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?

Do you remember when she used revenge porn against Alex Reid? She’s lovely.

That doesn't mean Andre wasn't abusive though, people are invariably not 'perfect victims'. She desperately needs help, but as is the system in this country, they'd rather just keep arresting someone than offering any tangible help or support. She used to seem to be a good mum before she started unraveling in public view where people kept sticking the knife in.

I never understood what Emily sees in him. All very weird.

Sadly all is says to me is even intelligent, well brought up women want to be with someone rich. Of course if she hadn’t married Andre she would have married rich but given her age her partner would have taken a further 10years to become rich and established.

Isaidnoalready · 01/07/2022 06:57

I think the end of there marriage was the beginning of the end for her she spiraled out of control lost her children and spiraled some more he has an excellent pr team and she has form for being a bad girl I don't think she can cope with being in the public eye nor being OUT of the public eye

It's sad to watch

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 01/07/2022 06:55

I always thought this- even if she had cheated (which I don’t think she did), to walk out on your marriage, mother of your two young children, not speak to her and hide behind your agent I thought was despicable.

Soapy · 01/07/2022 06:54

I always thought that Peter is putting on a nice guy doting dad act.

Do you know why he's not allowed around the kids

The speculation is due to domestic violence as the children witnessed it and was then told to keep quiet.

I remember watching an episode of the PA & KP show.

PA was so downright nasty to KP, it was over something inconsequential about how a word was spelled so they could Google it or something. PA didn’t know how to spell the word and when KP was sounding it out to work out how to spell it he was so rude and jeering to her. She did get quite close to spelling the word correctly, enough for Google to pick up what she was looking for.

I was always shocked that the media still held that she was the angry harridan and poor PA. I could clearly see he was really nasty and abusive towards her. I do also remember KP being very upset when she miscarried and they were together when it happened it was on their show.

I think the hate towards KP is PA having the better PR team but also it’s very misogynistic, she’s not the ‘typical victim’.

Lol at those posters saying she's a good mum!

She's a better Mum than Dwight York is a Dad!

Or Peter Andre ... a 'good Dad' doesn't abuse his children's Mother, he doesn't manipulate situations, he doesn't deliberately cause distress to the Mum because he knows that impacts his children.

When you look back at Kates life, I'm not sure how anyone with an ounce of humanity fails to see that she was manipulated from the get go, right back to her teenage years she was groomed and exploited .

I was at the time of her relationship with Andre, A lone voice pointing out that he was abusive ... Andre playing the victim and turning the media even further in the misogynistic frenzy, against Kate fueled the breakdown of her sanity.

Its clear to anyone with more than a passing interest in Psychology that Kate has issues and they've only gotten worse to the point where she finally spiralled out of control on hearing of her beloved Mums terminal illness.

Some people love to blame Katie for everything and yes, she absolutely has some responsibility to carry but those fingers should be firmly pointed at the real villains - the men who've used and exploited her and still do!

Andre still dines out on playing the martyr & victim when he needs a bit of publicity.

He's a creep at best and if the truth came out, a lot worse.

I know the trainer through a mutual friend and she said he was happy to go along with the rumours because it was publicity for him but nothing actually happened. Just another man with a giant ego 🙄

Well he says to say that as his wife would have gone nuts if not! Not that he seems to care about his wife if he is happy for the rumours to continue for publicity.

I always thought he was awful to her and couldn’t understand why others couldn’t see it

that row in the Segway shop was was vile

i bet Emily parents were gutted

Emily’s dad introduced them, and encouraged the relationship 🤮🤮

TooManyAnimals94 · 01/07/2022 06:41

Quoted wrong post- that was in reply to the comment about the dressage trainer.

TruJay · 30/06/2022 23:57

I’ve never been keen on him and thought Katie got so much stick and the blame for everything. I’ve always liked Katie, she’s a bloody good
mum. Very strong dealing with what she has.
I haven’t seen the clips or programme you mention but I’ve always felt she got a rough deal in the aftermath of their relationship.

I know the trainer through a mutual friend and she said he was happy to go along with the rumours because it was publicity for him but nothing actually happened. Just another man with a giant ego 🙄

Beefcurtains79 · 01/07/2022 06:37

She spelt her own child’s name wrong when she wished him a happy birthday, onlinebof course- from her latest drug-fuelled bender holiday with her boyfriend whom they all hate.

Also she has lost custody of 4 of her children as SS deemed her a risk. She has 2 hours a week with them and it has to be supervised and the latest bloke can't be around them. So I think that shows exactly what she is really like.

Do you know why he's not allowed around the kids

girlmom21 · 01/07/2022 06:25

They're both awful people.
Seeing him with his very young and intelligent wife is sad. She could have done so much better.

Lol at those posters saying she's a good mum!

I know right! It's as if they all know something that social services doesn't! She is a terrible mum, who uses her children for her own financial gain and doesn't give a shit about the kids. She prefers drugs and men to her kids and she has shown it blatantly for years.

How she had the cheek to say in court that she couldn't go to prison because of her children and then fucks off on holiday the next day missing one of the children's birthday in the process I will never know.

RBKB · 01/07/2022 06:24

@TruJay I know people who know her. She's a really awful mum. Just sayin.

Beefcurtains79 · 01/07/2022 06:20

‘A bloody good mum’ ? Social services clearly disagree with that as she has lost custody of all of her children.

I've seen the videos, this one of Dwight Yorke is horrendous.

I honestly don't know how she hasn't had a complete and utter mental breakdown with the pressure she must be under.

She can be her own worst enemy but her heart is in the right place.

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.

bro101 · 01/07/2022 05:57

I've never liked him. So fake. Whatever does Emily see in him?
