Jameela Jamil comes out as “queer”

Oh, come on! She's unbearable.

Is she doing this because her show ended and she needs attention?

Who?

She got yelled at by Twitter yesterday for being picked as the host of some ballroom competition show. She got dragged for not being queer and appropriating queer culture

Good lord she’s exhausting.

In all seriousness, I've noticed an increase in people who have exclusively opposite-sex relationships making homophobic comments, and then - when they get called out on it - saying, "I can't be homophobic, I'm part of the queer community."

Honey you’re not a lesbian until you EAT pussy

Yet another straight woman claiming to be something she’s not for social media clout.

This is especially enjoyable because she loves to stoke Twitter outrage mobs, but this time they were after her.

Well with a name like that I'm surprised it wasn't sooner.

I'm a non-binary gender-femme non-lesbian queer.

This isn't that hard to understand.

She is hot but is an extreme case of woke morality grandstanding. I'd do her but wouldn't let her spend the night.

Queer = I once close-mouth kissed a girl in college.

A famous, beautiful woman outs herself as queer and the world yawns.

Wake me when Chris Evans announces that he’s queer. Or Justin Beiber. Etc. I want to be awake to watch the world explode.

Get her, Twitter.

I loved “The Good Place”, but this bitch is so self-centered and clueless that it made watching the last season painful.

Hopefully now that the series is over, we will never have to hear from this obnoxious CUNT ever again.

What the hell does queer mean? I hate that word anyway. It’s cruel and harmful.

Is she gay or straight? And please don’t say that she doesn’t like labels. That nonsense is bullshit.

Fucking hilarious r10 and unfortunately probably true.

It’s a queerdom Starbucks menu nowadays.

For some reason I can't explain when someone calls themselves queer I think they are saying they are bi. Maybe that's because I am bi and feel uncomfortable using THAT term to describe myself because of the lack of love for bi's in the gay community.

OTOH any guy or girl in a straight relationship that calls themselves queer, like Jameela, what else am I supposed to think they are saying?

[quote]What the hell does queer mean? I hate that word anyway. It’s cruel and harmful.

Me too. But straight kids on Tumblr like to describe themselves as such these days. It seems like very few actual gays call themselves “queer,” but we’re supposed to be OK with it.

In Jameela’s case, I’m sure she hopes people will think she’s bisexual, even though she’s been dating a man for the past five years. The reality is probably as R12 theorized.

Unbearable slut! x

Of course she does

[quote]OTOH any guy or girl in a straight relationship that calls themselves queer, like Jameela, what else am I supposed to think they are saying?

Queer is what bisexual people say when they don't want to say bisexual.

Evan Rachel Wood, Janelle Monae and Ezra Miller all identify with "queer."

They say the only difference between "queer" and "bisexual" is that they're attracted to the "person" and not the gender.

Of course then the question becomes, "Does it matter if you're dating someone of the opposite sex?" Personally I find it less obnoxious than pansexual.

She was my least favorite cast member of The Good Place. I hope the rest of the cast gets new shows and movies lined up soon.

Does this mean James Blake is fucking a Jameela because she identifies as man now? Or is she a lezzie? Or does James identify as woman now?

So confusing. It’s like words have no meaning.

Jameela Jamil?? Are you sure are you sure??

R8

She's stoked them, and she's also been the target of them over and over again. It's part of the cycle for the twits on Twitter.

Queer? Spare me. And then if you asked anyone who “identifies” as such, you get a gobbledygook response about non-binary, pansexual, I don’t like labels, I just like the person not the gender bullshit.

I don’t believe it for a minute. These are people want to continue life in the closet and not admit, “I’m gay.”

Wearing ugly bangs doesn't make you queer.

This has really brought out all the people who are way up their own asses.

⚡ Now there's a Bolt Outta The Blue!

QUE ?

I won’t believe it until she provides video evidence of actual rug munching. Like real lesbians do.

Horton hears a whoooo?

She's always pinged to me and there were rumors when she was hired and no one knew who she was that she'd been in a relationship with a woman and was hiding it. That's where some of the hate originated from, I'm pretty sure.

She is completely incompetent when it comes to social media and needs to learn to think before speaking, obviously. She is what my mother used to call high-strung. But this incident with the ballroom drag show wasn't her fault -- no one with any sense could hold Jameela Jamil responsible for HBO's publicity department. Does she even know what a press release is?

