FC Online Marketing Inc. is weighing in on Biggest Loser star Tara Costa.
The company has filed a lawsuit against her for allegedly gaining weight which infringes on their business deal.
We hired Tara Costa in 2011 to be a spokesperson Michael Parrella FC chief executive told Newsday. She came on at a certain weight. We had a fitness clause. She was in material breach after she gained in my opinion about 45 pounds.
Costa was scheduled to visit 15 franchise locations but we weren't able to send her anywhere because she gained a lot of weight.

Now the reality star's lawyer Darren Heitner is striking back claiming FC is tipping the scale in their favor after a breach of an appearance contract along with their exploitation of Ms. Costa's name and image without compensation on a website that promoted their commercial services.
Since appearing on season seven of NBC's hit series 'The Biggest Loser ' Ms. Costa has remained physically fit and even participated in an ironman competition he told Today.com. FC Online's effort to frame any debate as one related to Ms. Costa's appearance is misguided and will be exposed throughout the litigation.
Costa's Twitter supporters immediately showed support after news of the lawsuit broke.
