"these cowardly little aggressions."
Jameela Jamil hit out at the men responsible for making deepfake porn of her.
The British actress and model discovered fake pornographic videos, in which her face was digitally added to the body of an adult actress.
Refusing to be seen as a victim, Jameela said:
“There is this preconceived certainty that I would feel mortified and violated.
“Obviously, the matter is worth taking seriously, and the women and girls featured in this falsified imagery sometimes experience horrendous bullying, shaming and job insecurity, which is completely unacceptable and frankly, insane.
“I also know there is a risk of people having their faces imposed on what looks like illegal acts of a sexual nature and so on and so forth.
“It’s a slippery slope… I registered the full implication of this loathsome use of technology.”
However, Jameela, who lives in Los Angeles with her musician boyfriend James Blake, admitted:
“Instead, I felt detached. It wasn’t me. I’m not there.
“I am not actually involved. Why is this being brought to my door as if it’s my problem?
“If anything, I felt a little sad for the people who made these videos.”
Jameela Jamil wrote on Substack: “I don’t think simply crying ‘misogyny’ achieves anything. This behaviour is a symptom of something.
“These men are in crisis.
“They are filling an inner void carved out with tools of isolation, depression and helplessness, with these cowardly little aggressions.
“What if we collectively shun the shame, and recycle it into pity?”
Jameela previously slammed the creators of the deepfake video, saying:
“It [the video] is fake. And I find it so deeply cringe of men to do this. I refuse to turn it into a thing that I fear, which is what they want.
“The men who are making these videos are getting off on the fact we’re upset.
“It’s so sad that they’re in their basement taking videos of my face and putting it on someone else’s t**s and vagina.
“You get one life and there’s all these things you could do instead, yet they choose to sit in the dark doing this.
“That’s not a shame on me. The shame’s on them.”
Meanwhile, Jameela Jamil recently came under fire for her comment about Luigi Mangione, who is charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot dead in New York City.
While a manhunt to find Mangione was underway, social media was filled with people commenting on him.
One upload was a shirtless picture of Mangione.
The post was flooded with comments but it was Jameela Jamil’s which sparked controversy.
She wrote: “A star is born.”