Being ‘queer’ has nothing to do with genderbending or sexuality, it’s all about attitude - the attitude of being insufferable.

Good for her.

I will add her to my list of celebrities that I need to ignore. Fucking "queers".

Her Wikipedia bio might as well read 'professional attention seeking faux-victim drama queen'

• born with congenital hearing loss and labyrinthitis

• diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic disorder causing loose joints, joint pain, stretchy skin, and abnormal scar formation

• suffered from anorexia nervosa and did not eat a full meal between the ages of 14 and 17

• struck by a car while running from a bee, breaking several bones and damaging her spine...told that she might never walk again

• following a breast cancer scare (is that the new word for 'ambition'?), left London and moved to Los Angeles

• lost a tooth, smashed her nose, broke her elbow and got a concussion when she slipped and fell on her face while running around the set with Olly Murs

• had an abortion earlier in her life..."It was the best decision I have ever made"

• as part of World Mental Health Day, revealed she survived a suicide attempt six years prior

• partook in EMDR therapy to treat her post traumatic stress disorder

And now she's queer. Yay for our side?

R40, Ehlers-Danlos? LOL that tells me everything I need to know about her. (As if her “queer”ness didn’t).

SHE’S A SPOONIE!

I am shocked she doesn’t have purple hair.

Move over Nico & your lesbian wife!

Ugh. Jameela is dating James Blake, one of my favorite musicians. He’s quite in love with her. I hope he leaves her because of her announcement.

Jameela has scars on her body that you can see in selfies and on The Good Place so it's not like she's lying about that.

I've suspected for a while that she really did have a tough time growing up and it's affected her personality.

R40, I wonder whether any of that is true.

It's on Wikipedia R45, so it has to be!

Sounds to me like she just has a victim story inventory she uses for interviews and when they're all aggregated in one place it makes her quite ridiculous.

I don't believe she had a hard life; just the opposite.

Everything but the bloodhounds snapping at her rear end, R46.

SEND IN THE BLOODHOUNDS!!!!!!

This is why ‘queer’ is useless. Anyone can claim it when it’s convenient. She doesn’t say she is bisexual. That would be more of a commitment perhaps. She’s in a relationship with a man so obviously not a lesbian.

But when she is called out because she is a judge on a show entirely based on a part of gay culture she claims ‘queer’. Why wasn’t she more vocal from the start ? Because of trauma in her childhood ?

Like the trauma so many gay kids experienced that led them to find refuge in the Houses, the balls and the dance ? Incidentally, no one claimed ‘queer’ back then. Maybe they were being called it and being attacked for being it just too often to find the distance from the word that the passing years have now allowed others.

Fuck this posturing woke bullshit. Claiming ‘queer’ when it’s acceptable, even hip, isn’t anything to be proud of. Others did the work way before you.

R44 A couple of years back, I listened to a podcast interview she did and she talked about dealing with racist bullies as a kid. I felt bad for her on that front.

Her “struggles” don’t have anything to with gay men / lesbians / bisexuals r50

I wish you could have enlightened my last ex, R34.

Not going well for her if even the Guardian says you're faking it.

She’s youthfully pretty and skinny and femme-glam, with woken cred and without baggage like kids or a ‘real’ job - so she’ll get away with saying whatever she likes.

Honestly I didn’t think she ever did anything else besides host pointless telly programmes, so hearing that she’s acting in L.A. now is a surprise. Good for her, I guess.

I mostly remember her hosting T4 (2000s U.K. pop-culture show about teen music & TV) where she ran free with her own annoying, smirky, vapid, insecure dullard-hipster kind. That show was a good fit for her style of presenting. I suppose the least we can say for her old pal Nick Grimshaw is that he came out as gay (not ‘queer’) and did so before he hit 30. I don’t know as I can say much else about him, though.

From R53: “I think the reason Jameela Jamil has faced backlash is that her coming out feels inauthentic to people. It feels she was on the back foot, or reactionary, or the timing was off because it came just after she was criticised for being a judge on a voguing show, and because she’s made some ‘off’ or ignorant comments in the past.”

Or how about because she's very visibly in a HETEROSEXUAL relationship, and for all intents and purposes is treated in this society as a heterosexual, no matter what she calls herself or how she "identifies"? I've said it a million times, and I'll say it again: Oppression is not about how you see yourself, it's about how others see you. Straight people need to stop appropriating and profiting from the pain and struggles of gay men and lesbians.

