Chelsea Settles: Meet MTV's New, 324-Pound Reality Star
by Free Britney at .Chelsea Settles is not small, but MTV hopes she'll be a big hit.
The network's new reality TV starlet is coming to Tinseltown in pursuit of a career in the fashion industry. She's pretty much the anti-Lauren Conrad.
She weighs 324 lbs., which people remind her of constantly, but make no mistake, the 23-year-old is not about to let it stand in the way of a dream.
As she ditches her small town roots for life in the City of Angels, all while struggling to lose weight, Settles' career pursuits meet major obstacles.
She's leaving behind a boyfriend who isn't always supportive, a mom struggling with severe diabetes, and battling her size every step of the way.
The new star will have "an opportunity to expand her social life by confronting the social phobias that have been holding her back," MTV explains.
Unlike most reality shows (cough, any Real Housewives), this features a genuinely likable star, one MTV hopes will be "a new kind of heroine."
Think she will be? Watch the trailer below:
