Cara Delevingne has lashed out at 'disrespectful' Jameela Jamil after her attack on the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld just hours after it was revealed he had died from pancreatic cancer aged 85. In the midst of floods of tributes from fashionistas to honour the icon, The Good Place actress, 32, continued her online crusade for body confidence and female empowerment by branding Karl 'a ruthless, fat-phobic misogynist'. She penned: 'I’m glad somebody said it. Even if it is a little soon. A ruthless, fat-phobic misogynist shouldn’t be posted all over the internet as a saint gone-too-soon. Talented for sure, but not the best person.'

The supermodel wrote: 'He was born in 1933! I am not saying I agree with some of the things he has said. I’m very emotional and mourning his death and feel like I have to stick up for him when he’s not here to speak for himself... 'Everyone has their own opinion and I felt the need to voice my own. All I want is for everyone to love each other no matter what. Just please understand that it’s an extremely emotional time and we must try use love instead of hate'.
