Celebrities have recently been using their platforms to voice their opinions about the still existent inequalities of the world, including Jameela Jamil on who recently appeared on Russell Brand's Under Skin Podcast. The two addressed very important issues on the episode, however, some backlash was recieved from fans due to Russell's past behavior. Jameela took to Instagram saying, "Some of you are very angry I have appeared on his podcast, but I did it because I've witnessed a tremendous change in him. I've watched him publicly own up to all of his mistakes, explain his mental illness, explain his behaviour to others, and use all of his mistakes as an example to help others avoid making those same mistakes." We couldn't agree more! It is important to allow people the opportunity to grow and learn from past behavior. People make mistakes, but shouldn't be punished forever because of them. Jameela continued, ""If we cancel people forever, when they have demonstrated immense change and remorse, we devalue progress. It isn't going to get us anywhere."
