A controversial psychologist and best-selling author has sparked outrage after declaring a Sports Illustrated model \"not beautiful\".<\/p>\n
Dr Jordan Peterson, 59, took to Twitter to shame plus-size model and musician Yumi Nu after she appeared on the magazine cover.<\/p>\n
\"Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that,\" he wrote to his 2.7 million followers.<\/p>\n
The divisive figure's tweet sparked furious backlash.<\/p>\n
\"Sheesh. Big fan here. I find my girlfriend with a body type like this quite beautiful. Dial it back a bit homie,\" one man wrote.<\/p>\n
\"Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that,\" wrote another alongside a photo of Peterson.<\/p>\n
\"Why do men feel it's their duty to publicly pronounce their view on the attractiveness of women? Couldn't you just keep it to yourself?,\" added another woman.<\/p>\n
The model featured on the cover did not seem fussed about the comments made by Peterson - who has made a name for himself by railing against everything from feminism to social justice warriors.<\/p>\n
\"Hoes mad [nail painting emoji] [calm smile emoji],\" she wrote in a quote-retweet of Peterson's original tweet.<\/p>\n
Peterson has a chequered history in both his private and public life, having developed a dependency on prescription medication and being admitted to rehab following his wife's cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n
He was thrust into the mainstream after a video of him arguing with students and refusing to refer to them as their chosen gender pronouns went viral online.<\/p>\n
He leveraged his newfound fame by injecting himself into the Canadian debate over transgender rights.<\/p>\n
His 2018 self-help book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos - which encouraged readers to stand up straight, not bother children skateboarding and avoid petting stray cats - sold more than three million copies worldwide.<\/p>\n
Dr Peterson has repeatedly been criticised for his old-fashioned views on women and accused of spreading misinformation.<\/p>\n
He drew outrage after appearing to endorse government-forced monogamy, going as far to say it may have helped Canadian man Alek Minassian who killed 11 people in Toronto.<\/p>\n
Minassian declared himself to be part of a misogynist group whose members call themselves incels - a term short for \"involuntary celibates.\"<\/p>\n
\"He was angry at God because women were rejecting him,\" Peterson said. \"The cure for that is enforced monogamy. That's actually why monogamy emerges.\"<\/p>\n
The academic also spouts the benefits of the carnivore diet a method of only eating meat that was suggested to him by his daughter when he was unwell.<\/p>\n
His daughter has no qualifications in regards to nutrition or dietetics but the family claim it helped Peterson recover from benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome.<\/p>\n
Peterson also pushed against Covid-19 vaccines and restrictions in Canada, in one instance claiming the Canadian PM would have to kill him before getting a booster.<\/p>\n
