    She has been known for her ridiculous rules and judgements and personally I think she is a disgrace!

    Even in one of her interviews on 'This Morning' she completely contradicted herself with the ' I don't let my children hang around with children with certain names associated with locations etc..' yet her child's name is 'India' ?

    What do you think of her?

    I wish people would stop talking about her and giving her bullshít a platform.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 692 ✭✭✭jinkybhoy


    she's a rent a gob. Waste of air.

    Bad troll. People need to stop giving her attention.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,901 ✭✭✭Mince Pie


    These pics are priceless though for someone who casts aspersions on others offspring.

    She's figured out how to prolong her celebrity after The Apprentice and make a few quid from it.

    TV shows have her on because people talk about her. If she keeps making outlandish, controversial statements, more TV shows will invite her on.

    It's not particularly new or revolutionary (see Eamonn Dunphy this side of the pond for Sports, or Skip Bayless on the US Sports Scene), but it works because idiots fall for it. She's doing quite well out of it.

    She doesn't believe/mean half the shíte she says, she just says it because it helps make her richer than you.

    Ha, thats exactly what I said when I saw the pics on FB. That the kids were wearing curtains.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,195 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    She has a lot to say that doesn't need to be said. Bit of a braying ass, methinks.

    She has a fine lump of a nose on her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,711 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    The Jose Mourinho of the "celebrity" world. Talks crap but unfortunately is given a platform for it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,072 ✭✭✭le la rat


    She is known as Hopkins Lymphoma in our house


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    If show's in the UK would just stop bringing her on a guest, we'd never hear from her again.

    She could rant away with her 10 plus twitter posts a day, getting no responses.

    Total sickener.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    I have a simple solution.

    Why doesnt someone just kick her in the box?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭FreshKnickers


    I detest the attitude of 'Sure, everybody thinks what I think. I'm just the only one with the balls to actually say it".

    Personally I don't like football or pies or massages but I don't think for one moment that those who say they do are just saying they do. For some reason.

    Apt username. Go for it and godspeed.

    Couldn't stand her on The Apprentice, can't stand her now. I pretty much ignore her unless I feel like getting angry over something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,880 ✭✭✭DeanAustin


    She's just a wind up merchant and she should not be a very good one. However, with the reactions she gets, she obviously hits a nerve with some people.

    Rise to it and you're a f**king idiot no matter how inflammatory her opinions are. Ignore her and let her f**k off and die.

    It has two time zones.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    The media very happily gives her all the attention she wants. It's hardly her fault the media are doing that.

    The Late Late Show brought her on to up their ratings. That's the only reason anyone pays her attention. She's a business and it's working. Nothing more.

    I do not for one second believe that she believes most of the outrageous things she says. I believe that she has simply chosen this path of money-making and seems to be happy to accept the backlash.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    I honestly haven't a clue who Katie Hopkins is.

    I'm guessing I'm glad I don't watch TV3?

    She regularly calls herself ugly and she has also called her own kids ugly.

    It's all pretty bizarre.

    She was on the Late Late Show a few weeks ago you might of seen her?

    She's from England and frequently appears on 'This Morning' in England.


    You are better off not watching her, she is a disgrace!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 226 ✭✭oak5548


    I dont know who she is :eek:
    I can only presume she is either a, movie star, pop star, reality tv celeb, or some kind of loud mouthed tosser who people refer to as a "tv personality."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I think she's kinda brilliant. Professional troll of course, but still highly entertaining.

    There was an interview with her in the guardian recently. She comes across as someone with issues to say the least. I felt a bit sorry for her after reading it

  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm honestly considering banning threads on her. She's a professional troll. We don't take kindly to feeding the trolls around here - I know she's not a boardsie - but like all trolls she's poisoness and shouldn't be given any further exposure IMO.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Didn't know who she was till I saw her on Charlie Brookers screen wipe.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Her children didn't ask for her to be their mother so they should be left out of it.

    She's a rather shrill self-publicist with unshakable confidence in the self-serving thinking behind what passes for her opinions, with rather equine looks.

    Braying, horsey-faced know-it-all, basically.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,059 ✭✭✭WilyCoyote


    After reading the Grauniad article I think she is just your common or garden sociopath. What's the big deal? Most successful captains of industry, football managers, politicians are such like. Give the girl a break. Hit the remote.
    You don't have to watch/listen to her.
    She sounds a complete tit!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,798 ✭✭✭✭DrumSteve


    Wasn't she papped shagging some dude in a field.

    She might be a troll but she's a filthy troll.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,391 ✭✭✭fro9etb8j5qsl2


    Big warty trolls head on her giver her a sweeping brush and she'd take off on it....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,628 ✭✭✭Femme_Fatale


    She is one hundred per cent only a thing because of people giving her oxygen. Expressing anger about/towards her is exactly what she's looking for, why she's a guest on chat shows, and why she's known at all.

    Yes, I see the irony in my acknowledging her. :pac:

    I don't get this expression - the way it implies that if people get annoyed by something, it's because it resonates with them. But that's obviously not always the case when something annoys someone.
    She says stuff that's crafted to be as provocative as possible - it's the stuff that would annoy anyone; it doesn't have to hit a nerve (e.g. the Glasgow helicopter accident).

    But she's the one who whores herself to the media by choosing to say stuff that's as outrageous as possible. It is her fault, as well as the media's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,565 ✭✭✭K.Flyer


    T.V. programmes just have her on to see what worthless s#! te she will spout out next.
    Entertainment for some, improved ratings for others, I just pity her kids and the stick they might get.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 96 ✭✭RahenyD5


    She probably was a witch in a previous life, still has the looks!
