Her and her husband are disgusting. I hope her kids leave when they're old enough and never look back. No sympathy at all.

Btw I love the carpet

"Why should Monroe be out of pocket?"

She didn't need to sue her in the first place. KH had already made a prick of herself by refusing to apologise or delete the tweet after her mistake was pointed out. JM could have just left it to stand and walked away with the moral victory anyway.

There wouldn't have been anything offensive or libellous in KH's tweet had she have sent it to the person (Laurie Penny) who wrote the goady article the tweet was referencing.

Revolting home for a revolting person.

She's done this all to herself; she began her career by being deliberately provocative and ending it in the same way. Which makes me smile, really, because it's almost proof that karma's a thing.

Why should JM have walked away? Too often shitty people in the public eye with shitty opinions aren't challenged or questioned. JM went up in my estimation for publicly taking a stand against KH. Credit where it's due, JM stood up to a bully and that should always be applauded.

ChoudeBruxelles · 19/01/2018 18:18

It’s described as a retreat from London so I imagine she has a house there too. If I poke myself in the eye it’ll water but that’s as close to tears as I can get

"Why should JM have walked away? Too often shitty people in the public eye with shitty opinions aren't challenged or questioned."

KH wasn't expressing a shitty opinion in this case.

If JM had made a stand when KH was posting offensive opinions about refugees or obese people then it'd be different, and we'd all be cheering her on.

DeleteOrDecay · 19/01/2018 18:32

She's made a career out of being vile to people, it was bound to come back and bite her at some point.

I don't really like JM but why shouldn't she stand up for herself? KH had the chance to apologise but she didn't, she brought this on herself.

Tarraleah · 19/01/2018 18:34

I agree, JM was right. Why should she not make it clear the original statement had nothing to do with her? By keeping quiet, she would make it sound like she was in the wrong.

KH could have just apologised, a simple tweet "sorry, I quoted the wrong person". She will still have more than £750k to buy another house after this one! (even after legal costs, stamp duty etc)

goldengimbas · 19/01/2018 18:37

Can't believe she has the cheek to judge people about things yet she has that decor. Tasteless

BashStreetKid · 19/01/2018 18:41

But she could never have made such an effective stand, could she, because none of that could give rise to libel proceedings. Monroe stood up to a bully, very successfully. Good for her.

dingdongdigeridoo · 19/01/2018 18:41

I can see her fucking off to America and becoming a commentator on Fox News. She's got just the right brand of bile.

AwakeCantSleep · 19/01/2018 18:45

I drive past there often. I had no idea Katie Hopkins lives there. It's a beautiful location, very desirable within Exeter.

AwakeCantSleep · 19/01/2018 18:46

But no, I wouldn't call it a mansion.

LizzieSiddal · 19/01/2018 18:55

Well thedecoration and furniture of that house are just like it’s owner.

Absolutely no soul.

I have zero sympathy for her as she’s a nasty, bigoted gobshite.

Well, thank fuck you decided to let us all know. Hmm

Elledouble · 19/01/2018 19:03

Carpet in the bathroom - vom! I do like the music room though...

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 19/01/2018 19:09

At least Katie knows how to solve her problems now. A spell caster.

FluffyWuffy100 · 19/01/2018 19:13

That’s not a mansion

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 19/01/2018 19:21

Hot damn! Is the woman colour-blind

Hygge · 19/01/2018 19:42

I had to look up what had happened, but not only did she tweet about JM when she meant someone else, she apparently deleted that tweet but posted another to ask what the difference was between JM and the other person, Penny someone, and calling Penny an 'irritant' and JM a 'social anthrax'.

So after her mistake, she pushed it further.

I think JM was right to take this to court. It wasn't just a mistake, there was a deliberate insult after making the mistake that implied JM supported something she doesn't, and if JM had ignored it then the mistake wouldn't have been corrected and people could still be thinking that she was responsible for the comments KM attributed to her.

angelnix · 19/01/2018 20:19

Love that Rightmove highlight that it's close to the hospital......because most NHS workers can afford a £950,000 "mansion" ...........misses the point entirely

MagicWillHappen · 19/01/2018 20:25

Didn't all this happen aagggesss ago?

I'd imagine the costs are long ago paid and KH selling her house is unrelated.

LizzieSiddal · 19/01/2018 20:34

I don’t think the JM case is the only reason for the sale.

Remember she also lost her jobs with LBC due to her disgusting remark about a ‘final solution’ for assault seekers and her job with the Daily Hate.

You two what you sow!
