This is a random thread..if you arent interested in Katie and Peter please dont bother reading...
Just had a binge watch of old episodes of Americas Next top model on youtube and it showed me Katie and Peter stateside - their opd documentary..I used to watch it and love them as a couple together. Was gutted when they split but like everyone else at the time I remember thinking how awful Katie was and how she was in the wrong during that infamous massive row they had in that shop in LA.
It pops back up and so I watch it again, near in mind this is after years of me seeing ir. And cant believe it! Its like a brand new argument - completely saw this in a different way.
Pete was the onein the wrong, not Katie. In fact he was awful, actually abusive? Swearing at her calling her a f*king b**ch, "a cow", "you think youre gonna get away with it?"
Bleeding hell, if this isnt abusive I dont know what is! Im more in shock because I remember all the stick KP got, the hate campaign and the "team Pete" . He deserves a medal and all that bollocks.
It just doesnt make sense. How can anyone see it for what itnwas? In fact watching it again, KP hardly spoke..it was all Pete winding her uo, qlmost goading her and then blasting her when she bit back at him..Im just really shocked I guess....😶 makes you wonder how things can get so easily misrepresented.
What does everyone think?

Why is he abusive though? If she was all innocent then he'd be highly unlikely to call her those things. TV will only show what they think you want to see, rather than reality. I'm not saying either of them are perfect, but there does seem to be this general consensus that all woman are victims and all men are bastards on here. Katie's behaviour has been shocking recently so she certainly has the mentality to be abusive. I can't say I've seen the same about Peter, recently.

Do you know them personally @ItsSnowJokes

Literally everyone here is speculating, only informed from the shite they pick up in the media.

EvilPea · 01/07/2022 09:18

I feel for her, she’s a lost woman who needs a lot of therapy. every relationship she’s had people have wanted stuff off her. Has anyone been in her life because they want to be? Peter Andre is no exception, given they had the same management they did a good job of spitting her out.

i haven’t followed this much at all but did he do well in the divorce? It’s actually hard to earn the lifestyle he has - private schools (x4), top cars, huge house which must need gardeners and cleaners at a minimum, contribution to street security. I’d say £500k+ a year to maintain that lifestyle. He was popular but never stratospheric, tours barely break even..
To me it looks like he got a great divorce deal and had help in investing it wisely. It also seemed to be the start of her financial worries.

‘A great divorce deal’? He probably got a fair and legal split of the assets, which is what we would all hope for, right? Perhaps he got good advice, perhaps she didn’t. Doesn’t make either of them good or bad.

Goggle787 · 01/07/2022 09:15

It's often the case that abusive partners are lovely to their next partner. Thinking of Mark Wright from Towie, remember how he was to Lauren, calling her '19 stone' and banning her from his events despite tons of other women being there. Can't imagine him being like that with Michelle?

Earpieced · 01/07/2022 09:15

It’s possible the root of all her money problems are men, having endless surgery, flash cars and holidays but she’s also just always trying to escape her own life. She can’t stay home and do school runs, it’s not fulfilling to her. She is addicted to drama

Beefcurtains79 · 01/07/2022 09:12

Nick Lachey was horrible to Jessica Simpson, I remember him berating her for spending her own money.
Peter Andre is a total dick, but so is Katie Price.

Thepeopleversuswork · 01/07/2022 09:12

I have a lot of sympathy for her, she is clearly very damaged and has been horrendously bullied by the media and abused by every man she has been involved with. And he is a preening creep.

But it’s a big stretch to call her a good mum. She is really not

tootiredtoocare · 01/07/2022 09:10

I think with her I just always wonder if she'll ever learn. She's strong but always will be a victim to manipulative men. I think that's why she's skint - she's allowed herself to give her all to men who know that's the kind of person she is and they will be able to profit from her. I always get the feeling she needs a support network of good women, she doesn't seem to have any female friends.

CrikeyAlmightyOk · 01/07/2022 09:08

I has the exact same thought a couple of months ago.
A random episode was on, god knows what channel and I watched it.
I used to watch it years ago but this time saw it differently. He was bloody awful. I couldn't believe the way he was speaking to her and actually said to my partner "I feel like I'm seeing this differently now I'm older". (I'm mid 30's now).

Same with the Newlyweds (with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey! 🤣).

Some of you probably don't know what this is but I used to love that programme. And I see that differently now too, because he was a disgrace the way he treated her.

YouOKHun · 01/07/2022 09:07

Someone I know did some ghost writing for KP. She expected to loathe KP and thought PA was fine. After many hours of contact over the months she found herself liking KP but absolutely loathing PA and feeling he was not a very nice person at all.

