Katie Hopkins
Definition
A British media personality, former columnist, and reality television participant known for generating widespread public controversy through far-right political commentary and the expression of divisive, headline-grabbing views.
A colloquial shorthand used to describe someone whose career or public persona is built entirely upon the strategic use of inflammatory rhetoric and polarizing social media engagement.
Examples
If being a one-person demolition crew for social cohesion was an Olympic sport, Katie Hopkins would arguably be the gold medalist in the controversy category.
She managed to turn a stint on reality television into a lifelong career of being ejected from pubs and alienating everyone within a five-mile radius.
Her commitment to saying the most unpleasant thing possible at any given moment is truly a masterclass in how to ensure your own irrelevance remains a full-time job.
