When the actress/activist is talking, we are all listening.
Jameela Jamil is here to “to unmask all the villains.” Despite being called every name in the book, Jamil is the voice of a generation. The 33-year-old is on a mission, and her end game is real equality.
Women’s bodies have always been used as a spectacle and objectified.
Before The Good Place and Hollywood, Jamil was famous in her native Britain. She worked as a model, DJ, radio, and TV presenter. Her activism started way before moving to Los Angeles, but her newfound fame only made her braver and stronger. To understand where she’s coming from, you need to know a bit about her beginnings.
The concept of plus-size is so derogatory and weird. What does that mean? Plus the normal size? It shouldn’t exist anymore.
As a child, Jameela Jamil was shy and not in the best health, but she started modeling, and things changed. However, she developed an eating disorder, followed by a car accident. As a TV presenter, the press did their best to make a young woman’s life a nightmare. Sexual and racial assaults shaped her into a warrior, a fighter. She doesn’t care what it might do to her career simply because she doesn’t want to “become a double agent for the patriarchy, which has always been my greatest fear.”
Kim Kardashian was the first time I’ve seen a woman tormented about her weight gain while having a baby. But at least she asks for that attention by voluntarily obsessing over her weight publicly on her social media. But now nobody is safe.
A self-described feminist-in-progress isn’t going after female celebrities to start a fight. Jamil’s goal is for people to take action. She is an extremely vocal critic of celebrity culture because not many are ready to risk their careers for the greater good. The Good Place star is involved in #MeToo,#TimesUp and pro-abortion movements, and her next issue is climate change. Jameela Jamil is not fighting women, famous or not, but standing up to outdated rules, traditions, and everything she considers to be wrong in modern society.
If you have time to get your pet rabbit its own Instagram account, you have time to at least tweet about something important.
As an activist, Jamil started an Instagram account called I Weigh on which women post images of themselves and say how much they ‘weigh‘ online. Something like “Good friend,” “Bad singer,” “Loving sister,” and so on. Alongside Lupita Nyong’ o and Solange Knowles, she’s part of 30-something women who refuse to have their photos retouched.
It’s clear that Jamil doesn’t want to be loved; she demands respect. Her opinions are causing controversy, but at least people are talking. Even more than that, they are thinking.
