Jameela Jamil claps back at Piers Morgan

Between the people questioning Jameela Jamil’s sexuality and her health claims recently, The Good Place star has had a lot on her plate. Like, a lot. So what she probably didn’t need was Piers Morgan taking aim at her by sharing a private conversation he had about the actress with recently deceased former Love Island host Caroline Flack. Yet it’s another day that ends in “y” in Jamil’s hellish month, so here we are.On February 23, Morgan decided to start some beef with Jamil when he took to Twitter and shared a screenshot of a private conversation he had with Flack in which she wrote, “I’m struggling with Jameela. The hate she aims at me.”“Jameela Jamil is having a lot to say about online harassment, so in the interests of balance, here is a message Caroline Flack sent me last October after the same Jameela Jamil led an online pile-on against her regarding a new TV show she was doing,” Morgan shared.

Flack was going to host, but then the series was shelved after Flack faced assault charges for supposedly hitting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, with a lamp. The charges also resulted in Flack losing her hosting gig on Love Island. She was due to appear in court again in March, but in February the 40-year-old died by suicide.Jamil wasn’t having any of Morgan’s comments, or resurrected conversations from a dead person though, so she took to social media to write her own defense, yet again. “I simply said I found the show ‘surjury’ (not her) problematic for kids to watch. And that love island needed some more diversity. Both times Caroline instigated debate with ME even though I was not targeting or blaming her at all. I always just politely explained my point,” she wrote.

“Piers Using a dead woman who I was friends with, as a weapon to try to create further harassment for me as I’ve JUST explained publicly that last week I felt suicidal... is why he is this industry’s most problematic . My criticizing a *show* did not aim any hate at Caroline..” she added in the thread.“Out of respect for Caroline, I will not allow this conversation to carry on in which she can’t respond or speak for herself. She would be disgusted her personal messages were shared and weaponized against a woman, by a bullying parasite she thought was her friend,” Jamil continued. “I’m out. To sell your dead friends private messages for clicks is a low I’ve never imagined anyone capable of.”

Jamil has a lot to focus on to be sure. With The Good Place successfully wrapped (fans actually liked the ending, guys!) and a new gig on HBO’s upcoming voguing and design reality series Legendary, Jamil was probably expecting a more chill start to her 2020. At this rate, fans shouldn’t be surprised if she becomes one of the many celebs taking a social media break to regroup.For his part Morgan hasn’t shot back directly, but he’s definitely still engaging the conversation on his own Twitter page, as the British host has a history of doing. Like the guy or not, he’s kind of the OG celebrity troll, given his comments about Meghan Markle, Ariana Grande, Daniel Craig, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Susan Sarandon and… well, you get the idea. If someone is in the news, it kind of seems like Morgan wants to inject himself into the conversation in some way, like the wallflower he is not.“If you genuinely believe Jameela Jamil is in 'mental distress', perhaps you should tell her to get off social media where she continues to spew disingenuous abuse about people - including me - to over 1m followers,” Morgan wrote. “The abuse I'm currently getting from her followers is disgusting.”Well then… Anyone want to take bets on who Morgan targets next?[video_embed id='1905635']BEFORE YOU GO: The best bits of Bieber's 'Late Late Show' takeover[/video_embed]
