The university said in a statement that Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman was removed from his position as psychiatrist-in-chief at New York Presbyterian Hospital effective immediately. The punishment came after Lieberman said in a tweet about model Nyakim Gatwech that"whether a work of art or a freak of nature, she's a beautiful sight to behold."In an interview Wednesday night, Gatwech said"Coming from somebody with so much power, that was so disappointing.
"An apology from me to the Black community, to women, and to all of you is not enough," the email read."I've hurt many, and I am beginning to understand the work ahead to make needed personal changes and over time regain your trust." Lieberman was responding to a post that called Gatwech"the most beautiful among the black beauties" and made the wildly false claim that she was in the Guinness Book of World Records for"having the darkest skin ever seen."
She is so beautiful
