‘The Good Place’ actress criticizes ‘famous feminists’ for ‘happily celebrating’ Karl Lagerfeld

Jameela Jamil, an actress who participated in “The Good Place” and “She-Hulk” published a harsh post on Instagram in which she criticizes other actresses for attending the Met Ball 2023, on Monday (1st). This year’s edition honored the German designer Karl Lagerfeld, who took the Chanel brand from the brink of bankruptcy, but who was also involved in controversies throughout his career.

“Hollywood and fashion said the silent part aloud when many famous feminists chose to celebrate at the highest level a man who was so publicly cruel to women, fat people, immigrants and sexual assault survivors and all chose to blithely ignore him.” , it started.

Lagerfeld has already been accused of misogyny and fatphobia when criticizing women who oppose thinness. “They are fat mummies sitting with their bags of chips in front of the TV, saying skinny models are ugly.” He has also offended the Me Too movement, which has denounced harassment in Hollywood, by saying: “If you don’t want your pants pulled down, don’t become a model. Join a convent, there will always be room for you there.”

Jameela also spoke about cancel culture, and how the search for people’s past was not taken into account this time. “Everyone has suddenly decided that we can separate the art from the artist when it’s convenient. Last night we relinquished our right to be taken seriously about anything important.”

She reflected on how the lack of opposition to the event is a sign of selectivity within liberal politics. “It’s about showing why people don’t trust liberals. Because of slippery tactics and double standards like this. And it’s not just Hollywood, the general online public has participated and been fully complicit in the erasure of the truth.” And she warned: “If we carry on like this, don’t be shocked when we lose the next election.”
