Actress and body positivity advocate Jameela Jamil has criticized the Met Gala for celebrating Karl Lagerfeld — the influential fashion designer who died in 2019.

Jamil, best known for starring in NBC's"The Good Place," wrote onthat"Hollywood and fashion said the quiet part out loud when a lot of famous feminists chose to celebrate at the highest level, a man who was so publicly cruel to women, to fat people, to immigrants and to sexual assault survivors.

But for all his influence as a designer, he was also a controversial figure, making a number of disparaging statements that upheld narrow standards of beauty or cast criticism on the #MeToo movement. He also sparked outrage in 2017 when he criticized then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel for offering refuge to people fleeing conflict.
