Ok I’ve watched ten minutes and I have to stop because the guy is waaaay to aggressive. I understand where he’s coming from and that he helps people make better life choices but the vitriol directed at Jameela here when, quite frankly, it’s not deserved is ridiculous. I think what she said about having ‘fat friends’ was really insensitive, I’m not here for that. But at the start when she was talking about how she would approach a person she’s worried about, I would actually start the conversation with what Jameela suggested. Going up to someone that your worried about or if someone is trying to confide to you and the first thing you say is ‘you should see a therapist, you should see a doctor’ is abrupt and a bit dismissive. The person may not feel ready to see a professional or they may not realise they need to, but they could just need a friend to confide in and then you can gently suggest ‘how you thought about seeing your doctor, I’m worried about you’. I understand what he means that (unless we are) we aren’t qualified to help with mental health problems but as a friend I think there should be a balance between listening to them and then directing them to help.
THIS IS A MUST WATCH! This guy is onto Jameela !!!
Also the comment he made about how someone might feel empowered to carry on losing weight when someone as famous and as rich (not sure what money has to do with it but ok) as her makes a comment on their weight loss felt wrong to me because, from personal experience and speaking to women I know, they don’t feel this way when someone comments on their weight loss. They feel it oversteps a Mark. Of course it may be different for other people but I don’t believe Jameela was far off the mark there.
