The academic has quit the platform in a huff after he was criticised for calling the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Yumi Nu 'not beautiful'

What makes Peterson’s aversion to criticism extra hilarious is that one of the rules in his famous book is “Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world.” Peterson’s own house, alas, is a complete mess. One rule for public life in the modern age – certainly one that every woman in the public eye has discovered – is that you have to develop a very thick skin. There was the infamous time, for example, when the Indian essayist Pankaj Mishra accused Peterson of peddling “ fascist mysticism”. Peterson, in turn, called Mishra an “arrogant, racist son of a bitch” and proclaimed: “If you were in my room at the moment, I’d slap you happily.” “The endless flood of vicious insult [sic] is really not something that can be experienced anywhere else,” Peterson tweeted on Monday, “If I have something to say I’ll write an article or make a video. If Twitter had been around during the age of enlightenment we’d presumably have had Immanuel Kant furiously leaning over his keyboard typing: “the Queen of Prussia is NOT hot. For now, however, he wants us all to know that Twitter is a hellhole which makes your life infinitely worse.

Find out what Yumi Nu said about her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover and how it would have changed her body image if she saw it when she was younger.

So for me to be on the cover of Vogue Japan meant being seen and being honored by a culture that often makes people with bigger bodies like mine feel invisible,” she wrote. While she acknowledged the negative role social media can play in body image, Nu said seeing people who looked like her on Instagram helped her accept her own body. In an interview with People, Nu opened up about the impact that her cover appearance may have on young, plus size, Asian girls.

Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson has slammed Yumi Nu, a plus-size model, after she appeared on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover.

While talking to the magazine for this year's edition, Nu said she was very excited to be a part of the project and "knew it would feel different than my rookie year.” She is the niece of American DJ and producer Steve Aoki. “I felt more confident and less afraid going into it, which brought a new energy to my shoot. As for her ethnicity, Nu was born in America but she has Japanese and Dutch roots. It felt like Asian representation was last on the list. As of writing, Peterson's tweet has more than 3000 retweets and over 40K likes.

Yumi Nu is a star in the making. Last year, she made history by becoming the first Asian curve model to shine on the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

In April, Numi graced the cover of Vogue Japan and she took to her Instagram and penned a heartfelt caption on achieving the big milestone. As of now, she has nearly 111k followers on the social networking service. Over the past year, the model has taken the world of modeling by storm. For those of you who don’t know, Nu is a model and musician by profession. It truly shattered the ceiling of what I knew to be possible for myself. Yumi Nu is a star in the making.

After debuting in the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit last year, plus-sized model and singer Yumi Nu is now on the cover of this year's issue.

The magazine announced Monday this year's cover models for its popular swim issue.

So for me to be on the cover of Vogue Japan meant being seen and being honored by a culture that often makes people with bigger bodies like mine feel invisible,” she told Sports Illustrated. The recording artist and plus-size model was photographed in Montenegro by James Macari. During her shoot, she wore swimsuits by brands such as Michael Costello x REVOLVE, Ola Vida, Riot Swim and more. In her years on this planet she’s earned two master’s degrees in nutrition science, won awards in the dietetics field, has been in countless fashion shows and editorials, and she’s even appeared in a Beyoncé video. Kardashian told the outlet that she “never thought in a million years” she’d be featured, especially at her age. “I vividly remember Tyra Banks on the cover and women with curves. But, I still didn’t think I would have … I thought you had to be a professional model and a runway model.
