Another member of 90 Day Fiancé copying Stephanie Matto
Big Ed Brown appears to be following in the footsteps of Stephanie Matto from 90 Day Fiancé by selling his farts in jars. Ed is famous for his appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: Before Season 4, where he was dating Rosemarie Vega, a single mother. He is a former photographer, who had met Rose online and flew to the Philippines for the first time on the show to meet her. Then Rose had dumped Big Ed by its end, and the couple had become internet celebrities. But while Rose has moved on from reality television to make a better life for herself at home, Big Ed continues to profit from his celebrity.
As reported here, Big Ed was unconcerned about the backlash of his quirks including wearing mayonnaise in his hair or giving Rose a toothbrush for her ostensibly foul breath. However, with a new, younger partner, he quickly returned on 90 Day: The Single Life. After many ups and downs, Big Ed is now engaged to Liz Woods, saying that he has changed for the better. Fans know Big Ed isn’t one to shy away from the spotlight, and his cringe-worthy Instagram pictures prove it.
So, it’s not a surprise that Big Ed is now copying Stephanie Matto. He teased that his fart jars are a personalized message in a bottle holding his “butt essence” in a teaser video. Big Ed’s Instagram followers were referred to his website, where he’s selling these bottles for $29.99 each. The product offering lists two types of fart jar scents: “Big Ed’s ASSence”, for your enemies, and “Rose scented”, for someone you love, demonstrating that he’s still trying to make money off his ex-girlfriend’s name.
Big Ed’s fart jars’ description goes into great detail on how it may be a gift for a best friend, lover, or enemy, and how it could be merely a prank or an act of war. The bottle contains water beads and a “perfectly nestled toot” with a special handwritten note from Big Ed sent to the receiver on behalf of the buyer, who can have it delivered to the recipient’s home by filling out a form. The autographed note is rolled and wrapped in an odor-proof baggie. The baggy is placed inside the jar among “unactivated water beads” before being filled with one of Ed’s toots.
When water is added to the jar, the beads appear to grow in size, and some of them even shine. Big Ed, on the other hand, asserts that no real farts were made or used to construct his jar, despite Stephanie’s claim that her jars did contain a scent of her butt. Viewers are chastising Big Ed for being inspired by Stephanie, and some don’t want him to end up in the hospital like the original fart jar girl. Finally, it remains to be seen whether Big Ed will go famous on the internet again as a result of his stinky joke or whether he will face additional scorn from 90 Day Fiancé fans.
