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??

That’s not why. Try again.

He's been openly abusive of women for standing up for their rights. That's what makes him a bad person.

Wrong.

Telling women to shut up and stop moaning about their rights, and safety, and private spaces being violated is why people (mostly women) went off him.

Get your facts straight!

no he didn't.

Tennant was having a back and forth with Kemi Badenouch and said while accepting an award at a ceremony "I don't wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up."
She came back and said: "I will not shut up. I will not be silenced by men who prioritise applause from Stonewall over the safety of women and girls.

“It’s a tiny bunch of little whinging fuckers who’re on the wrong side of history and they’ll all go away soon.”

David Tennent referring to women who want to protect single sex spaces

He didn't just say that though, he said he wished he would wake up and she didn't exist any more.

The "I don't wish ill of her" was him lamely trying to backtrack because he realised that it didn't sound great. The Standard is watering it down.

They mention it second hand near the end:

But business minister Kevin Hollinrake branded Tennnant’s personal attack on Ms Badenoch as “disgraceful”.
“He didn’t just say she should shut up he wished she didn’t exist,” he told ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

There is a video of the above speech to all you people denying that he said it, but i'm not ruining my carefully curated youtube by looking for it sorry😂.

The video is at the top of the Standard article re Kemi Badenoch.

You’re right, I was in a rush at bedtime and used the earlier shorter quote in the article, the full quote was:
He said in his acceptance speech: "If I'm honest I'm a little depressed by the fact that acknowledging that everyone has the right to be who they want to be and live their life how they want to live it as long as they're not hurting anyone else should merit any kind of special award or special mention because it's common sense, isn't it?
"It is human decency. We shouldn't live in a world where that is worth remarking on.
"However, until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn't exist any more - I don't wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up - whilst we do live in this world, I am honoured to receive this.’

no. they're just ordinary people who are very rich, and had specific parents. that's not a talent or a skill. they're no better or more special than anyone else.

Thanks @Whitewolf2. He's a misogynistic prick.

very vocal against the tories. which in my book is a good thing.

that and Robert Galbreith was the name of a horrific gay conversion therapy promoter.
are we supposed to belive she chose a pen name without so much as googling it?

Why do you think she would name herself after a gay conversion therapist? What's her motivation in doing this?

It really is he hasn't said anything nasty about women at all

No he has not do not lie i saw what he said and he never said anything nasty at all

He didn't tell women he was talking about kemi badenoch

He's been openly abusive, if you want to call it that, of KEMI BADENOCH, not of all women. And Badenoch is a pretty evil human being, and it's not because she's a woman; it's because she's a horrible hard-right-winger.. Robert Jenrick is just as bad, and Nigel Farage is worse, and they're not women!

I'm not a particular fan of DT and never was; but I don't like the implication that Kemi Badenoch is representative of women. And, apart from this very specific issue of single-sex spaces, she is no particular friend to women's safeguarding:

let alone women's rights in the broader sense (maternity pay, anyone?)

You r right he didn't i am a woman and there is nothing he said that is anti woman he said uts a Shane that in 2024 people don't just accept folks that are trans

As a woman myself sometimes wished she did shut up her opinions are disgusting but there we go

He's spot on to other countries in the west are not as bad as we r many are more progressive

Absolutely unfortunately some don't see that

So calling women standing up for their hard fought rights ‘winging fuckers’ isn’t nasty at all? Right oh then

And the misogyny of the trans rights movement is about as far from progressive as it gets.

He said that about kemi badenoch
