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 feel bad for her. I wouldn't want to be her EX but she just seems troubled.

Exactly! I have actually Met Katie a few times and she really isn’t this awful person that she is portrayed to be ! Her life has gone downhill because of the judgement/ set up to fall,mentality . She is clearly reacting to the poor media coverage.

So that excuses drink driving & driving when banned???

She’s always had poor media coverage. Drink driving is not an acceptable reaction to that

I feel really sorry for her. She’s made some bad decisions and hasn’t had a respectful man in her life since Peter Andre. But I keep thinking something must be driving all these poor choices.

I have no sympathy what so ever for her. She should be in jail. She had no regards for the law & seems untouchable.

YaMuvva · 04/04/2024 01:02

Yes Peter Andre (known on MN as The Orange One back in the day) was a passive aggressive verbally abusive shit to her when they had that ITV show. However he has moved on married what seems like a nice lady, they have 3 kids and seemingly a much more stable home than what KP can offer. I agree she has been used and abused but she has what 5 kids now, and they must be put first - being with an out of control and dangerous mother is not the right place for any of them to be

Northernsouloldies · 04/04/2024 01:01

She's 45 and accepts responsibility for absolute fuck all in her life.good mums don't go on a coke run and crash the car,dead pets and other numerous incidents.

Hoe that woman has evaded prison with all her drink driving is beyond me. I just hope the dads are taking care of those poor kids.

LSTMS30555 · 04/04/2024 00:57

I've always liked Katie Price. I think most her Ex's have used & abused her to inflate their own fame/career/profiles!
Since the young age of 17 she's been used by men for her body; I'd like to see anyone who wouldn't have struggled with that once she hit a certain age and had kids and that realisation kicked in.

Katie hasn't had a easy life by anyone's standards surely? I'm more shocked she hasn't had a mental breakdown long before now.
I wish her nothing but the best and really hope in time (after looking after herself properly first) she finds a decent man who loves her like she deserves.

Peter Andre was not respectful to her on any level.

Wasn’t he? I must not remember it properly. I always thought he seemed quite a nice bloke.

I’ll be Googling old article tomorrow 😂

Thought I mis typed and ended up on tattle there for a second.

0sm0nthus · 04/04/2024 00:36

I wish she could get some help for herself😟

Lovethistimeofyear · 04/04/2024 00:35

I didn’t know she killed her animals? Omg 😦

Yes she’s a mess - physically she has had so many procedures done and she looks terrible. She was gorgeous before and it’s sad she felt the need to keep going. I can’t understand why any surgeon or aesthetician would do any procedures on her now - surely it must be bad publicity for them? Plus I would worry about her mental and emotional health too.

Her behaviour over the years has been appalling too, especially the driving offences. That’s just not ok. Be a dick in the privacy of your own home but don’t put other people at risk.

It’s quite sad though to see someone who had so much success, now in such a mess in all aspects of her life. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

She seems very devoted to her oldest child.

Apparently she never visits him. Just trots him out for media opportunities.

QueenBitch666 · 04/04/2024 00:27

She should be locked up for killing her animals. She's a fucking lowlife

piefacedClique · 04/04/2024 00:16

Does anyone really give a shit? She’s a fucking mess and an embarrassment. She thrives off ANY publicity… good or bad…. stop feeding the monster! When headlines stop completely and she gets help it will be better for everyone

meganorks · 04/04/2024 00:13

I don't think it matters, so long as she's getting attention. That's what she needs.

Jessforless · 04/04/2024 00:12

She had such a high point with her reality shows, a lot of public love if I remember rightly, books, merch, perfume. Where did all the money go??

icallitasplodge · 04/04/2024 00:09

Oh and then the other dog got killed didn’t it. She does kill a lot of things when you look at it on paper, so I really hope it’s not an innocent driver she kills next time.

icallitasplodge · 04/04/2024 00:08

I stopped feeling sorry for her when the puppy was crushed in an armchair, and the drink driving, and kids with no seat belts.

Yes she’s had a hard life. Better choices might help her out.

TheMixedGirl · 04/04/2024 00:02

I actually don't mind Katie Price. I quite like her. She is so unapologetic about who she is.

I'll agree the bankruptcies are a bit fucked.

Her exes make snidey comments about her so I don't see the issue?

Did you listen to the podcast? I did I thought it was great fun.
