Potty-mouthed autograph hound childishly degrades Kate Upton with obscenities
This the Sports Illustrated’s 2012 swimsuit issue cover model, Kate Upton.
The angry clown behind her is an autograph hound (autograph reseller?) Look at the anger and hate on his grizzled mug. Is that something to be proud about?
At this precise moment, a gang of autograph hounds have surrounded Kate. One of them is yelling at her: “Your nothing but a no-good whore, you take your clothes off for money you dirty fucking whore!!’” - Some of the autograph collectors in the groups are calling her “a cunt.”
Why did this happen? How did it get this to point? Why were the autograph hounds unleashing such a vulgar verbal assault on Kate?
She refused to sign autographs for them.
This isn’t a isolated incident either. This kind of thing happens all the time to celebrities. I’d heard about this incident with Kate from witnesses some time ago, but was only just recently able to secure this exclusive image.
My source tells me there were possibly thirty autograph hounds who ambushed Kate Upton at the LAX airport last month as she arrived in town. My source tells me that Kate seemed nice and probably would have signed one autograph for each of the freaks if they had just been orderly and calmed down. Sadly, that’s too much to ask.
Unfortunately, Kate was dealing with a group of obsessive-compulsive social dengerates. These street-level collectors get excited and really seem incapable of containing themselves when they see an opportunity to make a few bucks. We’re not dealing with Einsteins here, folks. Many of these low-lifes would probably have choosen a life a crime if they’d been smart enough to figure out which way to point the gun.
My source told me Kate probably WOULD have signed one or two autographs had these bums lined up and remained unruly - but that wasn’t good enough. The mob almost immediately surrounded the supermodel. They began shoving so many photos and magazines in her face that she could barely move.
Try to imagine an autograph gang-rape, if you will.
Now why would Kate (or anyone else) want to sign an autograph in a situation like that? She was being literally engulfed by these sweaty, stinking, grizzled goons. Kate tried to escape but they began blocking the door to her car. The goons started yelling obscenities at Upton as she struggled to get inside her vehicle. The freaks continued to scream obscenities at model even as she drove away.
As you might imagine, this wasn’t a pretty sight. What do think the public was thinking as they watched this fiasco? It was a complete circus. Several bystanders at the airport stood nearby. They seemed to be in complete shock. One observer yelled out in defense of Kate: “HEY! Why don’t you guys just leave her alone?!!” An autograph goon screamed back: ”Why don’t you just go fuck your daughter?!”
The guy’s daughter was standing nearby.
She was about 11 years old.
Classy, eh?
This is the sort of thing that’s happening every night, in every major metropolitan city around the country. It’s shameful. This isn’t the way we should be treating celebrities. Is it any wonder they don’t want to sign items anymore? Is it any wonder that almost ALL of the easy venues are getting systematically destroyed? The theaters, airports, hotels, bookstores, studios: they’ve all begun to pump up security to keep these animals at bay. Security at premieres and parties have begun instructing celebrities “not to sign autographs” – and many of the stars are listening.
This kind of behavior is not only pissing off celebrities – it’s self-destructive to the resellers themselves. Where’s the logic in all of this? Even if Kate WOULD have signed – the autographs would have looked like shit. Instead of acting like a civilized human being and lining up to get one or two GOOD autographs – these morons walked away with nothing. How is this productive? Is anyone making money from this method of madness?
As a result of this incident, another celebrity will probably be less likely to sign for collectors in the future. I really don’t get it. I’ve attempted to reason with this knuckleheads, but it’s like trying to reason with a family of honey badgers. Look at the anger in that guy’s face. Do you think anyone could suggest civility to someone like that?
Sadly, whenever I spoken to collectors about this sort of behavior they justify it. They feel it’s their twisted responsibility to “get back” at the celebrities that don’t sign autographs. Some of the resellers will ever brag about it later and laugh it off. How is this helping the hobby? How does this increase profits? How is this working for you guys? Has it yielded more autographs for you? Has it made the venues easier to get into?
Listen, I resell autographs too – but I don’t condone this sort of behavior. This sort of aggressiveness will eventually lead to the downfall of the resale market. It’s a destructive behavior which all legitimate autograph collectors and resellers need to denounce. People who participate in this kind of aggression need to shamed.
