Some guy who is looking for his 15 minutes of fame claims he's so petrified of the Kardashians that the sight of a semi-naked Kim on TV makes him vomit with disgust.
Speaking to reporters, 24 year old retail assistant Mike Amess from Exeter said he breaks out in a cold sweat whenever he sees or hears any member of the Kardashians on his TV.
'Just hearing the sound of the Kardashians' nasal voices or catching a glimpse of them on screen makes me feel nauseous and shaky. My hands get clammy, my breathing gets heavier and I start sweating. Sometimes, I get teary and want to retch.'
Mike, who is gay, says his fear of the Kardashians started when he watched Kim's sex tape with Ray J when he was only seventeen.
"I was raised Catholic and growing up, I tried to repress my sexuality and deny that I was gay. Loads of the boys at school were going on about how good Kim Kardashian's sex tape was. I thought I'd give it a watch in the hope it would turn me on. I downloaded the video and watched it secretly in my bedroom. But the sight of Kim writhing around with her huge bum and the sound of her horrible high-pitched wailing repulsed me. I really wanted to be aroused by her so I kept watching it but she made me feel more and more upset.
"By the end of the tape, I had burst into tears. The experience left me terrified and I never wanted to see Kim's face again. I have come to terms with my homosexuality now but my dread towards her has never left.'
'Kim and her sisters look and sound so similar - they're a mess. They make my stomach churn, I hate it.I dislike everything about them, especially their physical appearance. I don't understand how anyone could find them attractive.I can't stand their voices either. They're so whiny and shrill - it really gets under my skin.'
'It's impossible to get away from Kim, let alone her whole family. Every website or magazine you read has them plastered all over. I really enjoy reading the news but if I see Kim on the cover of a newspaper or a big picture of her across a website, I won't go near it. It makes life really difficult. Sometimes, I miss out on a lot of important news or celebrity gossip because I have to avoid anything which features the Kardashians.'
Mike claims he threw up after accidentally seeing Kanye West's racy music video, 'Bound 2', which features a topless Kim.
"One day, I was lazing about on the sofa in front of the TV. I was skipping through music channels and that video came on. Seeing Kim naked, with her boobs bouncing about like that brought back memories of that horrendous sex tape. It was like reliving that incident all over again. Before I knew it, I was sweating like a pig and throwing up. When I hear 'Bound 2' on the radio now, I have to switch the station immediately.'
He says his fear of the Kardashians has made dating hard for him because a lot of gay people love the Kardashians.
"A lot of the gay community love the Kardashians so it makes dating tough sometimes. I've been romantically involved with several people who like them and each one of these relationships have ended badly. My last boyfriend watched all of their shows and kept up with the celeb gossip surrounding them. He thought the Kardashians were fascinating.
'At first, he found my fear funny and kind of cute. But over time, he wanted to talk about the Kardashians with me and of course, that's not something I was really up for doing.
'We had a big argument once when he demanded to watch the latest episode of 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' whilst I was with him.
'We had a blazing row in which he called my phobia immature and attention-seeking. I ended up storming out of his flat.
'In the end, it became difficult spending time with him and definitely played a role in our break-up.'
Despite his unusual phobia, Mike says he's too embarrassed to see a doctor about it
'I don't know how I could face a doctor about it. I can just see them laughing in my face the minute I told them about my fear of the Kardashians. It would be totally mortifying.'
