Jessica is imploding on Twitter, only she doesn't seem to realize it. People were backlashing about her joke about being used to not eating since they are models. She keeps telling people to get over it, and here is her most recent response: 

 

Fatma Othman @xphat tweeted to her: 
Nothing funny about the seriousness of eating disorders/mental health. No worries, good luck with the race!

 

Jessica VerSteeg @JessVerSteeg responded:

Also nothing funny about black people, or gays, or Tourette's, or when someone falls ... But u laugh at those jokes

 

What the F??? She kept insisting she was joking, and that it isn't a problem in the modeling world any longer, but then justifies it by comparing it to other jokes that are also not funny to most of us. SMH

Rob C. & Jessica Leise were just commenting on the model not eating "joke". They thought it was kind of icky, too. They didn't think it was funny and in poor taste.

Jeez, as if I didn't already hate this team enough with their "OMG, we're SO adorable" schtick. Blech.

The comment on the show was an unfunny sarcastic remark; however, I sort of got the place it comes from. I have had a few friends who have been told to eat a sandwich by strangers so they occasionally have made a sarcastic comment about their own eating habits before anyone can ay anything but that twitter response is seriously straight up WTF?

[Chyna]

Not at all sorry to see them go.

It was driving me nuts -- where had I seen Brittany before. (I'm old as dirt and don't follow social media celebs.) Then it hit me -- she was one of the models on the Project Runway spinoff, Models of the Runway. IIRC, she came off pretty well in a house of staged drama.
