From the Guardian:

BBC Radio 1 chart show presenter Jameela Jamil has told how she was subject to “terrifying” death and sexual threats on Twitter after she criticised Miley Cyrus.

Jamil said pop stars such as Cyrus, who provoked outrage with her twerking performance opposite Robin Thicke at last year’s MTV video music awards, were contributing to the objectification of women’s bodies.

Jamil, who also makes documentaries for BBC3, criticised the BBC’s decision to close down the TV channel, making it online-only next year, saying young people always “got the short end of the bargain”.

In a discussion about trolling at Ad Week Europe in London on Tuesday, Jamil said: “I have had quite a lot of those death threats, really scary sexual threats, all because I might have touched on Miley Cyrus and her overt use of her sexuality and her vagina to give her more of a platform in the media.

“I debated whether it was the right way to go necessarily for the progression of woman and it was just terrifying, the onslaught that you receive.”
