If we listened to every single celebrity endorsement, we’d be doing, eating, wearing and buying all manner of bizarre trendy things that make literally no sense.

We’d probably be drinking water filtered through crystals at this very second if we listened to Miranda Kerr, and we’d be buying our friends things like this Goop exclusive stone diffuser (¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) if we followed Gwyneth Paltrow’s Christmas gift guide that is so ridiculously extra it’s making us weep.

According to feminist queen and voice of the people Jameela Jamil, we’d also be shitting ourselves in public if the likes of Kim Kardashian, Cardi B and Iggy Azalea’s diet tips were taken as gospel.

And look, we don’t thinkanybodywants that.

In fact, in a series of impassioned tweets, the activist said she hopes they themselves are prone to a public poo disasters, which would actually be…kinda hilarious (though there’d be no way we’d ever find out about them – can you imagine Kim K admitting to crapping her dacks in public? Kris Jenner woulddie.)

Never afraid to speak her mind and call-out fellow celebrities for sending anti-body positive messages,The Good Placeactress Jameela Jamil earlier this week took aim at celebrities who recommend “detox teas” for dieting, which can often have negative side effects according to medical experts:

They got Cardi B on the laxative nonsense “detox” tea. GOD I hope all these celebrities all shit their pants in public, the way the poor women who buy this nonsense upon their recommendation do. Not that they actually take this shit. They just flog it because they need MORE MONEY pic.twitter.com/OhmTjjWVOp

While the hilarious tweet certainly drove her point home, triggering a flood of supportive responses, she didn’t stop there, urging fans; “generally don’t ever take diet advice from women who know nothing about nutrition”:

If you want to “curb your appetite” eat some damn green vegetables or have some nutritious natural vegetable soup. Don’t drink these “detox” teas. You need fiber! Not something that honestly just makes you have diarrhea the day you take it and constipates you in the long run…

It not the first time Jamil, who runs the Instagram account “I Weigh”, which promotes healthy body image, has singled celebrities out for the same reasons either. Earlier this year she aimed a fiery tweet at Kim Kardashian for promoting “appetite suppressant lollipops”:

No. Fuck off. No. You 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. ☹️ pic.twitter.com/zDPN1T8sBM

And yesterday, she referred to Iggy Azalea as a “double agent for the patriarchy” after she plugged meal replacement shakes by the same company as Kim K’s “lollipops”, Flat Tummy Co:

Another double agent for the patriarchy bites the dust… When will these women who are covered in plastic surgery stop telling their followers to drink a laxative to look like them? It’s so embarrassing and it’s so encouraging of eating dirsordered behavior. BE BETTER ALLIES! https://t.co/9hjcapRdwL

While Cardi B responded to Jameela’s initial tweet lightheartedly, claiming she would ‘never sh*t her pants because there are public bathrooms everywhere’ Jameela continued, pointing out that during her initial video posted to Instagram, she appeared to have ‘never seen the product before’.

Regarding her response: she will never shit her pants, not because of bushes, but because she probably doesn’t ever take the products she promotes… during her promotional video she keeps looking at the name of the product on the cup… almost as if she’s never seen it… ???? https://t.co/um2u8zIDng

Yesterday, she rounded out the series of tweets by revealing her own personal experiences with body image; explaining that “miracle cures and laxatives” left her with “digestion and metabolism problems for life”.

She ended her thread with a powerful promise vowing never to stop calling out the people “who perpetuate this gross culture of forcing women to remain small and doll-like”.

I am not going to stop coming after all the people, men and women, who perpetuate this gross culture of forcing women to remain small and doll-like in order to be accepted by society. Fucking TRY ME. ????????????????????

The star’s message in its entirety proves once and for all that Jameela is truly deserving of theGood Place.(That’s heaven – in case you don’t watch the show.)

…And if we see Cardi B, Kim K and Iggy Azalea plugging adult diapers on their social media accounts someday soon, we’ll know why.
