- Zeinab Badawi interviews British actress, activist and model Jameela Jamil. After breaking into the US with the critically acclaimed comedy series The Good Place, she has been getting attention for her criticism of celebrities like the Kardashians for their promotion of diet products to millions of young women on social media. Is her campaign to make us feel better about our bodies working?
"Don't sell laxatives to children
"
"Don't sell dangerous unregulated products to children "
"Do not attribute your physique , that is down to a personal chef, personal trainer, surgeon, heavy use of photoshop which you never declare and pretend that you look like that because of some dogie powder" !!!
Standing ovation for that !!
Ugh, Jameela killed it. Love her. Did not let the interviewer mess her around.
absolutely killed it!!! she's AWESOME
The interviewer is giving me a headache, can’t stand her. Well done Jameela, you kept your poise and grace, you were so patient, I aspire to achieve that level of calm
I went to the comments 5 minutes in to wright this and leave the video. She is insufferable. Love Jameela!
She's got to ask the hard obnoxious questions so that Jameela can respond to them in the wonderful way she did. I honestly believe the interviewer was in full support of Jameela and what she is doing. I think that if she was too soft on her it wouldn't have been a great interview.
I aspire to have the kind of grace and poise and patience that Jameela does. What an absolute legend.
Miles Lehmann lol not as embarrassing as spending your free time trying to shame strangers on the internet. You poor thing 😂
@@OlympicandTitanic It is so hard to take someone like you seriously, who can't even spell "role model" correctly.
And the bees will chase her into traffic every 13 years 🙄
I was wondering why everyone was calling the interviewer rude until I got to the end and wanted to smack her.
yeahhhh sameeeee
I met this interviewer once when I was working at a gallery in London for close to minimum wage. She was so rude to me I nearly walked out. Really glad Jameela managed to hold her own and articulate a really interesting and honest conversation.
It was a great interview, Jameela kept her ground while the interviewer was trying to talk about statements of 8/10 years ago. She cut her right there and did not allow her to make that the centre of the conversation. Totally agree with Jameela that celebrities like companies have a social responsibility because of their privileges, platforms and the way they profit from people idolising them. The least the should do is being honest. I recently discovered the I weigh platform and I am in love with this powerful woman!
No they don't. People watching them have a choice, they can choose who they follow.
@@sossoftnot everyone has that sense about them. We are naive as children, impressionable as teenagers. Not everyone has the self confidence to not be influenced. The world isn’t so black and white as I think this interview so wonderfully shows.
I’m really sick of passionate women being villainised or accused of being overdramatic - especially when it’s by other women! Jameela handled this interview (might as well call it an interrogation let’s be honest) incredibly well! Love her strength and determination so so much. She makes me feel proud to be a woman. 🧡
Jameela is well-spoken and takes no shit. Love her. This interviewer needs to go home putting her constantly on defense but she came straight back at her respectfully, but directly.
Period.
The interviewer is really bad, she's not listenning and following the conversation.
This interviewer interrupts and is terrible and clearly has unaddressed issues. Jameela is so strong and I love her perseverance.
yes, i am questioning whether it's an interview or questioning a witness in court. I loved her response.
What in your opinion is the role of an interviewer? Just sitting there and not asking questions?
@@justynaherbut2724 "Interviewer" is meant to be interrupting then?.. Noone says not to ask questions I believe. Just allow the other side to reply imo..
Jameel is fabulous 😍
Great interview, bad interviewer. Clearly had presumptions and judgements about Jameela, and couldn't resist to bring it up again and again. Pretty sad because she herself is a woman of colour and should have understood Jameela's position better
The interviewer looks like she bought celebrity products 😂
@@einstein9901 :D :D :D
Seems like she the interviewer gives no fcks, she was there to do a PR hit piece on Jamila and get her paycheck... She got her paycheck and a reputation out of this... Just like she wanted.
"I am not finished" preachhhh
This girl has found her purpose. She lives in the present.
*woman
So you're against cancelling people for statements they made in the past then?
Wow Jemeela handled herself so well! The interviewer was so judgemental?!!
This interviewer just wanted to spill the tea. Disgusting.
I think we can all take a lesson from Jamila in diffusing someone who is trying to corner you, and in using her platform for the right reasons.
I will never tire of hearing her say "sorry, I'm not finished," because we all deserve to get our point across fully, in our own way.
