I never find provocateurs to have much social worth. Has she said some things that are funny? Yes, especially regarding obesity. But when one's occupation is intentionally pissing people off, I question what value they are really contributing to society, short of adding additional, unnecessary negativity. I also have issues with people who follow celebrities lives (never understood it), but the only thing worse to me is people like Katie Hopkins who do so with the intent to insult and degrade people. It is essentially "trolling" in real life, trying to get a rise out of people. Side: Bad

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't her previous profession in business? It was my understanding that now she is essentially a public personality (Twitter, TV, etc). And one aspect of stupidity with another aspect of stupidity accomplishes nothing. She is not "fighting back", she is simply adding to the problem. If she wanted to go off on how the obsession with celebrities is unhealthy and ridiculous, I would agree (but to say it is an issue pertaining to the proletariat is absurd, seeing as how upper class citizens of countless countries are just as eager to associate with "celebrities"). But just insulting people with childish humor doesn't do that at all. Side: Bad

After reading the controversy section of the wikipedia article on her, my opinion is that she is more negative than positive with her criticisms and comments about society. Side: Bad
