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?

Peter Andre was not respectful to her on any level.

Wasn’t he? I must not remember it properly. I always thought he seemed quite a nice bloke.

I’ll be Googling old article tomorrow 😂

I've always liked Katie Price. I think most her Ex's have used & abused her to inflate their own fame/career/profiles!
Since the young age of 17 she's been used by men for her body; I'd like to see anyone who wouldn't have struggled with that once she hit a certain age and had kids and that realisation kicked in.

Katie hasn't had a easy life by anyone's standards surely? I'm more shocked she hasn't had a mental breakdown long before now.
I wish her nothing but the best and really hope in time (after looking after herself properly first) she finds a decent man who loves her like she deserves.

Hoe that woman has evaded prison with all her drink driving is beyond me. I just hope the dads are taking care of those poor kids.

Northernsouloldies · 04/04/2024 01:01

She's 45 and accepts responsibility for absolute fuck all in her life.good mums don't go on a coke run and crash the car,dead pets and other numerous incidents.

YaMuvva · 04/04/2024 01:02

Yes Peter Andre (known on MN as The Orange One back in the day) was a passive aggressive verbally abusive shit to her when they had that ITV show. However he has moved on married what seems like a nice lady, they have 3 kids and seemingly a much more stable home than what KP can offer. I agree she has been used and abused but she has what 5 kids now, and they must be put first - being with an out of control and dangerous mother is not the right place for any of them to be

Redglitter · 04/04/2024 01:03

I have no sympathy what so ever for her. She should be in jail. She had no regards for the law & seems untouchable.

Noyesnoyesok · 04/04/2024 01:05

StormingNorman · 04/04/2024 00:29

I feel really sorry for her. She’s made some bad decisions and hasn’t had a respectful man in her life since Peter Andre. But I keep thinking something must be driving all these poor choices.

Exactly! I have actually Met Katie a few times and she really isn’t this awful person that she is portrayed to be ! Her life has gone downhill because of the judgement/ set up to fall,mentality . She is clearly reacting to the poor media coverage.

She’s always had poor media coverage. Drink driving is not an acceptable reaction to that

So that excuses drink driving & driving when banned???

DyslexicPoster · 04/04/2024 01:09

I feel bad for her. I wouldn't want to be her EX but she just seems troubled.

Delawear · 04/04/2024 01:13

None of us posting here know her personally, so a lot is conjecture. I can’t see how this thread will help. How would she feel if she read it? She’s a human being.

QueenMegan · 04/04/2024 01:16

She's the sort of person thar you can't help liking despite the fuck ups. I don't know about dead animals thar might change my mind.
The sadest thing is she was really attractive before she messed about with her body. The Dr's should never have given her those huge knockers she was a child

She has been caught drink driving even when banned - I don’t need to know her personally to know what kind of person that makes her.
If she gets upset reading comments about her drink driving then maybe she shouldn’t drink drive

YaMuvva · 04/04/2024 01:35

To Price’s defenders - here’s a quick breakdown of her crimes:

Driving related rap sheet:

Driving bans - 4
Speeding instances - 5
Drink driving arrests - 3
Driving without a licence and insurance arrests - 2

Other offences she has been arrested or charged for:
Using a mobile phone
Not being in control of a vehicle
Speeding to the point she accumulated 13 points on her license
Failing to stop at a red light
Driving whilst disqualified
Failing to provide details of drink driving incident and also speeding incidents
Crashing her car whilst banned

Now to her defenders: how would you feel if she mowed down your child? Or mum, sibling or friend? It’s an absolute miracle she never has.

She was also handed a five year restraining order for harassing a mum at her kid’s school - an order she breached and was arrested for breaching

The animal thing is that 7 dogs have died in or around her home in 7 years - the last one she smacked in a TikTok video because it was sat on her jumper.

So he’s some of us CAN help but like her.

Redglitter · 04/04/2024 01:44

No I'd totally disagree. I dont find her at all likeable. Far from it

Bloody hell, how has she been spared prison? Makes a mockery of our justice system. Obvious leniency due to her fame and issues? She can’t be trusted not to get behind the wheel drunk.

Expensive lawyers - she has got away with lots on technicalities and loopholes and sob stories

Shan5474 · 04/04/2024 02:05

The level of facetune on her photos is very telling. It’s so weird that her boyfriends and the tabloids use them when they truly look nothing like her. Unfortunately I think only someone quite troubled or who is using her for money/fame would enter into a relationship with her at this point because she’s such a mess

DeeCeeCherry · 04/04/2024 02:10

I think leave her alone to be honest. She's good to her family, raised a disabled child. Yes her life seems messy but judging and gloating to make yourself feel 'better than' isn't a good trait. & We dont know her life fully nor how she truly feels inside.

Northernsouloldies · 04/04/2024 02:13

Oh that's alright then .... she's a liability in so many ways...bet you wouldn't be so philosophical if you were one of the many creditors that hasn't been paid.

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

Goodness some people really do like to exaggerate

Did you not read the long list of driving offences?

How would you feel if she killed a loved one with her irresponsible driving?

Personally I do think I’m better than a persistent and quite dangerous criminal but I’m not the self deprecating kind 🤷‍♀️

Honestly this site..it REALLY kills some MNers to criticise a woman doesn’t it. I bet if a bloke did what KP did they would get off Scot free on here.
