Lexi Reed has responded to critics who have questioned why she set up a GoFundMe to help pay for medical expenses, with the fitness influencer explaining why people shouldn’t automatically assume that being an influencer means having a lot of money.
Reed, who is recovering after she was placed in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator after her organs began to fail, is well-known in the fitness world after she documented her 312-pound weight loss. On Instagram, where she goes by the username @fatgirlfedup, she has more than 1.2m followers.
