Friday August 4, 2017, was a day Robbie Tripp will probably struggle to forget. It was the day his Instagram post to his wife Sarah went viral and turned him into an internet hate figure.
Robbie shared a picture of the couple on the beach and told
the world how much he loves Sarah's curves (Sarah, who looked perfectly normal sized and attractive). Or as Robbie put it, her 'thick thighs, big booty, cute little side roll."
In the open letter, the 26-year-old "entrepreneur" wrote that he used to be teased as a teenager "for my attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) bro might refer to as 'chubby' or even 'fat'."
He went on to explain that he had since "educated myself on issues such as feminism" and now realises that "a real woman is not a porn star or a bikini mannequin or a movie character."
