The awards ceremony hasn’t even started yet, but already, we have a winner: whoever is captioning the red carpet for E!. Why is this unknown person a winner? Because of this brutal amount of shade thrown at Jameela Jamil, known for playing Tahani Al-Jamil on The Good Place:

In case your first thought is ‘that’s fake’, I applaud you for your commitment to calling out bad journalism when you see it. Fortunately, in this case, we have confirmation from the official The Good Place Twitter account, as well as Netflix.

In case this makes no sense to you, 1. watch The Good Place, and 2. it’s a reference to Tahani’s relationship with her sister, Kamilah – they’re constantly in competition, and Tahani always comes up short. She’s also regularly mistakenly called by her sister’s name, hence E‘s joke.
Whoever did this definitely deserves a spot in the Good Place.
Side note, but Jameela Jamil is apparently wearing jeggings at the awards tonight, because it’s cold (aka 14 degrees) in Los Angeles, apparently. Tahani would never.
