Have we talked about this Katie Hopkins woman?

[katietornado]

I stumbled on an article about her today and had to look up who she is.  British former reality show contestant who now writes some kind of shitty column for some shitty tabloid.

The TL;DR version of this is that she decided fat people are lazy and could easily lose weight if they would just stop being so lazy.  So she put on 20 KG just so she could take it off, and "prove" this laziness.  And she's been a miserable C U Next Tuesday about it all.  Here's one brilliant piece of journalism on it...

Katie Hopkins breaks down in tears over weight gain challenge: ‘I hate fat people for making me do this’



Katie Hopkins has blamed “fat people” for “making” her gain and attempt to lose over three stone for a controversial documentary.

The former Apprentice contestant revealed the footage on Monday's This Morning, and spoke about the weight she has gained for the programme Katie Hopkins: Journey to Fat and Back.

Having eaten 6500 calories a day for three months, the former Apprentice contestant has gained 3.5 stone. With characteristic sensitivity, she previously explained on This Morning that she planned to deliberately put on the weight to prove that the overweight should “stop blaming everyone else for problems they can control”.

In the clip from the documentary, she cries as she recites what she has eaten in one day, including: cereal with chocolate milk, a donut, two pieces of toast, pasta, ten pieces of shortbread, two cans of drink, a jacked potato, chocolate cake and a tube of Pringles.

“It’s a lot of eating in a day,” Hopkins says in the footage.

“This is a stupid project. I hate fat people for making me do this...” she adds, to which her husband replies: “Well, it was your idea.”

Hopkins, who has previously said “fat people need to look in the mirror, look at themselves, and realise it’s their fault”, told presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby that experience has been emotionally draining.

“Nothing in my life has made me cry, not you two, no anybody else,” said the TV personality infamous for her vitriolic outbursts, adding: “I am the witch with the heart of stone.

“That clip is pretty harsh to watch, I did look a bit like a demented chicken. I thought, 'you know what bird? There are more people with more problems that you, stop snivelling'”


Hopkins added: “I’m not lucky to be skinny… it’s really hard to be fat. Carrying this around is exhausting. Feeling my stomach sitting on top of my legs is exhausting.”

“If you’re happy with yourself when you look in the mirror, that’s fine by me – but if not have you got excuses?” she asked.

TLC, the channel airing the two-part documentary, has appeared to distance itself from Hopkins' aims.

"This documentary will confront her attitudes and put her beliefs to the test, by following her own physical and emotional journey as she gains and loses weight, whilst exploring the broader issues of body image in our society," they said in a statement.

The best thing about her is the day she went off on naming children and how children with city names (brooklyn, etc) were so trashy and the news person was like wait, isn't your child named India? And she was like well yes, but that doesn't count, it isn't related to a location. Ha.

So she's the British version of Ann Coulter? Say whatever shocking/insane thing you can to get more press?

This is what I want to know.

Also, how the hell does her husband stay married to that?

I think it's supposed to say jacket potato.

Jacket potato is a baked potato

Is it wrong that I am hoping this weight gain leads to years if yo-yo dieting?

If I'm going to down 6500 calories a day, I can think of more delicious options than the shit she's peddling.

She's a one trick pony. She's horrible.
