Katie Price is a mess and seems beyond help?

This is the result of throwing a young girl into the sex industry at such a young age.

Whilst I will never agree with most of Katie’s choices in life surely we can all see that she is damaged. My dd is the same age as Katie when she first started out in the industry. Never in a million years would I agree to my dd fucking her life up in the same way.

Katie has been exploited and abused most of her life and as a result she will never recover enough to live a fully happy and content life.

She should never have had children or pets. She can not look after herself let alone anyone else. But how come everyone piles onto her regarding her life choices? She didn’t use a turkey baster, there were men involve here too. Why does she have to take all the wrap? They must have been fully aware of her unstable ways yet happily had children with her. They are just as bad, if not worse as they are amongst the many many men who have taken advantage of her.

I feel truly sorry for her, she will never rest.

you are describing the average trashy brit here

Pete used her for fame and then dropped her to portray this holier than thou life and perfect person. He was not nice to her

turnips4u, ah that makes sense then. Claire is the one I was thinking about. She was probably behind the reinvention from Jordan to Katie Price. The OK mag days with Peter & the kids (which he’s now doing to brilliant effect with Emily). That was the right direction… I think their divorce really ruined KP.

Again this

I did meet her. Years ago. When H was young and at blind school near me

She did seem nice. Obv that was over a decade ago and things change

She did bring up H by herself. No help from useless famous rich dad and he gets away with it

I think she is Troubled and seeks attention hence all the magazine articles about ivf surgery moving homes etx

She def needs help and therapy

I'm not sure putting her in prison would help but equally if it was jo bloggs being done for drink driving /no insurance /being banned etx what would happen to them ?

I do think she will die on an operating table - there is only so much a body can take

Equally she was so pretty when younger and small boobs

Why the need for so much plastic surgery and Botox etx. Not just her but like the towie girls. Having it at 20/25

What will they look like at 40/50

Addiction issues.
Childhood trauma
ADHD
Probably bipolar.
These are all contributing factors to her current mental state.
She's not a well woman.
Plenty like this, just not in the public eye.

I hope she finds peace

On one of the podcasts she said she wanted as many children as she could "because she loves chaos" ...not because she loves babies/children...

I think she has a lot of psychological issues, and has been badly treated and taken advantage of....but has also badly treated others (and animals) She's previously been in a position where she could probably afford the best level of therapy available, and probably the best lawyers to get her out of trouble

The papers write shit for money, don't believe everything you read

Maybe she just needed a better manager / PR / accountant?

She had a great manager- Claire, but she turned on her and make slanderous untrue accusations about her that awarded Claire damages in court. Her accountant used to be her brother who managed her money really well and that was when she got to her highest value of 40 odd million. But she sacked him too. This isnt an issue with good PR or money- she had that and got rid of both.

She needs prison for her drink/drugs driving. An absolute disgrace. Her poor animals. Feel sorry for her children too but at least they have their fathers or social services to monitor.
The surgeons and “beauty therapists” who enable her to have the enormous boobs etc need sacking too.
Just yuck all around.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that. She needs a prison sentence for the safety of other people. Bad or ill, she doesn't have the right to endanger other people and and kill multiple animals.

a wonderful mother unless you are Katie Price, or an acolyte how do you and her staunch defenders on here know this?!!

It’s sad seeing her like this. I remember when she started out. I think having Harvey, with his health issues & special needs, has a much bigger impact on her than we give her credit for. She was a young mum, and the father wasn’t interested. Hasn’t she done a documentary about it?

What annoys me is that there’s so many plain girls out there now, doing what she more or less invented (being a glamour model celebrity) with all sorts of facial procedures, boob jobs, fake bums, Barbie hair. KP actually had something in her heyday. And she’s had a lot of creative output, more than most.

Maybe she just needed a better manager / PR / accountant? The woman who looks after Peter seems to be amazing, but I know her & KP fell out. Her older kids seem to be doing well, and could have commercial success. Princess is gorgeous! I don’t know how things are going to end up for KP…

Her younger son hasn't been to school for a long time = reckless with his education.

Her youngest daughter is illegally online regularly doing live streams wanting attention from strangers = reckless with her safety.

Owes nearly one million for unpaid tax alone and another couple of million to various other parties = reckless with money and doesn't care about stiffing people.

Many animals have died in her care = reckless with their safety.

Has driven drunk and on drugs enough times to have been arrested and rolled at least one car on drink and drugs = reckless with our safety.

Has had so many surgeries = reckless with her own life.

There's a theme developing here.

It's true she rarely sees Harvey.

She is keeping one child off school completely and isolating him.

It's not a great picture at all and those who say she is a good mum don't realise what is really going on.

Define 'wonderful mother', @Thatslife18

She's a narcissist. She doesnt care about getting better or seeking mental health support. All she cares about is attention and being seen a sex symbol.

She had the opportunity to sort out a payment plan to HMRC but she didnt. She didnt even turn up to any of her bankruptcy hearings. She drives drunk over and over again despite pretending she feels "ashamed" about it. She keeps killing animals despite claiming she's really upset about it. FGS, look at her actions, not her words. Any time she has to take responsibility she wheels out the trauma excuse for a pity play.

She. Does. Not. Care.

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.

So she gets a free pass for all her awful behaviour, causing the deaths of animals in her care, all the driving violations and crimes.

Absolute no sympathy for her. I always thought she has been completely controlling towards her boyfriends , it's like she always controls the narrative. She loves the limelight and obviously now that her hay day is over she's looking for attention. Shes always been unhinged but at 45 now she's well past it and that probably makes her even more so. She should have controlled her money better, treated those in her life better and respected the rules of the law. She had it very good and was extremely lucky in life. But instead she blew it all and has nobody to blame but herself. As pps said she could have killed someone while drunk driving her Range or whatever. Those poor animals & kids.

Shes had a lot of trauma in her life and you only see whats printed in media. She is neuro divergent for sure and has always been painted the villain in all her relationships

She’s a total mess and has many issues that clearly have never been solved. Underneath the ‘Pricey’ act, the horrendous surgery, the obsession with being in the media, I think she probably is a decent Mum and the children (from what we see of them), seem to be well brought up. I thought she’d one day give up the media, just want a quiet life in the country with her kids and horses (like Jodie Marsh), but she clearly prioritises being in the media over anything else.

Honestly OP, why do you care? This post says more about you than it does about Katie Price. Please remember she’s an actual human being.

@Mitsky

Yes I listened to the 'How to fail' episode the other day.

I do think she makes some incredibly poor decisions, however, she has been through a lot which I think all stemmed from her childhood. Her dad leaving (huge abandonment issues, leading her to pick partners poorly) and being sexually assaulted at age 7.

I do think she has done a lot around highlighting trolling, particularly with her son Harvey.

I wish she had some good effective management throughout her life and good role models. TBH, I just feel sorry for her.

Yes. If you want to lose weight it is better to eat more calories than less because of the way the body (and mind) deal with deprivation.

And I think current advice is to avoid eating less than 1200 cals per day if you are trying to lose weight.

Yes exactly. A major part of therapy is engaging with it and using the tools you've learnt to apply them to your life. A therapist isnt a magician- they can help you but you have to help yourself. She clearly isnt doing that. It just annoys me when people say "she needs help"- she's had help but its going to be useless if she isnt committed to helping herself.

Meanwhile, she's putting other people's lives at risk and killing animals in her care which isnt ok and it doesnt make it ok just because she's had past trauma. I wonder if the people defending would still be doing so if she knocked over their child in her pink car. Would it still be ok then because "she needs help"?
