Plus-size model, Ashley Graham, reacted to a video that Nicole Arbour posted earlier this week, which is making fun of obese people. In the six-minute video titled "Dear Fat People," Arbour says that fat people cannot chase her because they walk like zombies.
During the New York Fashion Week kickoff party on Sept. 9, Wednesday, the plus-size model told E! News that she was terribly horrified by the posted video, although she used to think that Arbour was a funny person.
Graham said that Arbour was normally a funny girl but talked about a subject that was disgusting. She thought that women had already had enough with their day-to-day life and Arbour just added up to it by saying that they are fat or big-boned people.
The 27-year old plus-size model has always been an advocate for women of different and all sizes so that they would feel comfortable with their own body and skin. She wanted to empower women and make sure that every woman would feel and become confident as well as comfortable who they are. However, Arbour's six-minute video did the opposite.
Graham also added that she did not like the video at all, and yet, the video just gave the curvy women more publicity and that the public would say that they are actually sexy.
Arbour, on the other hand, might have thought that the posted video would mean as a comedy; however, social media did not quite see it that way as people responded harshly to it. As a result, Youtube has temporarily disabled Arbour's account, and she has been fired from "Body-Positive Dance" movie, according to Celebrity News Insider.
