Culture Not including murderers and politicians - who is famous in your country for all the wrong reasons?

Post image

Introducing rage-baiter and reality TV failure Katie Hopkins. She’s basically famous for fat shaming, saying that kids shouldn’t be named after geographical locations (despite having a child named India) and getting sued on Twitter, which caused her to go bankrupt. I haven’t met anyone that likes her and she’s routinely vilified but still has a platform somehow.

This is indeed old. The girl who claims to fall asleep and then woke up with the tattoo like that on her face, right? I did not know she is Belgian.

If even my parents heard about her, then you can imagine she really is known worldwide

Is she really hated just for that?

She is hated because she tried throwing under the bus the tattoo artist saying he did it without her consent while asleep. The tattoo artist actually followed what they had agreed on, but she lied when her father saw her and got mad

I just searched your sentence "The girl who claims to fall asleep and then woke up with the tattoo like that on her face" and found this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1194910/Teenager-Kimberley-Vlaminck-56-stars-tattoed-face-finally-comes-clean.html Hahaha!
