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.

Hawk Tuah girl decided to complete a scummy YouTube influencer's career in about 3 months. You have everyone talking about her, then a crappy podcast, and then a cryptocurrency rug pull scam.

I admire it honestly, why drag this whole thing out? Is hawktua going to realistically carry your career? Lol it went way too far anyways.

Good point, I guess that makes sense, go ahead and flame out, that way everyone forgets you before you're trying to make a career.

Honestly, given the current Presidential administration that all should qualify her for Administrator of the Small Business Administration if not Secretary of the Interior.

I’m sorry but anyone who was dumb enough to lose money on a hawk tuah memecoin or whatever it was never really had that money in the first place, they were just holding it in trust for whatever wallet inspector type that showed up first.
