J.R.says he Never called Kharma “Fat”:
Jim Ross has updated the Q&A section on his official website. He reiterated his thoughts on Kharma revealing on Raw that he told her she’d never make it in WWE because she was “too fat.” He says he never called her that.
Ross wrote, “Kharma tried out for Tough Enough in Vegas at an open casting call for seemingly hundreds of potential talents. I never told her she was ‘too fat’ but that she was ‘too big’ at that time to be cast in a role that the role’s criteria had been clearly outlined to us.”
“People don’t get that pro wrestling shows are entertainment based and facts, situations, etc are often times embellished for entertainment purposes. Those that have lashed out at me have wasted their time denigrating me for something that was not factual and was scripted.

Kharma posted a blog update over at Blogspot.com and discusses her promo from RAW where she said Jim Ross told her a few years ago that she was "too fat" to make it in WWE.
"I've been told that a lot of people are taking pot shots at Jim Ross lately.
If @JRsBBQ hadn't shot from the hip all those years ago, I wouldn't of had the fire to succeed as much as I did. I wouldn't of had the strength to sacrifice being with my family, my country, my native tongue to live in Japan for 6 years and learn this craft. I owe Mr. Ross a great gratitude. Not only for setting me on my path to success, but also being there with open arms at the end of my journey and escorting me to the finish line. Many of you may not know this but JR lobbied for my recruitment to WWE. We met at the Cauliflower Alley Club reunion in Las Vegas and I became fast friends with him and his lovely wife. He had heard the noise I was making in the industry and graciously gave me kudos. You never have to worry about where you stand with JR. He'll give you constructive criticism when you need it and praise when you've earned it. He's no sycophant and that is something to be celebrated. I'm hoping you all send him a thankful salutation, I know I will."
