Jameela Jamil sparks fierce backlash after calling British people ‘the most evil people in history’

The actress and broadcaster, best known for her role as Tahani Al-Jamil in the critically acclaimed comedy ‘The Good Place’, made the remarks during an episode of her podcast ‘Jameela Jamil: Unfiltered’ alongside television personalities Blakely Thornton and Justin. Speaking about how she shaped the character, she said, “I’m so lucky to have been part of that show. It was so well-written, and Megan Amram, who is one of the lead writers on that show, just wrote the shit out of Tahani, so together we all crafted her. But I just had to make her a bit more of a b****. They wanted her to be very sweet. Americans think British people are so sweet, which is so crazy because British people are truly the most evil people in history. They are Thanos. Britain is Thanos. They owe 43 trillion to India. We colonise the world.”
