Big Ed Brown has become a popular reality TV star after appearing on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days season 4. That's why the 54-year-old celeb is now cashing in on his newfound fame and establishing his online clothing brand. But, not all fans are impressed by his move and calling his merchandise "crap" and comparing it to "rags."
Ed appeared for the first time on the small screen in February this year alongside his Philippines girlfriend, Rosemarie Vega. Right from the beginning, he was able to grab many viewers' attention because of his antics. He told the fans that since he is 54 and his partner is just 23, he wants to look young for her. And to do that, Ed shared a bizarre beauty hack, which is to apply a jar of mayonnaise on his hair. Later on, the San Diego native demonstrated entitled behavior on the show and embarrassed Rose on multiple occasions. Despite receiving huge criticism from many 90 Day Fiance viewers, Ed has been able to garner a huge fan following on social media in a short period.
So, he's now planning to milk his fame by selling his merch online at a discounted price. He recently shared a picture on his Instagram announcing that as a black Friday deal, all his merchandise on BigEdWear.com is available at "$5 & below." The former TLC star must have thought that his fans and IG followers would be excited to see the discount and would be eager to buy his clothes. However, many 90 Day Fiance fans' reactions were the opposite. Check out the picture he shared with his 453k IG followers:
A 90 Day Fiance fan wrote, "Who the F*CK would buy this shit?" and this comment got 62 likes from other fans. Another one said that he would rather buy a "gas station sushi" while fighting corona. Somebody else said, "I would rather buy donkey turds." Instead of writing a comment, some fans only left emojis of p*op and clown in the comment section. Another one wrote, "Bro stop milking it. Ur days are over."
It's so brave of Ed not to disable or limit the comments on his IG post. Most of the TV celebs quickly turn off the comment section or delete a controversial post if they receive such a huge backlash from their fans. Nonetheless, the former 90 Day Fiance star has still got some loyal fans who have already bought some T-shirts and are now eagerly awaiting their order.
