The son of Jaws actor Richard Dreyfuss, Ben, 36, is criticized for announcing that he would never have sex ‘with a fat person’
- Ben Dreyfuss’ attempt at ‘schtick’ backfired with his Twitter followers
- He said he ‘don’t even know many fat people’ but he slept with one ‘once’
- Dreyfuss is a writer and an actor, but he hasn’t had many big roles.
The actor son of Jaws star Richard Dreyfuss has sparked fury among his Twitter followers by announcing that he would never date or sleep with a ‘fat person’.
Dreyfuss, a self-described writer and comedian, made the comments in a thread on Jan. 18.
Starting from an unrelated article titled “You Need Help: You Embarrassed Your Beautiful Girlfriend,” Dreyfuss, 36, began his “schtick.”
‘That’s outrageous! I have never dated a fat person! he stated, before launching a thread of several tweets on the subject.

Dreyfuss’s attempt at humor did not work. He also claimed to have slept ‘with a fat girl in 2007’ once.
I mean I don’t even know many fat people. The few I know I am definitely not going to fuck.
“I like to think that if I were dating someone and they gained weight, I would support them on how they could lose it.
‘If I fell in love with you and we were together and you gained weight, I really don’t think I would break up with you. She’d work on it with you and we’d go to fat camp together or whatever.
Continuing his virtual stand-up, he later claimed to have slept with ‘a fat girl once’.
I slept with a fat girl once. It was 2007. I met her in a cowboy bar. She was a conservative from Long Island who weighed 130, maybe 140 pounds. When she texted me a week later, I told her that she was bi to scare her off.
“Today I don’t think you can scare away sorry one-night stands with ‘I’m Bi,’ but in 2007 you still could.”

Ben went on to say that ‘most’ Americans are obese, ‘so you can’t even talk about fat vs. skinny without people saying ‘how dare you? They should all weigh 328 pounds.’
Recent figures from the CDC say that 41.9 percent of Americans are overweight or obese.
‘Look, I’m not a good person. I don’t live on a fat butter farm. Don’t expect me to be nice to this,’ she said.
Finally, he said goodbye: ‘I didn’t call you obese. That is a determination for a doctor. I just meant that you’re too fat for the athletic people of Los Angeles and New York.
‘I’m sure you’re totally hot at the Iowa State Fair or whatever. Good luck.’

“You can’t even nepobaby right,” said one follower, while others pointed out that he himself has a glass eye, a fact he routinely refers to.
“I met you once and you were the most disgusting person I’ve ever met,” said another.
Dreyfuss worked for Mother Jones as an editorial director, but now has a Substack page.
He recently played a young Bernie Madoff in an ABC miniseries about the deceased con man.
