However recently, when the topic of discussion on ‘The Five’ turned out to be Oliver Anthony’s viral blue-collar anthem, ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ which represents the diminishing plight of the rural, put-upon white working-class hero, Tarlov’s naive remarks didn’t sit well with the viewers.
She stated that the line, “And the obese milkin' welfare” in the song was a tug at fat people and an attempt to ridicule them.
Jessica defended her statement with all her might on the show and stated that the song despite its best motives was offensive to fat people everywhere.
