To wonder which celebrities you’d gladly give a metaphorical slap, if there were no consequences?

Not endorsing violence obviously but if it were just a harmless slap on a fantasy level - no consequences, no scandal, just vibes, who would be on your list?

Mine would be:

  • Trump - not technically a celeb but come on.
  • Diddy - no notes needed.
  • Jay Z - eternally smug and cheated on Beyoncé? Slap.
  • Kanye - not even sure where to start.
  • Chris Brown - this one’s personal, we all know why.
  • Kendall Jenner - something about her is just rude.

AIBU to think some people’s energy is just slap-worthy?

Also fed up with older woman and their plastic surgery. Bloody kylie minogue looking like my 17 year old at 57. I actually think it’s pernicious as normal women simply don’t look like that over 50 and it’s rammed down our throats as normal when it’s bloody not. The bar is now entirely unachievable

@GarlicBreadStan Regardless of what JK has or has not said, Expressing that women have rights to sex based protections is not hate. Attempting to remove or circumvent these protections is however misogyny.

All four leads in The Holiday. All so irritating. They make a fluffy festive film unwatchable for me.

Womens rights to sex based protections matter. That is not hate.

Just have a look at this article. She does say some very transphobic things

A timeline of JK Rowling's anti-trans shift

The 'Harry Potter' author's comments about the trans community are ongoing

Trans people DO get hate. Where have you been hiding all these years? I'm somewhere under the trans umbrella (but not FTM or MTF trans) and I understand that everyone has their views. However, as soon as someone starts being hateful and honestly dangerous to the LGBTQ community, then yeah, I'll call them out on it because why does it matter so much that people identify differently to the majority of the population? If people are that bothered about what's in other people's pants, then that says more about them

Bit niche but Paris Munroe. (Kerrang radio presenter.) Goes on and on about being trans/non binary, autistic, her ADHD and anxiety. Luckily she only does the weekends so it's easier to avoid her, although she covered for Loz Guest one week (he does weekday afternoons and he's my favourite 😅) and I was sick of her by the end of it. (She's female, to remove any doubt.)

I haven't seen Sandi Toksvig mentioned, did a book about important women and included a man.

The other people I want to slap have been mentioned.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 15/12/2025 09:40

Kirstie Allsop
Amanda Holden
Lorraine Kelly
Alison Hammond
Nigel Farage obviously, though slapping is too good for him
Richard Osman
Probably too many others to mention…

Edited as I changed my mind I don't want to slap anyone. But I would like to bury Vladimir Putin up to his neck in quick-setting cement.

Probably from the hips down - somewhere in Africa where there are vultures -

ShesGotItAll · 14/12/2025 20:12

Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.

Jeremy Clarkson

Nigel Farage

David Beckham

James Corden

Pedro Pascal

Dave Grohl

Holly Willoughby

Eddie Izzard

Most, possibly all of the loose women

Miriam Margolyes

Lorraine Kelly

I'll definitely join the queue on your first 3. Untalented ingrates!

NagathaCrispy · 15/12/2025 09:30

Claudia Winkleman - that bloody fringe ARGH!!!
Donald Trump - no explanation needed, just vile on every level
Kier Starmer
Simon Cowell
People who abuse blue badge and child parking in supermarkets

....... I'm sure I'll think of lots more later ...... but they'll do for a start.

Because she has turned on JK Rowling in the most horrific way - the woman who launched her whole career- and while mildly engaging as a child actor, is an insipid adult handmaiden, champagne socialist, peddler of luxury beliefs, crap adult actress twat !

Meghan Markle and her dumbkopf husband.

Whereareyourshoes · 15/12/2025 09:08

All celebrities who use slurs against women while claiming to be feminists.
All those celebrities that think it's ok to exploit women's bodies through surrogacy.
All those virtue signalling celebrities who mindlessly support making it easier for male people to access spaces where women and girls are vulnerable.
All those unable to comprehend that being a woman is not about being feminine and 'being kind' and being support humans for sad men and boys.

fingfong · 15/12/2025 08:43

I'm really just adding to this thread to make my place - laughing my head off with most of the selections, and wholeheartedly agreeing! Can I add that creepy, smelly looking one with the hair from bake-off.

She was voted mum of the year before!!! It was absolutely ages ago but it shocked me lol

Me too. But Peter Andre won celeb dad of the year and he needs a metaphorical slap too. Nasty piece of work.

Katie Price. Her behaviour over the years just enrages me. Her kids are going to grow up with so many issues, that is unforgivable of her to damage them the way she has.

Many of the aforementioned people - plus Gwyneth Paltrow.

Kate Winslet
Judi Dench
Emma Thompson
Cate Blanchett

Probably the least annoying people and come across as intelligent and thoughtful. Would love to know who you like.

TheChicDreamer · 15/12/2025 08:05

David Beckham - smarmy smug twat
Victoria Beckham - takes herself waaaay too seriously
Amanda Holden - no need to elaborate. Dick head.
Nigel Farage - ditto
Trump - ditto
Musk - ditto
Most ‘influencers’ - yaaaawwn
Katie Price - irresponsible twat
Emma Watson - for reasons already outlined
Jimmy Carr - stupid donkey laugh that’s clearly fake and not at all funny
Kate Beckinsale - sort yourself out
Lily Allen - ditto. Just go and live quietly somewhere and grow up.

PaulineScrambledPhones · 15/12/2025 08:05

Brock Lesner shudder

There are a few people I wouldn’t give a slap because I dislike them, but to try and slap some sense into them! Rosie Ramsey, for instance.

Orville

Ha, I am a bit older and don’t know quite a few of the names on this thread, so need to google a few. But yes to this! I never found Orville sweet or cute. He was extremely irritating. Presuming I am thinking about the right Orville.😏
