Jameela, who has been spreading the message of body positivity recently, shared two throwback pictures of herself wearing a white sundress to illustrate her body confidence after she gained five stone from medication she took for her asthma.

Captioning one of the pictures, The Good Place actress wrote: "When I was on steroids and gained 70lbs for a couple of years,

"The paparazzi tried to shame me and would taunt me outside my own house. Did I cover up? No.

"I wore whatever I liked and owned my fun body that took me from A to B. I also released a plus size clothing line and started a great, long relationship."

She added: "Over the course of 5 years of no meds it came off.

"But I didn't kill myself in a gym, I didn't diet. I embraced it and believed I was worth more than punishing myself for some weight when I had built this whole life I was enjoying and proud of."

But while most like-minded women praised Jameela for initiating a body positive trend, one man commented on her inappropriate dress sense.

The troll wrote: "According to your name .. I guess u r a muslim lady ....

"Do you think this is a proper dress for a muslim woman ??

"Hope you get to the right path and respect ALLAH if you really believe in him."

Jameela hit back: "Actually, I'm not a Muslim, I wasn't raised as Muslim.

"My mother was a model and my father ate pork and drank alcohol. My uncle was a catholic priest," she pointed out.

"I was raised in the West. I have no religion i follow so I'm on a fine path and all women should be allowed to dress how we like."

The troll then went onto accuse her parents of being "bad Muslims".

"May ALLAH guides u to the right way B'Bye (sic)."

Jameela's mum, Shireen Jamil then stepped in, branding the troll a "coward who bullies young women".

The man continued to argue with Jameel's mum, replying: "Hello Mrs Jamil ..

"I think you r getting me wrong ... u r accusing me of things that are not true and never happened ...
