Katie Hopkins has caused quite a stir with her recent comments about Kate Garraway, the grieving TV presenter. The 48-year-old, who has a history of controversial behavior and was previously banned from Twitter, took to social media to express her thoughts following the tragic passing of Kate's husband, Derek Draper. Kate, who is also 56 years old, announced earlier this month that Derek had sadly lost his life after battling complications from Covid-19. He had suffered a cardiac arrest in December and passed away on January 5, with Kate by his side.
Since Derek's health began to deteriorate, Kate has been widely praised for her two documentaries, "Finding Derek" and "Caring for Derek." In these raw and emotional films, the family opened up about their struggles and brought attention to the challenges faced by carers and the long-term effects of Covid-19. Kate had previously shared on social media her reasons for sharing their personal story with the world.
But while many have offered their sympathy and support to Kate during this difficult time, Hopkins took a different approach and decided to mock her on social media. In a video she posted on Instagram, Hopkins can be seen drinking from a large glass of wine and laughing to herself as she comments on Kate's upcoming documentary and book about her life after Derek's passing.
Some fans were quick to criticize Hopkins for her insensitive remarks, with one user commenting, "Your usually so funny but this is cruel." Others expressed their disappointment, writing, "I don't understand the hate," and "Too far."
This isn't the first time Hopkins has faced backlash for her controversial views. In the past, she has made offensive comments about refugees, dementia sufferers, and breastfeeding in public. She has also been known to stir up controversy by suggesting that people shouldn't name their children after places, while forgetting that her own child is called India.
Despite the criticism, Hopkins seems unfazed and continues to voice her opinions on social media. It's a shame that instead of offering support and sympathy during a difficult time, she has chosen to mock and criticize someone who is grieving the loss of their loved one.
