Arbour’s “Dear Fat People” video, which she posted on September 3, has already reached over 500,000 views on YouTube and more than 18 million views on Facebook.

“So this is what I want to say to fat people”, she said. The bravery of thin people who exploit and abuse fat people for profit is truly unmatched.
There’s a race card. But here’s a tip: If you don’t like it, stop watching.
Unsurprisingly, many members of the online community did not react positively, and while Arbours subscriber count went up, she disabled comments on her video.
Currently, the NSFW “Dear Fat People” fat-shaming video apparently produced by Arbour is available for viewing.
Whitney Way Thore from TV show My Big Fat Fabulous Life posted a response video, busting the myths peddled by Arbour.
“Fat-shaming is a thing; it’s a really big thing, no pun intended”, says Thore in the video.
Nicole has reacted to the backlash by completely ignoring valid criticism and moaning about people “getting offended” by her opinions. “This idea that shaming us will make us behave better is just ludicrous”.
Indeed, Nicole launched into her own claims of censorship when her YouTube account was allegedly pulled by the site’s parent company Google, writing: “Censorship is the only real blasphemy”.
YouTube temporarily suspended Nicole’s account.
Describing her six-minute-long sarcastic diatribe as a “bomb of truth exploding in your face”, Arbour clarified that she’s not targeting slightly overweight people but the “35 percent of North Americans who are obese”.
Arbour’s video will be watched by thousands of teens struggling to accept their bodies, some of whom may be trying to change their bodies in drastic and unhealthy ways due to the pressures of society.
The potty-mouthed blonde went on to defend her previous video where she mocked obese people and said that “fat-shaming” doesn’t exist. “You don’t know if their mother just died”, she explained. Your tone is saccharine and condescending, but the forensic detail in which you express your disgust at my body is truly grotesque. You don’t know if they’re depressed or suicidal or if they just lost a hundred pounds.
And she said she hopes any “fat-shaming” she does will actually motivate people to lose weight. “You don’t know”.
