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?

"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. There's people not put in prison every day, who've committed violent etc offences, because of similar mitigating circumstances.

I can remember when he'd tell her constantly that no-one would want her because she was a Mother of three. There's one episode were she is flashing and he says "they wouldn't want to go near it if they smelt it". I've always remembered it because it's part of the script misogynists use against women. When Katie tried to challenge the negative headlines about her, with the truth, he didn't seem to like it. He never counteracted anything negative said about her and was never honest about her relaunching his career. Katie is very damaged.

"I remember her talking to him like he was a piece of shit on a chat show once,"
Knowing more now about emotional abuse and how victims use public places to hit back, I'd never judge on snapshots.
It's easy for victims of emotional abuse to come across as unhinged. Pete was very toxic. I think as we get older we recognise abuse. There was a lot of misogyny on television. The young women on Geordie Shore and other reality programmes were also subject to abuse but it made good television.

I can’t be the only one who remembers him doing the summer radio roadshows and school tours back in the early-mid 1990s! I’m not going to say anymore as the thread will be taken down, but since reaching adulthood and gaining the perspective of time, I’ve not been able to stand him.

Some sleaze there?

I didn't follow so much but I really like KP. She seems completely open and honest and she absolutely loves her kids and family. PA seems quite arrogant and like he thinks he is amazing when all he has done is one cheesy song.

LovelyYellowLabrador · 01/07/2022 04:50

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

Snowraingain · 01/07/2022 04:46

He's so awful to her. It's really hard to watch. Apparently he's blocked the main tik tock account showing it so he must be aware if it. He was spun as the good guy when he's appalling.

Kitkatcatflap · 01/07/2022 04:25

Pete is a cheesy one hit wonder who used her to springboard his 'celeb' career. I think he binned her off when he thought he was big enough to make it on her own. Its not surprising his new wife is much younger and was a fan.

Yet his new life with 'hands on hips, turn n grin at the camera Emily' is nauseous. All the rare glimpses into their life. All his 'if Princess wants to go on Love Island'. 'If Junior wants a music career'. He would sell his soul for a byline.

I think Katie Price is her own worst enemy, but she has dire taste in men and after all the public let downs she never seems to learn.

Her recent show about renovating 'mucky mansion' was so honest re: the anxiety, depression and dread she felt about her former home. Walking around the place she spoke about the relationship breakdown, the thefts, the vandalism - people breaking in and leaving the taps on deliberately flooding the house. The broken windows that Harvey had smashed in temper. But she came across as likeable, funny and hopeful.

LetitiaLeghorn · 01/07/2022 04:19

Oops, she SHOULD just be in prison.

LetitiaLeghorn · 01/07/2022 04:19

Darbs76 · 01/07/2022 04:09

Yep I went right off Peter soon after the split. Everyone thinks that Pete and Emily are some Gods and Katie is the devil.

Katie is not the devil, she just be in prison.

She ruined herself, she was extremely unpleasant and he was a dick

She cheated om him with a horse rider or setting, got pregnant and Andre realised it couldn't of been his baby and so they broke up. She then went on to have an abortion but claimed it was a miscarriage. That's what ended the marriage.

She was awful to him in that reality show and worse to her kids. You could really see how much she didn't want to be a mum in those. I remember watching one and they were at a theme park and she made the children leave as she wanted to go to the dentist for more veneers.

Peter Andre is and was extremely paranoid. He had a PR team that got everyone on their side and ruined her. He is not a nice person behind all his fakery.

HOTHotPeppers · 01/07/2022 02:57

I remember watching this as a teen and feeling confused why people didn't see he was a massive cunt to her.

Rollingwiththehomies · 01/07/2022 01:45

Do you know them personally @ItsSnowJokes

Geneviev · 01/07/2022 01:35

Is it ok to dislike both of them and just think they are both just massive spoiled entitled cunts, but in their own way?

It was disproved that she cheated on him with her horse trainer, because he was happily married and his wife was very upset, and it was all nonsense.

Its amazing to think the second career that Peter Andre has had from getting married to Katie Price! Is he a bit of a fishwife who goes all abusive when challenged? Its not as if anyone made him marry a former Page 3 girl and raunchy model who lives a very public life after going on a reality tv show now, is it? I mean, she wasn't exactly hiding who she was!

He likes to work the women in his life hard to earn money.

Macbeth8 · 01/07/2022 00:34

@itssnowjokes

Isnt that hear say? How does anyone actually know that? Is there actual any concrete proof? Or an easily spresd rumour? Because I remember the miscarriage happening whilst they were together on their show. Werent they doing the marathon or something and it kept showing her going to the toilet? At the time, it looked like she was just going for wees.
She later revealed she was checking to see if the baby had passed? And how they had just gone to a scan before and and been told their was no heartbeat? She couldnt have made that up.

After seeing this argument, I really doubt Peter. I think all thr stick she went through was atrocious considering how abusive he was. Ive also looked at the TikTok vids and bloody hell hes not only abusive, hes also damn right sexist and misogynistic !!

I think if youve been around a narcissist/abuser for a long time...you start to see Pete for what he is/was.

Noglassjustthebottleandastraw · 01/07/2022 00:29

I used to love watching that program and I remember thinking at the time how vile he was. He's still digging her out years later at every opportunity. I've blocked him on Twitter as his read between the lines shit he says about her. I read a magazine article he done a few months ago and honestly if I was KP I would have sued him.

I really can't stand him now. He's a total limelight grabber anything to put him in front attention. Literally anything going on in the world and he turns it into all about him and his family.

And the whole my perfect marriage/wife/I love my kids.... wtf is that all about!

ItsSnowJokes · 01/07/2022 00:28

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.

Spabreak · 01/07/2022 00:20

That's funny you say that because I remember her talking to him like he was a piece of shit on a chat show once, and she used to order him round like he was a servant.

Definitely not excusing abuse, there's zero excuse for that. But it sounds like a really toxic relationship, like Katie's relationships since, whereas Peter Andre seems to have a really good relationship with his now wife and all his family.

Of course, we never know what goes on inside a marriage, and hopefully Peter has learned from his past experience. I can't imagine he's like that with his current partner.

Horological · 01/07/2022 00:04

Always be suspicious of people who go on about how much they love their kids. Everyone loves their kids. If you need to say it to strangers then you are trying to manage your reputation for some reason.

Horological · 01/07/2022 00:02

I agree and I thought this at the time.
