a rag on a stick."

  • jibbly

    Hahahaha Bart's expression is priceless when the scene pans out from the fantasy sequence.

  • robingee

    I like when he pantomimes washing his butt and then poking Lisa with the same "stick". "Ewwwwww!"

  • Kojak

    Sure you can. What do you think a Car Wash is for? Just roll her ass into the entry.



    Better hire a few more hands to wipe her down though. She might break the car wash

  • jibbly

    Dr. Nick: Instead of making sandwiches with bread, use pop tarts. Instead of chewing gum, chew bacon.



    Bart: You could brush your teeth with milkshakes.



    Dr. Nick: Hey, did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College too?

  • laisla

    Awesome.

  • Rocknrope

    Today must be Simpson's Theme day on Gothamist.

  • Cannibal

    Needs spray tan.

  • Mr. Know-It-All

    "she was 532 pounds when she had her daughter"



    Yeah. And she'll be 999 pounds when she drops dead (if you can still 'drop' when you're bed-ridden) of a heart attack and leaves her daughter an orphan and ward of the state. Stupid fat fucking pig.

  • JenChungsBaby

    Her obstetrician wore a hazmat suit to the birth.

  • Mr. Know-It-All

    How'd she even know she was pregnant? How'd she even GET pregnant?

  • silver

    Turkey baster

  • Mr. Know-It-All

    Do they make them with extention wands?

  • Nyctini11

    EXACTLY!!.. "and I'm not harming anyone" Umm selfish pig you're hurting yourself AND your daughters future w/out a mom.. Great F'ing role model.



    DCS where are you when we need you??

  • Kojak

    The daughter would only be so lucky. She'll probably eat her to help her get to her choice weight.



    If the pump the fat from her belly, I'm pretty sure you could feed half of Africa.

  • Cannibal

    Good for her. People need goals in this country, we are all so goddamn lazy. Jersey should have her as its state flag.

  • sadpanda

    It would be a serious feat of engineering to see a flagpole that could support her.



    But then again, I've seen more surprising things out of Jersey.

  • robingee

    Oh, jabs at New Jersey. That's new. NYC is full of clean, nice non-gross people.

  • Cannibal

    Sorry to insult your home state, but but the article does mention she is from Jersey, not New York. Just picture her spray tanned her and gave her a gel crown, it would be perfect. Plus Jersey is SUCH an easy target, just sayin.

  • robingee

    Who said it was my home state? And yeah she is from NJ. So?

  • Kojak

    For fucks sake.



    No insurance company should carry this fool.

  • robingee

    Insurance companies won't carry healthy people!

  • Mr. Shankly

    I'll wager that she's on full SS disability.
