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?

We will agree to differ
The issue is soooo much bigger than that considering JK is getting death/rape/ doxing/ mutilation/arson/torture/threats to her kids for holding perfectly widely accepted sensible views

Watson is not only a traitor to the hand that fed her she is a traitor to her sex - and when the current fad runs its course and it is safe for her to do so she will swivel 180 like so many of her peers

A Peggy Mitchell slap for her please!!!

Show quote history

Although I would slap her, one thing that might slightly stop me is remembering that she exited the real world at the age of 9. 9. Insanely young.

I think I’m more annoyed at those who put this woman with zero experience of the real world and on a pedestal and use her as a mouthpiece as though she has anything of value to say to a single girl out there.

Anyone who parks in a disabled space without a blue badge.
People who don't know how to negotiate mini roundabouts.
People who misuse adverbs.
People who say something is 'quite unique'. It's either unique or it's not. It's an ultimate - you can't qualify it so don't.
Anyone who says, 'I don't know why teachers complain - they have all those holidays.'

You can appreciate the things someone has done for you while also disagreeing with their views. She's said herself that she disagrees with J K Rowling but values her as a person

David Tennant, what a twat. I’m embarrassed that I used to love him when he first played doctor who.

This is my vote too. The way he talks about women who disagree with gender woo is seriously off-putting and I used to LOVE him in doctor who

Anyone that grins and plays to the camera at her husband's funeral is a no from me, each to their own though.
