Katie Price is a mess and seems beyond help?

Reading the tabloids of late and Katie Price seems desperately out of control.

  1. She has been declared bankrupt for the second time, owing nearly £762,000 in debt to HMRC.

  2. She has been caught driving without a licence and insurance again and claimed she did not her attend her court appearance due to her ADHD.

  3. Currently planning on having a baby with her latest boyfriend who she has only been dating for a couple of months.

  4. Constantly making snide remarks about her ex's.

  5. Announced to the whole world on a podcast that she took Gareth Gates virginity when he was 17 and she was 6 months pregnant.

  6. Promoting a low-calorie diet on Instagram where she detailed her meals adding up to only 755 calories a day.
    The NHS states the recommended daily intake is around 2,000 calories a day for women and 2,500 for men.

I know Katie Price has never really had a clean cut image but surely she must realise what a mess she has become?

I’m sure her mother is worried sick.

Any reasonable mother would have washed her hands of her years/decades ago.

I mean I am not a fan of KP but she’s not my DD, my god my kids could never do anything to make me actually disown them

tearsintherain · 04/04/2024 13:37

I've always admired her.
My eldest son has a very severe learning disability (non verbal) and he too is in Adult Care.
I watched the documentaries, and it helped me through a tough time.
I'm sure a lot of other parents in our position feel the same.

Remember that no one believed Chloe Ayling when she said she was kidnapped and sexually assaulted as she wasn’t acting like a victim. Someone was found guilty of the crime.

Peter and Katie were both at the same point in their careers when they went into the jungle. They were both has-beens. The only reason either of them are still so much in the lime-light is because of their relationship- it was mutually beneficial and gave them both a second chance at fame on the back of it with their TV show and many spin off projects from it. It wasn't exactly himusing her while she was all sweet and innocent.

However, PA has managed to get out (probably when he realised he couldn't ever have a normal loving relationship with her as I don't think she's capable of that) and go on to what appears to be a much more normal life. She on the other hand, can't seem to keep her life together without his more steading influence and her only way to keep herself relevant is to be more and more extreme.

She simply takes everything she thinks is making her popular and keeping people talking about her and times' it by ten. Plastic surgery, the size of her boobs, the number of kids, the rape stories, the abuse stories, the trauma, the people that have betrayed her etc.

What strikes me most about Katie is her seemingly complete lack of emotion- she rarely seems visibly affected. Just watch her talking in the immediate aftermath of the carjacking and it appears that the words she says are completely at odds with her body language. Whilst she talks about how scary and frightening it was her body language conveys excitement. Which would be very odd considering she was raped whilst her children watched on which she later claimed.

Let those without sin cast the first stone. Katie Price has been diagnosed with ADHD which definitely contributes to her issues. Most importantly she is a wonderful mother.

She self-diagnosed with ADHD. And I’m not sure how having social services involved, having her youngest filming herself for TikTok playing with a lighter while she was nowhere to be seen and leaving dog shit all over the floors of her house while her kids are there, is being a “wonderful mother”.
Every single thing that comes out of her mouth is a lie. Remember the time she painted bruises on her face and went running to the press about DV and that was all a lie as well?
I cannot fathom that anyone is defending this utter pondscum. Honestly. The police must be utterly sick of her by now.

LassyLook · 04/04/2024 13:25

People with ADHD can be chaotic, but most people with ADHD do NOT engage in the kind of behaviours she does eg. revenge porn, smearing exes, drunk driving, endless plastic surgery, the sex industry etc.

I think it’s far far more likely she’s a narcissist - of course something she would be less keen to publicise!

Totallybannanas · 04/04/2024 13:17

She is a complete mess and needs help. She has had massive trauma in her life and before her ADHD diagnosis I thought she had something underlying. Being raped at 7 years old and then being sexualised and taken advantage by men all through you life is going to have a massive effect on you.

She said she was raped aged 7 in a podcast I watched the other day. She said it didn't mess her up but I'm sure it did.

She’s said that a lot of different times about a lot of different rapes and the story changes every time. She lies without even thinking about it. It’s compulsive.

FullofRusticCharm · 04/04/2024 13:07

I wonder if she is sociopathic. A lot of her behaviours fit.

