10 Shocking Truths About Big Ed That His Makeover Can’t Cover – Number 7 Will Leave You Stunned!
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Big Ed Brownneeds to be removed from the franchise for his series of deplorable acts both on and off camera. Big Ed is a 59-year-old man who was first seen in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4. Big Ed used to live in San Diego and had formed an online relationship with single mom Rose Vega from the Philippines. He became famous for putting mayonnaise in his hair and for his unique appearance due to his short neck due to Klippel-Feil syndrome. From the start, Big Ed thought of himself as superior to Rose and suspected she was dating him for money and a green card. Big Ed lied to Rose about his height. Big Ed has perhaps been the most memed cast member in the history of 90 Day Fiancé.
Even those who don’t watch 90 Day Fiancé know who he is. Big Ed’s popularity has managed to get him several spin-offs, even though his relationship with Rose was a fail. Big Ed began dating Liz Woods in The Single Life season 1 and broke up with her a total of 15 times until he canceled their wedding in August 2023. Until today, it’s still a mystery why Liz chose to date Big Ed, especially after knowing how he behaved towards Rose. Big Ed is currently in the news for his whirlwind engagement with Porscha Raemond. Big Ed knows how to be the center of attention at all times. He keeps getting fans to talk about him. However, Big Ed’s behavior has become predictable. He’s just someone who is attention-hungry and will keep chasing clout for the rest of his life.

Big Ed Has Lost Oodles Of Weight
Fans Ask If Big Ed Is Taking Weight-Loss Drugs
Big Ed decided to transform himself after his split with Liz. Big Ed has always talked about how “heartbreak” has led to him losing weight. Big Ed had lost 35 pounds after his first divorce. However, it’s strange that Big Ed claims he was heartbroken at the time, since his wife left him because he had cheated on her. Big Ed also started going to the gym after Rose dumped him in 2020. His fitness journey went for a toss after he met Liz. Perhaps watching Liz drop over 40 pounds of weight and getting a size zero figure inspired him.
In March 2024, Big Ed had lost almost 12 pounds and wanted to reach his ideal weight of 194 pounds. It looks like he is inching closer to his goal now. In September 2024, Big Ed posted a video of him lifting weights and fans noticed his waist looked slimmer than ever and his body also looked less broad than before. When asked if the secret behind his rapid weight loss was drugs, Big Ed said, “No.” Big Ed has lied to fans before, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s doing it while talking about his fitness transformation too.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4 had a quarantine special Tell All. All cast members had joined through video cameras from the comfort of their homes. Big Ed and Rose came face to face for the first time since their split, even though it was through a screen. Fans had watched Big Ed insult Rose in many ways, including by asking her to take an STD test and making her shave her legs, or gifting her a toothbrush and toothpaste because her breath smelled. However, during the Tell All, he outed her as a bisexual.
Big Ed forced Rose to come out on the show. He claimed that Rose wanted him to come back to the Philippines, but he decided against it when he saw pictures of Rose holding a woman’s hands online. Rose was questioned about this new relationship. She admitted that she was dating a woman but that she had ended things with her. Rose had to reveal that she was bisexual. Rose had never talked about her sexuality on the show. It was not Big Ed’s business and his talking about it had come as a surprise to the Filipina woman.

Big Ed Body-Shamed Liz Woods
Big Ed Wanted Liz To Lose Weight
Big Ed has received flak for several ways in which he mistreated Liz on the show. However, he also offended several fans when he commented on Liz’s weight. Big Ed and Liz had split for a few months after 90 Day: The Single Life season 1, and it appears that after she went back to him, Liz was ready to do anything to please Big Ed. She had joined heels dancing classes and documented her weight loss on social media. It was later revealed that Liz was doing it not to feel good about herself but on Big Ed’s instructions.
Big Ed didn’t like Liz going out with her friends, since he thought they mocked him behind his back. However, he had given her permission to go workout so she could lose weight. The relationship was taking a massive toll on Liz’s emotional and mental well-being. She told her friend Alex that Big Ed made passive-aggressive comments about her appearance. When they looked through their old pictures, Big Ed asked her if she was ever going to go back to that weight. Liz admitted she never felt as insecure about herself as she did then.

Big Ed Accused Liz Of Cheating On Him With A Woman
Big Ed Called Liz A Lesbian
If Big Ed had forced Rose to admit she was bisexual, he had tried doing the same thing to Liz after their engagement. In an episode of 90 Day Fiancé‘s Happily Ever After? season 7, Big Ed and Liz had an engagement party where a co-worker of Liz’s had shown up, and Big Ed was convinced the woman liked Liz in more of a romantic way. He had asked Liz about it, and she got upset and left. Liz left the party all by herself and started walking the streets crying. The producers offered to give Liz a ride home.
“Liz, she was a lesbian you were in a relationship with. She got physical with you and she denied it.”
Big Ed was trying to gaslight Liz into admitting she was a lesbian. A confused Liz asked Big Ed, “When?” and he said, “You tell me.” Big Ed accused Liz of being with both men and women after their split. All Liz wanted was proof, but Big Ed kept telling her that he was tired of her dishonesty and that he wanted to marry her, but he couldn’t because of trust issues. Liz told the cameras that she would never have invited someone to her engagement party if she’d had a relationship with them.

In April 2021, TVShowsAce shared a shocking report about Darcey’s daughters, Aniko Bollok, and Aspen Bollok’s opinions about Big Ed. Rose, Liz, and now Porscha are all younger than Big Ed’s daughter, Tiffany Brown. Big Ed has never had a relationship with a woman close to his age on the show and his interactions with his fans on social media have always had a creepy vibe to them. 90dayfiancefanatics2 had shared a screenshot showing one of Darcey’s daughters, Aniko commenting on how Big Ed made her feel uncomfortable when she met him.
Aniko and Aspen were 16 and 14 years old at the time. She wrote that during the season 4 Tell All, Big Ed commented on her and her sister. She recalled Big Ed talking about “how attractive” she and Aspen were. She wrote that it made both of them feel “uncomfortable.” Big Ed seems to have never reacted to such shocking accusations made by a co-star’s daughter. Big Ed should have at least apologized for making the kids feel unsafe.
