If you've been paying any attention to Twitter or Instagram this week, you may have noticed The Good Place's Jameela Jamil starting a bit of a feud with celebrities promoting detox teas.
It all started when Cardi B posted a video to her instagram promoting Teami with a Black Friday deal code.
Jameela, who has publicly spoken about her issues with her body and the drastic measures she went to to lose weight as a teenager, took a screenshot of the video and tweeted this:
Cardi responded with a tweet saying: "I will never shit my pants cause there's public bathrooms... oooo and bushes." Drama.
Kim Kardashian's posts about appetite suppressing lollypops, Iggy Azalea's diet tea tweets, Perez Hilton saying he'd take money for advertising the products... everyone got slammed by Jameela.
She then went on to explain that her time taking diet problems had left her with digestion and metabolism problems for life.
Get in touch and let us know where you stand on this feud, do you use detox teas or are they a waste of time?
Totally agree with Jameela. Unsurprisingly, the human body having evolved for many thousands of years, needs no help from teas to deal with the toxins within. Our livers do a fantastic job of detoxifying and they do this every second of every day. Taking “detox teas” or following “detox diets” will do nothing to help this process.
