Actually, I hope there is some truth in the rumor and she and the bodyguard take off to New Zealand and we never have to see her (or her horrid haircut) again, LOL. She can leave the kids though--they're cute :-)

wow! i totally get thinking she is overbearing and controlling, but the outright hatred for kate, i just don't get. she really seems to stir up great animosity (not just here but all over the net) the calling her, tummy tuck kate, comments about her hair, never having to see her again <77>

Holly- Kate also works for TLC. I read that the bodyguard in question is a happily married man and this is not a nice thing to do his family. Jon is the one that started the rumor when he knew his stuff was getting ready to come out and we've seen how much he's had to let out.

As for the haircut, it's not my style, but I know several people, including family and friends that have this style of cut. I would never call it horrid. Find it hard to believe that you don't also have an aquaintance of two in your life that is sporting it as well.

harshness, sure. neither are above criticism. i guess i just don't see the outright hatred towards him like her. sure, they both don't get blue ribbons for their behaviors, but kate seems to garner not just animosity, but hatred.

<77> To be honest, I haven't seen anyone walking around in the flesh, sporting such a hairstyle--only Kate. Who would want to emulate that anyway? It's downright ugly and stupid looking. <77>

I think when someone makes a snide comment with a "LOL" included, it's poking fun. Now it may be a more cutting humor than some like or appreciate, but I don't see it as hatred at all.

As for Kate's horrid bird nest reverse mullet hair do?! I am glad to say I don't know anyone sporting such a do! Maybe the birdnest reverse mullet is starting on the coasts and will make it's way inland eventually -- but I do hope not! Or maybe I just don't run in a young and hip enough crowd. LOL.

I know a couple of people with her haircut. It's not my style and when I recently went shorter I made sure I didn't have a cut that would make people think I was copying her (LOL), but I don't hate it. But then I don't usually have strong reactions to haircuts. LOL

Me neither, Tex, but her deluded idea that women from coast to coast would be asking hairdressers for "The Kate" haircut just made me shift from pity for her lack of taste and style to wanting to laugh at her. Her conceit annoy me. And now, so does her hair.

Ditto Mindeegap! Let's try to keep the collateral damage to a minimum. I am sure there will be lots of Kate behavior to be ridiculed as time passes and well, if she doesn't do anything new and scorn worthy we can always just keep making fun of her hair. :-)

Kate thinks that her hair is the "bomb". We could never make her realize that many find her hair for lack of a good word.........odd.

I find it very difficult to read awful comments about Kate. I know her hair isn't great, but that is the least of her problems.

Having been in a marriage that included infidelity, it is one of the most emotional things that can happen to a person. I know it takes two, but to be humiliated by your spouse in public and have most people side with him would be horrific.

I think she is carving a new life for herself and the kids. When they grow up, it's not her they will see plastered in the headlines with a "young hottie."

Well, in my circle there is my sister, who is a beautiful mother of three and wedding planner. The nurse at my doctor's office, a lovely lady at coffee group.
All of these women have this style of haircut and as for my sister and coffee group friend, neither of them even know who Kate is other than maybe catching a glimpse of her on a tabloid at the grocer checkout and pretty sure neither of them search the tabloids for pictures to take to their hairdresser.

John and Kate have plenty of character flaws if you want to pick them apart without bringing their hair into it. I just think if you met the parent of your child's best friend and she were wearing this same cut, would you think it horrid and that she had so little style of her own that she picked it because Kate had it.
I wasn't trying to be ugly or disrespectful to anyone, just think picking at something like a hairstyle is really simple minded.
I'm curious as to how people feel about themselves and their own style when they do that.

If Kate and the bodyguard do have a relationship beyond a working one or beyond friendship, then I respect the way she is going about it far more than the way Jon is. Jon seems to be very public about his, seems to never tell the truth because the total opposite of what he says seems to always come to light shortly there after; it's almost like he doesn't know what he wants, and IMO it's like he seems to be extremely public in an attempt to hurt and embarrass Kate. It's just my opinion, but it does seem to me like he does things almost on purpose so that Kate will be sure to see or hear about it.

Now regarding Kate's hairdo, IMO, it's a hair-don't. I know the old often becomes new again, but that hairstyle is very old from the 80s or 90s back when the female rap group Salt-n-Peppa was popular because that's the style they wore and are known for. When I first saw it on Kate, I thought it strange that a stylist would give her that style, or that Kate would even request such a thing. I had the same convo with my own stylist, that we were surprised Kate's rockin' it like it's current and cute. I also wonder why she continues to wear it; it's not current and it's not the most becoming on her, and it certainly isn't youthful looking if that's what she's thinking. Kate has it long on 1 side and short on the other; I've seen more current styles where it's a blunt cut long to maybe the chin or a little longer on both sides framing the face, and shorter in the back, but the style she's wearing is very 80s/90s. But all that being said, to each their own; it just surprises me that she thinks it's cute and thinks it's the stylish thing to do. But she likes it and that's all that really matters anyway. I think it's wrong for websites like TMZ and other sites to refer to her hairstyle as a "reverse porcupine mullet." Seems very rude and mean-spirited.

I can honestly say that I've had a similar cut....just didn't rat up the back....and I still have Kate bangs. I've also had MUCH worse cuts than hers. I plan to cut it off short again soon and leave the bangs....so I guess we can have some sherry hate too!

BUT, I'm also going to say that when you are going through the kind of changes that Kate has been going through for the last SEVERAL months, you have a tendancy to change things about yourself. Get a haircut, lose weight, buy new clothes....all these things make you feel better about yourself when something has happened that has beaten down your self esteem....and a husband hanging with 20 yr olds will do that to you.

I know Kate isn't perfect, but she's doing the best she can right now for her and the kids. She's in survival mode, and she's doing a pretty darned good job as far as I'm concerned.

Sabbatia, I totally agree with this; it bears repeating:

"I know Kate isn't perfect, but she's doing the best she can right now for her and the kids. She's in survival mode, and she's doing a pretty darned good job as far as I'm concerned."

I don't like Victoria Beckham's hairstyle either, to me it's not becoming on her very petite frame and sunken in cheeks, but to each their own. They like it, so that's what matters. Victoria's style is kind of like the style I was describing that is more current, which I do like on some people.

I will probably be flamed off the boards for this opinion but since I've always had it I'll just put it out there: I don't think spiky short haircuts like hers are very "feminine." I think a lot of men just have an instinctual thing for long hair. Growing up I always always wanted long hair and I only liked babysitters and teachers with long hair. I have always felt like the short hair cuts happen when people don't care to attract men anymore for whatever reason. Geez that sounds really bad and I'm sure I'm angering every short haired reader on this thread but it's what I think when I look at Kate and it's what I think a lot of her critics are thinking, is that she would be much prettier with some hair on her shoulders.

Note the girls that John has been linked with since the announcement - long hair.

One time Jenna Elfman, years ago, said the eact opposite as me - she said that she thinks girls with short hair have confidence and those with long hair are using it as a crutch, or something to that effect. I see her point but I also understand men like my husband who like long hair and high heels...yes they are more work but they make you feel sexy.

Well, I'm simple minded so Kate's hair is like red meat to me.

Beckham had an inverted/graduated bob with lots of layering. She didn't have it cut so short in the crown that it stood up like Kate's does. Kate's is like...really, really short in the back.
