'The Good Place's' Jameela Jamil was called by her character's sister's name during E! red carpet show

Yes, that forking happened. "The Good Place" actress Jameela Jamil was identified as Kamilah al-Jamil during the E! red carpet show.

Jamil, who plays Tahani al-Jamil in the NBC comedy series, hit the 2019 Golden Globes red carpet with a look inspired by her fashionable character. But E! committed the ultimate taboo by calling her Kamilah.

"The Good Place" fans know that Tahani spent her entire life in the shadow of her superstar younger sister, Kamilah. Tahani's rivalry with her sister is ultimately what lead to her death (she was crushed by a statue of her sister as she tried to knock it down).

This means one of the biggest slights anybody can commit against Tahani is to compare her, or confuse her, with her sister.

"Tahani found dead," tweeted the official "Good Place" account in response to the savage mix-up.
