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?

She is a complete mess and needs help. She has had massive trauma in her life and before her ADHD diagnosis I thought she had something underlying. Being raped at 7 years old and then being sexualised and taken advantage by men all through you life is going to have a massive effect on you.

Agree with this. She needs to find a fantastic therapist who will help her. It’s the only way she’ll ever change her behaviour.

Most women do not need breast enhancements.

Most women don’t need about 95% of things they have (yourself included) but the beauty of living in a free society is we are allowed to have our own choices about how we look even if others don’t agree with them.

Ill ask again, what age do you think women should be allowed breast enhancements from?

Knock yourself out. Impotently blethering on a chatboard about someone/something you can't change is absolutely your prerogative.

It would be great to see that same energy put into supporting campaigns like MADD here but it's just not as fun when you can't froth, is it?

I'll call that out as often as I like too.

But that’s the point - change doesn’t happen when people STFU. Change happens with conversations, awareness and discussions about why even when you’re a woman with ADHD drink driving is unacceptable.

I’ll support what I like without your permission thanks. You can carry on kissing arse to criminals who don’t know you exist, I’ll carry on talking about how drink driving is unacceptable.

She was barely out of childhood!! 20 is very young!

I'll wager the OP's partner absolutely lusts after Katie Price, hence this thread.

Yeah because if a woman dares say anything but lovely stuff about another woman, she must be jealous 🙄

I think even KP’s biggest male admirers back in the day would now agree that she isn’t the pin up she once was - as happens when one ages, so I don’t think your assumption is at all likely

I’m not condoning what Ant McPartlin did but he actually took a year out to heal, apologised and paid a whack in fines for his crime (rather than paying an expensive lawyer to get him off with it) showed genuine remorse and has not done anything like it since.

Most people think giving people a second chance is a reasonable ask. But KP left her second chance behind many many years ago, and has shown no remorse.

I highly doubt many people lust after Katie Price these days.

YaMuvva · 04/04/2024 13:54

So because I can’t personally get her to stop drink driving I need to STFU about something that kills 240 innocent people a year?

No. If calling out this fucking terrible behaviour contributes to the shame then I’ll do it as much as I like.

The Dr's should never have given her those huge knockers she was a child

She was 20 when she had her first breast enlargement. Far from being ‘a child’.

Goodness some people really do like to exaggerate

She was barely out of childhood!! 20 is very young!

Yes but she’s a doctor living in luxury beyond the means of most people on her salary. She’s also a celebrity doctor and mum.
She is these things due to PA and he is still a celebrity due to KP. He wouldn’t be a celebrity still without having had that association so the lifestyle and fame she has is directly thanks to KP.

So what - ALL celebrities have other people to thank. I used to hate him on the ITV shows they did, he was so PA towards his wife and always made snarky comments about her wearing makeup (like mate you married a glamour model what do you expect) - but he met her what 20 years ago now, and unlike her he has managed to sustain a good reputation and refrained from a life of crime. They haven’t been together for 15 years so she can hardly take credit for the fact he has a steady, normal life

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 04/04/2024 12:41

You really need to ask that? About tabloids?

I wonder at the sense of people who can't discern fact from fiction but, anything for salacious gossip and and opportunity to froth away with the other like-minded.

Are you claiming that the press are incorrectly reporting court stories? If so please report them as they are in contempt of court - a very serious crime.

Although I have to say as a survivor of CSA I am seriously uncomfortable with the amount of people casting doubt on her story of CSA.

The doubt has come from the horses mouth and the constantly changing story. In one autobiography it was someone flashed at her, then in another book they touched her friend it has now progressed to I was raped and the police took my knickers off me when I was 7 and I was alone with them (on a recent podcast) so that is why people may have doubts on her.

In her mums latest book, the mum said she was flashed at I think. So again who is right and who is telling the truth?

