Chloe, 38, took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday to brand Jameela 'full of herself' as she deemed the comments 'just a thinly veiled dig' at women who are slim. 

Imagine being so full of yourself and your feminist views that you publicly determine another woman's body size as a deliberate bend to the patriarchy. The woman doing this does not read as feminist to me. At all. AT ALL.

In a second post, Chloe shared part of Jameela's statement where she said: 'If we all collectively refused to starve ourselves, they would have to bend us.'
