Jameela Jamil wants vengeance

Jameela Jamil has been revered and despised as the internet’s
loudest anti-fat-shaming activist, a social media Candyman out to
get the diet industry. But whatever the public opinion, she
couldn't care less. In this week’s episode of Art of Power, host
Aarti Shahani sits down with the premiere social media activist of
a generation. We discuss her unexpected career launch in the U.K.
(1:40), a life-threatening discovery that shook her into upending
her life (2:41), her unfiltered social media battle with
entertainment giants (7:17), her decades-long battle with
depression and suicide (18:20), the origin story of her media
company, I Weigh (30:09), how her Brown girl identity has shaped
her career trajectory (38:51) and her deadly phobia of bees (0:00).
“I will die fighting the f***ing diet industry,” she says. If you
or someone you know may be considering suicide, contact the
