5. Jon Hamm vs. Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian takes a lot of criticism for the way she got famous– a sex tape followed by a reality show. Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm made a comment in an interview with ELLE UK about society’s obsession with celebrities. “Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated,” he told the magazine. “Being a f–king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly.”
Kim responded by posting on Twitter “Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, ‘stupid,’ is in my opinion careless.” But Hamm didn’t back down. He continued to express his opinion on the social media brand of celebrity and made it clear that he doesn’t understand or respect it. The fact that Hamm expressed his opinion in actual magazine and TV interviews, while Kim just responded on social media says it all.
