I've had the misfortune of trying to listen to iweigh (when she had aisling Bea and Joe lysaght on). It is an appalling podcast and nothing more than a vehicle for her narcissism and her munchausens.It is a massive shame.
Jameela's use of feminism and the patriarchy is incredibly tiresome - and I'm a feminist!! Even I'm eye-rolling. Especially when it's used to deflect and not take accountability for her own behaviour. She's making it far too easy for people to turn their back on even discussing or contemplating it as a concept.
I feel like if Jameela's heart was truly in the right place, she would get off Twitter and social media and put her money where her mouth is.
I know she has I Weigh, but to me that seems to be a content machine for social media rather than anything tangible.
She should start an academy for girls or fund young women in 3rd level STEM. Fund female led research. There's lots of incredible people out there with amazing ideas in every corner of the world, they just need to money and the publicity to get started.
She told Aisling Bea that her show This Way Up was actually about her (jameela) because like the character, she TOO had had a nervous breakdown whilst teaching English as a foreign language (sure, Jan) and cut across Joe lysaght talking about his grief at a friends death to announce she cant cry because she us allergic to her own tears (suuurrre, Jan)
