Hopkins' social media presence and outspoken views, especially on UK politics, social class, obesity, migrants and race, have attracted controversy, criticism, media scrutiny, legal issues, protests and petitions. She has been accused of racism by journalists, advocacy groups and politicians for her comments about migrants. In 2016, "Mail Online" was forced to pay significant damages to a Muslim family whom Hopkins had falsely accused of extremist links. In the 2017 libel case "Monroe v Hopkins", Hopkins was required to pay damages and legal costs to Jack Monroe after making defamatory remarks on Twitter. Her role at LBC was terminated in May 2017 following her comments about the need for a "final solution" — a term used by the Nazis to refer to the Holocaust — after the Manchester Arena bombing. Hopkins was permanently suspended from Twitter in June 2020 for what the company described as "violations of our hateful conduct policy"; she joined Parler afterwards.
