Why British Reality Star Katie Hopkins 'Would Never Hire an Overweight Person'

Weekly columnist for Britain's The Sun newspaper and reality star Katie Hopkins gained more than 40 pounds and lost it just to prove that being overweight is the person's own fault.

She's honest and hilarious. I'm obese and I totally agree with her. My weight is my problem and there are no excuses for what I have done to myself.

[gdo]

Her honesty is refreshing and I love it . The fact that she purposely gained weight to show that she can take it off is also awesome. I was overweight too and took off 98 pounds and never looked back.

[Dakayto]

It's called "brutal honesty", everyone needs it now a days, people are just too comfortable, too privileged, too defensive about everything, and it's literally killing us.

[elora]

As someone who has been overweight, 100% agree with her.

[dodo]

Thankfully she doesn’t hide the truth behind political correctness.

[missxmarvel]

Katie is a rude critic. But she is right. You wont get anywhere with sugar coating obesity and make excuses. Sure some are like that due medical problem but thats only 5% of the population. 95% is self inflicted

[ChechiDLR]

She is ruthless! She wont lie to you and tell you you're special and people need to accept "who you are". No she'll tell you straight that you need to suck it up, get a grip and change what is changeable. Very tough love and very admirable.

I wonder if the interviewer on this video weighed 50 pounds overweight would have got her job had she been that heavy? I seriously doubt it.

[robertjensen]

Oh my God, what a complete breath of fresh air she is. We need 1 million more women like her.

1. I was fat since I was little
2. 2019 I lost 20kgs
3. Pandemic distracted me and gained weight again
4. Now, trying to get back into business, slowly but surely losing some weight.

AND I AGREE WITH HER! YOU HAVE THE SOLUTION 👍

[rustyshackleford]

i would never do this to my body just to prove something so simple to people who won't listen anyways

[shersmith]

my boss won't hire overweight people either ... he says that they don't have enough energy, aren't able to be fast on their feet and are a liability ...

[royfr]

When I see grossly overweight people in Walmart, they are not buying their carts with cookies, and junk. Katie is just honest and logical.

[ptpilario]

I'm surprised Katie didn't say something like "Until I see an overweight person hosting Entertainment Tonight, you can't criticize my way of approaching this issue"

[who-tube]

"She accused me of a hate crime. And off she went... Slowly. At a bit of a waddle." DEAD 😂😂😂👏 Katie needs to go into stand up

[DAZZER]

I think she quite clearly proved a valid point. She assumed the lifestyle of an overweight person (excluding those with disabilities and conditions) and then showed that weight was purely down to diet and lifestyle.

[louclarke]

Katie is one of the main people that has inspired me to lose weight

[robbie-wtxj]

Katie Hopkins is ruthless and brutally honest. She is absolutely correct here. Very few fat people have a valid excuse for being fat. In majority of cases, as Katie proves in documentary  if you eat excessively and don't eat a balanced diet, don't exercise, the pounds will pile up rapidly. If you eat balanced diet and actually do some exercise you should start to shed a few pounds. This shows that being fat, in most cases, it is self-inflicted.

"You're not trying to make excuses, but you're doing a pretty good job of it." LEGEND!!!

[lovcotg]

I was 20kg overweight and disgusted with myself, so I exercised and ate less food... now I'm not fat. Amazing coincidence!
