Best believe if you’re trying to sell “skinny tea” by promoting it on your Instagram, Jameela Jamil will have a few choice words to say to you.
Jameela has been coming for the Kardashians and Jenners, among other celebrities, for months — calling them out for promoting diet culture and poorly influencing the young female fans who look up to them.

Jameela is most recognized for her role in the TV series “The Good Place”, but she’s far more than just an actress.
She’s become an increasingly popular women’s advocate, known for calling celebs out on Instagram and Twitter when she feels their behavior is harmful to young girls.
The Kardashians are a prime example of this.
Time and time again, the Kardashians have promoted weight loss products on their social media profiles as a way to generate passive income (as if they need any more money).
Whether it be hair gummy vitamins, detox teas, or appetite suppressant lollipops — they’re always trying to pedal some kind of product via Instagram.
Even Kris Jenner is guilty of it.
We all know that Kris Jenner is one hell of a businesswoman — she’s made her family what it is.
And here she is, continuing to work her branding magic.
Kim Kardashian tried to advertise appetite suppressant lollipops on Instagram once, and people were pissed.
More specifically, Jameela.
But nothing gets past her. She made sure to call Kim out, with no time to spare.
“MAYBE don’t take appetite suppressors and eat enough to fuel your BRAIN and work hard and be successful,” Jameela Tweeted regarding Kim’s advertisement.
“And to play with your kids. And to have fun with your friends. And to have something to say about your life at the end, other than ‘I had a flat stomach,” she added .
Jameela took to Twitter, calling Kim a terrible, toxic influence on young girls.
To soften the blow, she mentions that she admires Kris Jenner’s branding capabilities and thinks she is an innovative genius.
But regardless, she said their family makes her feel “actual despair over what women are reduced to.”
Many fans agreed, pointing out that almost the entirety of Kim’s following are young impressionable girls that probably don’t need to be told they need to lose weight.
This fan wrote that she believes we all deserve so much better.
In January, Khloé posted this quote in her Instagram story that listed the two things all girls want.
And while she probably didn’t think much of it, Jameela stumbled upon it and thought it was “sad” — so she screenshot it and proceeded to rant about it in a tweet.
Jameela re-shared the quote in a tweet, explaining that girls should want a lot more than to be able to be skinny but still eat whatever they want.
She added that she is sending “love to this poor woman [Khloé]” and claims that the industry and media made her this way.
Most recently, Jameela called out Khloé for promoting meal replacement shakes on Instagram.
Khloé credited Flat Tummy Co. for her figure snapping back so quickly after having her daughter, True.
Little did she know, Jameela was about to drag TF out of her in an Instagram comment for it.
She was not messing around.
Jameela wrote Khloé a lengthy comment under her photo that would go on to be seen by thousands of people.
Khloé eventually deleted the photo entirely.
This wasn’t the first time Jameela has come for Khloe.
Jameela tweeted four photos of celebs (one of them being Khloé) promoting diet products and called them out for being misleading.
“Give us the discount codes to your nutritionists, personal chefs, personal trainers, airbrushers and plastic surgeons you bloody liars,” she wrote.
In the past, none of the Kardashians or Jenners have retaliated or spoke out publicly about Jameela’s comments.
But all of that has just changed after an interview Kim and Khloé did this past weekend with The New York Times .
Both Khloé and Kim seem completely unapologetic.
“I don’t live in that negative energy space. Ninety percent of people will be really excited about the family and the journey and who we are,” Khloé said when asked about Jameela’s comments.
“Well, listen, I am showing you what to do, silly person, 15 repetitions, three times, here’s the move,” she added in regards to her workout videos on Snapchat.
Kim chimed in next, saying that she will never pass up a money making opportunity to help support her children.
“If there is work that is really easy that doesn’t take away from our kids, that’s like a huge priority, if someone was faced with the same job opportunities, I think they would maybe consider. You’re going to get backlash for almost everything so as long as you like it or believe in it or it’s worth it financially, whatever your decision may be, as long as you’re O.K. with that,” Kim said
If you were in the same position, would you be promoting these products?
Keeping in mind that you could make hundreds of thousands of dollars, of course.
Let us know what you’d do!
