John Brown, 'the news anchor guy' from FOX 35 new, is everyone's new hero. He stormed off set during a live broadcast because he decided that he'd had enough of the Kardashians's and their non-story, news stories.
As he left the set he said to his co-anchor Amy Kaufeldt, “I’m having a good Friday so I refuse to talk about the Kardashians today, you’re on your own Amy”. The story about Kylie Jenner's new rabbit named Bruce, proceeded as John can be heard yelling off screen while undergoing his Kardashian-related meltdown.
He is receiving an overwhelming amount of support via Twitter, opening up the flood gates for all the haters to voice their opinions on the famous family. Unsurprisingly, John Brown isn't the first public figure to publicly dis the Kardashians. Over the past few years, celebrities like Reece Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jon Hamm and Craig Daniel are a small handful of the many who have dissed the Kardashians in one way or another. Even the US president, Barrack Obama, has taken a jab at this famous family.
Mad Men star, Jon Hamm, had some choice words in an Elle UK interview, where he was quoted “Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f----g idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly.”
Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, was one of the many who expressed their annoyance with the iconic Vogue magazine, when Kim, Kanye and their daughter North covered Vogue early 2014. Sarah tweeted out... “Well... I guess I'm cancelling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me?”.
Reece Witherspoon alluded to Kim Kardashian's rise to fame while accepting an award at the MTV movie awards saying, “I just wanna say to all the girls out there, I know it's cool to be bad, I get it... but it is possible to make it in hollywood without a reality show...”
After the crowd applauded in agreement, she went on to say, “when I came up in this business, [if] you made a sex tape you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed”. Although no names where mentioned, when the phrases 'reality show' and 'sex tape' are used together, the Kardashian name comes straight to mind.
Barrack Obama made a statement throwing slight shade at the family, specifically at ring leader Kim and her hubby Kanye. “I think, there also has been a shift in culture. There was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Kids weren’t monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success.”
Daniel Craig (James Bond) took a serious jab at the Kardashian Klan saying, "Look at the Kardashians, they're worth millions... I don't think they were that badly off to begin with, but now look at them. You see that and you think, 'What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f---ing idiot on television and then you'll pay me millions?” Craig was also quoted saying, “You can't buy your privacy back, 'Ooh, I want to be alone.' F--k you. We've been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta, and now you want some privacy?”
The Kardashians are the family that everyone loves to hate and hates to love. Regardless of the 'haters', the 11th season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians is on the horizon and while their faces continue to grace the covers of the tabloids, their careers in professional modelling, reality television, fashion, Snapchat and Instagram will remain intact.
