Greenspan Oct 10, 2019 3:56 PM UTC [Sophie Turner](https://time.com/5683955/emmys-2019-kit-harington-sophie-turner-hug/) put on her best American accent to make fun of [influencers](https://time.com/5647558/equinox-soulcycle-trump-boycott/) who promote [diet products](https://time.com/5633820/forever-21-diet-bars/) on Instagram. Wearing a scarf, beanie and gloves and using a filter to make her cheeks pink and altered her lips, the [Queen of the North](https://time.com/5587311/daenerys-mad-queen-game-of-thrones/) called out those who are paid to share content about products that might not be so safe. “Today, I just wanted to promote this new powdered stuff that you put in your tea, and basically it makes you sh-t your brains out, and is totally really bad for me to be promoting to young women and young people everywhere,” Turner said in the video. The _Game of Thrones_ star called out influencers on her own Instagram Story earlier this week, so the video is no longer available on her page, but _Paper_ magazine tweeted it on Tuesday. > [](https://twitter.com/papermagazine/status/1181572738223415296) Turner is the latest actor to join a chorus of celebrities to protest diet culture, a cause championed by actor [Jameela Jamil](https://time.com/5508873/avon-dimples-ad/), one of the loudest voices in the fight to end this promotional content on social media. The star of _The Good Place_ called out [Kim Kardashian West](https://time.com/5695322/momolu-stewart-prison-release-kardashian/) last year for promoting [appetite-suppressing Flat Tummy Co. products](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/aug/29/flat-tummy-instagram-women-appetite-suppressant-lollipops). “You terrible and toxic influence on young girls,” Jamil [said on Twitter](https://twitter.com/jameelajamil/status/996603187623641090), sharing Kardashian West’s Flat Tummy Co. lollipop Instagram ad. Jamil [started an online petition](https://www.change.org/p/instagram-facebook-twitter-and-snapchat-stop-celebrities-promoting-toxic-diet-products-on-social-media) to “stop celebrities promoting toxic diet products on social media,” [telling _Elle UK_](https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a29099049/instagram-weight-loss-products-jameela-jamil/) that she met with Instagram heads to work together in this initiative. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5697376/sophie-turner-slams-influencers/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5697376/sophie-turner-slams-influencers/"},"headline":"Sophie Turner Wears a Beanie to Call Out Influencers on Instagram for Promoting Diet Products","datePublished":"2019-10-10T15:56:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:47.173Z","description":"The 'Game of Thrones' star made fun of the promotional content on her own Insta","url":"https://time.com/5697376/sophie-turner-slams-influencers/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Social Media","celebrities","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt56d591332da62217/698a0420457a5242fbd62e93/sophie-turner-instagram-diet-posts.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel E.
