Katie Hopkins calls an airline passenger who filmed her without a face mask as a ‘stalker’

Katie Hopkins lashed out at the passenger who filmed her refusing to wear a mask on a flight from Los Angeles to London.

Rather than explain why she chose not to cover her face while traveling during the coronavirus pandemic, Katie called the person who captured her on camera a “stalker.”

It comes after Mirror Online released exclusive images and videos showing Katie without a face mask both on her flight and at Heathrow Airport.

In response, she told the Daily Star Online: “I am very upset to learn that I had a stalker on my night flight and at the airport and I will be alerting the authorities.

“I’m afraid this little man had never seen a real woman before and was intimidated by my beauty.

“I suspect the last female he got engaged to was the goat of the family.”

Katie had been reprimanded for choosing not to wear a mask on her flight.

The controversial former Apprentice star left other passengers outraged when he boarded a flight from LAX to Heathrow on Monday afternoon without covering his face.

She had been to the United States to appear as a special guest at rallies in support of President Donald Trump, who hopes to be re-elected.

Katie, 45, was filmed aboard the British Airways flight without a mask as she settled into her business class seat amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Later, she was photographed standing at Heathrow without covering her face.

One of his fellow travelers told Mirror Online: “He spent the entire flight without wearing a mask. It was ridiculous and it was not a flight you wanted to be on.

“She did not wear a mask on the flight and wandered Heathrow without one as well.”

Official guidelines on the Heathrow Airport website state that “all passengers over the age of 11 must wear face protection at all times inside the terminal buildings.”

When it comes to the actual flight, almost all airlines have stated since June that masks must be worn during flights, although passengers can change their masks every four hours.

The British Airways site says: “We require you to wear a face mask at all times. As a guide, they last up to four hours, so bring enough for the duration of your trip.”

In July, Katie came under fire for encouraging people to ditch the masks, even though they became an important part of the fight against the coronavirus.

After being banned from Twitter, she took to Instagram to share her thoughts on face coverings.

She shared a tweet from Sainsbury’s saying that they would not challenge people to enter their stores without a mask as they “may have a reason not to wear a mask.”

Katie called the supermarket “little legends,” apparently telling her fans that they don’t have to wear masks.

Katie also recently shared a photo of a boy in a stroller with a mask and visor.

She captioned it: “What the hell are we doing to our children? This is mental illness. Masked. Blinded. Isolated. To what end?”
