Footage also surfaced of Sobinoff calling him “tubby” just before she walked down the aisle to her groom-to-be.
The 31-year-old, who is now married to partner Alexander Vega, slammed Ball online for being a “liar” and “not owning his shit”.
“There are pictures of you finding it funny to torture me and then saying I’m nice. Liar from the start,” she said.
Sobinoff went on to say she apologized for her “s**t comment” on Ball’s weight, but claimed he doubled down and continued to insult her performance in the media.
