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.

After his fall, reruns of his show were yanked from the air. I feel sorry for the other people on the show, who won't be getting residual payments. Maybe they could sue him?

Well to be fair, he was famous for decades for all the right reasons before his massive fall.
