AIBU?

To think that showing the abuse fest that is Katie & Peter on TV is responsible broadcasting?

I was just watching the programme (honestly didn't mean to, was just putting off going to bed!) and I just can't believe what's going on. She has so obviously got a personality disorder and is abusing that poor old Peter Andre!!

He'll say some loving thing to her and she'll be totally abusive back - she's a bully. It just makes my stomach churn. If the roles were reversed, there'd be uproar!!

It's one thing having a jokey 'oh, she wears the trousers in this relationship' type scenario, but that relationship is downright abusive and someone should tell that bloke to get the hell out!! Apart from anything else they've got loads of young, impressionable fans, who will think that this is ok, which is so badly isn't.

I meant AIBU to think that it ISN'T responsible

Agreed ......never have liked her. She's also rapidly reaching the point where she's had so much plastic surgery she's starting to look older than she actually is. Like a 50 year old whose had surgery to look younger iyswim

He's a childish, petulant, sulky attention-seeker who dances, sings, whines and moans to camera every time her back is turned.

She finds him intensely irritating, and it seems to be slowly dawning on her that selling every minute detail of her families' life to the media is not such a great idea.

They deserve each other.

I picked up a sleb magazine while killing some time in the supermarket today (well my mum had the ds's and I was in no rush to get home lol)
In an article about how Peter Andre has told her she is too skinny to be sexy, she

'reminded him that he is nothing without her'

Oh and also that she's obsessed with tanning because she can't stand him being browner than her .... er that will be cos he's GREEK love

Jawjaw, I agree! I think I posted a few months ago saying how much of an emotional bully katie was to him.

I agree he is an annoying tw*t but no one deserves that kind of treatment.

I did watch this last night and I don't reckon their marriage has got a hope in hell.

He's creepy and annoying and leeches off her celebrity. I can't see what she sees in him. have never watched the programme long enough to see her abusing him

It's a constant stream of subtle and not so subtle put downs Mrs Mattie. I think she was worse in the last series but it's early days.

I'm ashamed to admit I'm kind of fascinated by their life! He is an idiot of the highest order, but I still think the way she treats him is very wrong. (Last night, katie: "I wasn't really kissing you, just wanted to give you my herpes.."

Hate their new house, lovely old house so much nicer.

she is vile.

But I don't understand why people watch it really I don't.

I do however agree that if the situation was reversed people would be up in arms about it.

Men can just as easily be victims of abuce as women...

Didn't watch last night but watched the last series. I cant quite figure out if they are always like that or if it is show for the cameras. He is definatly more chilled out then she is tho. She seems to me like another one of the children. Moody and sulky teenager.

Love watching it tho. See how the other side live!

BTW jawjaw I think YABU. It is entertainment at the end of the day, on late at night so young people aren't subject to watching it. People will behave however they like without taking the behaviour of two rich and famous people as a role.

but she has been named mother of the year etc etc.

If this was a man abusing his wife like this (and you don't have to be beating someone up to be abusing them), how would people think about them being named father of the year?

And it is a sad sad world when people admit to finding other people's private lives, which include their family rows and one partner seemingly being abusive towards another entertaining.

Don't watch the show, but saw her on another programme the other day and wondered what the heck she has had done to her mouth?? Looks quite bizarre.

I half saw it for the first time yesterday.

My impression of Peter Andre went up tbh. He's hands on with the kids & I thought he was great with Harvey.

She definately acts up to the cameras i think, yes she talks to Pater Andre like shit for the cameras, it doesnt make her a bad mother though, so why shouldnt she get moty?

I lost all respect etc for Katie Price when I saw the show (same thing, channel hopping....) where she told Peter to "leave him to cry" when he said Jnr was crying in his cot. He was about 3 months old.

Mother of the Year my arse. She needs her tubes tied! She's so badly f*cked up over her body and self-esteem it scares me. Those poor kids.

i think they are a lovely couple and calling her 'abusive' is just daft!

they have a banter tye relationship which is great for celeb tyes a sit keeps the ego in order. Peter has tendency towards big ego so katie is his reality check. She can be evry sweet and loving towards him but is the organiser and planner of the 2 and has a dry sense of humour

not sure bout the recent plastic surgery but katie is a perfectionist so i understand it

i like them both and actually think they are good role models.
