In September, a relatively unknown comedian named Nicole Arbour gained notoriety after uploading a controversial fat-shaming video titled, “Dear Fat People,” in which she went on a six-minute rant against obesity. “Fat-shaming is not a thing,” Arbour said in the video. “Fat people made that up. It’s like the race card, with no race.” Not long after its debut, the video went viral. YouTube had removed Arbour’s channel, but it was later reinstated. Since then, it has been watched almost nine million times.
Arbour refused to apologize for the video and now claims that the entire thing was strategized. “I made a marketing plan behind it, the same way that anyone makes marketing plans for anything,” she told Cosmopolitan. “So, I kind of loaded the bases, like baseball.” Before “Dear Fat People,” she posted a series of videos, with titles such as, “Why Girls Are Crazy,” “Why You REALLY Got Divorced” and “Dear Instagram Models,” which showed Arbour complaining about seeing “Instagram internet bitches post photos of their Louis Vuitton bags and Chanel shoes with hashtag blessed, but they’re never showing the old man’s balls they’re sucking who hashtag blessed them.”
