What famous people have you lost respect for?

[FeetupTvon]

There are currently quite a few I have lost respect for, who are yours and why??

This is a great thread. Let's all dwell on our negative emotions, you know, really reinforce those negative thought patterns, and get that physical stress response kicking in - increased heart rate, blood pressure. Great

Why?

I think they’d disagree with you on the celebrity part. They and most British people see them as royalty and public servants.

Lots if apparently "clever" men are really confused poor dears. Alastair Campbell I'm looking at YOU!!!

What's Carol done?‽!

Bloody hell maybe David Tennant was reading some of the interminable circular discussions about trans people on Mumsnet going on and on and on and on, round and round and round about trans/cis/bathrooms/hard won this that and the other when he said what he said.

I'm as GC as they come, but seriously, can't you all just piss off back to FWR and have your little argument over there? There's a reason most of us have that echo chamber hidden. Because listening to you all squabbling over trans vs women is BORING.

Justin Timberlake after the cheating on wife allegations, the Britney revelations and then the drink driving.

I'm sure he couldn't give two shits about my opinion of him.

But, in my maladaptive daydreams, I was in love with him for a while...but he's just your everyday egotistical cheater.

💯This 100%! ^

Feel free to not read this thread as well then. People have opinions and are entitled to voice them when and where they see fit, whether you find it boring or not.

@AutumnalCosiness it's not that she's done anything particularly bad compared to some on this thread, I just find her quite mercenary and exploitative towards older people with her adverts on ITV3 for life insurance, and view her as similar to Gary Linekar with her political opinions. She is entitled to have them, but seems to think her opinion is more valid/important than anyone else's. I remember on election night, she was on a programme where she gave some sort of speech against the tories, which seemed rehearsed and full of faux outrage. I also dislike her cosmetic surgery (nothing personal).

I think the poster's list was of the few celebs she DOES respect...

The thread has the potential to be interesting. Why shouldn't i read it? It would be interesting if those who just want to argue round in circles about trans/women's rights would just piss off, anyway. It's always the same argument every single time anyway.

Read it, don't read it, up to you. You can't tell other people, who were already posting on it, what they can and can't post. Well you can, but expect them to tell you to jog on.

Errrm, I'm pretty sure the women defending women weren't the ones who started all the nastiness. It was the 'cis women' calling us all bigots, for DARING to say that we respect JK Rowling for her stance on womens rights.

How rude are you?!

The chances of me - and many others on here 'pissing off to FWR' now (as you so eloquently put it!) are ZERO! How DARE you tell us how to post? Who do you think you are?

!

I thought that at first too but then I reread the first sentence, which says, "I can't think, at the moment anyway, of many 'celebs' I have any respect for." followed by a list?

Exactly! I don't know who the F that poster thinks she is! Fecking cheek!

100%

Funny how she's built a career basically identifying as a man.

Someone who wouldn't mind if your boring trans debates went back to where they're supposed to be. Hidden away in FWR.

The thread is still interesting, it's you who is moaning about how boring people who are voicing their opinions are, womens rights are important, so people will speak about it whenever and wherever they like. I and others won't just piss off because you say so.

The debate affects women generally in society and therefore it’s a bigger discussion that just being hidden away. It’s something all women need to be aware of imo.

Women’s rights being eroded and the issues regarding safeguarding have the potential to impact all women so it’s a debate we need to get out there.

Well they're not going there. They're staying here. Sux 4 U.

No she hasn't. Daft comment. 🙄

The majority of her works (including all the Harry Potters) were JK Rowling.

NOTHING implied this was a man FFS.

Alexander Armstrong and Kirstie Allsopp due to their support for fox hunting

Oh dear. That has totally wrecked my previously good opinion of Gareth.

Yeah this. ^ How rude. Telling posters to 'piss off.'
