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?

@SilkFloss , I totally agree , the fact she has a restraining order against her is enough, let alone all the other stuff.

SilkFloss · 27/04/2024 08:23

Well, I don't feel sorry for her in the slightest.

Lex345 · 27/04/2024 08:10

I feel incredibly sorry for her. I genuinely believe her seemingly confident, attention seeking and blasé attitude is a façade; it is an "everything is fine" mask. It hides a whole lot of hurt, pain and "messed up".

My childhood was very messed up. I definitely recognise the "everything is fine mask". Luckily, I made a commitment to myself for stability and have been married for almost 20 years. But it has literally taken that long for me to feel safe to really process the trauma and stop pretending everything was fine. I have not had therapy. But realistically, even if I had-it would have taken years to unpick this before I felt safe to do so.

KP has never had that length of stability in her life to actually process everything. Therapy is pointless if you are not mentally ready for it.

In the meantime, she seeks validation and love from publicity, a string of men who inevitably abandon her, children, animals, plastic surgery, drugs and ostentatious physical possessions. It is incredibly sad to watch. I genuinely hope she finds a safe space to let go of what has happened to her and find peace.

I am absolutely not excusing KP drink driving, hurting animals etc. There being a reason for something isn't an excuse. These are symptoms of the above, though.

Her casual regard to the law is appalling. She should be arrested for contempt. She's wasted everyone's time with breathtaking arrogance.

And taxpayers money! A whole day of court time was scheduled for the hearing. That is not cheap! So judges, barristers etc..... all booked out for a day for her not to turn up. Just a mockery of justice.

And the Sun is reporting that she was seen at an airport today, jetting off on holiday.
Where are the "but she's a great mum" brigade now?

Really ? Instead of court 🙀🙀🙀

RosaMoline · 26/04/2024 19:51

She should be arrested the second she steps back on British soil. It’s an absolute outrage.

RosaMoline · 26/04/2024 19:49

Easipeelerie · 26/04/2024 19:46

When she does her podcast with her sister, they both come across as simple and fairly pleasant.

Well she’s not pleasant. Stop making excuses for her!

So that negates the animal killings, the drink and drug driving, the lying, the cheating, the tax evasion, the other creditors who have been waiting 5 years for any money, the double concurrent bankruptcy? Just cos she seems nice. She is scum, absolute scum. She has told lies to keep those kids away from their dad's (now thankfully 4 of tham back in safe homes with their dad), she lies constantly to the court about her mental health and then fucks off on holiday. One bankruptcy hearing she did over zoom from the Maldives. If that's not sticking 2 fingers at justice I don't know what is.

How anyone can make excuses for this cunt now is beyond me. She is making a mockery of the courts now. Going off on holiday while missing court is just a joke. I bet that judge really wishes he had issued an arrest warrant now.

I literally have no words. 🤬

It is disgusting she has got away with it again. Fucks sake. How she can send her assistant to give in a private sick note astounds me. If this was you or me, we would have been locked up a year ago! And now she gets another 6 months to spend her money, going on holiday etc.....

At least it looks like she has lost custody of the 2 younger kids, so it is just her in that shit pit of a house now. Well her and the bent social worker Lynne Rickwood.

I agree with you 💯%
And yet, there are some here on MN that defend her to the hilt. On this thread as well as previous ones. I don’t get it. 🤷‍♀️

@OhhhhhhhhBiscuits , totally agree with you , the fact that one of the younger children was trying to make there own dinner on Christmas Day was heartbreaking.

Everything is about revenge with the kids. She doesn't truly care about them. She wants them to show off and have control over the dads. What those kids will have seen and done is horrifying. The videos that Bunny was putting out horrified me. And yet KP didn't seem to care about the safeguarding issues at all.

And now she's in even deeper shit.
She hasn't turned up for her bankruptcy hearing in the High Court today.
There may well be a warrant put out for her arrest.

I'd have money on her still not ending up behind bars.

Jo Public would have been locked up several times over by now.

SabreIsMyFave · 26/04/2024 13:33

MsLuxLisbon · 05/04/2024 18:55

Disgusting, vile person. The press should stop reporting on her altogether, and she should face criminal prosecution for animal abuse and for her numerous DUIs.

👏

Actually I have my answer - they expected the teacup pig to behave like a dog and not a pig and enough told it off when it was naughty. Fucking idiots. The poor pig no longer wanted when the living creature turned out to have living creature traits rather than be a fashion accessory.

It makes me so fucking angry

Katie Price misses her piggy

Katie Price and Alex Reid have got rid of their micro pig Bingles because he got "aggressive".

MichelleMcBelle · 05/04/2024 18:30

It’s almost like she buys an animal as if it’s the latest accessory, except she can’t stuff them in the back of the wardrobe when she’s bored with them! Instead 7 of the poor creatures have died whilst in her ‘care’! Shame on her!

Again I may be making this up but I’m sure at her wedding with Alex Reid she introduced everyone to her latest pet - a teacup pig. Remember those? It was basically a scam as people were lied to that they’d never grow and they did.

I wonder what happened to that poor pig

I do feel that there is a pathology to some personalities such as Katie Price, which interests me because it helps to explain the behaviour of other people you meet in general life who fit the same profile and who you puzzle over. Amber Heard has been diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder and I think that Katie Price could also easily fall within this this diagnosis:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionicpersonalityy_disorder

@jennylamb1

I just read through the link you posted re: histrionic personality disorder.
Yes, the traits might fit KP, but what jumped out of the pages was almost all the traits mentioned, in particular speech patterns, seem to suit another "celeb" with the initials MM, she married an English prince.

SilkFloss · 05/04/2024 19:08

Can't remember the details now but there was an expose written by a former groom/staff member who wrote about her time working for a Katie. Obviously she was disgruntled so who knows how accurate the account was (although it sounds par for the course to me) but she said Katie left and made no arrangements for a dog left behind. It was down to the girl to go in each day of her own volition and feed it.
