[VIDEO] ‘Dear Fat People’ Video Sparks Online Rage; Youtube Star Nicole Arbour Fired From Job Due To ‘Fat Shaming’

| By

Nicole Arbour's Youtube video entitled "Dear Fat People" recently sparked an online rage for the past week, due to alleged "fat shaming."

But Nicole Arbour's Youtube video, which now has 3 million views, have caused more than a huge backlash on the internet star - now, it has reportedly caused her to lose a project.

According to People Magazine, Arbour was supposed to work as a choreographer for a project called "Don't Talk To Irene," a dance film on anti-bullying.

But after Arbour has uploaded the video, director Par Mills fired her, saying that he "never wants to see her again."

"'Dear Fat People' is an unfunny and cruel fat-shaming video that guises itself about being about 'health,'" Mills said in an interview with Zap2It. "It's fat-phobic and awful. It went on for over six minutes. I felt like I had been punched in the gut,"

"Dear Fat People," Arbour said in the video. "Aaaargh! Some people are really gonna get mad at this video! What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do, fat people? You gonna chase me? Really?"

"It's gonna be like f*cking Frankenstein," she added. "I can get away from you by walking at a reasonable pace!"

The Youtube comedian also claimed that fat shaming is "not a real thing."

"Fat shaming is not a thing. Fat people made that up. That's a race card with no race," she insisted. "There's a race card, there's a disability card, there's even a gay card because gay people are discriminated against wrongfully so,"

Meanwhile, TLC's Whitney Way Thore from "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" responded to Arbour with her own viral take-down video.

"Fat-shaming is a thing; it's a really big thing, no pun intended," Thore said. "It is the really nasty spawn of a larger parent problem called body-shaming, which I'm fairly certain everyone on the planet, especially women, has experienced."

"The next time you see a fat person, you don't know whether that person has a medical condition that caused them to gain weight," Thore added. "You don't know if their mother just died. You don't know if they're depressed or suicidal or if they just lost 100 pounds... You cannot tell a person's health, physical or otherwise from looking at them."


Nicole Arbour's video was briefly suspended but was back on Youtube, Monday.
