The Good Place star and supermodel went at it on social media (via toofab)
The actress, who is a former model herself, praised the runway show, tweeting, "this looks like the most fun, and not a long-starved terrified teenager in sight. Beautiful." Sampaio went off on Jamil, calling her out for her criticism.
Jamil, who never seems to shy away from an argument, told Sampaio to "calm down." Although she clarified she wasn't referring to "all models" in her tweet, Jamil then claimed the "vast majority" of "young girls" in the industry are "starving themselves, and using drugs and cocaine to control their weight, to meet the very small sample sizes."
"You didn't say all models, sure, but you still chose to attack girls just so you can celebrate others," Sampaio wrote. "Eating disorders, drugs and cocaine use aren't a exclusive problem of models, it's a huge problem is society as a whole." Jamil explained how she was a model and model agent in the past and criticized Sampaio for defending the "unrealistic standards" of the modeling industry, which Jamil called "highly toxic."