The way she handled the questions about statements form years ago and defended herself with confidence and eloquence, she killed it!!! Her interviews are brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
Jameela Jamil is amazing!
Also, why is this interviewer just telling her facts about her life rather than asking questions?
I love how she says: "I'm not finished". Why are they interviewing her if they don't want to hear it?
I actually like the way this interviewer went about the interview - yes, she wasn't pleasant, but she took all the worst things that people could have thrown at Jameela and let her respond to all of it the way she wanted to and stand her ground.
I agree Romaniya, by asking those difficult questions, or bringing up these difficult topics, it allowed her to shine and show what she's made of. What an absolutely beautiful and strong woman.
Jamela is literally a gift to this world. ❤️
The interviwer seems to be angry at Jameela
yeah she really kept missing the point
I think Jameela likes to act as a victim and blame everyone around else. She needs to be taken accountable.
and Jameela keeps her grace throughout the interview! AMAZING!
@@sossoft I kinda agree, look at the way she holds he hand in the interview. Her whole demeanor comes across as very fake. Ofc she has an invisible disease hahahah, how ironic
She’s not “angry” she’s just a black woman speaking with authority
Interviewing is an art - the art of doing your research and having a loose plan but also the ability to listen and go with the flow - being in the present but also thinking of the interview as a whole with a beginning middle and end and then bringing it in to land. This interviewer had a shaky grip on this particular flight 🤦🏼♀️
The interviewer is terrible! What's with her attitude? She could've been more polite. It's not her place to judge whether Jameela is right or wrong, even if the show's name is 'Hard Talk'.
For 3/4 of the interview, I thought there was nothing wrong with the tone of the interviewer, then, as soon as Jameela says that she wants to be outspoken and that sometimes she gets angry... the interviewer goes for her throat! She tried at least three times to have Jameela get angry and lose her marbles. And wow, Jameela was so focused and calm and she did not let being interrupted.
the interviewer hurt a billion times what could be a very strong interview, good job on Jamila for not being silenced nor used for raiting and click bait tittles.
oh god poor Jameela (talking about how interviewer treated her), but honestly funny the passive aggressiveness in this interview towards the end. terrific how it doesn't matter what situation it is Jameela will always be clear "sorry- IM NOT finisHED" preach girl.
OMG Jameela ! You slayed it , thank you for speaking up ! Specially about the Kardashians , sad times when we don't recognize as a consumer what we aid and support. Every dollar you spend as a consumer, gives power to those ruling big businesses. What message do you want young girls to receive through these brands? Think who you want to support and spend your money wisely.
Wow,I didn't know anything about her life although I have to say she's such an inspirational person!
She was mistreated and suffered a lot because of her illness but she overcame all of that amazingly well!
Love Jameela pointing out how she gets scapegoated with problems that are industry problems
Shes so intelligent glad to see Asian women doing so well
For the people who are commenting that the interviewer is terrible. This is the actual format of the show ' hard talk'. She is supposed to ask hard hitting questions and not in a softy softy manner!! Jamila can hold her own and then some. Good on her !!
They’re uncomfortable that a black woman is speaking with authority, that’s why so many comments are calling her angry and unprofessional
Those weren't hard hitting questions though, they were just BAD questions (some of them). They were good topics to bring up, for sure! But the way the interviewer went about it showed clear bias and quite a lot of judgement.
@@shizzlemywizzle1 Lol what? We're literally fans of a brown British lady and you think we're unimpressed by the interviewer because she's a brown British lady?? Mate. Mate, no.
Wow I wanted to cry at this. I am biracial and I felt very aliened with my peers too early #2000s . I had one friend growing up. I felt so deeply for her. Omg I want to hug her. ❤
I love the grace she holds when criticism is brought up. And handles it so well. Not too sure what the interviewer was trying to insinuate in some moments in the interview? Got quite rude in some points. But she handled it so so well.
This interview would have been more suited to a police interigation room. She was a snake! Jameela's genuine passion shone here and she managed to elegantly but firmly not allow her words to be twisted once - at least Zeinab didn't do the Piers Morgan 'shouting makes you right' tactic. I love what Jameela said about her reason for being in hollywood - I feel like there are a good few trojans there right now, I hope you all bring each other strength.
Amazing interview! What an incredible woman! Thanks for helping us to deepen our compassion.
