Nobody Likes Avril Lavigne

Hilarie Burton, an MTV VJ, said of Avril Lavigne in the August 2003 issue of CosmoGirl: “Nobody wants to interview Avril Lavigne. I haven’t met a single person who likes her. We wanted her to come on TRL, and as a dare, we wanted her to dress really girlie. So I’m standing there, and my boss says to Avril, ‘We’ll just put you in some of Hilarie’s heels and skirts-you know, you guys are like the same size.’ And she looks at me, and she goes, ‘I don’t wear that sh*t!’ And I’m like, ‘Hell no. No you don’t.’ If you look at her, you’d think she’s in a band like Rancid. But she’s not. I don’t like when this girl is talking about punk music, and she doesn’t know a thing about it. And when she came on MTV for New Year’s Eve, she was just bossing people around. And she’s not good to her fans. She makes fun of posers and says, ‘I hate people who are posers.’ Except all of her fans dress just like her. They’re all posers. I think she’s very apathetic, and for someone in her position, that’s an irresponsible thing to be.”
