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??

The fact remains... Joanne has a career based on professionally identifying as gender ambiguous and a male.

She's happy to play around with pronouns when it suits her bank balance and ego.

This 100%! They are woke little sheeple

Anyone who doesn't agree with me can't POSSIBLY be thinking for themselves!
It's because they're woke! Sheeple!
Lol, listen to yourself.

I do find her current anti tory stance quite intriguing when she was working for them 15 years ago https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/feb/01/carol-vorderman-maths-conservatives
Does no one else remember her excruciating appearance on BBCQT at the time?

Actually I thought of one so obvious that I'd forgotten it. Liz Truss. She used to seem halfway sane for a Tory, 10 years ago

And David Cameron. I liked him til he did Brexit and then resigned whistling.

She's happy to play around with pronouns when it suits her bank balance and ego.

Do you think she's trans? You should really do better then. Don't be gatekeeping now.

Well they don't have to be beholden to JK Rowling forever, but to stab her in the back and throw her under the bus, just so they can appear 'woke' and 'right on' and popular with the lefties and the luvvies is pathetic and nasty.

Emma Watson saying 'to all of the witches .......but one...' like she said on stage a couple of years ago was nasty. She clearly meant she is not acknowledging the woman who is the reason she is famous.

Emma Watson would be nothing without JK Rowling, as she has little acting talent. She is so sickeningly rude and ungrateful. (And the others from Harry Potter are too!)

No, I think she's a hypocrite. Hope this clears it up x

Not really - acceptance without exception x

"little brat"
She's a grown adult woman in her thirties.
For feminist viewpoints the "GC" stance is anything but feminist.

"Trans kids"? No child should be told they've been "born in the wrong body" and the way to sort it out is to take drugs and have surgery. It's wrong and thankfully increasingly discredited. Any person in the public eye who promotes this is deeply irresponsible.

She is still a little brat. And an ungrateful one at that. Her attitude towards JK Rowling is disgusting.

You keep banging on about her being a 'grown woman in her thirties.........' 🙄

WTAF has that got to do with anything? You can be a grown woman in your 30s, and still be rude and immature and ungrateful, and yes, a brat!

Meghan Markle.

When she got engaged to Harry I thought she was going to be good for him and the royals. I did think it was odd he went for a older divorcee though.

I have been with a older controlling person and i can spot a controller miles away and that is what she is.

Her first husband seems a really calm dignified man i bet he has been offered hundreds of thousands for his story.

Could you please quote her exact words in which she says something "unhinged" about trans people?

Hmm thought not.

How are you a little brat in your thirties?
You're an adult.
You're being really obtuse pretending it's not meant as a patronising put down, especially in the context of a thread that's referring to her as a child.

If you look up an a dictionary what the word bigot actually means, rather than what you think it means, you will realize immediately that you are one.

Because it means somebody who cannot tolerate other people having a different opinion to them.

I used to think Prince Harry was a decent, down-to-earth sort who did something really good with the Invictus Games. Turns out he gazes so far into his own navel that he doesn't seem to appreciate that he's one of the most privileged people on the planet, or that slagging off your own family for cash makes you a bit of a twat.

Bollocks - she has a career based on writing good books that people want to read. The name on the cover of the books is irrelevant. Would you say the same about the Brontes, George Elliot, PD James, AS Byatt etc.

You appear to copying and pasting from your previous posts.

It's rather tedious.

I can't be bothered with you anymore. Don't talk to me again. I won't respond.

Exactly this. JK is enormously popular - and respected across the world. And she has sold millions of books, and she fights for the rights of women.

Some posters don't seem to like her fighting for - and supporting womens rights.

I wonder why? Quite the puzzle isn't it? 😆

I always though the JK was to mimic JRR which again would lead one to suppose the author was male

😂
Tatty bye then

Yeah, bit harsh that one.
He did go to rehab several times.
If he felt well enough physically and emotionally to go to work in between treatments/when he was sober, how exactly is it his workmates fault?
You can't be held responsible for someone else's addiction and behaviour.

Isn't it supposed to be "brat summer" or whatever and that's great? Even Kamala Harris got in on that cringily, like Theresa May dancing up to the podium that time.

I agree for the same reasons..

Emma Thompson, Meryl Streep.. used to love the latter as an actress, now I can't even stand her.

Definitely Blake lively after watching her dreadfully rude interview with the journo.

Robert de Niro, the idiot. Numerous reasons for him.

I gained respect for Ricky Gervais after his Oscar speech.

Gained respect for JK Rowling.

Edit to add, I’m going a fondness for Taylor Swift and Elon Musk too (despite some of his wacky ways), despite never being keen on either.

Another shocker. I used to despise Pauline Hanson but even that’s changing now.
