The Fat Jew, meet Karma.
Karma, meet The Fat Jew.
In a classic taste-of-his-own-medicine scenario, a Twitter user has uploaded every page of the Josh “The Fat Jew” Ostrovsky’s new memoir, “Money Pizza Respect.” Ostrovsky famously came under fire this summer for “curating” his popular Instagram account with unattributed memes and jokes created by other comedians, all the while gaining a massive following that brought with it an explosion of sponsored deals, paid appearances, a line of wine and, most recently, a book deal.

As of this writing, Twitter had not yet shut down user Sealfan78 (@updog7) for violating Twitter’s Terms of Service, but they have stopped him from posting any more pictures.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
