Today, my mother-in-lawyer threatened to sue me unless I took my professional wedding photographs off Facebook, as she didn't like that they made her look fat. She is over 300 pounds. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I found out my mother-in-law is trying to force me to lose weight, even though I am trying, and have a medical condition. FML
Today, my sister told me she didn’t want me in her wedding pictures because I looked fat in my bridesmaid's dress. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law started shit-talking me on Facebook, and we got into a heated argument. She called me later in the day, saying I'll be lucky if I ever marry her son and that, "You'll suffer to your last breath." I'm now terrified to set foot outside. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law tried to blackmail me out of the wedding with photographs of me with another man. Her son and I met on a swingers website and we both have multiple sexual partners, so we had to tell her the truth. Awkward doesn’t begin to describe it. FML
Today, a 300 lb woman caused a huge scene at the public pool where I work. She accused me of fatshaming and swore to sue me for discrimination. I asked her to cover up, as her 3x too small string bikini went against the pool’s dress code. I don’t make the rules, I just have to enforce them. FML
Today, I was subpoenaed on behalf of my mother-in-law. My husband said if I didn't defend her and consequently lie under oath, our marriage is over. She said, "I can get rid of two problems in one day!" FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. FML
Today, I spent thirty minutes on the phone with my best friend's mom, because her daughter was too afraid to tell me that I'm no longer a bridesmaid at her wedding because I'm too fat. FML
Today, my lawyer threatened to sue me because I can't afford his bill, which he sent to me after getting me out of a lawsuit. FML
Today, on Facebook, my sister posted a ton of photos of herself wearing a skimpy bikini, commenting that she looked hideous and fat. I can't stand attention-seeking fuckballs, so I called her on it. My mother then condemned me for "mocking" my sister, and grounded me for an entire month. FML

She's a huge bitch.

You can use a feature on Facebook that blocks a certain person from viewing a specific picture. Try that maybe?

If she doesn't like looking fat then maybe she should lay off the doughnuts and invest in a gym membership. Unless she has a medical condition, of course.
WhisperSoflty 20
Even if she has a medical condition, she should lay off of the doughnuts. No one gets to 300 pounds without some seriously bad eating habits.

There is this woman I work with who was holding a box of homemade doughnuts while complaining to me about how hard it is to lose weight, and that she needed to "try cardio" because that would "help her get ready for beach season." People these days....

Less than 1% of people who are obese, are obese due to a medical condition, so I highly ******* doubt that.

tell that fat **** to go to the gym

What a kind person you are.

You should threaten to tag her in the photo!

...as "the land whale"

"Hey everyone! Want to see the pics of the beached whale that got washed ashore at my wedding?"

Monster in law.

Just crop her out of the photos. Hopefully she was standing near the edge.
CharresBarkrey 15
I think it would be way funnier if she were in the middle. Just leave a huge white blob in the picture
Accuraxy 10
That's terrible. And like someone previously said: don't allow her to view those photos. I think that is incredibly selfish of her, sorry OP.

Just out-strategize her. She never said you couldn't put them on Flickr!
cottoncandymango 17
Crop her out. Problem solved.

#21, not so fast! Have you ever cropped a fattie out of a photo? You have to put in a truck, or a boulder or a big, topiary shrub in to fill in the hole.
KiddoKS 19
Or you could just put someone else's head on her body. Easier than working a boulder into the wedding decor :)

Then 3 quarters of the pic will be gone

It's hard to "crop out" a water buffalo!
AestheticGuy 21
@perdix LOL!!!

She doesn't have any legal recourse unless the photographer was trespassing on her property to take the pictures, the pictures contain something inherently illegal, the pictures were taken with a view to slander or defamation, or you intend to use the pictures for commercial purposes. I am guessing since they are your wedding photos none of those scenarios apply.
SammyS2012 21
she can sue because legally if someone dpes not want their picture online, they can pull it down. that's why schools require parent's permission in case they take a picture, put it on their yearbook/website
TheDrifter 23
"It makes me look fat" is slander/defamation in American courts nowadays. OP had better watch out or the settlement payment will look like an alimony check.
archnarquibquib 21
I believe that isn't an issue here as she willingly posed for a picture. You only sign a waiver for minors as they are not adults yet. Besides, I'm sure everyone knew these wedding pictures would end up viewed by somebody. Might as well sue the photographer for putting them in his portfolio. Most need examples of their work to get new clients.
jhs578650 9
@48 We aren't talking about minors here. That is an entirely different rule book. The OP does not need her mother-in-law's consent to post her wedding pictures, even if her mother-in-law is in them.
jhs578650 9
@54 Slander (or libel) requires that the statements made be untrue. Defamation requires malice. There is nothing untrue or malicious about wedding photos.
TogeBara 12
as #60 said that isn't slander. Even if she claimed it was, having an expert witness (doctor) in court say she was obese would ruin her case.
SammyS2012 21
I was using the school thing as an example, but maybe that's just my area. Even if you're posing for the picture, if you don't want your picture published, they have to take it down because then they are eligible for a lawsuit
Fmlsea 28
simple thenn dont pose for a picture
SammyS2012 21
I have actually seen a lot of cases where people pose for picture but refuse them to be posted anywhere. It's a waste of everyone's time but it still happens
nnnope 26
I'm assuming this woman doesn't own any mirrors? sorry OP. at least, judging from 22's comment, she can't actually do anything except continue being a crazy bitch.
Corrupt_waffles 13
And what lucky mirrors they are.
