Jameela Jamil doesn't care what haters have to say about her curves; she likes them just fine, thank you very much. The star of The Good Place took to Twitter on Thursday to recount a story about a man body-shaming her at the gym, and she had the best response to the whole unfortunate situation.
“He decided to tell me, without prompt, that he’s seen me around and he always thinks, ‘Ah, what a shame, she could look so amazing’ and there’s so many different things I could do to improve my body,” she shared in a video. “So, essentially, he walked up to me and body-shamed me in the middle of the gym."
A word of advice courtesy of Jamil? “Don’t do that. Don’t walk up to someone and impose your belief of what you think they should look like onto them. Don’t do that to women, don’t do that to men, don’t do that to anyone, ever.”
The actress doesn't typically let comments like this bother her, and says she enjoys her body. Further, she continued, "I’m also, by the way, a U.S. size 6 to 8, so if that’s how I’m being spoken to in a gym, you can imagine what people say to people who are larger than that.”
