Back in 2012-2013, Dr Emil Chynn, a Harvard trained award-winning eye surgeon worth >$10 Million, went on the show Millionaire Match Maker and subsequently went viral when an email containing his dating preferences and non-negotiables were leaked.
Of most interest to the public, were his hard requirements, most notably his insistence on a woman being a size 0-2 and Caucasian. On an episode of "New Day" on CNN, he was grilled and berated by a panel while defending his preferences and requirements. One of his responses to one of the anchors who happened to be plus-sized, was that "himself being 5'4 and 125 lbs", he knows most women wouldn't be interested due them wanting a man larger than themselves" (which is why he specified smaller), to which initially triggered, the plus-sized anchor then reluctantly nodded her head in agreement.
The video has since been removed from YouTube and CNN, but you can read the following articles from Daily Mail (here), Uproxx (here) and Jezebel (here), the former calling him "desperate", and latter referring to him as a "creep" and "douchebag".

The author of an article in Slate Magazine was threatened with litigation over a write-up of encounter with this doctor. The article published was entitled, "My Encounter With the Creepy Craigslist Doctor" where she tried to tarnish his reputation with an insinuation.
Though, the article pre-dated the dating fiasco referenced on this thread by a few years, the write-up dragged him similarly, though with less reach than the networks.
