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?

Can I ask where you personally draw the line on things like this? You obviously think continually committing dangerous and harmful crimes is fine if you have MH problems, what crime could a person commit before you decided their behaviour was inexcusable?

No. I said in an earlier comment she should be punished, but at the same time I don’t think she deserves the vitriol she gets from the public and simply being labelled as a bad person, attention seeking etc. people have no idea what she’s been through and it’s ignorant, frankly. It’s blindingly obvious she has significant mental issues from what is known about her, and she isn’t like that for absolutely no reason.

Are none you aware that she was gang raped aged SEVEN?

What do you think that does to your mental health/ brain development exactly?

Easipeelerie · 04/04/2024 09:37

I have both sympathy for her (because of the effects of her ADHD and possible other issues) but also surprise that she’s evaded harsher punishments for the various offences.
I’m stunned at how PA appeared to be so unpleasant to her (in their old programme together) but lovely to his new wife. I’m guessing it’s a combination of new wife being more stable and him being the same old personality innately but showing his faults in a moderated way. Or maybe he’s grown up a bit.
It appears that KP has support needs. She needs someone with her most of the time to help her with her organisation.

She's been through shit loads.

I like her. Yes she's made a lot of mistakes but haven't we all

Hope you haven't killed a shitload of your pets as well? 😡😡😡

How can you excuse that behaviour? 😡

hevs03 · 04/04/2024 09:50

She is a bitch, and needs locking up, cruel to animals to the point of death, an unfit mum, she is a coke head and cares about nothing and no-one other than herself. I hope the press do leave her alone so she can fade into obsurity only after she has served time, and paid back all of her creditors as I can imagine there are a few small businesses she owes money to who are struggling massively. She is one big red flag and her family (Mum/Stepdad and Sister) are no better. Can't stand the woman as you can probably tell.

Sorry but I don't believe her.

horseyhorsey17 · 04/04/2024 09:59

I've got ADHD - it's not an excuse for being a dick.

She's just an obvious massive cokehead. The problems will continue until she stops spending a fortune on sticking powder up her nose.

Ap24 · 04/04/2024 10:07

Plenty of us have been through horrible stuff, had terrible childhoods and MH problems. It's not an excuse and she needs to take some personal responsibility. If she doesn't have the capacity then she should be put in some kind of supported living.

Butchyrestingface · 04/04/2024 10:07

Number 5 - she made that announcement about 20 years ago. It's not news. How far back are you going, @whatthesaar ?

Would have thought the fact she's the Harold Shipman of the animal kingdom was a far more recent and present danger.

Yup. I also have ADHD. I have never driven drunk (let alone multiple times), killed animals or neglected my kids to the point they were taken away from me. Thats really bloody insulting to those of us with ADHD.

usernother · 04/04/2024 10:09

I don't remember Peter being really horrible to her but I do remember her talking to him in an awful manner.

Well Harvey is 21 I believe. Despite him having additional needs, what's wrong with him visiting a night club?

If I recall he was reportedly distressed and taking him to a pa for cash is bottom of the barrel stuff.hes a person not a prop..clubbers hanging off him taking selfies..

What of any of that do you think is acceptable?.

Why not? Because if true, it hasn't made her a wonderful person?

turnips4u · 04/04/2024 10:11

what's wrong with him visiting a night club? he is distressed by loud noises and is blind. So yeah, taking him to a loud nightclub is cruel and he was obviously distressed in that environment.

I don't understand her apologists who constantly state she's a poor victim in all of this, and it's all everyone else's fault!

I don't understand why so many people on MN jump to her defence, if they were to be caught with so many driving offences do they think they would still be walking around free? She seems to get away with everything and has a constant stream of fashionable excuses, I have no sympathy for her, she is the victim of her own arrogance.

Exactly.
So we're now saying reasons for not being held responsible for criminal behaviour and it should be 'poor you' include
-drug/alcohol use
-having children
-problematic childhood
-employed in six industry
-fame
-suspected/actual ND
Well the prisons should empty as am sure that covers most of the inmates!

StBank · 04/04/2024 10:13

If you like podcasts listen to her on Elizabeth Day's How To Fail. It's quite interesting. She's had such a strange life that I'm not surprised she's like this.

Beefcurtains79 · 04/04/2024 07:47

This. Mumsnet is full of celebrity arse lickers, it’s so strange. She was banned from her child’s school for screaming at her children’s stepmother that she was a fucking cunt, many times in front of all the children present- including her own.
I imagine if that tale was told in AIBU? Everyone would think she was a terrible mum, but she’s famous so her behaviour is constantly ignored, justified and excused on here.

Edited

That is true. It is also true that this is a bloody horrible thread and, if people stopped talking about this woman she would simply fade away.

But, what for spiteful chat then? I see the dilemma.

I wouldn't be surprised if she's actually self-diagnosed herself with ADHD, rather than having an actual medical diagnosis. It sounds like she's just using it as an excuse, which makes me suspicious of the veracity - especially as there is something of an ADHD bandwagon going on at the moment.

LolaLaRue · 04/04/2024 10:14

Yes! let them ALL out as this covers everyone in prison surely?

KP claims to have been raped at least 3 times. Hmm, funny how she wants to be so vocal about it yet at the same time doesn't want to prosecute.

I wonder if they would be so sympathetic if she were to hit them or their family members whilst drink driving?

Oh, so the drink driving offences arent true then? well that was a very elaborate set up from the courts then. Who paid them to set that up? and who placed her car overturned on that country road?
