Good Place's Jameela Jamil Calls Out Karl Lagerfeld as a 'Ruthless, Fat-Phobic Misogynist'

The Good Place star Jameela Jamil is calling out Karl Lagerfeld after his death at the age of 85.

The 32-year-old actress posted an article on her Twitter account with the headline, “Stop Mourning Oppressors: Anti-Condolences For Karl Lagerfeld.”

Jameela tweeted, “I’m glad somebody said it. Even if it is a little soon. A ruthless, fat-phobic misogynist shouldn’t be posted all over the internet as a saint gone-too-soon. Talented for sure, but not the best person.”

A fan responded, “Appreciate the sentiment for sure but I thought we weren’t cancelling people? Also look at posts from RiRi etc saying how he helped lift them up – we definitely need to think about this in a balanced way,” so Jameela wrote back, “You can’t cancel someone who is dead. You can just say they shouldn’t be glorified if they’ve never changed or apologized.”

Jameela later added, “Gonna write an essay about this instead of trying to put my thoughts on this into a tweet. How problematic the industry has been for girls is too complex for this.”
