The controversial Big Ed grew up with Klippel-Feil syndrome, which makes it look like he doesn’t have a neck. “But I do,” Big Ed told Screen Rant in an interview from early 2021. Big Ed, whose relationship with Liz Woods might workout, has three vertebrates that are the size of two when most other humans would usually have seven. His chest cavity is also larger than normal. “I’ve been bullied all my life,” he said. “I learned at a young age I can either let this condition define who I am or I can accept that God made me this way." However, all of Big Ed’s bad memories returned after his reality TV debut because of the mean comments he started to get.

But a fan reached out to Big Ed, who was having mental health issues, to let him know that he finds him inspiring.
How Big Ed Reacts To Being Bullied Due To Klippel-Feil Syndrome
90 Day Fiancé's Big Ed feels he is misunderstood and wants fans to get to know him better, not just for the person he is on TV or social media. In another interview with Screen Rant from 2021, Big Ed commented, “I want people to know that I’m actually a very nice and caring person.” He thinks people don’t know how much of a generous and caring human he is. 90 Day Fiancé star Big Ed wants to focus on the fans who think positively about him and laugh at the negativity instead of dwelling on it. “If you walk through the gutter every day and look down that is your life,” Big Ed recalls his brother telling him. He believes, “When you read negative comments about your life that aren’t true you become that sad person."
