Katherine Ryan speaks out calling James Argent and Leonardo DiCaprio

Katherine Ryan has explained why she called out Leonardo DiCaprio and James Argent for dating younger women, calling it “disgusting” and “weird.”

The comedian, 39, has been outspoken about the two men in the past, making videos and tweets mocking them for their dating choices.

Now speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Katherine has stated that she’s happy to be the ‘poster woman’ for bashing older male celebrities with a penchant for dating a younger partner because she hopes it will reach out to younger women.

He started by insisting: “I don’t care at all about backlash or cancel culture. I care about hurting people’s feelings, believe it or not.

I know James Argent has had a hard time and I don’t want to criticize someone who is vulnerable.

“But at the end of the day, I’ve somehow become the poster girl to fight against the grown men, the powerful men, the famous men who date teenagers. I did not choose that life, that life chose me.

“I don’t think it’s controversial to say it’s gross or weird and I’m very happy to keep banging on that drum for as long as it takes.”

She added: “And I’m not talking to the men, because that’s what I get the backlash about, I’ve got all these men in my messages saying, ‘Oh, sorry, he’d rather go out with a Ferrari than an old man. banger and he doesn’t want you”, like he ever gave them the time of day!

“But I’m not talking to men at all because I understand there are a lot of people who find that age group attractive, I’m not going to solve that problem.”

“I am speaking to young women because I have the ear of many adolescent girls and young women.

I look at my audience and I have people my age, I have couples, but I also have a lot of teenagers, so even if one of them hears what I’m saying and says, “Ew, maybe that guy is into me because he wants to boss me around or Because women her age don’t talk to her, maybe she’ll let it go.”

She quipped, “I’m basically Leonardo DiCaprio trying to reach as many young women as I can.”

Katherine previously criticized James, 34, for dating actress Stella Turian, 18.

TOWIE star James and Stella have been together for over eight months after meeting at a wedding in Mykonos last year.

They are in a long-distance relationship because Stella, who is 16 years Arg’s junior, lives in her native Italy, while James resides in Buckhurst Hill, Essex.

Katherine took to her Instagram stories in brutal fashion where she hugged her little daughter Fenna Grace, while giving the camera a grumpy look.

Katherine zoomed in on her unimpressed face in a video and captioned it: “Me a mom finding out a 35 Towie star has an 18 year old girlfriend.”

Katherine also called Leo creepy on Twitter for his rumored affair with 19-year-old model Eden Polani.

After news broke about the actor, 48, who has a penchant for dating women under the age of 25, she posted a series of bewildered tweets about him.

When a fan asked the comedian what the ‘crime’ was because Leo and Eden are adults, she replied: ‘No crime, just a creepy pattern.’

It came after she quoted and tweeted a post saying, “Not enough people are talking about Leonardo DiCaprio being in his late 50s, ‘approaching’ a 19-year-old,” and responded, “This is literally all I can do.” that I have”. spoken for SEVEN YEARS.’

She also wrote “uh huh” in response to a separate tweet that said, “the power dynamic of her age, her wealth, and her fame over a 19 year old is truly repulsive.”

The star also quipped: “This year, Titanic got too old for Leonardo DiCaprio to be in it” after author Caitlin Moran wrote: “I feel like he has a titanic trauma.”

“He’s dating women like he’s still the age he was when he filmed, and he’s ALWAYS vacationing on a yacht. The guy needs some EMDR.

Elsewhere in the chat, Katherine talked about how she finds it “fun” to hit back at her online trolls.

She said: ‘It’s not hard for me to receive negativity at all, I don’t really care, I’m so lucky I don’t care.

“The only obstacle to returning the applause is that the younger generation has taught me that some people are not mentally healthy and have other problems that contribute to trolling.

“So every time I clap, I’m only having fun if I look at the person’s profile and can judge if they might be struggling with something or if they’re just obnoxious.”

“I just try to applaud people who are usually unpleasant and I think it’s a lot of fun. And I think it’s an example for not taking yourself too seriously and I don’t feel guilty because if they come for me they’re going to find out very quickly that they’re coming for the wrong one.

She added: “It’s fun, it’s bullying in the right way.”

Ahead of the Oscars, Katherine supports Gousto’s Flavor That Pops campaign, which introduces a spectacular new menu of popcorn flavors, inspired by his best-selling recipes.

Speaking about the campaign, she said: “I love Gousto, we have a really organic relationship because my husband and I have been getting the recipe boxes since 2018 or 2019, and it’s just delicious, adventurous food that you cook at home and not every box of recipes is like that.

“This has got us hooked we don’t even order takeout anymore it’s been so good for family family meals and I love that they do popping flavors for the Oscars because I stay home and watch the Oscars with popcorn .

‘It’s a really good way to remind people how many flavors there are in Gousto. So I was excited to collaborate on some of those flavors.’
