Jameela Jamil has called out the pattern of extreme weight loss in Hollywood. Emma Mcintyre / Getty Images As you might be aware, it's becoming increasingly common to see ultra-thin celebrities on red carpets, oftentimes wearing outfits that showcase their protruding chest bones. Some might speculate that the rise in thinness is due to the overwhelming number of celebs who are using GLP-1s, such as Ozempic or Mounjaro, which help lower blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. Jameela is one of the few celebrities who has long spoken against some celebs' use of weight loss medication; a few months ago, she publicly shared that Serena Williams's use of a GLP-1 made her "uncomfortable."

Speaking candidly in a TikTok video, she began, "It is not body-shaming to comment on the fact that there is a rapid rise of the aesthetic of emaciation amongst women in Hollywood. Women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s even." Dave Benett / Getty Images "All of a sudden, becoming so thin that you can see their ribs, you can see their hip bones jutting out," she said. "No one's saying they look disgusting... that would be body-shaming. What we are commenting on it for is because it's so widespread, it's so extreme, it's happened so fast. And the question is, who is pushing this aesthetic?" Karwai Tang / Getty Images Jameela then questioned why so many women and feminists were pushing this "aesthetic" by wearing clothing that hugely accentuates their thinness. She asked, "Why is famine a desired aesthetic again?" before pointing out, "It's come along at a time of the rise of conservatism.""I'm incredibly worried about my peers. Every event I go to, when I hug people, it feels like they're gonna snap in my hands," she added. Pointing out the health-related risks of extreme weight loss, Jameela continued, "This stuff is really, really serious, and it's being so hypernormalized. It's setting an example for young girls who then think they are not normal if flesh grows on their bodies." David Dee Delgado / Getty Images "I'm sad that strength is no longer aspirational. I'm sad that frailty and fragility is a beauty standard in this day and age of feminism," she shared. "We've come too far to be risking our health and our happiness and our longevity." Several internet users praised Jameela for her remarks, with one person writing, "THIS IS A GIRL'S GIRL. This is healthy support." Dave Benett / Getty Images "It DID happen fast! What is going on???? Thank you, Jameela," another comment read, while someone else wrote, "People get so worked up about 'glorifying obesity,' but not about glorifying starvation.""God, it's like living through the 90s again," one person said. Another user echoed, "As a millennial, it's feeling a LOT like early 2000s tabloids out here." Let's hear your thoughts in the comments.
