Hopkins, 2018

Katie Olivia Hopkins (born February 13, 1975 in Barnstaple , Devon, England ) is a British journalist . She was best known in 2007 for the third season of the British version of The Apprentice . She then worked as a columnist for the online edition of the Daily Mail and had her own talk show on LBC Radio from 2016 to 2017 . She also had her own TV show If Katie Hopkins Ruled the World on TLC in 2015 . She participated in UK reality television shows such as I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! (2007) and Celebrity Big Brother (role model for Celebrity Big Brother , 2015).

Life

Her father was an electrical engineer for the local electricity company and her mother was a bank clerk. She has an older sister. She grew up in Bideford and attended a private convent school from the age of 3 to 16. She played sports and learned the piano and violin. As a child, she believed that at some point she would be “the colonel in the armed forces. I loved the military. I loved the discipline, the rigor, the tall, screaming men. "

Hopkins told Sathnam Sanghera of The Times in June 2015 that she had applied to Magdalen College , Oxford for a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) and had failed the interview. She failed because she “lacked a bit of coaching” and instead went on to study economics at the University of Exeter . She felt that her time at university was “paying off” with financial support from the British Army's Intelligence Corps, and she spent her weekends there. She found it "very funny to lie around with weapons in the woods and have a great time".

She completed her military training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst , but suffered an epileptic seizure during a graduation ceremony shortly before the end of her military training and was unable to continue her military career. Hopkins said she kept her epilepsy a secret while visiting Sandhurst, otherwise she would not have been admitted to the military. Instead, she switched to a management consultancy and moved to Manhattan , New York City , before returning to the UK in 2005. In September 2006 she moved to the Met Office as a global branding consultant. She took a leave of absence to participate in the British edition of the television program The Apprentice .

Because Hopkins remarks against foreigners, homosexuals, epileptics, overweight or even red-haired children, the British Youtuber Josh Pieters Hopkins put in January 2020 with the award of a fictitious price 'Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy' ( CUNT , German  "campaign to unite the nation “-Trophy ) in. Pieters Hopkins flew to Prague, where she accepted the award and gave a speech, while the initials of the fictitious award were clearly visible in the background and formed the swear word "CUNT", a vulgar English expression for vagina. In her speech, Hopkins said against foreigners and other religions, among other things: "If you shout 'Mohammed' in a school yard in Great Britain, 2,000 children come running and you don't want any of them," "Epileptics are all crazy, just like them Asians "and" Muslims rape their own mother ". Pieters uploaded the prank to his YouTube channel the same day that Hopkins was suspended from Twitter for violating his anti-hate rules.