I accidentally heard this interview on BBC app weeks ago, I'm feeling so lucky to find it again here, very inspiring und encouraging interview 👍
What is the interviewer's problem?
jealousy🤮🤮🤮🤮
It's called an interview.
Great interview. @JameelaJamil you know what? I actually agree with the argument you made about Beyonce sexualizing her body. Why? Because she, like many other women celebrities, are victims of this system that wants women to expose their bodies, selling it for "freedom". Would she have gained the same success without her body being so sexualized? Yes, I'm sure she would, she has the talent. So what was the need for doing that? I think the point you made back then is still valid. I am Italian, therefore European, and I have relatives in the US, and I notice the difference between our beauty standards, between how I and my American cousins (same age) pose for Instagram selfies, or what outfits they and I wear. I'm sorry to say they think "horny" is sexy. And this overly sexualized body image issue has nothing to do with freedom. Women should be free to show off their body, if that's what they want, no argue about that. But sexualizing body, as the only to be "sexy"...to whom? To man. No, that's not freedom. It's a big fat lie. It's a trap. Choosing to expose our bodies to please ourselves is freedom, doing it to please audience (male mostly) is not. There is a difference.
Jameela disagree with your statement, she just said that on the interview. The majority of Beyonce's audience is women, not men. By her lyrics you know to who she is singing too. Women should be free to do whatever they want with their bodies if it is their choice and Beyonce is pretty smart, rich and independent to do so.
Dyamn I aspire this amount of class and maturity in life. Such great way she has tackled such a ridiculous interviewer.
Jameela handled that very well. Interviewer did not listen to her and was out to get her. GO Jameela x Grace and tenacity !
The interviewer was cringe worthy, but Jameela carried herself well!
Great interview - just to say Zeinab Bedawi - is one of the most highly respected Black female journalists in Britain. Building her career on reporting Global political events - and usually interviewing world leaders and holding them accountable too. I think she was pretty gentle with Jameela Jamil - giving her an opportunity to clear up - why she is okay going after Kim K - and back tracking on her attacks on Beyoncé & Riri......really fascinating part of the interview.....Overall though two strong and intelligent women of colour - sharing the same platform? What a rarity! This should really be celebrated not viewed as combat.
I didn't see opportunity, I saw an attack. Opportunity is when you give to the other person time to answer without being pressured or judged by it. Also, she already addressed this subjects over and over and over as she said. The interviewer chose to defend the Kardashian's clan instead of being concerned with young girls believing in their lies. Kardashian's use make up on their bellies, besides personal trainers, money to eat healthy, nutritionists, plastic surgery and etc... And the interviewer defended their rights to lie to society saying they get beautiful by using their fake products. Come on... I totally support women together, but this is not what happened here.
Amazing! She stood her ground and keeps her integrity all along. Love her!
Jameela knew what she was doing signing up for hardtalk.this interview type is meant to pushher buttons and test her character and handled it too well!
I love Jameela so much. Love the way she doesn't take anyone's bs.
Why is this not on 1million+ views??????
and yet I see extremes, either skinny AF or plus size...no one is representing my skinny fatness anywhere LOL.
i agree there's def a gap there! the best place i've found for representation somewhere between v. thin and much larger is 'mid-size' instagrammers who are putting together their own looks, you can find a lot of them featured @MidSizeCollective 💖 hopefully brands will eventually catch up
Seriously? Fat people cannot fit in airplane chairs, I already saw a fat woman that couldn't use the bathroom in a mall as me, because how small it was. When they go to restaurants and the chair breaks, because it wasn't made thinking about other kinds of body, how fat ppl are portrayed as unhealthy while skinny ppl can have a lot of bad habits and not being target for "not looking healthy" or beautiful. Look around and get out of this dream, girl.
Is it just me, or does anyone realize that the interviewer started feeling a little nervous when Jameela started standing up and being assertive in the interview because the interviewer didnt really allow her to speak ?
The interviewer is a beautiful woman of colour, how dare jamelia project her anger on woman like boyonce, it's pure jelousy she's a horrible angry narcassist.
My god jameela is a lioness. Love her and everything she stands for. Wtf is this interviewer's game.
so thankful to hear her perspective and life experiences. i feel so heard and seen
I almost cried when she was talking about being physically attacked by the other children 😭
jameelas strengh to not roll her eyes in the end was massive and i salute that, my eyes would have fallen out at that point. She even pulled of a smile AND a handshake!
she’s so bold, in the best way. i love bold women.