A lot of children - seen really as possessions or extensions of herself
A lot of pets - each really just seen as possessions to entertain her which can be replaced at will (devoid of real emotion towards them)
Lack of remorse - repeating the same crime over and over again
Reckless behaviour - drink/drugs/driving without license, bankruptcies
Superficial charm that takes people in - look at this thread

Kittycat333 · 04/04/2024 13:05

I don't believe a word that cones out of her filthy lying mouth. She's a revolting person in every way.

Jovacknockowitch · 04/04/2024 13:02

Rosscameasdoody · 04/04/2024 12:20

It’s actually a reasonable comparison. There would have been no need for the ducking stool or burning at the stake if social media had been around in medieval times.

Don't be ridiculous.

Goady and pointless threads on social media don’t exactly help though do they ?

Was op actually trying to "help"? Rather than just discuss something that popped into her head?

I do not think KP is innocent, but she does not deserve the hate and vitriol she receives from media which general public lap up and add to.

Stop drink/drug driving, stop neglecting/killing animals and maybe it'll stop. She brings it all on herself.

She’s a doctor isn’t she? Nice of you to completely dismiss her achievements.

Yes but she’s a doctor living in luxury beyond the means of most people on her salary. She’s also a celebrity doctor and mum.
She is these things due to PA and he is still a celebrity due to KP. He wouldn’t be a celebrity still without having had that association so the lifestyle and fame she has is directly thanks to KP.

That ignorant, vulgar, talentless woman isn’t worth even thinking about. I can’t believe how many people have bothered commenting on her! Have you ever heard her speak? God, she’s so boring it’s beyond words. Katie Price is everything that’s wrong with Britain. She’s celebrity culture in a nutshell - famous for being famous.

Well, you’ve commented.

Source please

My source was an NHS dietitian. The average calorie guides of 2000 and 2500 per day are just that - guides. There are many factors including age, gender, physical and mental health, activity levels, lifestyle and metabolic rate. 2000 for women and 2500 for men is the starting point to be adjusted taking all of the above into account. I’m in my sixties and wheelchair bound. If I ate anywhere near 2000 a day I’d be like the side of a house because there’s no opportunity to burn that amount of energy off, and I’m risking type 2 diabetes as a result because excess energy in the form of carbs is stored as sugar. My partner has type 2 diabetes and has successfully put it into remission via a supervised diet of 750 calories a day for rapid weight loss. I can assure you he’s nowhere near anorexic as a result. Everything is relative and what’s normal for one person may not be for another.

You really need to ask that? About tabloids?

I wonder at the sense of people who can't discern fact from fiction but, anything for salacious gossip and and opportunity to froth away with the other like-minded.

Yes I do. Unless you are saying she hasn’t been convicted of numerous offences, didn’t have a restraining order and breach of it imposed on her and animals haven’t died in her care?

Have they made that up? I’m genuinely asking

FluffyFanny · 04/04/2024 12:49

The police reports for the car-jacking apparently have no mention of her rape.

LassyLook · 04/04/2024 12:48

She just sounds like a text book somatic narcissist to me.

Smear campaigns against exes
Including conviction £150,000 payment
for revenge porn to Alex Reid
Increasing use of plastic surgery
Anything for attention
Superficial charm
Uses her looks to get fuel
Obsessed with looks
Uses children and animals for fuel
No empathy eg for the animals in her care
Superficial and short relationships
Never takes responsibility
Blames everyone else
Self pity when useful
Addiction issues
Ignores the law
No sense of responsibility

@Begsthequestion the car jacking did happen- look at local news from the time - as always Kp embellished with loads of sexual content, more dramatic every time.

If you look at articles from the time to now you can see how she ups the ante every time.

No way would PA have let his 2 kids (he had 100% custody of, she only ever had hols and some weekends) stay in S Africa and go diving the bext day, had his kids mother been raped in front of them

None look traumatised from filming.

Camera people and ItV have all goven conflicting reports, it was some jewelerry and tech equip taken, and they were shoved out of tje way. Not great. But not sexual.

You are simply speculating. And your pondering doesn't even add up.

The car jacking at gunpoint was not traumatising in your mind then. Only if a guy put his hands or other body parts on or in one of the victims would anyone then "look traumatised".

Such ignorant bs.

GoodnightAdeline · 04/04/2024 12:45

YANBU and I don’t understand why so many people defend her or at least think she should be beyond reproach.

She happily made her money and fame selling her image to young girls (and men via magazines) and seeks to influence them into buying her products and promotions via social media.

The fact things haven’t gone well for her doesn’t change that, she deserves scrutiny and tbh I think she doesn’t care about it anyway
