To like Katie Price

Thus thread isn’t going to go well for you, op.

I think a lot of people liked her in the past, when she matured from Jordan into Katie price, the business woman, and ‘I’m a Celeb’ did her a lot of favours.

However, the several traffic offences, alleged animal abuse, going on luxury holidays whilst apparently broke etc, has hugely tarnished her reputation. People are fed up with her not taking responsibility for herself.

I can't have a soft spot for someone who abuses animals, repeatedly uses drugs, uses her children and owes hundreds of thousands of pounds to people while flaunting having yet more plastic surgery.

I hope when she gets arrested it hits home that she needs to change, I doubt it will though.

I've always felt bad for her too. She has a naivity to her.

If she'd met a decent man young, she could have really built some stability with the financial success she had. However, she always goes after the wrong type of man, and that's partly why things have turned out this way.

Is this the Take A Break version of when people claim they know it’s likely unpopular but they think Nigel Farage seems a jolly sort and is probably good fun to have a drink with?

I used to think she was good with Harvey, but she exploits him to her own advantage and she's said some very personal things about his behaviour, s ,that's there just no need for
As the parent of a disabled child with complex needs i find it awful she could do this ,he's very vulnerable.

What do you like about Katie Price, OP?

I feel sorry for anyone who is obviously their own worst enemy. It must be awful to keep seeking happiness and fulfilment but to never find it.

she's a narc and an animal abuser but hey,you like her. Fill yer boots 😡🤢

See I'm the same, she's done some really bad things and has a rap sheet for a lot of things but I do too feel for her, when you aren't ok (mentally) it does affect your personality and life and what decisions you make, you don't think straight and don't see the consequences of your actions before hand, I don't agree with the boobs though they're just way too big I don't get why she would want such big boobs surely that does her back in but one thing I don't understand is that she's going bankrupt all the time but goes on holidays all the time, has all this surgery etc but yeah 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well said. He did something really stupid, but paid a huge fine and learnt from it, he hasn't drank alcohol since. Kp is on another level.

Whoa. That’s ugly behaviour. Why would you write that.

Exactly. I'm no Ant McP fan but he's apologized for his behaviour, is genuinely sorry for what he did and is trying to improve his life, very well done to him.

What he did was absolutely nothing compared to the never-ending rap sheet on slaggy Price.

You can like or respect somebody while disliking certain behaviours, I respect Jeremy Corbyn even though I strongly disagree with some of his views, and I liked Rishi Sunak even though I didn’t respect him as a PM - just thought he seemed a funny, likeable kind of guy.

From what I've read her childhood trauma is different depending on who she's talking to about it.

This. I feel some pity for her. For whatever combination of luck and savvy marketing, she had success and money, and she's lost it all because of her deep unhappiness. That doesn't mean I think she should be protected from the consequences of her actions. At some point adults have to take responsibility for making changes and not perpetrating more damage on the next generation and on innocent bystanders.

The obligatory 'she's great with Harvey' made me laugh!

I feel sorry for her, clearly she has significant mental health problems. But I feel more sorry for her children, no matter how much she loves them, they are having a chaotic and traumatic childhood, and for the animals she keeps which is horrific.

I don’t think it’s about like or dislike.

Contempt of court.

I hope the police are waiting when she steps off the plane from her latest holiday & transport her straight to jail

What has she done?

I've never read any of her books but I too quite like and have a soft spot for her.

This has a bit of a time line on it

She's had multiple dogs and a horse die by escaping her property and getting hit on the road (4 or 5 if I remember correctly). Some within months of each other and another dog who was constantly found on the road and later rehomed
She had a Frenchie that got crushed in a chair, bought another one and rehomed that less than a year later
other animals have been sold (she was advertising her sphinx cats when I gave up)

She was also roughly treating her dog in videos and there were elements of poor care eg a chameleon died and she said it died of a broken heart when her kids moved out but there was suspicion that she didn't have heating properly for it, and animals that she had but then never mentioned again which felt odd

There were lots of petitions when she around after the 6th/7th dog death

What's the story with the animal abuse?
