When it comes to working with brands, those in the diet industry are off the table for Jameela Jamil.
While speaking at Cannes Lions, the actress and podcaster said she’s willing to work with any brand “as long as they’re not in the diet industry – in that case, please do not approach.
“I’m not interested in yet another project that is going to restrict a woman’s freedom in how she feels and make her feel bad about herself. I want her to build her mental health,” she elaborated.
“The brands I’m interested in working with are those that help women sleep better, or move faster, or technology that get mostly advertised on men’s podcasts. Food – give us food,” Jamil, 37, continued. “I want to remind women to eat, I don’t want to sell diet products that tell women to stop eating. I don’t want to be yet another reminder that women need to restrict and show their discipline via what their bodies look like.”