I always confuse this exhaustive wannabe with that bitch who tried to make people think she was 15 years younger than her actual age when she was on the TRL reboot.

She is insufferable and I am happy to see this backlash. She's an annoying bully.

I wonder what her co-stars on “The Good Place” really thought of her. She seems insufferable.

Unless she’s actually dating a woman, she (and all the others that pull this shit) need to shut the fuck up.

"Sweetheart, that's all very nice, but if you're not going to eat pussy, you're not really a dyke."

I remember when she used to present on T4 and she was a dim idiot who had no talent, good to see she hasn't changed.

Most straight women think lesbian sex is two nymphets stroking each other’s hair in soft focus.

[quote]I wonder what her co-stars on “The Good Place” really thought of her. She seems insufferable.

I think they probably got irritated with her at times. But, The Good Place had short seasons and they were probably ok with only having to deal with her three months out of the year.

[quote]She is insufferable and I am happy to see this backlash. She's an annoying bully.

She reminds me of Sara Ramirez from Grey's Anatomy. Ramirez came out as bisexual after leaving her show and then became insufferable on social media and would pick fights with networks and other people regarding bisexuality. She went nuts when the now canned sitcom The Real O'Neals made a joke about bisexuals in an episode. Soon after that she threw a bitch fit about Dustin Lance Black not including more bisexual characters in that ABC miniseries When We Rise.

[quote]exhaustive wannabe

Oh dear.

She’s had a remarkable number of ailments for someone so young.

This woman is getting tiresome as fuck.

Remember Miley's insistence that she is QUEER, and how big a part of her identity it is to be QUEER, and then she married a hetero guy, while still insisting that she identifies as QUEER and that the relationship was complex and in alignment with her QUEERNESS. And then she immediately breaks up with the husband, and has a five minute fling with The Jenner chick before hooking up with that Cody kid.

And suddenly it's "Y'all, I thought I had to go lezbo, because ALL MEN are awful horrible asshole jerks. But now I found a new, dumb, young hunk to suck and fuck. And he kisses my ass and let's me be my freaky tacky self. And so, I am relieved to say, that I don't have to be a lesbian anymore."

r66 She reminds me of Lens Dunham with all her maladies.

With all those maladies and other things, I think she could have Munchaussen's.

She's Indian and calls herself "a brown female". It's weird how people now say "black AND brown people" when talking about *people of color*. The category keeps getting expanded to fit more and more people, as if these groups share similar experiences when the majority do not.

[quote] She reminds me of Lens Dunham with all her maladies.

On Instagram, the user “traciemorrisey” has an Insta story about how she’s decided a lot of celebrities have Munchausens and Lens is there! As is Jameela.

It’s on this account.

R66 Fuck that bitch. I was blind in one eye for years and many people didn't know

More receipts on Jameela.

She’s genuinely creeping me out now.

Her mother’s ailments

And this is the book by her brother:

[quote]Description This book is a memoir in which I've grappled with everything from mental illness to romantic frustration, from mysticism to homelessness. Thought is out of my mind's league, asides that which can come into being through my pen. I hope to have encapsulated something new with a stroke of something ancient. I cannot remember a time when I had the mental concentration to read without being suspended in an imprisoning haze, a dungeon's embrace. I would love to tell you in detail what my book is about, but I'm afraid I can't, as I haven't read it. " - Adnandus Dyzantae"

[quote]About the Author Adnandus Dyzantae is 31. He lives in Hampstead with his mother and sister. He has read only one book in his life and flicks through prefaces, due to an absence of concentration. He spent 8 years alone in the wilderness of mental illness before being diagnosed by a psychiatrist at 24. Adnandus hopes medication and CBT will help him in his quest to gain some degree of formal education so he can continue his passion for writing. Reading still produces feelings of negative absorption within him, causing acute psychological discomfort. Yet he's written prolifically (some 300 poems) since dropping out of school at 17. This is his first book in prose. Adnandus writes from brain to paper without returning to change a single word of his work...probably because it would involve reading! He also composes music and lyrics. None of his work has been publicly seen before.

She reminds me of Anne Flatch with all her maladies. Her difficulties included:

Facial amnesia i.e. an inability to recognize faces. In the first episode, Anne meets Josh and she tells him she has this as a way to explain why they meet for the first time several times. Ever the optimist, Anne sees the perks of her illness. In a confessional, she explains, “With my husband, it’s like sleeping with a different man every night.” She also overcompensates by being really good at identifying other body parts.

