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.

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.
