Comedian and mimicry artist Jamie Lever has decided to take a short break from social media. The move comes after she faced heavy online backlash over a recent Instagram reel. Jamie is best known for her celebrity mimicry videos, which usually draw laughs and praise. This time, the response was very different.
The issue gained attention among Bigg Boss 19 viewers. Many linked the trolling to Jamie’s reel on contestant Tanya Mittal. What started as a comedy video soon turned into a heated online debate.
Jamie has built a loyal following by copying famous faces in a fun and light way. Her work is often shared widely and enjoyed by fans. But this incident became personal. The negativity took a toll on her, prompting her to step back.
Here’s What Jamie Lever Said
In her Instagram note, Jamie explained her decision calmly. She made it clear that she was not reacting in anger. She wrote, “Those who truly know me know how deeply I love my work and how honestly I do it. I’m grateful to God for the gift of bringing joy to others and forever thankful for the love I’ve received over the years. I’ve learned on this journey that not everyone will cheer for you or laugh with you. Recent events have made me feel like I’ve lost a small part of myself – this comes from reflection, not anger.”
She ended the message on a hopeful note. Jamie added, “I love what I do and will always entertain. For now, I’m taking some time to rest and reset. See you next year. Thank you for the love, prayers and support – always.”
Why Was Jamie Lever Trolled By Tanya Mittal Fans
The backlash began after Jamie shared a reel mimicking Bigg Boss 19 finalist Tanya Mittal. In the video, Jamie recreated Tanya’s expressions from the show. This included moments where Tanya was seen crying. Jamie also called her the “number 1 entertainer” of the season.
Some viewers found the reel funny, while others did not. A section of Tanya Mittal’s fans accused Jamie of crossing a line. They claimed the mimicry mocked Tanya’s emotions and looks. Soon, the comments turned harsh. The trolling grew louder with each passing hour.
As the criticism piled up, many started to believe the negativity pushed Jamie to take a break. Though Jamie did not name anyone directly, the timing raised questions.
Who Is Tanya Mittal?
Tanya Mittal was one of the most talked-about faces of Bigg Boss 19. She is a spiritual influencer and entrepreneur from Gwalior. Throughout the season, she stayed in the spotlight for her emotional reactions.
Her breakdowns during tasks and arguments divided viewers. Some felt empathy for her pain. Others accused her of using emotions for attention. One major moment involved comments by Kunickaa Sadanand about Tanya’s mother and upbringing. This led Tanya to speak about her traumatic past, including childhood abuse and a forced marriage. These scenes sparked both support and trolling online.
Coming back to Jamie Lever, she has appeared in films like Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, Housefull 4, Bhoot Police, Yaatris, and Crakk. She is also the daughter of legendary comedian Johnny Lever.
