Katie Hopkins was reportedly involved in a heated altercation with pub-goers and allegedly shoved a man believed to be the landlord during England’s World Cup opener against Croatia
The far-right political pundit Katie Hopkins was allegedly booted out of a London boozer after becoming embroiled in a furious row with fellow punters during England’s 4-2 victory over Croatia on Wednesday (June 17).
The commentator and personality was watching the match at the Dundee Arms in Bethnal Green when things became heated. Video footage obtained by Sell Us Your Story appears to show one bloke tell Hopkins to get out of the pub, to which the former Apprentice contestant responds “f*** off”.
She then appears to make a lunge at the gentleman, before throwing up her middle fingers to the braying crowd, some of whom had appeared to have been chanting “Katie Katie you’re a c***”, according to MyLondon.
Fans can then be heard chanting “out, out, out” at Hopkins as she continues to stare them down, before she eventually makes an exit from the establishment.
As the political pundit begins to walk out the pub, a series of jeers and whistles can be heard in her direction.
As the 51-year-old steps out of the pub, she appears to take a swipe at the phone filming the incident, knocking it out the hand of the videographer.
Recognised for her divisive opinions, Hopkins has established herself as a right-wing political commentator and has repeatedly faced allegations of racism, islamophobia, fat-shaming and classism.
Some of her most contentious incidents include being sacked from LBC after making remarks about the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, and getting a permanent ban from X, followed by Twitter, in 2020 for breaching their ‘hateful conduct policy’.
The video is not the first time Hopkins has seemingly faced issues with the British public. In 2019, the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant claimed to be the victim of a hate crime after a pro-Brexit sign was removed from her house.
Speaking to her 650K followers, Katie said at the time: “Someone stole my 8th Leave sign. It is a hate crime.
“I am frightened to live in this country. I’d leave but everywhere else is more s***.”
Hopkins did not leave the country as a result of the alleged theft.
