Fury after Jaws star Richard Dreyfuss' son says he'd 'never have sex with fat person'

Jaws star Richard Dreyfuss ' son has sparked outrage as he claims he'd never have sex "with a fat person".

Ben Dreyfuss' Twitter followers are not happy with him after he responded to an article.

The writer and comedian made his comments in a threat about an unrelated article titled You need help: You fat-shamed your beautiful girlfriend.

The 36-year-old started off by writing: "That is outrageous! I've never dated a fat person!"

"I mean I don't even know many fat people. The few I do know I'm definitely not going to f**k.

"I like to think that if I was dating someone and they gained weight, I would be supportive about how they could lose it.

"If I fell in love with you and we were together and you put on some weight, I truly believe that I wouldn't break up with you. I would work on it with you and we would go to a fat camp together or whatever."

He then went on to continue his thread by saying he had 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 I was bisexual to scare her off. Nowadays I don't think you can scare off any regrettable one night stands with "I'm bi" but in 2007 you still could."

Ben then claimed that the "majority" of Americans are obese, saying : "So you cant even talk about fat vs thin without people being like 'how dare you! everyone should weigh 328 pounds'.

"Look, I'm not a nice person. I don't live on some butter farm for fatsos. Don't expect me to be nice about this."

CDC figures report 41.9 percent of Americans are either overweight or obese.

Ben finished off by writing: "I didn't call you obese. That's a determination for a doctor. I just meant you're too fat for athletic people in LA and NYC. I'm sure you're totally attractive at the Iowa state fair or whatever. Godspeed."

However, followers didn't seem to find his thread funny.

One wrote: "'I met you once and you were the single most unpleasant person I've ever met."

As another added: "You can't even nepobaby right."
