These days, being famous from a viral video is not such a difficult task thanks to the internet. However, at the same time, it also does not take much for someone’s career to be destroyed after one wrong move.
For instance, one woman experienced the downfall of her career after posting just a six-minute video. Read on below to find out what happened and why the video was so controversial.
Nicole Arbour posted a controversial video called ‘Dear Fat People’
Nicole Arbour is a YouTuber who started uploading videos online in the late 2000’s. Arbour attracted many fans for several years for her blunt humor, though that ended up backfiring in 2015. That year, she gained notoriety in 2015 when she uploaded a video called “Dear Fat People.”
The video showed Arbour speaking to the camera as she condemned overweight and obese people. Arbour did not hold back on sharing her offensive thoughts because she wanted people to be so embarrassed that they would go out and lose weight.
“Fat-shaming is not a thing. Fat people made that up. That’s a race card with no race,” Arbour said at one point. “I’m not saying this to be an a**hole, I’m saying it because your friends should be saying it to you.”
Nicole Arbour received a lot of backlash after posting her video
Unsurprisingly, Arbour’s video did not sit well with a lot of people on the internet. Many critics slammed Arbour for promoting anti-fat bias and adding to the stigma that overweight and obese folks already face everyday.
For example, model Ashley Graham called Arbour’s video “disgusting” and that she was “tired of body shaming.”
Meanwhile, Whitney Thore, the star of TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life, also called out Arbour for her insensitivity. She told ABC News: “There are a lot of reasons why people are overweight or obese. This idea that shaming us will make us behave better is just ludicrous.”
Arbour was subsequently fired from an upcoming movie that she was set to appear in. She was also let go from a choreography job for an anti-bullying video.
Nicole Arbour tried to defend herself after the backlash
Arbour did not stay quiet after receiving backlash, however. She went on to defend herself. The YouTuber maintained that her video was meant to be “satire” and that she felt it was “really important that we make fun of everybody.”
As for the fact that many people found her video offensive, Arbour said: “I find seeing someone’s head being blown off offensive. I find children starving in a country with more than enough food offensive. I find women’s bodies being mutilated for religious purposes, that is offensive to me. But words and satire I don’t find offensive.”
Nicole Arbour was also accused of abusing her ex-boyfriend
A few months after Arbour posted her infamous “Dear Fat People” video, she came under fire again. This time, Arbour was accused of physically and emotionally abusing her ex-boyfriend, YouTuber Matthew Santoro.
Santoro uploaded a video called “My Abuse Story,” in which he described how he was in an abusive relationship for “almost a year of my life.”
Even though Santoro did not specifically name Arbour in the video, fans immediately connected the two of them anyway since it was well-known that they were together for some time.
Arbour posted a video in response to Santoro. She claimed that she never did anything wrong and that he was making things up for attention. She said: “He didn’t suffer from domestic abuse, it didn’t happen. He did this to get views and to hurt me.”
Both Arbour and Santoro have since deleted their videos, but it’s clear that Arbour’s career never recovered after these scandals.
