Meet Chelsea Settles. You can call her a new kind of MTV heroine, or you can call her Chelsea -- just your average 23-year-old small-town girl, who's obsessed with Kim Kardashian and has dreams of moving to Los Angeles and making it in the fashion industry. She's also the subject of MTV's new docu-series, "Chelsea Settles." But, for the sake of reality television drama, there is a slight catch. Chelsea weighs 324 pounds. The six-episode reality series, which premieres Tuesday at 11 p.m., follows Chelsea as she moves from Uniontown, Pa., a tiny town outside of Pittsburgh, to Los Angeles to follow her dreams. But it wasn't an easy decision.
In the pilot episode, Chelsea nearly quits filming entirely after she gets verbally harassed about her weight. It's an emotional scene for Chelsea, who says she had never been bullied before. "I wish someone would have told me that the early twenties would suck this much, but no one let me know," Settles jokingly told The Huffington Post. "I would have taken my time growing up."
