Katie Hopkins - Jon Ronson Thought I Was a Psychopath

Katie Hopkins joins Andrew Gold for one of her most eye-opening and personal conversations yet — centred on the moment Jon Ronson openly questioned whether she might be a psychopath. Katie pulls back the curtain on a chapter of her life that has followed her for years, revealing what really happened behind the scenes and how she felt when a bestselling author and renowned investigator of human behaviour publicly dissected her personality.

In this gripping clip, Katie explains the origins of Jon Ronson’s claim, how it spiralled in the media, and why she believes the label stuck so aggressively. She dives into the psychology behind the accusation, the public reaction, and the way it shaped her reputation long after the cameras stopped rolling. Katie also discusses the strange experience of becoming a character in someone else’s narrative — particularly someone as well-known for analysing extreme personalities as Jon Ronson.

But how did this all begin? Why did Ronson form that impression? And what does Katie think he got right — or completely wrong? The story is far more complex than a headline, and in this conversation, she lays out the context that most people never heard. From misinterpreted behaviour to media amplification, Katie breaks down the full chain of events in her trademark, unapologetic style.

She also explores the wider issue of being publicly labelled by journalists, psychologists and commentators who have never lived your life, and what it means to carry a reputation you didn’t choose. What happens when a narrative sticks, even if it isn’t true? How do you confront it? And does Katie believe any part of Ronson’s assessment had merit?

If you’ve ever wondered what really happened between Jon Ronson and Katie Hopkins — and why the “psychopath” label caught fire — this is the definitive breakdown. Honest, confrontational and unexpectedly reflective, Katie offers a perspective that challenges the assumptions many people still hold.
