I'm sure she could be a nightmare to live with, but since we're watching her and not inside the house, I'll happily take that.

Sure we all have different personalities and Katie is a rude, vile ****, unfortunately there will always be ***** in the world, this whole thing of "oh look how refreshing her honesty is" is complete bull**** tbh, if that logic was applied to the real world I don't think you'd be saying the same thing. You think it'd be ok in school for example for one kid to call another a disgusting fat pig because "they're just being honest"? Or in the work place, one employee calling another an ugly bitch cos she has red hair? No, that would be bullying, what Katie is doing is exactly the same but on a different platform

I think you've taken this a little out of context - I don't think she randomly goes around saying people are ugly, fat or disrespecting anybody. From what I can see she is simply voicing her opinions (she doesn't find red hair attractive, she thinks tattoos are awful, she thinks unemployed people are lazy) but people only take offense because she is extremely vocal about it. Also, judging by her fat story, she wants people to be aware of their size and help them do something about it before it goes too far (in the case of children especially, their parents should be notified etc instead of not addressing the problems). Plus the amount of abuse Katie receives herself on a daily basis could technically be 'bullying' if you put it like that.

The abuse Katie receives is a reaction to the disgusting things that she says so no I wouldn't class that as bullying at all, you cant spew the bile she does and not expect to suffer any repercussions for it. And I do echo Parminions thoughts about her being controversial to carve a little career for herself