I do struggle with her allowing her young daughter access to the Internet and having social media that she uses alone and god knows who is talking to that poor girl. Most parents who have had CSA against them would be very protective of their children and not want to risk anything happening, she seems quite happy to throw her child to the online groomers and doesn't give a shit, already saying herself on a live tiktok that Bunny wants to do only fans and she will help her. What sicko says that about their 9 year old girl!?!?!?!

Rosscameasdoody · 04/04/2024 12:20

It’s actually a reasonable comparison. There would have been no need for the ducking stool or burning at the stake if social media had been around in medieval times.

Except it’s not a comparison because some people on MN refusing to fawn over a criminal is not the same as an innocent woman being brutally and painfully murdered.

HTH

Bitching about her on a chatboard isn't going to get it done, is it? You are being entirely disingenuous.

Why isn't there a thread about the work of MADD (Mothers Against Drink Driving)? That would be far more informative and perhaps effective since so many are talking of it in relation to KP.

It wouldn't though have the gossip value, I get that. I agree with daisychain01's post.

Also, it is funny how Ant McPartlin didn't get this much shit for his crash whilst drink driving, as Katie.

Oh agree he's also acted appallingly too. KP seems pretty canny at monetising almost every aspect of her life though and doesn't seem to care about the harm it has on her kids.

If Ant McPartlin had repeated convictions for DUI and was recently again charged with driving without a license I am sure he would get just as much shit as Katie Price (if not more). I think he has one conviction? He has then made a visible and conscious effort to get his life back on track.

I think people need to stop commenting on other people's misfortune and treating it like salacious gossip.

FGS drink driving and animal abuse is not a ‘misfortune’

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 04/04/2024 13:50

She managed to turn the corrupt social workers head recently. Upshot was social worker was sacked by the LA and the corrupt social worker is now the children's Nanny. It would seem that the social worker told her exactly what to do and say to keep hold of the youngest 2 (that she just refused to give back after a weekend visitation) and then create false allegations against the dad and report them to the police. The police took no further action every single time, but this delayed the courts findings over and over and over. I am sure when the final court order for contact is established her corrupt social worker/nanny will be tossed aside as her usefulness will be over with.

She is a despicable mother and person. Numerous animals (dogs, horses, cats and hedgehogs and lizards) have all died under her "care" and she doesn't give a shit. She just gets another one.

She is usual very unusual that she is bankrupt twice at the same time! She hasn't been discharged from her first bankruptcy, and has had another one put on top by HMRC. Hopefully this will be her downfall like Al Capone.

Brefugee · 04/04/2024 13:49

What this thread shows is that some people need more solid networks of friends in their lives who will be honest enough to say "no" to them now and again. To tell them when they're about to make an error, to tell them when they have done something wrong and to shop them to the authorities when they show no signs of stopping their (self)-destructive behaviour.

Frankly, from reading that she needs to be in a clinic. Doesn't she have anyone in her life looking out for her? that is really sad.

What would you do if she was your daughter? mum? sister? cousin? friend? i know what I'd do and it wouldn't start with either joining in the partying or just standing by. It would be giving her the good, metaphorical or physical, shake that she needs. And pointing her in the direction of help.

and his ever smug wife

How is she smug? she never, ever talks about KP and is getting on with her life as a doctor and mother. You have a very weird definition of "smug"

Women must be miserable and self deprecating don’t you know? Otherwise they’re smug, arrogant, gold diggers etc

My source was an NHS dietitian. The average calorie guides of 2000 and 2500 per day are just that - guides. There are many factors including age, gender, physical and mental health, activity levels, lifestyle and metabolic rate. 2000 for women and 2500 for men is the starting point to be adjusted taking all of the above into account. I’m in my sixties and wheelchair bound. If I ate anywhere near 2000 a day I’d be like the side of a house because there’s no opportunity to burn that amount of energy off, and I’m risking type 2 diabetes as a result because excess energy in the form of carbs is stored as sugar. My partner has type 2 diabetes and has successfully put it into remission via a supervised diet of 750 calories a day for rapid weight loss. I can assure you he’s nowhere near anorexic as a result. Everything is relative and what’s normal for one person may not be for another.
