Nicole Arbour Rejects Septimius Award Due to Concerns Over Producer's Past Projects
After being awarded "Best Content Creator" at the prestigious Septimius Awards in Amsterdam, Nicole Arbour has made the decision to decline the honor. This follows her discovery of concerns surrounding the show's producer and his previous work. The 2024 Septimius Awards, held on August 20, showcased prominent figures such as Cuba Gooding Jr., with clips from Arbour's music video "This Is It" featured during the event. However, upon learning that the event's founder, Jan-Willem Breure, was involved in the creation of a controversial documentary titled "Are All Men Pedophiles?", Arbour chose to reject the award to take a stand against child exploitation.Known for her viral comedy, music, and social media influence, Arbour has long supported organizations fighting human trafficking, such as Operation Lightshine and the Sentinel Foundation. Her decision to decline the award underscores her commitment to advocating for the protection of children and opposing exploitation.
After conducting her own investigation into Breure's film history, Arbour found the content of the documentary deeply troubling, leading her to withdraw her acceptance of the award. In her podcast, The Arbour Affect, she explained her decision to her 5 million followers, urging others to consider the ethics behind the events and organizations they engage with. The episode went viral, receiving over 1 million downloads and views within the first 24 hours.
Many of Arbour's supporters have praised her choice, while Breure has yet to comment publicly. In response to her decision, the Septimius Awards re-filmed the award presentation, presenting the trophy in her category to the Indian sketch comedy group Sevengers.
Licensed mental health counselor J.C. Schildbach, MA, LMHC, ASOTP, has weighed in on the concerns surrounding the film, stressing the need for sensitive topics to be handled responsibly.
Arbour hopes that her stance will inspire others to evaluate the values of the organizations they support and encourages donations to combat child exploitation through the Sentinel Foundation: https://foundationsentinel.kindful.com/campaigns/1184598.
