Some of us have a phobia of spiders. Others are afraid of the dark. There’s even some who come over all trembly at the thought of heading to the dentist. And then there’s Mike Amess. His phobia puts all of our puerile angsts into proportion.
He’s afraid of the Kardashians. (And no, it’s not April 1st – this is for real). Put Mike in a desert laden with snakes, on a white water raft or in a room with no windows and he’ll likely be fine. But stick him in front of the TV during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and he’s a trembling wreck. (Let’s be honest though – who isn’t?)
Retail assistant Mike, 24, from Exeter comes out in a cold sweat whenever he sees or hears any member of the famous family. While most men his age embrace the semi-naked pictures of Kim plastered all over the internet, Mike is reduced to vomiting in his toilet at the mere sight of her. Poor guy.
Explaining just how bad it gets, he said: ‘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
It must be difficult being Mike, given that you can’t log on to the internet, switch on the TV or browse magazines without being bombarded with news and images of the US family clan.
Mike, who is gay, admitted his first encounter with the Kardashians came when he watched Kim’s infamous sex tape as an attempt to test his feelings towards men.
He continues: ‘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.’
And as he continued his efforts, things only got worse. He added: ‘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.’ A metro.co.uk report.
