Rob Kardashian takes on haters: 'Yea I'm fat now'

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Reality star Rob Kardashian slammed his detractors on social media last week by asserting he is aware that he's gained weight and simply doesn't care.

Kardashian, 27, shared on Instagram Thursday a photo from a time in which he was in a much better shape. But before anyone could criticize him for his weight gain, he wrote back in the caption: "Last throwback of the day and yes I'm fat now so yall haters can literally suck [expletive]".

The photo was mainly well received by his fans who supported him with comments like "we love you rob," "fat or not fat your going places" and "let em hate."

"I fat too," wrote one Instagram user. "Who gives a [expletive]. Chipotle and in n out are the [expletive] best."

Kardashian later shared a screen grab of some of his favorite comments writing: "Lol I'm actually laughing at your comments haha especially the one two above the in n out and chipotle comment but that in n out and chipotle comment is a mind reader ... love you all."

While the reality star seems to be coming to terms with his new size, Kardashian made headlines multiple times last year over concerns that he was facing mental health issues because of his weight gain. The sock designer vowed to lose weight after he skipped his sister Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West, allegedly because he felt insecure.
