For the last day or so, I’ve been reading about Jeff Hardy getting “fat.” Some folks are reporting that he looked fat at the house show in Brooklyn, NY last week and they’re floating around a picture of him from the show that supposedly proves this point. I have to offer a comment on this “news” item…
At last week’s house show in Asbury Park, NJ I met Jeff Hardy after the show was over. I was at the bar and he was walking by looking for a cigarette. He stopped and shook my hand as well as my buddy’s hand. The guy was directly in front of me in street clothes – about a foot away from my eyes. For people to say that he’s getting “fat” is completely ridiculous. I saw the man with my own two eyes and he’s not getting fat at all. In fact, he looked extremely normal (if that makes any sense). In other words, he didn’t look fat, he didn’t look emaciated, he just looked like a regular guy.
This is another example of how the internet wrestling fools try to make up news and how once that “news” is made up, it spreads like wildfire. So take it from a guy who shook Jeff Hardy’s hand and was about a foot away from him – he’s not getting fat.
What a ridiculous “news” item…

I haven’t read any news articles mentioning Jeff’s weight but I have noticed quite a few people on youtube mentioning he has gain weight.
He has gained a wee bit of weight but I like I said over there, he is still well within his weight range. He isn’t fat. He isn’t overweight. He isn’t obese.
I even joked that people shouldn’t try and send him to fat camp.
People are just being nitpicky.
On one hand I don’t mind giving a guy scrutiny about his weight considering how women are unfairly scrutinized about their weight. I’ve heard Mickie James and Eve be classified as being too heavy.
Surely they can find someone else to put under the microscope.
And congrats on meeting Jeff Hardy!
Its because he is now in TNA. The WWE fans are crying because he left them XD
I actually just met Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore at the airport in Raleigh – they were heading to Chicago…he is not fat…he may not be “shredded” – but the guy is clearly in shape…it was before 8 a.m. and he and Shannon couldn’t have been nicer…of course it was mostly business travelers so not too many people were bugging him.
I can assure you that he got fat…… a lot. I remember him during the time he was at the WWE, his face and his body changed really a lot. try to compare pics….
There’s “getting fat” and “getting healthy.” I think everyone knows that Hardy was on drugs in WWE and, like most abusers, he was lighter because of it. Now that he’s off the stuff, sure he’s gaining some weight back, but the dude is getting healthy. He’s certainly not “getting fat” as the interwebs like to say. But he’s definitely getting healthy and I wish him the best.
