Kerry Katona’s shambolic, slurring appearance on This Morning yesterday was car-crash TV at its finest – a moment we thought couldn’t be topped.
But there’s a chance we were wrong. Because on the exact same day that World’s Worst Mum 2007 Kerry Katona decided to go on a daytime TV show and babble a string of passive-aggressive drunk-seeming non-words at a startled fat lady and a pixie, a magazine published an interview where Kerry Katona criticises the parenting skills of Angelina Jolie.
What made Kerry Katona angry was the fact that Angelina Jolie recently bought her six-year-old son a knife. Obviously that’s something that Kerry Katona would never do. True, that’s because Kerry Katona is so busy being followed around by MTV camera crews, looking hammered and wailing “AHWOZZZUNOLIDEEEH!” at nobody in particular that she probably doesn’t know where her kids are, let alone a knife shop. But that counts.
Both Angelina Jolie and Kerry Katona have come under fire for how they raise their children lately. Angelina Jolie got it in the neck because she recently bought her six-year-old son a knife, on the basis that she had a knife as a child and she didn’t grow up to be anything worse than a self-harming heroin user.
And then there’s Kerry Katona. People are wondering what sort of mother Kerry Katona is for all kinds of reasons, like her refusal to stop smoking or drinking during pregnancy, her recent bankruptcy, her bi-polar disorder, her history of drug use and, most importantly, this mental interview on This Morning yesterday.
The interview has already caused all kinds of responses. Kerry Katona’s husband says that she only looked so confused because she was late taking her anti-psychotic medication, Kerry Katona’s publicist says that he’s increasingly concerned about the state of her health and everyone else has started using the phrase “I’m a 28-year-old woman and I was on holiday in Spain” as an excuse for every single bad thing they’ve ever done.
So, with public scrutiny on Kerry Katona’s skills as a parent more intense than ever before, perhaps it wasn’t the cleverest thing to publish an article where Kerry Katona slags Angelina Jolie off for being a bad mother on the exact same day of her public meltdown. According to Now:
Kerry Katona has hit out at Angelina Jolie over recent reports she took her 7-year-old son Maddox to a knife shop. ‘My daughter Molly is the same age and I would never even think about doing the same,’ Kerry tells OK!. ‘I hate knives. Just because [Angelina’s] mum took her to buy daggers when she was 11, it doesn’t mean she has to encourage her own kids.’
OK, to be fair, that’s not exactly what Kerry Katona said. We get the feeling the full quote was more like:
“Mydootor Mol… Mol… Murrrgh… Molly iszasamayjan AHWOZZZUNOLIDEEEH! AHWOZZZUNOLIDEEEHINSPAIN! Imma twennyate yerold womma!”
But it was probably cleaned up a bit for publication.
Anyway, Kerry’s statement was published in OK! magazine, the publication that employs Kerry as a columnist, so actually the tirade against Angelina Jolie could be put down to Kerry Katona doing her job of reflecting on the week’s celebrity news.
Let’s hope that, because of this, Kerry Katona decides to only comment on things that won’t instantly make her look like a messed-up lunatic devoid of any self-awareness from now on. And if that means we don’t get to hear her fascinating insights on ‘Wow, that Muhammad Ali slurs his speech a lot!’ and ‘Is it just me, or does Rhys Ifans look like he stinks of booze?’ then so be it.
