What’s particularly galling is that she was allowed into the country for some shitty reality show in the first place, when thousands of actual Australians can’t get back because of their extreme covid border rules

I honestly think she is unwell. Shame on Australia for exploiting that.

She sounds mentally unwell. Rather than deport her straight away perhaps she ought to be encouraged to seek medical help first.

Can't stand her & what she's said & done in the past but if she is genuinely not well & some of what she's doing is sounding like a cry for help, perhaps that's what she needs, along with a lengthy enforced absence from social media for hers and everyone else's sake.

But doesn't the UK do the same? She's far more known in the UK than she is Australia. Most Aussies would have no idea who she is.

[quote Justilou1]@Hairbrush123 - interestingly, the reason we have UK celebs imported for these shit shows is because most of the audience is over there, and you need people you can relate to. Most of the Aussie celebs are from shows you watch too. Most Aussies aren’t into these sorts of shows.[/quote]
Other than Married at First Sight I've never seen any Australian reality shows advertised/on the TV planner here? Even Mailonline (which covers every shit reality show from every corner of the globe) has only had stories from MAFS.

Yes, the Daily Mail (amongst others) exploited her ruthlessly until she became a liability after an expensive court action and they ditched her.

She's toxic in the UK which is why Australia wanted her. They would have done their homework though and known she's probably not well.

@HmmmmmmInteresting

She is such a weirdo, I honestly think she's mentally ill. What was that about her opening the door to the guard naked?

I have thought this for a long time. She definitely has MH problems and doesn't understand boundaries at all. She has NPD and craves attention, even if it's notoriety. It's sad really. Or it would be if she wasn't such a completely vile individual.

She's an utter arsehole. Not an ounce of intellect - just like an attention seeking, irritating kid. Really pisses me off when the press give her coverage.

I think she’s damaged mentally in some way TBH. Strange, dysfunctional woman. Why on Earth someone like her is permitted access to the country all in the name of a bloody crap show on TV when there’s another rule for everyone else is a fucking joke. So I’m actually just as disgusted with the decision n the first place & the motivation behind it (money no doubt.)

I'd all but forgotten about Hopkins until this situation CBB Australia situation. Hopefully her antics means she's forfeited her appearance fee.

I’m pretty convinced she has some sort of brain injury (not sure where that would fall between MH and physical health tbh). Her boundaries are incomprehensible at times and I’ve witnessed similar in family with brain injury.

She lied to the military about having epilepsy which, by her own account, hasn’t ever been particularly well controlled. Who does that and genuinely believes it’ll never come up?

a talentless narc that has found a schtick and quite thrives on the attention (regardless of favourable or not) that being controversial brings. social media feeds the beast. channel 7/reality shows/ any business that pays her are opportunistic and complicit in the shitty behaviour. hope she didnt get her fee from ch7 and pleased NSW fined her $1000 for failure to comply. doubt she'd ever be welcomed back (pretty hard to get visa ever again after having it cancelled in this fashion)

returned to sender - faulty goods

Just a thought.
Maybe she has fulfilled her brief now?
Could she have been employed to bring publicity to the show?
It seems to have worked, if so.

The Uk really doesnt watch much aussie content -apart from neighbours and home and away! Ive never seen an aussie reality tv show or talk show I just dont think there's the market for aussie tv in the same way Australia relies on Uk and American tv.

Very glad Australia stuck to the rules and sent her back though. I know of people with family in Australia they cant get back to see yet celebs are allowed in. Seems so unfair.

She is not mentally ill.
She needs money but most people won't touch her because if what she stands for.

Serves her bloody well right.
Hope She struggles financially forever.
Evil cow.

I suspect she knows exactly what gets her headlines and prioritizes fame over everything. I imagine her views garner extreme responses, including death threats, for which she cries “Poor me, and my innocent children.” Actually, they really are the victims here. Can you imagine being raised by someone who publicly preaches against what is taught in schools? Who publicly claims that they are teaching you to reject your own peers based on class, religion and skin colour? This goes against the general zeitgeist for young people. I do hope they rebel by having relationships with people she would disapprove of, and I also hope they prove her wrong by having successful, happy relationships and getting away from her entirely.

I’m half Australian myself (with an oz passport) and I doubt I’d have a chance in hell of getting in for a long time.

Think the Australian govt / border force have some serious questions to answer on the decisions that were made here

Yes, this is a more important question.

@TheTallOakTrees - a lot of people are demanding answers about this atm. So many people are waiting for loved ones to return (for lots better reasons than a shitty show that has totally done it’s time, and celebrities no one’s interested in…)

She should never have been allowed in. And Barnaby is a despicable human being. Drunk, adulterous, denies climate change.

Barnaby sounds like a dickhead
Australia does too, to be fair, for allowing KH in in the first place to film a fucking reality show 🤔

@IndigoC It is very unfair.
Celebrities seem to have a free pass to do what they please.
I didn't know KH was still working, no doubt she'll be back causing trouble.

Many of the people who have returned worked in film, TV and events overseas and the government has spent a fair bit of time and effort promoting Australia as a destination for film production.
This is why people are being let in (or in the case of Keith and Nicole allowed to return).
Sometimes I sell items to movies and have a couple of friends who do the same. We’ve been doing well so imagine quite a lot of economic activity has been generated and many jobs have been saved or created.

She’ll be absolutely loving the headlines and won’t admit that she fucked up, she’ll milk this for all it’s worth because she’s a narcissist and that’s what narcissists do. I thought she’d buggered off to America though, or don’t they want her either?

@HmmmmmmInteresting

Yes I thought the same. I know she shakes others for their physicality but she seemed so weird to me. Scarily unhinged. And so smug.
