Loved and disparaged for her forthright persona and fierce activism, Jameela Jamil's acting career has been a concurrent stint alongside Jamil's persistent fight against patriarchy and the misleading privileged snoots of the showbiz industry. Amongst a slew of celebrities who had to bear the brunt of Jamil's sharp mouth are Cardi B, the Kardashians, Miley Cyrus, Rihana, and more.

The Good Place fame came out as queer and explained her stance. "It's also scary as an actor to openly admit your sexuality, especially when you're already a brown female in your thirties. This is absolutely not how I wanted it to come out," wrote Jamil. While many weren't convinced of Jamil's eligibility for the role, the actress told off the haters saying, "you can keep your opinions to yourself."
