Jameela Jamil Slams Celebs Endorsing Met Gala 2023 for Honouring Karl Lagerfeld, Calls it ‘Selective Cancel Culture’ in Her Insta Post.

"And all the women's publications, and spectators online, chose to gleefully ignore it. Nobody has perfect morals, least of all me, but Jesus Christ, we had a year to course-correct here and not award the highest honor possible to a known bigot," Jamil continued.Jamil did not stop here.  She added, "This isn't about cancel culture. Its not even about Karl. It's about showing how selective cancel culture is within liberal politics, in the most blatant way so far. It's about showing why people don't trust liberals. Because of slippery tactics and double standards like this. And it's not just Hollywood here, the general public online participated and were entirely complicit in the erasure of the truth last night.

They replaced their pitchforks with spoons last night, to lap that shit right up..." The 2023 Met Gala was attended by some of the biggest names in music, television, film and fashion including Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Kim Kardashian, Gigi Hadid, Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna among others. Lagerfeld died in 2019 at the age of 85, and while his work at the helm of houses like Chanel, Fendi and Chloe may be his most enduring legacy, the designer will also go down in history as one of the style industry's most eccentric and endlessly quotable figures.
