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?

And the Sun is reporting that she was seen at an airport today, jetting off on holiday.
Where are the "but she's a great mum" brigade now?

How anyone can make excuses for this cunt now is beyond me. She is making a mockery of the courts now. Going off on holiday while missing court is just a joke. I bet that judge really wishes he had issued an arrest warrant now.

I literally have no words. 🤬

When she does her podcast with her sister, they both come across as simple and fairly pleasant.

So that negates the animal killings, the drink and drug driving, the lying, the cheating, the tax evasion, the other creditors who have been waiting 5 years for any money, the double concurrent bankruptcy? Just cos she seems nice. She is scum, absolute scum. She has told lies to keep those kids away from their dad's (now thankfully 4 of tham back in safe homes with their dad), she lies constantly to the court about her mental health and then fucks off on holiday. One bankruptcy hearing she did over zoom from the Maldives. If that's not sticking 2 fingers at justice I don't know what is.

Well she’s not pleasant. Stop making excuses for her!

RosaMoline · 26/04/2024 19:51

She should be arrested the second she steps back on British soil. It’s an absolute outrage.

Really ? Instead of court 🙀🙀🙀

MissBattleaxe · 27/04/2024 04:16

Her casual regard to the law is appalling. She should be arrested for contempt. She's wasted everyone's time with breathtaking arrogance.

And taxpayers money! A whole day of court time was scheduled for the hearing. That is not cheap! So judges, barristers etc..... all booked out for a day for her not to turn up. Just a mockery of justice.

I feel incredibly sorry for her. I genuinely believe her seemingly confident, attention seeking and blasé attitude is a façade; it is an "everything is fine" mask. It hides a whole lot of hurt, pain and "messed up".

My childhood was very messed up. I definitely recognise the "everything is fine mask". Luckily, I made a commitment to myself for stability and have been married for almost 20 years. But it has literally taken that long for me to feel safe to really process the trauma and stop pretending everything was fine. I have not had therapy. But realistically, even if I had-it would have taken years to unpick this before I felt safe to do so.

KP has never had that length of stability in her life to actually process everything. Therapy is pointless if you are not mentally ready for it.

In the meantime, she seeks validation and love from publicity, a string of men who inevitably abandon her, children, animals, plastic surgery, drugs and ostentatious physical possessions. It is incredibly sad to watch. I genuinely hope she finds a safe space to let go of what has happened to her and find peace.

I am absolutely not excusing KP drink driving, hurting animals etc. There being a reason for something isn't an excuse. These are symptoms of the above, though.

SilkFloss · 27/04/2024 08:23

Well, I don't feel sorry for her in the slightest.

Toomanysquishmallows · 27/04/2024 08:28

@SilkFloss , I totally agree , the fact she has a restraining order against her is enough, let alone all the other stuff.

usernother · 27/04/2024 09:58

I think she wants to be sent to prison so she can monetise it. She'd get lots of publicity.

Sugarfish · 27/04/2024 11:41

I don’t feel sorry for her at all. She’s a nasty evil piece of shit. She doesn’t get abandoned by men, she drives them away. She uses people including her own children and abuses animals. Anyone else would be in prison by now.
Apparently she had a difficult childhood? Who knows, she makes stuff up all the time, including sexual assaults. ITV have pretty much confirmed the South African rape didn’t happen. And even if she did have a bad childhood it’s no excuse to behave how she does. She’s had plenty of time to try and work through it. All she seems to take from the therapy she’s spoken about is that all her problems are somebody else’s fault.

Some people will say “be kind” but some people don’t deserve kindness.

This! She's earned money beyond most people's dreams and blown it. Heaven knows how much money she's spent on cosmetic surgery - and look at the result now! This is not being bitchy, it's being honest - how these surgeons agree to do more and more work on her is beyond belief, but someone's paying for it.

If reports of her track record with looking after animals is correct then it's appalling, and I fully agree with other posters who have said that if she was Jill Public, she'd have been sent to jail years ago. This just might have given her the shake-up she needs. She flouts the law (and the law seemingly is happy to let her do so) and as for 'good mother'....schmother! Rubbish, what sort of example does she set to her kids? How can she love her kids and yet a seemingly endless procession of men walk through her life and home - again, if it was anyone else, she'd be totally condemned on here for her behaviour, instead of which some are making excuses for her. Perhaps she could also stay off the road, and be reminded that driving a car means you're in control of a lethal weapon.

Exactly. I wouldn't normally say this, but who knows if she even was assaulted as a young girl? She lies about everything else, so why not that? People excuse her behaviour because she is allegedly 'traumatised' but I'm not sure I buy it.

This has changed over the years from being flashed at, touched and now raped. So I don't really believe it. I think at one point she said it happened to her friend while she was there.

The latest story is the police came and took her knickers off her with no one else around and no medical care. If a 7 year is raped they will need medical care.........

It's an insult to the sadly countless others who have been through difficult childhoods, who have had significant trauma and do not behave the way she does. She, more than many others is in a position to access therapy and to work at addressing the things that drive her negative behaviours. While the things she may have experienced might explain some of her actions, it does not excuse the fact that she never seems to learn. I have no idea what is wrong with her, although it is obvious that something is. I do not think it will end well for her. I also feel sorry for her kids, it must be challenging having a mother who lives out such a chaotic life in the media spotlight and who monetises every drama whether real or manufactured

0sm0nthus · 27/04/2024 13:34

I think she is addicted to fame and attention, everything she does only results in more fame and attention, that's why she doesn't learn, there are no disincentives.

TheIceQween · 27/04/2024 13:36

There is no such thing as bad publicity

dayswithaY · 27/04/2024 19:09

I agree with Oprah, you owe it to the traumatised child you once were to grow and heal.

KP should work on herself instead of wrecking other people’s lives.

I hate to see anyone abused the way this poor woman is on this thread. She hasn’t always made the best decisions but this thread is outrageous. I’m only really posting so it fills up and dies.

"Poor woman", my ass! She's a total trainwreck. "Hasn't always made the best decisions" - understatement of the year!!

You'll be kept busy then. The thread is only half-full!!

Oh do get a grip. She has you properly fooled. How stupid.
