Not only from 'The Good Place' actress, but the pregnant star also receives criticism from her online devotees, with one writing, 'Don't promote this toxic crap.'

AceShowbiz - The latest product that Amber Rose promoted on Instagram successfully attracted criticism from both social media users and Jameela Jamil. The British beauty apparently just couldn't believe that the pregnant star promoted a weight-loss product for pregnant woman so much that she felt the need to call her out on her Twitter account.
Alongside a picture of the SlutWalk founder promoting the slimming tea, Jameela wrote, "FLAT TUMMY PRODUCTS FOR... PREGNANT WOMEN? Is this FDA approved? Are we... f***ing... KIDDING?" "The Good Place" star certainly still had more to say as she later posted another tweet that read, "So many women, with such big platforms, promoting such irresponsible f**k s**t, that it blows my mind."
Amber has yet to respond to the backlash as criticism continued to pour in. "Don't promote this toxic crap," one said. "A laxative tea for pregnant women? Girl you do not need the money that bad. This is just wrong," another commented as one other wrote, "Come now amber I respect you and all that but I doubt this stuff good for a pregnant woman to take."
Amber is not the first celebrity who received criticism for promoting these kind of products. The KarJenner family, such as Khloe and Kim Kardashian, have also gotten similar reaction when they promoted weight-loss products on their social media accounts. After the backlash, however, Khloe Kardashian deleted her promotion post from her page.
Be it for pregnant women or not, slimming tea is harmful to bodies. "Many of the flat tummy and slimming teas products being promoted are just expensive formulations of teas that have a natural mild laxative effect. It's just a marketing gimmick!" Amanda Carneiro told HollywoodLife.com. "I think the use of these teas can send the wrong message and set young girls (and even women) down a path to an unhealthy relationship with food and their bodies, or looking for a quick fix to weight loss."
