Jameela Jamil And Chrissy Teigen Weighed In On Kim Kardashian’s New Skims Maternity Shapewear

OK, I have a joke for you. A “cookbook author”, a “presenter” and an “entrepreneur” walk into a bar. The bartender asks, “what’ll it be, ladies?” All three lean over the bar and scream “HOW DARE YOU!?!?!?!?!?!!?” Suddenly, an asteroid lands on the bar, and everything and everyone is instantly vaporized. That’s it. That’s the joke. The punchline could use a little work but it’s better than the truth in which Chrissy Tiegen, Jameela Jamil and Kim Kardashian continue to berate our eyeballs with their criminally stupid social media “debates.” This time it’s about Kim’s Skims maternity shapewear which Chrissy defended after Jameela said it makes pregnant women self-conscious about their growing bodies. Oh wait, did I say asteroid? I meant meatier.

According to Us Weekly, Jamila, who has never had a baby, created a post on Instagram talking about “Lot of talk on the internet today about pregnancy shapewear. And each to their own. But from the discourse online I will say: I wish we could just Normalize just focusing on the inside of a pregnant body, not the outside.” Well, at least she managed, technically, to keep Kim’s name out of her mouth like she promised. Here’s Jameela’s initial post (yes there are more to come, what, are you new here?).

Now, maternity shapewear has been around for decades— it’s sold by Macy’s, Spanx, Target, and A Pea in the Pod if you’re a fancy bitch. So despite what Kim would have you think, she did not invent that shit. However, it’s a safe bet that Kim’s announcement of the imminent release of Skims Maternity is the reason there’s currently a “Discourse Online.”

Her comments on Sunday came less than a day after Kim announced in an Instagram post that her Skims maternity line goes on sale on Wednesday, September 16. In her post, the KKW Beauty founder wrote that her “Solutionwear … offers the best in comfort and support for your changing body during and after pregnancy,” and is available in nine colors and sizes XXS to 5X.

In a shocking display of constraint, currently pregnant Chrissy weighed in on Twitter. Note her pointed lack of capitalization. That’s an indication that this is a just a chill conversation and not a Hostile Confrontation. Just so we’re clear, she’s not chiming in for free pannies. She can afford Pea in the Pod on her own, thank you very much. She’s reading from a script for other reasons she’s under no obligation to disclose! Remember, she doesn’t even know Kim like that anymore.

on the controversy that is pregnancy shapewear: it’s not to be smaller. these brands aren’t pressuring us to be smaller. thanks for looking out for us everyone but we’re good! https://t.co/8arPjfDiUl

And for the sake of the children, Kim also entered into The Discourse in a generous, maternal manner, addressing her mortal enemy as simply “anyone who has an issue”.

To anyone who has an issue with maternity solutionwear, and if you haven’t been pregnant before you may not know the struggle of what it’s like carrying all of this weight the way I did along with millions of strong women, @skims maternity line is not to slim but to support.

Gee, I wonder who she could be talking about. Not Jameela, that’s for sure. She checked!
