Last year in February Jamil called out Piers after he shared private DMs that Caroline Flack had sent him about Jamil. Caroline had been DM’ing Morgan about Jamil who had criticised Caroline’s show, The Surjury.
Jamil made it known that she was not insulting Caroline , she was just criticising the show, not the presenter. At the time she tweeted “I simply said I found the show ‘surjury’ (not her) problematic for kids to watch. Both times Caroline instigated debate with ME even though I was not targeting or blaming her at all. I always just politely explained my point.”
According to E! News Jamil tweeted at the time: “Using a dead woman who I was friends with, as a weapon to try to create further harassment for me as I’ve JUST explained publicly that last week I felt suicidal… is why he is this industry’s most problematic.”
