I respect the fact that she’s relentless and very hard working though.

A few days ago, a thread appeared in the AIBU Mumsnet community, which began with a question from the user youreactinglikeafunmum: "One celebrity you irrationally hate (lighthearted and petty)?" By the way, according to the results of the netizen votes in the thread, more than two thirds of responders consider such behavior as not unreasonable (great, now I feel calmer...).
But seriously, the list of famous people listed here is largely made up of British celebrities, but there are also world-renowned people in various fields of human activity. Sports and music, politics and cinema, influencers and journalists - please meet this new selection made for you by Bored Panda!

It is interesting that people pay special attention to appearance or voice when explaining the reasons why they irrationally dislike a particular person. Be it, for example, Jim Carrey's "rubber" face or the specific notes in Katherine Ryan's voice while performing another standup show.
We may know a thousand times that these are wonderful people, outstanding masters of their craft - but we can't command the subconscious.
"Historically, we perceive people largely through their appearance," says Valery Bolgan, a historian and editor-in-chief of the Intent news agency from Ukraine, whom Bored Panda asked for a comment. "In other words, a positive hero should be beautiful, and a villain will most likely be not this nice, and probably have an unpleasant voice. This tradition in fact dates back to ancient times."

"Just look at some old theater masks - the main characters were always as beautiful as possible, and the villains, on the contrary, looked vile and ugly. So long-standing cultural traditions have not gone anywhere, and they greatly influence how we perceive the ordinary and extraordinary people around us."
"As a result, literally one unpleasant feature in the appearance of an absolutely good and pleasant person can distort our perception of them. Interestingly, in the case of actors, this can even be a convincingly played negative role. It’s not surprising that many movie stars so stubbornly refused to play villains - simply so as not to spoil their own image," Valery Bolgan claims.

A separate category on this list of celebrities is occupied by young champions of the new era of sports: for example, Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz or Dutch racing star Max Verstappen. Well, in fact, people may be irritated by Alcaraz's allegedly overly loud shouts on the court (interestingly, for example, Rafael Nadal shouted no less loudly and unpleasantly...), but this is most likely not the point.
Experienced sports fans are usually very suspicious of rising stars, considering them something "not real," and recalling all sorts of their shortcomings in comparison to the "genuine" legends of the past.
Just as Verstappen, in their opinion, is worse than Lewis Hamilton, Hamilton in his youth was "inferior" to Michael Schumacher, who, in turn, was "inferior" to Ayrton Senna - and so on, ad infinitum.
I bet when some new young champions appear in Formula 1 or tennis in about ten years, we’ll criticize them in the same way, comparing them to the great and unique Verstappen and Alcaraz...

I will sprint across the house to change the channel before I have to hear her because she makes me so irrationally angry.
I won't watch The One Show at all, just because she's on it sometimes.
In any case, it’s always interesting to learn something new about famous people - even if it is that someone on the other side of the world dislikes them for the pettiest reason.
So, please feel free to read this list to the very end, and maybe add your own “hated” celebrities in the comments below, while I perhaps re-watch “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady” on Netflix. Maybe this time I’ll change my mind about Tom, who actually knows?
