Jameela Jamil called out Amber Rose for promoting ‘flat tummy products’ on social media while pregnant.

Rose, who announced in April that she is expecting her second child, shared a sponsored post for Flat Tummy Co on her Instagram account yesterday.

The image showed the model clutching a sachet of the brand’s Organic Pregnancy Tea while wearing a black crop top which showed off her baby bump.

Rose told her followers that the product is intended to help expectant and new mothers “with those bloated, nauseous, blah feeling days” and claimed that the tea is “safe to take while pregnant and breastfeeding”.

As her followers asked Rose to “stop promoting these products” and described the post as “wrong” and “irresponsible,” the Good Place star chimed in with criticism of her own.

“FLAT TUMMY PRODUCTS FOR… PREGNANT WOMEN? Is this FDA approved?” the actress asked, sharing Rose’s image on Twitter before adding “Are we...f******... KIDDING?” and tagging the FDA’s official account.

“So many women, with such big platforms, promoting such irresponsible f******, that it blows my mind,” she added in a later post.

Rose later appeared to hit back at the criticism as she altered her Instagram caption to allude to the backlash.

“This is not a detox tea - it’s specially designed to help reduce occasional nausea and support digestion during pregnancy,” she wrote, before telling “haters” to “stop riding the bandwagon and think for yourselves.”

Jamil frequently calls out celebrities for posting adverts for weight loss products on social media and recently hit out at Love Island for a perceived lack of body diversity on the ITV2 show.

Sharing a photo of Love Island contestant Anna Vakili, she wrote: “The producers of Love Island think this slim woman counts as their new token ‘plus size’ contestant? Are they drunk?”
