Jameela Jamil calls Piers Morgan a 'bullying parasite' after he leaks Caroline Flack's DMs about her
Jameela Jamil slams 'Good Morning Britain' host Piers Morgan after he flagged some messages sent by Caroline Flack to him which highlighted 'hate' from Jamil.
Speaking of Morgan's comments, Jamil shared, "Using a dead woman who I was friends with, as a weapon to try to create further harassment for me as I’ve JUST explained publicly that last week I felt suicidal... is why he is this industry’s most problematic. My criticizing a *show* did not aim any hate at Caroline."
"I will not allow this conversation to carry on in which she can’t respond or speak for herself. She would be disgusted her personal messages were shared and weaponized against a woman, by a bullying parasite she thought was her friend. I’m out," Jamil added. Over the weekend, Morgan had shared a screenshot of a direct message Flack had allegedly sent him in October.
The message read, "Please have pictures... I’m struggling with Jameela..the hate she aims at me." These comments are believed to have been made in reference to the criticism that Jamil had made on Twitter regarding a Channel 4 program 'The Surjury' Flack had been sent to host.
Morgan struck back and had slammed Jamil and written, "Jameela Jamil is having a lot to say about online harassment, so in the interests of balance, here is a message Caroline Flack sent me last October after the same Jameela Jamil led an online pile-on against her regarding a new TV show she was doing." Jamil responded to this and clarified that she had commented on the show itself and that she was not targeting Flack at all.
Caroline Flack was found dead in her north London home on Saturday, February 15. According to a family lawyer, she had taken her own life. Flack, 40, had been charged with assaulting her boyfriend Lewis Burton and was due to stand trial. She had denied the charge.
