Twitter banned Katie from it’s site last night after she shared one final tweet, where it seems she was tweeting moaning about her verified status on the site.
Katie’s ban comes after she mocked the BLM movement on Wednesday, causing outrage as she tweeted: “”Today is #whiteoutwednesday. I will shortly be posting a picture of my arse. Thank you.”
A spokesperson for the social media giant said about Katie’s ban: “Keeping Twitter safe is a top priority for us – abuse and hateful conduct have no place on our service and we will continue to take action when our rules are broken.

“In this case, the account has been permanently suspended for violations of our Hateful Conduct policy.”
She also caused outrage after slamming Manchester United legend Marcus Rashford following his successful campaign to secure free school meals for children over the summer amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Her tweet read: “Dear @MarcusRashford, do you think women should think about how they are going to feed a child before they decide to have it?

“I do not want to pay to feed other people’s kids. You are welcome to.
“Thank you, Katie Hopkins.”
Her tweet came after Rashford wrote an open letter to MPs on Monday calling for the Government to reverse the decision not to extend the meal scheme, which they did, as a £120million ‘Covid Summer Food Fund’ was announced on Tuesday.