Knowivedonewrong · 01/07/2022 09:04

Katie Price is certainly no mother! She has only access 1 day a week to her youngest kids for two hours. After the alleged slapgate her current squeeze is not allowed around the youngest children. Harvey is in residential the best place for him. She parades him around nightclubs for a 6k fee!
She's a convicted criminal. Having many driving offences, in court again next week for another. Proven in court to have broken her restraining order against her ex husbands partner. Has a revenge porn conviction for another ex husband.

She's one seriously disturbing individual, enabled by her family.

Earpieced · 01/07/2022 09:04

i absolutely identify her vulnerability if you think of Kerry Katona, I have always had a huge amount of empathy for her, she’s had a terrible childhood and is very vulnerable and was exploited. Kerry chose the path of children and sobriety and seems to still be chaotic, but has her priorities set on her kids ultimately and is open and honest. Kp is an integral part of her own toxic game, playing the media and exes it’s all so extremely toxic. I do believe many people have tried to help her she always rejects it. Now she’s on a path of self destruction

onmywayamarillo · 01/07/2022 09:03

Agreed @Elfblossom

Beefcurtains79 · 01/07/2022 09:03

Peter Andre is a prick for sure, but as far as Katie’s behaviour goes it’s always, always someone else’s fault. Her youngest daughters school has a restraining order against her as she was screaming cunt and threatening their stepmother in front of all of the children - and it was by no means an isolated incident.
’Bloody good mum’ indeed.

HRTQueen · 01/07/2022 09:01

she has a team of lawyers

her mh issues should never be used an excuse she is able to take on responsibility for her actions she chooses not to

bro101 · 01/07/2022 08:23

@ReneBumsWombats well I don't know much about singing and didn't want to be rude as I've no clue 😂😂

😆

Well, she absolutely can't. I don't think you need to be a trained professional to hear how bad that is!

He's not brilliant but he's passable.

Sound engineers did a good job.

goldengirlsoncraic · 01/07/2022 08:59

So she's basically picked the new fella,all her kids have gone to live with their fathers.
And Harvey it seems has been shipped to residential care.

I loved her in the Jungle,she really showed people the real her.

Then fucked it up by picking crap men over and over again.

She's been done for harassing some exes gf.
I think it's time there's an intervention on her behalf,as it's not going to end well for her.

Mumoblue · 01/07/2022 08:59

I always thought he was a slimy git, even before they broke up he set off my creep alert. I’m not a fan of her either.

But it does seem like the general public need to declare one person the “bad one” and one the “good one”. I mean just look at the Amber Heard thing. Saying “it seems like both of these people suck and were terrible to each other” isn’t as exciting as having an angel and an evil monster out to ruin them.

HRTQueen · 01/07/2022 08:59

I think they were both awful to each other

but KP and her desire to be in the public eye comes before everything. There is no excusing some of her behaviour and certainly not that she has mh issues it may drive some of her behaviour but she doesn’t take responsibility

any attention is good attention for KP and where is she now oh on holiday with yet another man who is disruptive to her children

KalvinPhillipsBoots · 01/07/2022 08:59

LetitiaLeghorn · 01/07/2022 06:01

"I didn't know he was awful to her. That's sad. Is that why she keeps breaking the law"

Stupid post. She has addiction and MH issues going on.

She's been repeatedly banned from driving and is now on a suspended sentence for drink driving with no licence. She's back in court on 5 July for yet another driving offence. She's just lucky she hasn't seriously injured, never mind killed, someone. Mental health issues do not make you incapable of understanding about breaking the law. So if she is incapable of controlling her actions, then she should be suitably confined not constantly let off with fines.

Of course Mental Health issue can impact your understanding of the law?

Kanaloa · 01/07/2022 08:54

And unfortunately I don’t think she’s a great mum. I do think she loves her kids but in reality love isn’t enough. Being a good mum (or dad) means putting your kids first always and dealing with your own issues with a fierce determination so they don’t impact your kids.

bloodyplanes · 01/07/2022 08:53

I don't particularly like KP but I've always thought that PA isnt as sweet and nice as he likes to portray. Its a facade he hides behind.

Kanaloa · 01/07/2022 08:52

I think he’s a highly unpleasant individual and she’s an extremely vulnerable (although not less unpleasant) woman. But unfortunately because of her vulnerability these very unpleasant men will always seek her out.

What’s weird is that I grew up in and out of care and living in bad areas and I knew lots of women just like Katie Price. Chaotic, vulnerable, loads of bad relationships, social services involvement. And they were massively looked down in like the scum of the earth despite actually just being vulnerable women where there was little real help available. And yet someone thought it was a good idea to give her a TV show so the whole world could say she was awful/chavvy/the devil in human skin.

CaptainMerica · 01/07/2022 08:50

I am no Katie fan, but from the very, very start, I thought all the "I love Katie, but I don't love Jordan" bollocks = "I love you when you act the way I want you to".

Never liked him.
