Katie Price is a mess and seems beyond help?

I'm sorry to hear what happened to you, awful.

But it isn't the first time she's been economical with the truth. I agree that to lie about something like this is definitely sick, but people do tell lies, especially if they are attention seekers.

I can't believe this thread has been allowed tbh.

It's vile.

I'm not a Katie Price fan. I'm rather ambivalent. But this thread is absolutely awful.

TBF I was raped at 6 and no one but my rapist (who would obviously lie) would verify this. Lack of verification isn’t a strong enough argument for accusing someone of lying

I’m also rather embarrassed for the “Don’t read everything you believe in the papers” comments. Post-Levinson Inquiry newspapers in the UK have to be EXTREMELY careful about what they print and their sources, it’s not the 90’s News of the World anymore where lies aren’t held to account. Also, printing lies about court cases is contempt of court which is a very serious criminal offence. I don’t think any journalist would tell an outright lie about a KP conviction unless they want to be the ones behind bars.

So it seems not reported/verified then.

To keep changing the story is also hardly respectful to those who have suffered assaults, either.

I’m actually finding the comments about loving Harvey quite ableist. Like it’s extra commendable to deign to love a child with a disability. No one would call a woman ‘amazing’ for simply loving a NT child

Because loving your child (call me old fashioned but that’s the hallmark of a normal person, not something to be revered ) isn’t relevant to her crimes. Every criminal loves someone somewhere

We're all responsible for the choices we make in life.

She's usually always chose men who were bad news, but either that makes her a victim (because it's always a man's fault ultimately) or on the other hand she's bad news herself and birds of a feather flock together.

It was a toxic relationship but funny how Kate had a string of them before Pete as well as since, whereas Pete has been happily married for years.

Some people bring the worst out in each other and that seems to be Kate in every relationship.

On camera!!

I don't know quite where he fits into her chaotic life of men and holidays! And a huge amount of the shit written about her comes from her!

I so agree with this and it never seems to get said. it's an insult to so many parents saying shes devoted to any of her children when she puts herself first all of the time!

I didn’t say she was a liar? I said her accounts don’t match up and that ITV said that there was no mention of a sexual assault at the time. I made no mention of her being raped at 7?
It’s unsurprising that people will question her accusations when she has been inconsistent. Does that make her a liar? I don’t know.
Has Katie Price been morally sound and always told the truth in the past? Absolutely not.

It has changed numerous times over the years. It's gone from flashing, to touching, to rape. Her mum says is was being flashed at. KP has to up the ante on everything recently she has claimed she was raped at 7. And then people ask why people don't believe her.

Her both African robbery started as a robbery with sticks to end up as a gun toting rape. As they had cameras there and they showed the aftermath of her in an ambulance and the police, itv and witnesses of the robbery all say it was a robbery you have to make your own mind up.

This is not me victim blaming, or saying she isn't acting the perfect victim etc..... this is just going on the facts out of the horses mouth in her own words, her mums words and the words of people who were actually with her at the time.

Most importantly she is a wonderful mother.

Yeah. Sure. Absolute role model.* *🙄

She was raped at 7

And this is reported/verified.....where?

I strongly suspect many people think it's an ongoing soap opera and something to laugh at, rather than lusting after her. It's more honest to say that she is now looking like someone who has had repeated cosmetic surgery, and it doesn't look good, it looks false and, to be frank, like a blow-up doll, very artificial and sad. Who would be jealous of that?

How anyone can think that it's an improvement beggars belief, natural ageing would look much better, and I'm pretty sure she would have been cautioned by cosmetic surgeons before having any more work done, but unfortunately if the patient insists, there are no doubt some cosmetic surgeons who will go along with it. I'm curious as to where she gets the money from, as she's been made bankrupt, but there you go, I guess that's another story.

I think you’ve obviously mistaken me for another poster as I haven’t called anyone any names.

And are you under the impression that me posting on this board - or indeed anyone posting on any given board on MN - are doing so to ignite change rather than just have a cha? You know, what with it being - in your words - a chat board. Why do you think that?

Crikey and I’m accused of being thick.

And whilst it is true that Harvey's father has not been on the scene in any practical sense (beyond the financial), she HAS had huge amounts of help from others in caring for him.

I agree its a toxic and unhealthy relationship. She says she hates the press....but even if social media has taken over from traditional press and media, she is dependent on some sort of media for her career!
If no one watched her shows or talked about her she wouldn't still be famous. (Melinda messenger for example gets nowhere near the same amount of attention -possibly because she doesn't want it)

"I thought she did so well keeping him at home for as long as she did and I really couldn’t blame her for seeking residential care in the end."

Harvey is at residential college ( from 18) and afterwards will probably live in supported living. This is a standard pathway for young people with a significant learning disability.

"My comment was in respect of her obvious love and unrelenting care for a young man with extremely challenging disabilities. How people aren't acknowledging this I'll never know."
She's his mother - she's MEANT to love him! No brownie points for that. My concern is about the obvious flaunting of him in public for money, as well as the fact that she is well-known for dumping him on any passing person to babysit whilst she goes off clubbing/having endless beauty treatments (calling it work). Not to mention the famous occasion when he was seriously ill in hospital (ICU, if you believe the reports) and hours after he was discharged, she flew off on holiday, leaving him behind.

"More importantly nobody knows what really goes on behind closed doors."
She posts live TikToks from inside her house and gives away much more than she intends. She and the younger kids appear to live in absolute squalor and any tidy bits are done by staff she employs (I wonder how many other bankrupts are able to employ staff like she does).

"A lot of the media reports are utter rubbish yet people appear to believe everything written." As I said above, nowadays they are lifting their reports DIRECTLY from her own social media. Katie WANTS people to believe what's written most of it is lies.

"It would be interesting to hear how her close family & friends feel about this vilified woman." Well, she doesn't appear to have many close friends as most of any she has had over the years have disassociated themselves from her. Yes, it would be interesting to get her mother Amy's opinion currently but they've not been on speaking terms for some time. The book she ghost-wrote last year was one long blame-fest of others.

Junior doesn’t seem to want to have anything to do with her anymore, after the South African rape claim.
Strange.

I'm glad that you are able to see the good in her, particularly with your shared experience of having a profoundly disabled child.

But. 7 animals have died in her care. She has been caught several times drink driving, driving whilst disqualified and driving dangerously. No amount of stage managed reality tv with her son changes that for me.

This exactly

Well said!
