Jameela Jamil Disses Piers Morgan After He Releases Caroline Flack's DMs About Her
Piers Morgan is back at it again -- picking a fight with a celebrity, that is. This time he's attacked Jameela Jamil and she's ready to fight back.
Jamil took to Twitter on Sunday to set the record straight after she was called out by Morgan for allegedly encouraging cyberbullying. In his attack, the "Good Morning Britain" host released a screenshot of a private direct message between himself and the late "Love Island" host Caroline Flack, where she wrote, "I'm struggling with Jameela... The hate she aims at me."

"Jameela Jamil is having a lot to say about online harassment," Morgan tweeted. "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."
Appalled by the post, "The Good Place" actress replied, "Piers 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," she clarified. "I simply said I found the show 'surjury' (not her) problematic for kids to watch."
Jamil later posted in a follow-up tweet that she will no longer "allow this conversation to carry on" because Flack cannot speak for herself, another point she slammed Morgan over by calling him "a bullying parasite."
"The Surjury" was a reality show Flack hosted in which people try to convince a jury why they should receive the cosmetic surgery of his or her dreams. However, the show, which was scheduled for release later this year on Channel 4, has been canceled in the wake of the TV presenter's death.
“We are shocked and saddened to hear the tragic news about Caroline Flack," a spokesperson for the network said, according to Express. "Our deepest sympathies go out to Caroline's family and friends. Under the circumstances, we have decided not to broadcast 'The Surjury'."
