KH accepted a fake award and looks very silly! This made me laugh a lot. Enjoy. Or don't. If you are a fan of KH then I guess IABU. I don't really care though!

I can not believe what just came out of her mouth!!!!

viques · 30/01/2020 23:53

Brilliant. They gave her the rope, she tied it around her own neck and jumped.

The bits of her speech that were audible were horrendous. To hear such savagery makes you realise that the people who authorised and justified Nazi concentration camps, the killing fields of Cambodia, ethnic cleansing in Ruanda and Bosnia and all the other inhumanities that we have seen in the world, are still among us. If someone gave that woman a uniform and a gun she would be as happy as a pig in shit.

The good thin is that her stupidity in thinking anyone would give her an award will haunt her forever. All anyone will have to do is ask her if she polishes her trophy .

56Marshmallow · 30/01/2020 23:56

Totally deserved and I'm absolutely horrified by her 'speech'.

An utterly brilliant prank!

SunnySideDownBriefly · 30/01/2020 23:58

Definitely something shady going on with the editing - she wouldn't slag off people with epilepsy after her awful experiences and I have met her in this context.

Regardless of this, she's inciting hate and for that I think she's disgusting. You wonder if she has any conscience about the people she could be influencing.

Nikhedonia · 31/01/2020 00:02

Hmm, I actually thought it was quite cruel, but the speech she made at the end was awful. It does appear to have been edited, would be interested in seeing the full version.

GFJoe · 31/01/2020 00:05

I'd be interested in seeing the whole version too.

EmeraldShamrock · 31/01/2020 00:06

This is such a cop out. People who make this argument appear to value honesty above all the other traits that make society actually work properly
I didn't say I agreed with her. I think she is heartless and crass. In RL I avoid those who feel the need to give an opinion on everything.
I'm very much a MYOB person.

LolaDarkdestroyer · 31/01/2020 00:06

She's a fucking sick. Wether it's an act or not you have to be a special kind of fucked up to even think of this shit.

kateandme · 31/01/2020 00:07

can we share this with her on social media so alllllll he followers and everyone sees it?is it legal to do so?can someone tell me for deff not just what they think.any lawers?

Pls add your votes to this thread on the same topic. Hadn’t seen this thread before starting mine but surprised by the number of YABU votes and want to explore further how representative it is!

illandBored · 31/01/2020 00:13

kateandme if it’s not illegal for her to say this kind of crap then I’m not sure what would be considered illegal after that. Argh!

AutumnRose1 · 31/01/2020 00:29

“ she wouldn't slag off people with epilepsy after her awful experiences and I have met her in this context”

But she’s happy to say all sorts of evil shit about people.

kateandme · 31/01/2020 00:32

she is an awful human being and i hatr saying things like that.she makes me feel sickened every time isee her tweets.please make her ban permanant.and right before brexit.golden! hers is not freedom of speech its horrrid horrid stuff

FoamingAtTheUterus · 31/01/2020 00:51

Her speech at the end 😳😳😳

I'm seriously concerned that this woman is raising a disabled child. I can just imagine the poison she drips in her poor, daughter's ear. :(

Sagradafamiliar · 31/01/2020 00:51

I just feel gutted for her kids watching that. They'd have been left with childcare while mummy supposedly collected an award just so these jumped up youtubers could pull their prank.

Oulu · 31/01/2020 00:54

Of course she's not honest. She says whatever she thinks will have the greatest shock factor, and she's getting increasingly desperate.

Oulu · 31/01/2020 00:59

@Sagradafamiliar, no-one forced Hopkins to accept the award. She clearly welcomed the opportunity to spout her repulsive views.

And how do you know she left them with childcare? For all you know, they're with their father.

I feel a hell of a lot more sorry for her daughters for having a mother who publicly pronounced that they weren't good-looking.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/01/2020 01:02

The comments about autism must have been edited. Isn't one of her children Autistic Confusedo r am I thinking of someone else.

However while yes most of the time her mouth is bloody vermin, but. if I had to swear under Oath. Some things she has said in the past I have found my self nodding in agreement. There again i.guess even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I don't think it'll (The fake award) bother her though. She'll just laugh it off.
Yes she can give it, but she can also take it. I highly doubt she'll be crying into her pillow.

Sagradafamiliar · 31/01/2020 01:02

They were probably feeling proud of her waving her off to collect it. Yes I feel sorry for them for every reason you can list. Note that I feel gutted for the children, not her.

Sagradafamiliar · 31/01/2020 01:04

I agree the whole 'speech' was fake/doctored, obviously so.
I'm dangerously close to sounding like I'm defending her so I'll leave it there Grin

CatherineOfAragonsPomegranate · 31/01/2020 01:06

I was going to say 'That's not nice, and we ought to be purposely better' or other, but her speech!!

Now she used to be deliberately provocative before and I always felt it was part intentional shock, but I actually feel very disturbed and nauseous listening to that speech. What's happened?! Although heavily edited, the kids in the playground bit was enough. Once a person comes out with stuff like that so easily - it means they've been in a nasty echo chamber listening to worse.

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 31/01/2020 01:10

Shes slagged off children with autism before even though one of her dds is autistic

Same with children named after places even though one of her dds is

Anything's fair game to her

ExhaustedGrinch · 31/01/2020 01:15

First started watching and my initial thoughts were that I don't think people should stoop so low as to humiliate someone in this way, why stoop to her level?

Then I watched her comments at the end, she is even more horrific than I thought she was and yes the 'prank' was well deserved!

CatherineOfAragonsPomegranate · 31/01/2020 01:15

Some things she has said in the past I have found my self nodding in agreement.

So have I, and I am in no way her target audience. Not her cultural demographic so I can only tolerate small doses. I listen for inoculation purposes. But honestly listen to anyone long enough and you'll find you agree with a few things they say. Every person says something prudent once in a while.

UrbanJellyfish · 31/01/2020 01:20

Age has not been kind to her. I remember her to look a lot younger than this (or maybe time has just snuck past without me realising and I've aged just as much!).
