Katie Price is a mess and seems beyond help?

Probably time for her to be sectioned to be honest!

Do you see how the first part of your post is completely contradicted by the rest?

You don't give a shit about KP or her kids, you just wanted to slag her off.

At least own it and stop pretending.

Not that I give a monkey's about him really, but Peter Andre is 51, and was party to some dubious publicity choices for five years of that when involved with the dominant personality of Katie Price. I always find it weird that people pigeonhole him for that.

Katie should have been locked up long ago.

The accounts of her sexual assaults don’t match up with what others (and she herself has said) in the past. ITV all but denied she was raped.
Junior and Princess seem to have very little to do with her these days

Successfully raising a child with Harvey's issues is definition enough. Try walking in those shoes before judging.

Urgh.

I wish KP all the very best, and hope she gets and fully engages with the help she needs. I wish her kids well too.

My grievance is twofold.

1. Her celebrity and MH problems seem to get her out of being accountable. If she is bankrupt, why isn't her possessions repossessed? Her home? Her horses? That infamous pink Range Rover? How can the system allow her to carry on spending when any Joe Bloggs out there would be starting from scratch. Why is her car not being seized and and she not facing a custodial sentence for the repeated motoring offenses? An ordinary person would have lost their house and possessions worth anything, and been sent to prison for the animal deaths and motoring offenses, why is she still allowed to rattle around in a mansion, live the celeb lifestyle when council estate Kate would have the book thrown at her? Its the injustice. The feeling that she gets away with stuff that a) she shouldn't and b) others wouldn't.
2. My other issue is that her celebrity and popularity as an extremely sad reflection the populations intelligence. She did some modelling? There are women out there who actually do things. Invent vaccines, run companies, go into politics. Lets celebrate them, not a car crash of a human who used to show her boobs 20 years ago. As a population we've fueled her, we've made her rich multiple times. She hasn't done anything worthy of the adoration. And her story has led to an army of young women who think that she is a role model which is even more sad.

Ahh tabloids. Known for their fair unbiased representation of all and solid unwavering ability to stick to the facts.

Engage your brain.

I think it will end in tragedy, the constant surgeries must get increasingly risky given the amount she has had and her increasing age. Then there are the allegations of substance use and the mass of debt. I wonder how she will cope when she is in her 50's and beyond.

And the record of this is...where? Who said it - Katie Price herself?

This is what I was referring to in my previous post. I think KP really loved him and has never quite recovered. It has to be hard for her seeing him and his wife being a “golden couple” when PA certainly wasn’t a family fave before he met her.
I also accept PAs wife is a doctor - but she can still be a doctor and be smug. It doesn’t take away from her achievements, it’s just how I perceive her .

Also she kept her kids from their Dad Kieran due to a crooked social worker. He might not be a perfect person but he’s a good Dad who offered them stability alongside his partner Michelle ( who I have heard from local people is a really lovely woman)
Katie repeatedly made things up about Kieran and had him arrested but no charges were ever brought. Social services have been involved with her kids because she isn’t safe as a parent

Ever since I read that she was raped when she was 7, I just think - leave her alone. What good does a thread like this bring anyone?

I dont think that Peter Andre was without his faults- he seemed very judgemental and controlling.
Katie Price is awful. She’s a complete narc and takes responsibility for nothing. She lives near me and she’s a mess

I didn't say anything of the sort. I simply said that I think he'd done a number on her - there's video footage of some reality show with them in and he was a real bastard to her.

At the other end of bankruptcy is people not being paid; at the other end of drunk driving is the potential to kill others. I have little sympathy; sometimes, one or two things go wrong in anyone's life, but with all the wealth she's had and the opportunities that brings, she really should have got her shit together by now. And it's going to get harder and harder for her to make money as she gets older, as her body was her main thing. The money she's wasted what good could it have done?

She has always been a mess. Things happened to her in life, her coping mechanisms are poor. It can happen to anyone, unfortunately she's in the public eye, which I think exacerbates everything. So many people are living similar lives in private - but obviously because she's had money and fame it's on another level with her.

Yeah, blame PA- before that she was a perfectly lovely girl...😂

Bitching about her on a chatboard isn't going to get it done, is it? You are being entirely disingenuous.

Why isn't there a thread about the work of MADD (Mothers Against Drink Driving)? That would be far more informative and perhaps effective since so many are talking of it in relation to KP.

It wouldn't though have the gossip value, I get that. I agree with daisychain01's post.

I think people need to stop commenting on other people's misfortune and treating it like salacious gossip.

I think Peter Andre did a real number on her and she's never been the same since.
@MsRachelHasSavedMySanity
I think there is an element of truth to this.

LOL at comparing women being murdered brutally for being a bit different or having an opinion to a woman who repeatedly flouts the law and behaves very dangerously.

Get a grip

Peter Andre is a complete and utter abusive arsehole and was a faded 90's pop star past his prime who was trying to reignite his fame star. What has he actually done since apart from singing, TV presenting and appearing on TV shows, as either a judge or guest or 60 Minute Makeover? He must be over the moon to be married to Emily who has a good job. I'm sure Katie is lovely face to face but must be very hard to live with, work with etc.

My aunt used to live near where Katie lived when it was in the countryside or where she was brought up and says she horse rides a lot but didn't say much else about her.

Obviously I meant drink driver. Sorry.

I hope she gets the help she needs. To me she is the very example of what’s wrong with the ‘I take my clothes off because it empowers me as a woman’. Being famous for large boobs and a willingness to act like a male fantasy is shallow and, eventually, a route into poor mental health.
when your self-worth is based on shock value, there’s only one way it can go.
I suspect she has a personality disorder, formed in no small part by hideous experiences and expectations in her career.

Nobody is beyond help.
