Over the last few days, The Good Place actress Jameela Jamil has come under scrunity for some inconsistencies in her stories about what she has gone through, including her history with bees. Her boyfriend James Blake defended her a couple days ago in a statement, and today Jamil has posted a statement of her own addressing a story she told about a swarm of bees attacking her while she was interviewing Mark Ronson.
In an interview with The Sun in 2015, Jamil said that while she was working for BBC Radio 1, they were attacked by "500 bees." "It was the most scared I’ve ever been. I didn’t know what it was and then suddenly I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s killer bees! Those are killer bees!’ I just ran, food flew everywhere and I destroyed the whole set. It was terrifying," she said at the time.
In a clip from an interview with Ronson that's been circulated over the last couple days, Ronson said he didn't recall the event and said that "one or two individual bees approached slowly" during the incident.
