Can you really call yourself a feminist when you don't like women? Make it make sense.
Jameela Jamil has totally thrown the "women-supporting-women" ideology down her water closet and flushed it really hard when she announced that she was done with being interviewed by women. The actress-turned-activist-turned-podcast-host basically told women reporters: “It’s not me, it’s definitely you.” She accused them of writing her up like a “cheap, bitchy Daily Mail blog,” and honestly, if that’s not the media version of “I don’t hang out with girls because they’re too much drama,” we don’t know what is.
What triggered this dramatic mic drop? A recent Sunday Times profile written by journalist Liz Edwards, a piece Jamil claims was dripping in shade, pettiness, and bad faith. Jameela said it read like it was “written by a student desperate to get clicks,” and yes, she typed that with her whole chest.
For someone who built her brand on being unfiltered and body-positive, Jamil is very filtered about who’s allowed to hold the mic. According to her, in 17 years of doing press, only three women have ever interviewed her “fairly.” The rest? Apparently they rolled up with “an angle” already in mind — and spoiler alert: it wasn’t “Uplift Jameela Jamil.”
She insists these women aren’t interested in her “actual thoughts and ideas” (you know, the deep stuff), but instead just want to nitpick her character and make her explain why someone with privilege dares to have opinions. In short, she feels like she’s on trial for simply trying to be a feminist with a platform. And in a twist that had the internet audibly gasping, Jamil actually said she’s had better experiences being interviewed by male journalists. Yep. She wrote, and we quote,“Male journalists have always given me a fair shot.” Go ahead and clutch those pearls.
The irony? While dragging journalists for being petty and click-hungry, her explanation of how she interviews people was dripping with self-congratulatory vibes. She basically said: “When I do interviews, I guide the conversation toward healing and growth. I don’t try to make people look insufferable.”
So what’s the takeaway from this diva-level declaration? If you're a woman in journalism hoping to ask Jameela about her next project, you might want to send in your male colleague instead, or better yet, maybe just forward her your podcast link and pray.
Until then, Jameela’s press pass for “sisterhood” might be on temporary suspension. And yes, we’re all still refreshing Substack to see what she claps back with next.
