The star ofThe Good Place, 32, opened up onChannel 4’sWays to Change the Worldpodcastabout those she deems problematic women — and she was not afraid to name names.
“I have had words with the Kardashians, and I think when someone is doing something that is toxic and damaging… we should all be allowed to say something about that,” said Jamil.
When pressed to explain further, Jamil said, “The double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world, is still benefiting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women.”
She continued, “You are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good. You’re selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with aging, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. You’re selling us self-consciousness, the same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia you are now pouring back into the world. You’re recycling hatred.”
Jamil has made her views clear in the past. In May, afterKim Kardashian WestadvertisedFlat Tummy’s appetite-suppressing lollipopson Instagram, Jamiltweeted, “No. F— off. No. [You’re a] terrible and toxic influence on young girls. I admire their mother’s branding capabilities, she is an exploitative but innovative genius, however this family makes me feel actual despair over what women are reduced to.”
A few months earlier, Jamilreacted after seeing a meme that labeled the Kardashians’ weights. She shared her metaphorical weight and encouraged her followers to do the same.

Jamil practices what she preaches: In June, shesaid on Instagramthat she asked to skip photoshopping when she graced the cover ofVera, Virgin Airline’s in-house magazine.
She commented, “They also agreed to not airbrush me in any way, which I really appreciated as I find photoshop to be one of the worst things to happen to women.”
Kardashian West has previously responded tocriticismabout her impact. In 2016, shewrote on her website and app, “I don’t do drugs, I hardly drink, I’ve never committed a crime — and yet I’m a bad role model for being proud of my body?”
She said, “It always seems to come back around to my sex tape. Yes, a sex tape that was made 13 years ago. 13 YEARS AGO. Literally that lonnng ago. And people still want to talk about it?!?!”
