The Australian government has cancelled far-right foghorn Katie Hopkins’ visa, after the celebrity fishwife shared batshit rant to Instagram about breaching Australia’s mandatory hotel quarantine conditions.
The British shock jock unleashed a rant about Sydney’s hotel quarantine on Instagram Live on Friday, July 16th. Hopkins slammed the lockdown as “bullshit” and “the greatest hoax in human history”, whilst claiming that she has deliberately trying to shirk hotel quarantine rules by, ah, attempting to “frighten” hotel security guards by answering the door naked and maskless.
As ABC News Breakfast report, Hopkins visa cancellation was announced by the home affairs minister, Karen Andrews, earlier today. “The fact that she was out there boasting about breaching quarantine was appalling,” Hopkins told ABC.
The Australian Border Force “acted quickly” to cancel her visa. “We will be getting her out of the country as soon as we can possibly arrange that. So I’m hopeful that it will happen imminently.”
Hopkins was quarantining in Sydney ahead of her appearance as a cast member on Channel Seven‘s Big Brother VIP, however, following her anti-quar rant, Hopkins was sacked from the show after breaching her contract.
“Seven Network and Endemol Shine Australia confirm that Katie Hopkins is not part of Big Brother VIP,” the network confirmed in a statement to The Guardian. “Seven and Endemol Shine strongly condemn her irresponsible and reckless comments in hotel quarantine.”
Last year, Katie Hopkins had her Twitter account permanently suspended for violating the platform’s “hateful conduct” policy.
