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??

He's been openly abusive of KEMI BADENOCH, not of all women

It's not just Kemi Badenoch he's been open abusive of but also women speaking up for women's sex based rights in general. HTH

He said that about kemi badenoch

No, not that time he didn't.

So she’s plural is she? One person isn’t a bunch or they. He said it in an interview - nothing to do with KB.

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

I had no respect for the following people in the past: Dua Lipa, Chris Martin, Damon Albarn, Charlotte Church etc. I now have negative respect for the vocal celebrity pro Palestine supporters at Glastonbury music festival earlier this year. It's up to you who you support but there was no mention of the victims butchered at the Nova music festival last October. What if terrorists had attacked Glastonbury, would these same celebs have supported the terrorists torturing, raping and murdering festival goers? I despair of the human race sometimes.
I have some respect for Noel Gallagher who when asked what his thoughts on Palestine were, replied that he wasn't interested in woke shite. Or words to that effect, a smart answer as he didn't say what his true thoughts were and he maintained his Oasis Noel Gallagher persona.

Yes indeed. The TRAs are the most misogynistic of the lot. If you DARE say you value womens rights over the rights of transgender 'women' you get transphobe and bigot yelled in your face. Frankly it's white noise now. IDGAF if people say this quite honestly. I care more about the rights, and the safety and welfare of women (and the protection of their safe spaces,) than the rights of transgender 'women.'

I can't believe in 2024 that some folk ignore the fact that women have fought tirelessly for their rights for centuries, and walked through flood and fire to get their (well deserved) rights. These TRAs want to shit all over women, derail them, disrespect them, and fuck them over, (and let the rights of transgender 'women' trump the rights of women.) It's despicable.

Also, quite a number of celebrities seem to have transgender or non-binary children. I wonder why that is.

Hard to argue with Noel in this one - "It’s getting a bit woke now, that place, and a bit kind of preachy and a bit virtue-signalling. I don’t like it in music — little fing idiots waving flags around and making political statements and bands taking the stage and saying, ‘Hey guys, isn’t war ­terrible, yeah? Let’s all boo war. Fk the Tories man,’ and all that.
“It’s like, look — play your f*ing tunes and get off.”

He’s not at all popular with supporters, we’ve got season tickets and I’d say he’s the player who is moaned about the most during games. Many have lost all patience with him.

He had a good season a couple of years ago, coincidentally while he was engaged to his childhood sweetheart, and was given an enhanced new contract and soon after that he split with his girlfriend and now looks like he’d rather be anywhere else than playing football.

Earlier this year he missed training due to ‘illness’ but then it came to light that he’d actually been in Belfast and had been clubbing until the early hours and drinking heavily.

I’ve heard it said by people who know of him that he’s nothing like how he’s portrayed in public, and not in a good way.

no, it was in a pub. he was buying some drinks, and got out the most ridiculous wad of £20 notes. he was also generally acting like a big fancy dick to everyone. it was at the mayday celebrations, so the pub was packed to the rafters, and he was acting like he was something fancy that everyone should look up to, rather than just enjoying the day.

I know this is a joke post, but my husband once saw Noel Edmunds in public once, as he was passing said "hey, Noel Edmunds!" and his response was to tell him to fuck off.
my husband is one of the most ridiculously smiley, approachable and friendly people you could hope to meet. he wasn't harassing him, he just cheerfully said his name.

in contrast, we recently met Anne Hegerty at a tourist attraction she was also visiting (twice. once inside. once as we were walking back to the car park) and she was an absolutely charming lady, we asked how she'd enjoyed her day and she said she'd had a lovely time, and hadn't been there before. she came over as a really nice person.

^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?

This is just silly fake news. As pp said, it doesn't actually make sense. Do you realise how many people called Galbraith have ever lived? It's just something you heard on Reddit or Twitter.

I hope all of these people that hate him for standing up against her are happy to go without their "excessive" maternity leave if they have more children, and are going to pay back any of that "excessive" maternity leave they have received in the past. seeing as she's supposedly so pro women.

I feel more confident that David Tennant cares about me as a woman than she does.

I still love Harry Potter, watched all the films at the cinema as an adult as they first came out I'm old😭 and read the book in 1997 I think it' was?
I just separate the art from the artist.
Otherwise nobody would read watch, or like anything anymore 😁

Oh not this crap again. Do you lot just parrot whatever shite you see on Twitter? No one had heard of Bobby Heath (as he was known) until some bloke with a vendetta against JKR did some digging and wrote a crap article.

So is it right what that poster said then?!
As all your post seems to say is "well nobody would have known anything if somebody hasn't written an article!"😳

I’m not arguing you, I agree completely. However, I think they do see themselves as superior

I can dislike both David Tennant and Kemi Badenoch. Doesn't matter which side they're on, they've both pissed me off recently.

No it's not right, because nobody had heard of him. 🙄

So is it right what that poster said then?!

That JKR deliberately named her pseudonym years ago after an obscure Scottish gay conversion therapist? Does it seem likely to you?

But so what if she did, what do they suppose it ‘means’? I’m finding it hard to give a sht 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

They think it means she's homophobic, because they don't like her speaking up for women and girls.

It ‘proves’ she’s a hateful misogynistic old bigot who thinks all trans people should die - apparently 🤦‍♀️

Rather than a woman who stands up for vulnerable women and puts her money where her mouth is

That doesn't even begin to make sense.
Just because nobody (what, anybody?!) had heard of him, that means it can't be true?!

Sophistry. It means, what can't be true exactly? Not, did this obscure person exist, but did/would JKR, somehow in the knowledge of this, choose it as a pseudonym. Does that sound plausible to you, or not?

Straight from the horses mouth

I chose Robert because it’s one of my favourite men’s names, because Robert F Kennedy is my hero and because, mercifully, I hadn’t used it for any of the characters in the Potter series or The Casual Vacancy.
Galbraith came about for a slightly odd reason. When I was a child, I really wanted to be called ‘Ella Galbraith’, and I’ve no idea why. I don’t even know how I knew that the surname existed, because I can’t remember ever meeting anyone with it. Be that as it may, the name had a fascination for me. I actually considered calling myself L A Galbraith for the Strike series, but for fairly obvious reasons decided that initials were a bad idea.
Odder still, there was a well-known economist called J K Galbraith, something I only remembered by the time it was far too late. I was completely paranoid that people might take this as a clue and land at my real identity, but thankfully nobody was looking that deeply at the author’s name.

And what has that got to do with trans people? They’re not gay after all.. are they 👀. Nope. No no. The poor children are being told to trans the gay away themselves. It doesn’t make any sense…Oh.. wait..Is what they are doing a form of gay conversion therapy, maybe that’s why they’re sensitive to the name. When actually we know jkr knew nothing about the guy.
