Why My 600-Lb Life Fans Can't Stand Gilbert

Fans were happy that Lupe recognized that she deserved better but were upset when it was revealed that Karina Garcia from Season 6 of "My 600-Lb Life" was dating Gilbert (via Starcasm). The two claim to have met when she hired him as a personal trainer.

On another Reddit thread, fans asked, "How can she date him after seeing his behavior towards Lupe!?" and stressed that Karina deserves better as well. Both threads discussed his cheating and manipulative ways, believing that he only cares about being on TV. However, everyone agreed that his worst moment was pressuring Lupe into having sex right after her weight-loss surgery, which led to complications during her recovery. "So gross and terrible!" said u/sed2017. "He gave me the creeps 100%!" Others called him a "predator" and said he "should be in jail" for what he did to Lupe.

On his Instagram, Gilbert shares Snapchat-filtered selfies with Karina, who has kept a low profile on social media since her appearance on the show. Perhaps the two will appear together on an upcoming season of "My 600-lb Life" and address the controversy.
