Katie Price is a mess and seems beyond help?

I really like her. My son is very much like Harvey and I guess I see how great she is with him and how well she knows him. I admit she doesn’t do herself any favours but I can’t help but like her.

That’s true.

Whenever she has a new bloke, like clockwork it's all "we're planning a baby!" - again. It's all about column inches. She and the press have a symbiotic relationship - they sell their rags off her back, she gets paid for her notoriety. While she gets them the hits and traffic, it works for them both. I imagine it's wildly unhealthy for her and her family but it's probably all she knows how to do at this point.

I don't know why people aren't more bored of talking about her by now, but here we are 😂

Hear, hear. If she was Jill Public she would definitely have seen the inside of a prison by now. One rule for the so-called 'slebs', one rule for the rest. In the meantime, she flouts the law and gets away with it and is no doubt laughing her head off.

Ask Harvey and the rest of her children I agree many of her life choices have been atrocious & I admit I'm not a follower, just someone who tries to see both sides of a story. My comment is 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. More importantly nobody knows what really goes on behind closed doors. A lot of the media reports are utter rubbish yet people appear to believe everything written. It would be interesting to hear how her close family & friends feel about this vilified woman.

@Brefugee I’m glad “Doctor” Mosley gets lots of pushback for his dangerous advice. He never even bothered to practice as a doctor. He simply “qualified” and went straight into the media to make his dough.

This is what gets me. Ant McPartlin drunk drove once, he got help and his life back on track and by the looks of it not done anything wrong since. But he is vilified daily and torn to shreds. You'd think he was Satan

Katie Price drives whilst disqualified multiple times, under the influence, without insurance, etc. Bankrupt not once but twice,has had 7 animals die in her care. and it's "she's had a bad life, she has mental health problems, it's her ADHD." Peter Andre gets vilified and blamed for her actions, too. He seems to be in a stable relationship, bringing up his/their children in a stable family.

meh- he is an actual doctor and she's a glamour model with an out of control life. If i were going to trust either of those on diet it wouldn't be the latter.

And he gets a LOT of pushback for his dangerous dieting advice. Lots.

People with ADHD of course do tend to be chaotic and perhaps do sometimes take more personal risks - but don’t tend to have the morals of an alleycat, at least in my experience. I know a few people with ADHD and at least with the ones I know they are very conservative in many aspects of their lives, particularly romantic and sexual ones. When they mess up they are usually genuinely remorseful. None of them are addicted to plastic surgery. I am sure KP has a lot of other things going on eg. narcissism.

I don't know much about Katie Price so I can't really comment much but she seems to be getting a lot of flak about this low calorie diet she's promoting. Dr Michael Mosley seems to have made a whole career out the promotion of very low calorie diets what with his books, newspaper articles and BBC TV series but everyone seems to thinks he's great. The man must have made millions out of it.

I don't usually agree with people saying, "If this was a man you'd say X" or "If this was a woman Y" but in this case, if a man had been responsible for all the things KP has done, he would be torn to pieces on MN.

Also claims that the "media" are responsible for her woes - I'm sick of seeing "The Media" being blamed for everything and used as a get out clause (not just about KP but in general). KP used the press to cultivate her career. When it comes to the driving offences, I can't believe she has not been sentenced to prison.

People making excuses for her because of mental health or past trauma..okay but our jails are basically full of people with bad mental health and past trauma. Katie has somehow stayed out of jail and kept her lifestyle while being bankrupt.

I disagree ,every person with ADHD is an individual with different struggles. Just because your life with ADHD isn't a car crash doesn't mean that it can't be at the heart of her issues. The NHS even states that an adult symptom of ADHD is:

• taking risks in activities, often with little or no regard for personal safety or the safety of others – for example, driving dangerously

She has made a lot of money, has terrible taste in men and was sexually abused as a child. Combine that with ADHD and I'd say it's a recipe for all sorts of issues. I feel sorry for her but she desperately needs to stop self medicating, sort out her meds and get herself stable.

All the current stories in the media about Katie Price are lifted directly from her own social media - things she has said herself on camera or posted on IG.
The reports on her criminal actions come from court papers.
Katie Price did not "make" Peter Andre. They both had a similar level of fame when they went into the jungle and everything subsequent to that was based on their relationship as a couple. He went on to make sensible choices (like ditching her) with his money and she lurched into a downward spiral due to her own actions.
"Wonderful mother?" Don't make me laugh. She's about the worst example of one I've ever seen.

I see a sociopath not someone with ADHD. She’s always been dead behind the eyes.

This is what gives people with ADHD a bad name, I have ADHD and have struggled my whole life to fit in but I'm a decent human, wife, mother and friend.
Her mental health is not good, she craves attention good or bad and that's probably due to past trauma but very little of what we see is due to ADHD, maybe the state of her house, disorganisation and chaotic life but not the dramatic showdowns and lack of morals we see spread over media which give her the reputation she has.

My mate saw her pink ranger parked on a double yellow in Brighton the other day. Surely she's about to lose her house?

Are you quite mad???!!

No 1, most of us have managed not to go bankrupt several times, shag everything that moves, drink drive, do drugs, bring a string of random men into her kids' lives, etc etc etc!!

No 2, How can someone who's done all the above in a blaze of publicity be a "wonderful mother"?? She's a disgrace of a mother, and a terrible role model!

I wouldn't arse-kiss anybody, least of all celebrities but I'll counter that you can carry on with your cohort, being as thick as you like since you're all about name-calling.

Ranting on a chatboard isn't making KP or anybody else take accountability, as much as you think you're doing something useful. Froth away.

Absolutely this.

She's spent her life surrounded by leeches, sycophants, abusers & enablers, all of them have some responsibility in this obvious crisis she is going through.

And I include her own family in that list.

Saying that, the harm she has caused her children & animals also can't be overlooked, really SS need to be involved, her current pets need removing & she needs a ban on keeping animals.

She’d have to do that with a therapist.

I’ve already said that I don’t like people casting doubt on her stories about rape and assault but after googling the South Africa thing (which I’d never heard of before today) I do actually on reflection think it’s fair to say that KP made the claims 4 years after the robbery and the production company released a statement that defended their security protocols and also said:

”Reported allegations of sexual assualt are most concerning. At no point, during the robbery or the subsequent investigation, did anyone involved or who witnessed this incident suggest that a rape had taken place”

Interesting indeed

I actually feel so sorry for her, she’s obviously got mental health issues, why on earth does she think her ridiculous boobs look good, I think she is obviously deeply unhappy.
I do quite like her, she can be very funny, I don’t know how she will cope when her poor mum passes away, I wish she could find peace of mind.

I think she actually needs a long intense stay in rehab and for to also actually be held responsible her her actions. If people never ever have to be accountable then of course they will never change

She was raped at 7 and been used all her life. The fact she considered it ok and that it didn’t bother her until recently is even more worrying.

But she also had millions and could of paid for therapy at any time, she could completely change her life if she wanted.

She wants to be loved - that all she wants. You can see it with the men and the dogs and the children - except she doesn’t know what love is.

The car driving - not acceptable
The way she mothers her children - at best worrying and at worst neglect (out drink drinking and doing drugs etc)

She has wrecked her looks, ADHD or not - not excuse for drink driving ever.
