AceShowbiz - Nicole Arbour showed up on "The View" after she came under fire over her controversial "Dear Fat People" video. The comedian and YouTube star refused to apology despite the backlash she received for the mean jokes. She came to her own defense instead, saying that it's just a satire.
"That video was made to offend people, just the way I do with all the other videos. It's just satire, I'm just being silly. I'm just having a bit of fun, and that's what we did," she said. "The topic was actually voted in, by fans, some of them, who are fat. They're like, 'You can't make fun of some people, and not make fun of me, too."
Joy Behar, however, was not impressed with her reasoning. "I'm a comic, so if I'm gonna do a joke about a fat person, I'm gonna say I'm fat first. You're not fat - that's the problem," the co-host said. "You take it on yourself first, and then maybe you can do a joke, but you didn't do that and then you sort of hide behind this, 'Well, it's not healthy.' That's bull, and you know it. You don't care about their health. Come on."
Still, Arbour argued, "I do care about people's health, but the whole thing was a joke and I make fun of myself all the time. I think we've all got to make jokes about everybody."
