Jameela Jamil hits out at ‘hard to watch’ trend: ‘I would rather leave this industry’ Actor and activist reflected on her own struggles as she shared an impassioned statement to Instagram.
In a candid post to her 3.8 million Instagram followers on Boxing Day (26 December), Jamil said she had observed a number of people in her industry taking Ozempic to lose weight despite, she believed, not really needing it.
In the second photo, the Good Place star appeared relaxed and happy as she posed in a swimsuit – in recovery from her eating disorder – while a third slide showed a video of her eating what appeared to be a slice of pizza while dancing in the sea.
“The amount of people in my industry just taking [Ozempic] to go from slim to super skinny, to finally achieve the obedient waif physique to fit the obedient sample sizes… has been hard to watch,” she wrote.
Jamil shared a photo of herself at “the height” of her anorexia struggles in which she said she had been pretending to eat a chocolate, “pretending to be happy” and “pretending not to be on the verge of fainting”.
