Body Positivity Advocate Receives Death And Rape Threats For Voicing Support To Farmers
The much-talked-about farmers' protests against the Agri bills in India is getting uglier day by day. Celebrities who are reacting to the protests were being attacked personally. Global celebrities were also not being spared.
After American Pop singer Rihanna and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg supported the farmers' agitation, British body positivity advocate Jameela Jamil has also voiced her support for the protest.
The Model and radio presenter took to Instagram to share that each time she voices her support to the farmers' agitation, she has been receiving rape threats and death threats.
"I have repeatedly spoken about the farmers in India over the past few months and what is happening there at the moment, but each time I do I am met with death and rape threats". She adds, "So while you are pressurising me in my DMs please keep in mind that I am a human being who has some limitations as to what I can handle. I do, however, maintain my solidarity is of course with the farmers in India and everyone fighting for their rights during this protest.I hope you are also pressuring the men to speak on this subject too as they are far less likely to be attacked the way women in the public eye are. To everyone reading this. As I've asked many times before, please read about whatâs happening," her note reads.
The Model has further added that she will not take a back step from supporting the farmers despite receiving the threats and urged everyone to read more about the protests.