Spontaneous human combustion when her colleague spots smoke coming from Flatch’s arm, she confesses that she suffers from a localized strain of SHC that is activated when she drinks rum

Alice in Wonderland syndrome this syndrome manifests as an inability to properly perceive the size of things.

Nocturnal lagophthalmos this disorder allows the afflicted to sleep with their eyes wide open.

St.Vitus Dance a condition that causes Flatch to involuntarily raise her hand.

Jameela strikes back!

Her name translates to "beautifulgirl (Jameela) beautiful(jameel)". Sounds really odd.

Dumb cis ho

R21 I'm 37 and until recently I had never heard anyone use the word "queer" IRL. It seems so old-fashioned to me.

Holy fuck! Her real mom is just like her mom on The Good Place.

R77, that is really sad. I feel sorry for him and am more annoyed with Jameela than I was to begin with.

I have now become OBSESSED with the saga of Jameela Jamil’s grotesque shit tornado of lies and exaggerations. A hot trashy mess for the ages.

It all seems rather sad to me, especially the stuff with the mother and the brother.

Wow, how is she more flaky than the character she played on TGP?

R85 I am too. According to Wikipedia she has been hit by a car while "running from a bee," struggled with anorexia, suffers from PTSD, attempted suicide, had an abortion, and more!

You think she'd worry about getting bonded when she shoots a movie of TV show?

She sounds like a hypochondriac at the very least. And they are annoying as fuck, even if you console them 24/7.

Her wig sucks.

Jameela Jamil denies suffering from Munchausen’s Syndrome

Embattled “Good Place” actress Jameela Jamil has defended herself after a thread by writer Tracie Egan Morrissey on the latter’s Instagram Stories that accused Jamil of having Munchausen’s Syndrome went viral this week.

While a variant of Munchausen’s Syndrome, Munchausen by proxy, was at the center of Hulu’s “The Act” — the story of Dee Dee Blanchard and her daughter Gypsy Rose — Morrissey theorized that Jamil’s many stories about her personal health — and the alleged contradictions within those stories — are indicative of the “main” disorder, where an individual repeatedly and knowingly fakes mental or physical illnesses for attention. The thread was spreading across social media Tuesday, and Jamil evidently caught wind of it Wednesday, returning to Twitter to knock down the rumors.

Jamil went on a lengthy point-by-point clarification of Egan’s accusations, ultimately concluding, “Not afraid of you or your dumb internet conspiracy theories. Keep them coming. You just add to my relevance. I’m gonna keep helping people with eating disorders, and changing laws and global policies to protect kids and their mental health and there’s NOTHING you can do about it.”

Previously on the Jameela Jamil Twitter show, the actress, 33, came out as queer after receiving backlash over her involvement in the forthcoming HBO show “Legendary,” which focuses on drag and ballroom culture. After pinning part of the blame for the controversy on “mistakes” of the journalists involved, Jamil announced that “Twitter is brutal” and said she’d be taking a break from the platform.

Welcome back.

Fuck off Jameela, you smelly paki.

[Quote] the actress, 33

A likely story.

I think she needs to lay low for a while. It’s like she has totally immersed herself in the character she played and feels that she has to be a real-life, relatable do-gooder as well.

My favorite Jameela lie is the one where her front tooth broke off after a fall on set and she “reattached it with eyelash glue” and went on filming. The camera shows her grinning and talking normally.

And it’s still attached! That must be some amazing eyelash glue.

R91 How is she "helping" people?

I think we have a new DL icon!

She's providing DL with some laughs.

What a trainwreck. I knew she'd crash and burn eventually but I hoped it'd be something more entertaining because with her family history of mental illness I find these lies sad and pathetic rather than funny. Though that tooth story is hilarious.

I hope after this straight people stop thinking it's cool to use the word 'queer' to larp as one of us.

I'd like to see a miniseries, "Jameela Jamil and a Series pf Unfortunate Events". She could take Lucille Ball's place as DL's slapstick queen.

Keep this shit coming lol

Wow, that Twitter thread. She is clearly a pathological liar, but if even half the Twitter thread is true it sounds like she overcame some pretty horrendous abuse growing up. It’s no wonder she has mental health problems.

