What is woke OP?

QueenBitch666 · 06/10/2024 13:46

I didn't have respect for anonymous slebs anyway
I do have a deep hatred of David Tennant now

MaitreKarlsson · 06/10/2024 13:48

It's decades-old now but I used to love Kylie Minogue and think she was quite a good egg
Until she flew to Russia to perform privately for a bunch of oligarchs when they were already ripping off the state and complicit in backing Putin despite terrible crimes.
Just about the money, clearly. She already had plenty.
She wasn't the only one but the one I felt disappointed in.

After what we know now about Matthew Perry, everyone involved in Friends.

They all knew he was very ill and should have had leave from work to recover but they all prioritised making their millions.

Now he's dead.

F* them.

David Tennant. I've always loved basically anything he's in (apart from Dr Who) and always thought he seemed like a decent bloke. His stance on women's rights put me right off. Twat.

Yep, this.

I don't think I respect any of them in the first place 🤔

Exactly.

Definitely David Tennant and Sandi Toskvig both of whom I used to admire very much.

Same.

BloodandGlitter · 06/10/2024 13:54

Jack Black for throwing Kyle Gass under the bus. What a dickhead.

Pretty proud to be "woke" though. Imagine preffering to be "asleep" to hatred. Gross.

QueenBitch666 · 06/10/2024 13:55

I have acquired massive disdain for any woke cretin throwing women under the bus

SabreIsMyFave · 06/10/2024 13:56

lifeturnsonadime · 06/10/2024 13:45

All of the 'willing to throw women under the bus' ones. Many mentioned above, but in addition the Harry Potter 'child' stars who've turned their back on JKR for supporting women, Stephen King, Phillip Pullman, Margaret Atwood.

Yeah I agree. I am full of loathing for the Harry Potter 'stars' who have turned their back on JK Rowling, especially Little Miss SmugWoke Emma Watson. Just because JK had the 'temerity' to say a woman can't have a penis ...

JK is the main reason these young people became rich and famous. Dreadful little oiks - all of them.

Toseland · 06/10/2024 13:57

Sandi Toksvig - Imagine running a political party called Women's Equality Party and then placing and promoting men's rights above women's rights - I cannot understand her

UmbrellaEllaEllaElla · 06/10/2024 13:58

Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe
Beyonce
Blake Likely and Ryan Reynolds

What did David Tennant do?

He described gender atheists as ‘a tiny bunch of little whinging fuckers’. Nasty man.

lemonlavendar · 06/10/2024 13:31

Oprah Winfrey, after the Megan and Harry interview.
Holly Willoughby for not sticking by a friend.
Harry and Megan.

100% agree

Underyourthumb · 06/10/2024 14:04

Thoroughly hate Johnny Depp, even though I adored him growing up

Spasisters · 06/10/2024 14:06

Oh no what have Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds done! Literally said to my DH yesterday if something bad where to come out about RR I would probably be the most disappointed because I think him and BL come across so lovely!

Changingplace · 06/10/2024 14:06

Dave Grohl for cheating on his wife and announcing it by trying to make out he’s being a supportive father to the baby his OW has had and has clearly only done this because he’s been found out.

twilightermummy · 06/10/2024 14:09

William and Kate. They seem so bitchy, hard-faced, miserable, grasping and fake. Of course I wouldn't wish cancer upon anyone, let alone a young mum.

Morrissey - that one kills me!

I do find Leonardo DiCaprio's behaviour with women odd however, he is still my favourite actor and I find him mesmerising to watch. I was telling my children yesterday that he's been my lifelong love since 11 haha.

ThePoshUns · 06/10/2024 14:09

David Tennant
Emma Watson
Daniel wotsit who played Harry Potter. And owes his whole career and fortune to JKR but happily threw her under the bus.
Huw Edwards. No explanation needed.

MyStylish40s · 06/10/2024 14:11

Ronaldo, because he used a surrogate to become a father. I can’t get my head around a man removing a baby from its mother.

Maybe work was good for him at that time?

I would never blame anyone for someone else’s behaviour or addiction

I agree. Really disappointed in him. I used to love Caitlin Moran but I wish she'd stand up for women more where the trans issue is concerned. She's been strangely silent on it. I think I lost respect for her after her book about how hard blokes have it!

worcesterpear · 06/10/2024 14:14

Carol Vorderman
agree with Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson
Gary Linekar

Not that I particularly respected any of these people in the first place, but Carol Vorderman seemed like a reasonable person back in her Countdown days.

Completely agree.

Hate celebrities who preach their politics or push their own agendas and use their position to do it, there is only one side to be on according to them and then they vilify anyone who doesn’t agree instead of accepting people can have different opinions.

As a PP said, those preaching holier than thou usually have so much money and what they comment on doesn’t affect them like it dies everyone else.

Entertainment is no place for ideology.
