The parents of Jazz Jennings, a man ushered into the national spotlight as a transgender reality tv star at the age of 5, “fat-shame” and chastise their self-proclaimed mentally ill son in season 7 of “I am Jazz.

In a trailer for the upcoming season, Jennings reveals he has gained over 100 pounds while struggling with mental health issues while being mocked by his family, in the trailer of Season 7 of his TLC reality series “I am Jazz.”

“I do experience fat-shaming from my family,” the 21-year-old, who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2018, explains in one scene. “It makes me feel really humiliated.”

In another clip, Jazz takes his shirt off and strips down to a sports bra to showcase his “big old belly.”


Plans to attend Harvard University fail by the wayside two years ago because had to “refocus and recenter” his mental health, he explains.

“I was actually struggling severely with mental health issues. I started binge-eating and I gained weight and more weight and more weight. And now, almost 100 pounds heavier, here I am today.”

Jazz’s parents, Jeanette and Greg use the name “Jennings” as a pseudonym to guard their privacy. The couple, who began documenting their son’s transition to a girl at the age of 2, reprimand Jazz for being obese and lethargic following the gender reassignment surgery, in another scene.

“Even when we think we are doing something right, she falls off the wagon,” Jazz’s mother Jeanette laments while discussing his weight gain.

In an argument with his parents, Jazz pledges to lose weight.

“Prove it! Because you’re all talk!” his mother retorts.

“I’m out of shape. Be easy on me,” Jazz tells his parents and siblings who are seen scolding him at the dinner table. “Having all this extra weight, I can’t do so many things with my body that I used to be able to do.”
