The cast of the “creepiest” episode of “Date My Mom” has reunited nearly 20 years later, and they all agree on one thing: Even though their recently viral episode is getting a lot of love on social media today, the episode would never appear in the present time. climate.
TMZ’s own Charlie Neff got the gang back together Kasey Washburn And Heather Silva on “The TMZ Podcast” — Heather felt like she was being shamed by MTV after her 2006 episode aired, then cast member Nick Contes chose her in his search for love.
They agree that society today is all about celebrating different body types and avoiding mocking heavier people… and the shift towards body positivity is increasingly being seen in mainstream advertising – so that episode could be a total be a no-go!
Heather says that luckily she didn’t let the weight shame affect her much at the time, thanks to the absence of social media. But she admits that if she were to experience it today at the same age, it would probably hit her a lot harder because of all the online research.

Heather also mentions that she realized she was being a bit “used” when she first saw Charlie and Kasey during the actual reveal that aired.
ICYMI, the reveal scene from that throwback episode recently went completely viral, racking up nearly 60 million views on IG — with celebrities like Diploma And Chrissy Teigen by pressing that ‘like’ button.
In their unforgettable episode, Nick went on a wild date with three moms to get the scoop on their daughters without seeing them. When the reveal scene happened, he had to choose a daughter to date – and surprisingly, he chose Heather.
While Heather may have been the butt of the joke in the past, she is now living her best life: married with four children.
Nick Contes, on the other hand, turned down the reunion, but is also married and has a family. I guess he couldn’t show up to address the infamous comments he made about Heather’s breasts… to which Heather gives a hilarious response on the podcast – check it out!
