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.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Forward Publisher & CEO
