Jameela Jamil is renowned for how vocal she is when it comes to calling out the impossible beauty standards that are promoted in the showbiz world.

One of the people in the public eye who she has called out in the past is Kim Kardashian, with Jameela joining the widespread backlash that the star faced in 2022 after she was asked to give advice to aspiring businesswomen.

However, in a new interview, Jameela defended Kim and even appeared to express some empathy toward her during a frank discussion about body image.

The host then mentioned Kim’s divisive look at last month’s Met Gala, with the star shocking people by wearing a corset that made her waist absolutely tiny. Kim later admitted that she could barely breathe in the couture Maison Margiela outfit, and Rylan said that the whole thing was “not realistic.”

“She’s not trying to be realistic, though,” Jameela countered. “She’s wearing a corset. I understand why it’s not responsible to wear a tiny corset, but I also think it was a bit weird that no one talked about the fact that was Margiela, and Margiela-designed, and the entire Margiela runway show was girls who were almost fainting coming down the runway in those tiny corsets.”
