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?

Goady and pointless threads on social media don’t exactly help though do they ?

Was op actually trying to "help"? Rather than just discuss something that popped into her head?

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.

Don't be ridiculous.

Kittycat333 · 04/04/2024 13:05

I don't believe a word that cones out of her filthy lying mouth. She's a revolting person in every way.

FullofRusticCharm · 04/04/2024 13:07

I wonder if she is sociopathic. A lot of her behaviours fit.

A lot of children - seen really as possessions or extensions of herself
A lot of pets - each really just seen as possessions to entertain her which can be replaced at will (devoid of real emotion towards them)
Lack of remorse - repeating the same crime over and over again
Reckless behaviour - drink/drugs/driving without license, bankruptcies
Superficial charm that takes people in - look at this thread

She said she was raped aged 7 in a podcast I watched the other day. She said it didn't mess her up but I'm sure it did.

She’s said that a lot of different times about a lot of different rapes and the story changes every time. She lies without even thinking about it. It’s compulsive.

Totallybannanas · 04/04/2024 13:17

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.

LassyLook · 04/04/2024 13:25

People with ADHD can be chaotic, but most people with ADHD do NOT engage in the kind of behaviours she does eg. revenge porn, smearing exes, drunk driving, endless plastic surgery, the sex industry etc.

I think it’s far far more likely she’s a narcissist - of course something she would be less keen to publicise!

Let those without sin cast the first stone. Katie Price has been diagnosed with ADHD which definitely contributes to her issues. Most importantly she is a wonderful mother.

She self-diagnosed with ADHD. And I’m not sure how having social services involved, having her youngest filming herself for TikTok playing with a lighter while she was nowhere to be seen and leaving dog shit all over the floors of her house while her kids are there, is being a “wonderful mother”.
Every single thing that comes out of her mouth is a lie. Remember the time she painted bruises on her face and went running to the press about DV and that was all a lie as well?
I cannot fathom that anyone is defending this utter pondscum. Honestly. The police must be utterly sick of her by now.

Peter and Katie were both at the same point in their careers when they went into the jungle. They were both has-beens. The only reason either of them are still so much in the lime-light is because of their relationship- it was mutually beneficial and gave them both a second chance at fame on the back of it with their TV show and many spin off projects from it. It wasn't exactly himusing her while she was all sweet and innocent.

However, PA has managed to get out (probably when he realised he couldn't ever have a normal loving relationship with her as I don't think she's capable of that) and go on to what appears to be a much more normal life. She on the other hand, can't seem to keep her life together without his more steading influence and her only way to keep herself relevant is to be more and more extreme.

She simply takes everything she thinks is making her popular and keeping people talking about her and times' it by ten. Plastic surgery, the size of her boobs, the number of kids, the rape stories, the abuse stories, the trauma, the people that have betrayed her etc.

What strikes me most about Katie is her seemingly complete lack of emotion- she rarely seems visibly affected. Just watch her talking in the immediate aftermath of the carjacking and it appears that the words she says are completely at odds with her body language. Whilst she talks about how scary and frightening it was her body language conveys excitement. Which would be very odd considering she was raped whilst her children watched on which she later claimed.

Remember that no one believed Chloe Ayling when she said she was kidnapped and sexually assaulted as she wasn’t acting like a victim. Someone was found guilty of the crime.

tearsintherain · 04/04/2024 13:37

I've always admired her.
My eldest son has a very severe learning disability (non verbal) and he too is in Adult Care.
I watched the documentaries, and it helped me through a tough time.
I'm sure a lot of other parents in our position feel the same.

I’m sure her mother is worried sick.

Any reasonable mother would have washed her hands of her years/decades ago.

I mean I am not a fan of KP but she’s not my DD, my god my kids could never do anything to make me actually disown them

YaMuvva · 04/04/2024 13:41

the revenge porn on alsx reid and never paying him damages. Wtf! Should have been cancelled then. Hes a nice man

Woman beater and fraudster - yeah sound like a peach Hmm

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.

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

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 04/04/2024 13:45

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.

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.

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.

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’

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.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 04/04/2024 11:41

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.

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.

YaMuvva · 04/04/2024 13:59

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.

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

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!?!?!?!

peakygold · 04/04/2024 14:05

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