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’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 never really watched the show but I'm shocked to read this. Surprised it got swept under the carpet, though I suppose because of Katie's rep, she'll always be painted as the one in the wrong in any relationship.
Does anyone know why they really broke up? He talked about something unforgivable.. I heard she cheated with her horse trainer but not sure if it's true?

I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I’m a bit of a TikTok junkie at almost 40. But I’ve thought the same since seeing compilation videos of his abuse

ekinsu · 30/06/2022 23:47

I thought the same about their kids watching it back. I hope they do to be honest. He’s disgusting in some of the clips I’ve watched recently

Ive always thought this
Kate although she has her faults ,she is an open book.all the men shes met have let her down.P.Andre is strange and controlling,hate the way he goes on about his daughter not being allowed to get dressed up,all said in so called jest but never quite in jest.its like a creep always recognises the creep in others.

he was an enormous cunt to her. The first time around I can’t remember thinking much of him but rewatching it all these years later I actively think he’s abusive

@ekinsu!
This wasme just now! Isnt it so bizzare how we all thought he was so innocent and she was the devil. Its insane..ive rewatched it after all these years and cant believe it. Like watching a totally different argument to the one I remember and the one that was so publisised for her being so awful to him. What the hell were people thinking?! He was bloody horrible. Really put me off him now! I wonder if their kids have come across it (its so easily accessible; clearly demonstarted this evening) I wonder what they think.
How awful

There's lots of tiktoks flying about atm on this exact topic. Lots of old footage of them together showing how abusive Peter was
