This ^^ is a “British TV presenter” named Katie Hopkins. She’s not a real journalist in the sense that she breaks news on important subjects. The frame of reference I would use for our American readers is that she’s sort of a Kathy Lee Gifford-type, maybe mixed with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Ann Coulter and Whoopi Goldberg. You get the idea? She’s famous for making stupid comments in public. She’s a “professional troll.” Her job is to get a rise out of a people.

Well, Hopkins latest is a doozy. She decided to get on her Twitter and throw a hissy fit about Kelly Clarkson. Yes, that Kelly Clarkson. The same Kelly Clarkson who would never hurt a fly. Kelly has never said anything negative about anyone, ever. This is what Hopkins tweeted yesterday:

Look chubsters, Kelly Clarkson had a baby a year ago. That is no longer baby weight. That is carrot cake weight. Get over yourselves.

Classy. Just to clarify, Kelly Clarkson had her baby eight months ago. Not that it matters, because hateful troll is hateful trolling. According to the Daily Mail, Hopkins also made some comments after Kelly performed on the Graham Norton Show, writing: “Jesus, what happened to Kelly Clarkson? Did she eat all of her backing singers? Darling, if you had a baby a year ago, that is not baby weight. It is fat. Quit calling it cute names to make yourself feel better.”

There’s so much about this that pisses me off. Kelly has never put herself out there as some sexy pop star known mostly for her body. Kelly actually has a voice and she can sing her guts out, so who gives a crap about her body? Besides, if you get off on judging women who have only given birth less than a year ago, you’re a terrible person. Why is this a thing?

Oh, and when someone asked Kelly about all of this, her first response was “Who?” Which is amazing, because seriously, we have enough stupid trolls here in America without needing to import British trolls. When someone explained what Hopkins wrote, Kelly said: “Oh, and she’s tweeted something nasty about me? That’s because she doesn’t know me. I’m awesome! It doesn’t bother me. It’s a free world. Say what you will. I’ve just never cared what people think. It’s more if I’m happy and I’m confident and feeling good, that’s always been my thing. And more so now, since having a family – I don’t seek out any other acceptance.” Classy.
