Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman has been suspended from his role as Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School, and removed as Psychiatrist-in-Chief at CUIMC/New York Presbyterian Hospital, effective immediately after a racist remark about South Sudanese model Nyakim Gatwech.
Not only did Lieberman spread false information claiming Gatwech being “in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the darkest skin ever seen on earth” with his quoted tweet. The Guinness World Records does not monitor skin tone. He said, “Whether a work of art or freak of nature, she’s a beautiful sight to behold.”
Social media pretty much tore Lieberman’s ass up for his tweet. He recently deleted his entire Twitter account and apologized for his racist comments towards Nyakim Gatwech.