WOW! Even bigger Jameela fan after watching this!
Jameela was amazing. Such a well-spoken, incredible role model.
What a horrifically embarrassing interview. Let Jameela answer the questions, thar's the whole point of the interview!
More power to you, Jameela. The world needs person like you!
Love this girl for being so genuine in a world that's looking more plastic everyday
She’s absolutely right , great interview 👍
She is not right. She is racist herself. How dare she say uk are racist. Yes you are crazy, uk gave u opportunity, go back to Pakistan and do something better if you are that worried about your own , nasty piece of work
What an amazing , smart, courageous and beautiful woman. Thank you Jameela.
great interview!
Her consistency is astounding! 2 years since this was uploaded and she’s just come out with articles about the “comeback” of this bullshit “heroine chic”. Go on, JAMEELA! Xx
The interviewer keeps cutting Jameela. Idk if she's just rude or it's a part of the show just because it's "hard talk" lmao
She's rude.
Kudos to Jameela for being able to fight back on these ridiculous shaming questions with knowledge and truth!!!
I like her. She is honest about the issues that matter to her and also about her past mistakes.
YES!! you are doing such a great work. Keep it up Jameela.
Jameela, you are fierce. Respect ✨
Wow so glad there are people like Jameela, much love!
It is hardtalk after all. She is supposed to bring people to task with difficult questions. I think Jameela did an incredible job answering it.
Jameela has an indelible charm. It's not put on or overdone, it's really innate and it's a treat to watch.
She’s great! Thank you for sharing. Blessings
Jameela...we need more of you. Im so inspired 💕💗🤟🏿
Luv Jameela and her positive message regarding body image..
She's such an inspiring woman! WOW! For more people like her :)) BRAVA!
Everything Jameela said here needs to be heard!! Thank god she was able to demand to be allowed to finish her own sentences! What a catty prejudiced interviewer !
I have so much respect for Jameela. Beautiful, intelligent, has a real purpose and so real.
What a wonderful woman! Love when she talks
What a hero! Thanks, JJ
Wow she is powerful
The interviewee feels like she's trying to catch Jameela in a mistake... an a-ha caught you moment. Great job Jameela! You know your stuff and it shows
Does she have a book?? She’s so bold I love it ❤️
Thank you ,Jameela Jamil for speaking your truth 🙏 👏 🙌 ❤
Please do not rush the people being interviewed. It is even stressful to listen to.
Less is more. Nevertheless I appreciate the interviewing lady.
She gave me anxiety and I do not appreciate that at all.. +_+
Nope. Nothing I appreciate about this lady atm.. :(
Jamela is Very well spoken👏🏼
beaten with tennis rackets is the most british thing ive ever heard. Also somehow love Jameela more than Tahani. Thats how awesome she is.
Inspirational jameela thank you for standing up for us
One year later she still got it right
i just love this and this woman Zeinab badawi,, thankyou for this, wow what an intelligent woman,,, nothing is more dangerous than an intelligent beautiful woman
This is very interesting...I like her point of view. She really does have a point.
Never heard of Jameela before. But I loved her from this interview
Jameela did wonderfully! The interviewer seemed short-sighted and obtuse in her delivery and questioning.
Zeinab Badawi is an experienced journalist and interviewer. It is called HARD talk for a reason. She isn't there to do the usual soft interview mostly done with celebs and politicians. Jemeela responded very well and in fact I don't think it was harsh at all. This is how interviewers in the UK are.
That interviewer may well be all those things you said...BUT it didn't come off that way. Especially the "I am just putting it out there" comment about Chloe Kardashian. It seemed like she was there to defend the Mega Stars that her guest had said things about, and make her the villain if it transpired that she couldn't explain her motivations as eloquently as Jameela, thankfully, is able to do. The whole thing felt very tabloid-y to me.
@@reginanegra I agree..
And imo, "hard" talk could be about asking the "hard" questions. Not interrupting time after time asking groundless questions, answered years ago already.
I love her, she is fierce!
I love Jameela's British accent ))
She is amazing ♡
Amazing person. Keep fighting Jameela.
I understand her as an Indian living in Germany
I got the feeling the interviewer respected her a lot, she tried to bring her down and Jameela was one step a head at every turn, it looked to me as though the interviewer was impressed with her.
