‘The Internet is Undefeated’: ‘M2M’ Star Dr. Heavenly Gets a Taste of Her Own Medicine after Calling Buffie Purselle ‘Fat Ass’

It looks like “Married to Medicine” star Dr. Heavenly Kimes is getting dragged to filth by the internet after making an offensive comment on the show.

On a teaser for the upcoming “M2M” reunion special, Kimes got into a heated altercation with her cast mate Buffie Purselle. It’s unclear what the the two Bravo co-stars were arguing about, but it caused Purselle to throw shade at Kimes and blurt out, “You’re lying through them dentures.”

In response, Kimes fired back, “You lying through that fat ass.”

Several “M2M” fans took offense at Kimes’ remarks, considering that she once was a heavier woman before losing a significant amount of weight.

After that, it didn’t take long for social media users to find an old picture of Kimes and her husband before her significant weight loss. One fan re-posted the image and wrote, “Is this who called Buffie fat? O… o wow 😂.”

Kimes retweeted the fan’s photo of her and wrote, “The internet is undefeated!! Y’all got me!!! #married2med. #istillhadmyman 😜😜😂😂#kissmyfatass #TeamDaddy.”

It didn’t take long for the fan comments to roll in.

“LMAOO heavenlyyyy don’t have a filterrr , she just blurt it out but she did come for her 😂. She still look beautiful the & now.”

“I’m glad they pulled this pic up. Heavenly has no room to talk about anybody being fat. At least Buffie gotta shape 🙄”

“@drheavenly you are very beautiful then and now… Why people comparing the past to present!! Haters are going to hate… Can’t wait to see the reunion”

“This is literally the pot calling the kettle black the audacity 😂.”

Kimes joined “M2M” during season 2 and had lost 75 pounds prior to appearing on the show.

She told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2014, “I changed my mindset. I made my vision board of how much [weight] I wanted to lose. I looked at it every day and reminded myself why I wanted to do it — I wanted to be healthy for my family and to live a longer life.”

Kimes said her biggest challenge was maintaining her low-calorie diet and working out nearly every day. She added that losing weight changed her life drastically.

“I’m more energetic, and I’m able to do more with my husband, and children,” she said. “I still work at it every day — it’s not easy.”

As for the “Married to Medicine” Season 7 reunion, it kicks off Sunday, Dec. 29, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
