Chris shared a photo of himself smiling while in a mint green FUBU sweatshirt. Though he didn't look 'fat,' he did look fuller in his face.

'Lots of requests for fat pictures....we'll start small,' he captioned the image. The star then added, '13 Years old 230 lbs.'

He has said that at one point he got up to 300lbs. It is not known when he started shedding the weight.

Another wrote: 'So Chris is the “former fat guy” who got skinny and thinks he’s hot s**t now and can treat girls and everyone else the way he always wanted to when he used to be fat.’

‘Chris has no [confidence], he’s still that fat kid wanting girls to like him. He’s just an ass,’ another viewer said.

Arguing with Lincoln was only one of the issues Chris had on the show.

Randone also displayed some very unattractive behavior to Becca like demanding kisses from her.

He has since apologized for his behavior in a lengthy Instagram post, admitting: ‘My time on the Bachelorette brought up cringeworthy situations. Now that my journey has concluded and going through the thousands of hate mail, death threats, and negative comments made about my mother. I finally found it within myself to post a response.

Sorry: Chris has since apologized for his aggressive behavior toward Becca in a lengthy Instagram post

‘I’m not mad or upset with any hatred that’s been thrown at me because it’s been a nightmare for me to watch this journey as well.’

Chris added: ‘I could barely watch the latest episodes in full without cringing and I’m truly sorry you had to endure that pain alongside me. I take full responsibility for my actions on the show. I spiraled down and let my emotions get the best of me.'

He also admitted that he 'was insecure which was unattractive.'

Chris may have bid farewell to The Bachelorette, but he’s returning to the franchise for Bachelor in Paradise, it was announced on Tuesday.
