Nicole Arbour appeared on ABC’s The View this week to talk about her “Dear Fat People” video and the comedienne refused to apologize.

As we previously reported, Arbour got a lot of backlash for the video, which is up to nearly 30 million views on Facebook so far.
She faced the co-hosts, most of whom were offended by the video themselves. Joy Behar told her she’s “hiding” behind being concerned for overweight people's health, telling her, "That's bull and you know it. You don't care about their health."
But Arbour was unapologetic and spoke about it being fair game to make fun of anyone with no limitations, People reports.
“That video was made to offend people, just the way I do with all my other videos," Arbour said. "It's just satire, it's just being silly. I'm just having a bit of fun, and that's what we did."
She added, “That topic was actually voted in by fans, some of whom are fat. They're like, 'You can't make fun of some people and not make fun of me too.' "
Since the video went viral, she was reportedly fired from a film job although she claimed she was never attached to it in the first place.
