So the Torygraph's Allison Pearson is once again boosting her credentials as the most hated, most unhinged, brazenly unethical & grotesquely repellent 'commentator' in Britain since Katie Hopkins. Going for someone based on their looks reveals her deep self-loathing & insecurity. 
Pearson was listed in Spiked as one of many journalists who had been duped by the anti-MMR campaign. This anti-MMR campaign has contributed to the significant rise in measles cases and complications including death that arise from the disease in the UK and elsewhere.
In May 2007 when Madeline McCann went missing Pearson said "This kind of thing doesn't usually happen to people like us."
In May 2008, Pearson upset Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, by suggesting her daughter Princess Beatrice was overweight. On This Morning the Duchess criticised the absent columnist. Pearson denied claims that she had failed to respond to multiple phone calls from the Duchess.
Pearson was criticised for a tweet sent less than an hour after the first of the 22 March 2016 Belgian bombings in which she linked them with the case for leaving the European Union, a position she had supported in a column.
In September 2019, Pearson falsely accused a man with a seriously ill child of wearing a microphone when confronting Boris Johnson, due to him supporting @UKLabour. Despite being presented with evidence that this was not the case, Pearson didn't apology and in fact doubled down.
In December 2019, Pearson falsely claimed that a photo of a child lying on the floor of a hospital was staged & that she had been given “detailed explanation” that the photo was staged. She also said that the photo was “100% faked” (another lie).
The trust that runs Leeds General Infirmary issued a statement which apologised to the family for the fact there were only chairs available in the treatment room the boy was in and no beds. The hospital’s chief medical officer also apologised.
Pearson was declared bankrupt on 9 November 2015, following a personal insolvency order made by the High Court of Justice in London on 9 November 2015. The bankruptcy petitioner was the Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs.
Pearson ended her column for the Daily Mail in April 2010, when she was to join The Daily Telegraph, with a column on her experiences of depression.
And this is the really sad thing: despite suffering with depression herself, she seems driven to cause it in others.
Tragic.
