The controversial commentator was reportedly asked to leave the Dundee Arms in Bethnal Green
Katie Hopkins reportedly found herself involved in a heated altercation with pub-goers during England’s match against Croatia on Wednesday (June 17).
The far-right political commentator was at the Dundee Arms in Bethnal Green, East London, during England’s opening World Cup fixture earlier this week. In video footage obtained by Sell Us Your Story, a man appears to instruct Katie to leave the premises, to which she responds, telling him to “f*** off”.
In the footage, she lunges towards a man before raising her middle finger to the crowd. Fellow patrons can be heard chanting “Katie Katie you’re a c***” before Hopkins screams “f*** you” and shoves a man believed to be the landlord, before making a hasty exit.
As she storms through the front door, those remaining inside burst into cheers. Katie then appears to push away the phones of those attempting to film her as she makes her way down the street.
One pub-goer, who wished to remain anonymous, commented: “I think she was kicked out because of her racism and general views. The vibe of the pub was that people didn’t want her there. I was surprised she was served at all.”
Katie rose to fame as a contestant on series 3 of the Apprentice in 2007. Known for her controversial views, she has in more recent years become a right-wing political commentator and repeatedly been accused of racism, islamophobia, fat-shaming and classism.
Some of her most controversial moments include losing her job at LBC following comments she made about the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, and receiving a permanent ban from X, then Twitter, in 2020 for violating their ‘hateful conduct policy’.
