Jameela Jamil cited "privilege" as one of the reasons
Jameela Jamil gave three reasons why her skin is "clear." She mentioned that she exfoliates twice a week and that "trans rights are human rights." But, before stating these things, she first reasoned out that privilege plays a major role in this.
She explained that people of privilege "have more access to good quality nutrition." She further expanded her response and shared how their lives, including hers, are "significantly less stressful" than those with less privilege.
The celebrity continued that she gets to sleep more because of this. These factors keep her hormones in balance, she added. As a result, she has clear skin.
Netizens found her response "annoying"
A Twitter user posted a screenshot of Jameela Jamil's response. The netizen captioned it with "could she be more annoying."

Several individuals then chimed in and agreed to the netizen's assertions. Many of them conceded that the actress "poorly executed" an attempt to "humblebrag."
The post has gained a huge audience, which further expanded the controversy. It even reached Jamil causing her to defend herself on the platform.
She "clapped back" to the criticisms
Jameela Jamil "retweeted" the original post. Privilege "exists in many forms," the actress explained. She added that this might be in the form of "wealth, physical ability, race, beauty," and even size.
To call out privilege is what destabilizes the frenzy of self hatred in our youth/whole population. It's also the pivotal first step to dismantling the "miracle cure" quick fix nonsense market, for diets, aging, cellulite etc. which thrives on this lack of transparency.

She then made a sarcastic remark, noting that "they" would rather prefer false advertising that the audience could look "exactly" the same. In her later comments, the activist argued that it is the "pivotal first step" to dismantle the "miracle cure" quick fix nonsense market. They all thrive on the "lack of transparency," she noted.
I would like to make it extremely clear that I don't give a flying fuck about what people *think* my intentions are. We do not as a society, have a great track record of trusting women's intentions and have been set up to not trust women in general since the story of Eden. ❤️
The arguments have continued to develop among netizens. But, Jameela Jamil ended her points and clarified that she doesn't care about what others think about her intentions.
