Comments on: Kate on “The View” this Wednesday http://www.imperfectwomen.com/kate-on-the-view-this-wednesday/ Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:13:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Donna http://www.imperfectwomen.com/kate-on-the-view-this-wednesday/comment-page-1/#comment-11420 Donna Tue, 23 Mar 2010 06:51:31 +0000 http://www.imperfectwomen.com/?p=7332#comment-11420 "<em>But why do we as the public get to determine what Kate should do, career-wise?

You may not care for Kate and of course have a right to that opinion. I have a feeling there are a few contestent's who I may or may not enjoy also. I have heard that they expect the highest rating's ever for the show so it seem's that they may continue with the "controversial" contestent trend. I guess we will find out tonight how well it works.

I realize that we all may have different opinions on what and who we find entertaining. I  freely admit it was one of the few shows on t.v. that I watched, no I did not always like some of the things I saw or heard. But I realized it was an edited, glimpse into a family's real life and to be honoust I saw some of my own flaws in Kate. Yes, Kate is a reality star and with that there is going to be those that like her and those who don't. However, she is also a REAL person who in the last few years has had a group of people who feel it is their right to destroy her. These people IMO have gone way beyond what is normal, and their continued harrassment is what finally made me express my opinion about a situation and person who I do not even know, for the first time. Maybe because it makes me sad that people and especially other women think it's ok to treat someone like that, just because they are in the public eye. I don't like hate mongering, so I gues if that makes me seem like I think I am morally superior so be it. Thank you Jennie and Diane I could not have come up with a better reply!

But why do we as the public get to determine what Kate should do, career-wise? Why do the haters constantly have to harangue her about her career choices? Do you think strangers should determine what YOU do for a living?
