Yumi Nu responds to Jordan Peterson over Sports Illustrated cover

TikTokers quickly showered the cover star in applause.

“You did win cuz Jordan b. Peterson is leaving Twitter (hopefully) after he got blasted on the thread,” someone wrote, noting that Peterson said he’s quitting the platform.

“Single handedly got Jordan Peterson off Twitter. & looked AMAZING while doing it. Queeeen,” said another.

Despite catching some heat from Twitter users, Peterson hit back at their critiques of his statement, saying, “It’s a conscious progressive attempt to manipulate & retool the notion of beauty, reliant on the idiot philosophy that such preferences are learned & properly changed by those who know better.”

While some people threw shade at Petersons’ own appearance, others argued that Nu does fit beauty standards.

“Dude, she’s hot,” replied another Twitter user.

In an earlier interview with The Post, Nu said it’s “amazing” to be featured on magazine covers.

“I’m on cloud nine,” she said. “This is nothing I could prepare for. It’s unexpected. I feel like we’re in a place right now where people are making space for more diversity on magazine covers. It’s a big time for Asian-American people in media. I know I play a big role in representation in body diversity and race diversity, and I love to be a role model and representative of the plus-size Asian community.”

While the SI cover is her latest feat, Nu, who grew up in New Jersey, Maryland and California, has also graced Vogue’s September issue as a cover model. She also appeared on the front of Vogue Japan, snagging the groundbreaking title of first Asian curve cover-model for the mag.
