Jameela Jamil is calling out the Met Gala which this year was themed in honor of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld. In a scathing post on Instagram, the Bad Dates podcast host shared her thoughts on…
podcast host shared her thoughts on the “selective cancel culture” many of the attendees showcased by attending the event.
“Last night Hollywood and fashion said the quiet part out loud when a lot of famous feminists chose to celebrate at the highest level, a man who was so publicly cruel to women, to fat people, to immigrants and to sexual assault survivors,” Jamil wrote. “And all the women’s publications, and spectators online, chose to gleefully ignore it.”Jamil continued, “Suddenly your appetite to find someone’s tweets from when they were 12, has gone.
“This isn’t about cancel culture. It’s not even about Karl. It’s about showing how selective cancel culture is within liberal politics, in the most blatant way so far. It’s about showing why people don’t trust liberals. Because of slippery tactics and double standards like this,” she added. “And it’s not just Hollywood here, the general public online participated and were entirely complicit in the erasure of the truth last night. They replaced their pitchforks with spoons last night, to lap that shit right up… If we carry on like this, don’t be shocked when we lose the next election.”