It’s complicated though because she clearly does have Ehlers Danlos, and I believe she had/has anorexia. And some of the claims made in the Twitter thread eg needing special qualifications to teach ESL are not true. I taught English in Italy when I was 19 and was hired sight unseen by a company that basically hires any native English speaker. One of my friends just returned from teaching English in China and it was the same deal. There are zillions of English schools that will hire any British person without qualifications, so that claim doesn’t hold water. (Jamil may or may not have taught, I don’t know, but it’s BS to say she can’t have.)

All Indian women are insufferable.

The boyfriend comes forward 🙄

Not sure I actually believe her

Who is the boyfriend? He’s not the James Blake who sang “You’re Beautiful,” right? That guy’s on Twitter and is actually pretty funny.

That was James Blunt, dear.

I hope the actual boyfriend has a sense of humor. He's going to need it when they split and her tall tales about their relationship start rolling out:

"He made me sleep hanging from the shower rod like a bat! That's how I died three times of COVID-19!!"

James Blake is a fucking brilliant musician who, unfortunately, had gotten wrapped up with this lying vagina bearer. I saw him live last April, and he was amazing.

Oh James....you could do much better than Munchausen Jamila.

I only know James Blake because Shawn Pyfrom made a fangirl post to him on social media and someone linked to it on a Colton thread.

[quote]That was James Blunt, dear.

Oh dear. Senility sets in! Thank you for clearing that up.

She has Munchausen, he has Stockholm.

You're not the only one, R112/R116.

[quote]Mercury Prize host Lauren Laverne accidentally introduced nominated artist James Blake as “James Blunt” at the awards ceremony at London’s Roundhouse tonight (October 30). The evening’s host mistakenly called out the name of the ‘You’re Beautiful’ singer to the amusement of the crowd as electronica artist Blake – whose second album ‘Overgrown’ eventually won this year’s gong – took to the stage to perform the song ‘Retrograde’.

James Blake is magnificent and it is sad to see him caught up in this.

Though it is funny that he didn’t address her newly-evolved sexuality in his statement. He also probably thinks it’s rubbish.

[Quote] It all circles back to Colton Haynes.

Maybe he will end up working with Jameela in the near future.

"Jameela Jamil" -annoying name, like Chris Christie.

In three years she'll be Perfume Girl #2 in Marks & Spencer.

She has taken time out from explaining, finger-wagging, wig fittings, begging for sympathy, and explaining some more to battle it out — cunt v. cunt — with Piers Morgan over Caroline Flack. Or more precisely, over a text CF sent to PM about JJ, which he has now seen fit to make public.

Piers screamed:

[quote] 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.

Jameela shrieked:

[quote]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.

[quote]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.

Caroline could not be reached for comment.

Jameela has t politely explained anything in her life.

Can’t wait for her to limp back to the UK like her evil twin Piers.

I loathe Piers, but he produced the receipts on this one. It fits, too.

Jameela has 'smug mean girl' written all over her woke smirk.

[quote] to create further harassment for me as I’ve JUST explained publicly that last week I felt suicidal...

She really is a piece of work. Get her on the next season of Celebrity Big Brother now!

"I feel suicidal" is the hot new silencing tactic on social media.

who the hell is she?

Where is she on the hot-crazy matrix?

The "that's a dude" block in the image at R129 has been incorrectly placed in the area opposite to where it should be.

Jesus, the sheer cringe of her entire approach to life is palpable.

Can't stand this smug, insufferable cunt. The queen of the Oppression Olympics. Ugh.

Attention!

Jameela Jamil would like to remind you that two years ago today she singlehandedly created movements which had already been around for 40+ years.

[quote]2 years ago today I posted a tweet about how we measure women’s worth on weighing scales. I also wrote this essay at the time. I had no idea that it would go on to create such a huge and beautiful ongoing movement against body/mental health/lgbtq shame.

Is this performance art like Joaquin’s “I’m Still Here” period? She’s more self centered than the character she played on The Good Place!

I haven't followed her... movement. Is she just throwing that "lgbtq" thing in at the end, or had she long been an advocate?

Has she tested positive for Coronavirus yet? I imagine she or Rose McGowan will be first out the celebrity gates.

Bitch stole my hustle!

R128 She's a character on The Good Place, with Ted Fandom and Kristin Bell.

Here's a scene with her and Ted Danson.

Here's the best of Tahani. I really like The Good Place 😊

Jameela change the focus of the conversation
