Katie Price and the rift with her kids?

With respect, Gran, I don't think you're quite getting the whole social media thing. Princess is very into social media and that is why she has all these deals and a TV show, not because her dad pushed her forward for them. She wants it. Her mum allowed them to have sm accounts before they were old enough. I remember at the time that PA being against it, even though they had been on his reality shows when he was married to KP. I think he was probably careful about how much they did, although to us it seemed that they did a lot.

If he is such a controlling fame hungry monster how come he hasn't overridden Emily's desire that their children stay out of the limelight?

Was Bunny old enough to do that???

Oh the poor girl, fingers crossed she gets the results she wants and gets away from her mother. What a lovely group of friends she has supporting her too.

Much of the stuff that is known about KP is what she herself has (inadvertently) given away herself online on her YouTube/SnapChat live reels.
Bunny was persistently online, and Katie would half-heartedly admonish her for it on her reels and say things like, "you'll get me in trouble again." She (K) admitted she'd closed her accounts but that Bunny knew how to re-open them. And then she'd pop up late at night in her bedroom, totally unsupervised, trying makeup on (that she'd ordered herself online with Katie's card) and getting changed, with the live chat facility open. On one occasion, "someone" commented how they liked her (brief) shorts.
It was reported time and again by (responsible) people who could see how dangerous this was but whichever platform it was, was very slow to act and close it down again.

Is that a good enough reason to pass the trauma down to her 4, possibly 5 (if Harvey has the cognitive ability to be impacted?).

It was posted live on YouTube by Bunny. She did a live video showing her trying to cook noodles unsuccessfully so they ate them raw. It was heartbreaking.

And bring up her past. She can’t seriously still be hiding behind it. I never even speak about my abuse in adult life let alone use it as a defence when I’ve messed up.

Remember Katie Price criticised Jade Goody for profiting from her cancer diagnosis (£ for her kids), while Jade accused Price of hypocrisy, citing Price's previous public disclosure of a finger cancer “scare”

What a strange woman, why try to stop her child getting into uni?

I agree.

She's really lucky with PA : at least she had a stable father and stepmother to hand her children to when SS came knocking at her door

Look what happened with that Muppet Kieran: yet another unstable home with rowing partners, chaos, step kids and chaos (so nowhere particularly safe for poor Jett and Bunny)

If her kids were her priority, no matter her scorn for Pete, she should be grateful of the stability he and Emily had to offer their children.

I know a lovely lady who I admire greatly (was a heroin addict ) she is many years recovered and an absolute inspiration. She told me that when the Inevitable happened her kids were taken out of her care and placed with the father and his wife. She gushes about the stepmother and says "she was the mother to my kids that I wasn't able to be and I owe her everything" they all have lovely relationships today and she always makes sure step mum is treated as "mum number 2" in her words. Some people are so humble.

KP can't bring herself to be grateful of the stability that PA and Emily have given her kids. Poor old Jett and Bunny - and Harvey. Different story for them.

"Classy statement?" From Katie Price? (or rather from whoever wrote it for her - she can barely string a lucid sentence together herself).
I've never read such a manipulative load of old shit. And for a start there aren't people who are "just" sinners or "just" saints. There are shades of grey in between in all people.
And if she'd stopped at "I know I'm not perfect" then I MIGHT have had some grudging admiration. But she just HAD to keep going and turn it into a slagging off. And after yesterday's post saying she didn't see the need for entering a 'tit-for-tat' exchange. And now here we are.

And for all those arguing that PA is a covert abuser and smug and manipulated and put down KP : I don't buy it.

I think he's only mistake was meeting her in the jungle and not really understanding her background and what she was all about. I think once they'd fallen for each other it was too late and he Instead focused on trying to "tame" her (for her own good) trying to make her live a more settled life and do the whole marriage and kids thing and disapproved when she pulled against it.

I do think underneath it all that she hates herself and he was the only man she ever did really love and probably pushed him and pushed him and pushed him away with her bad behaviour as a kind of self destruct/self sabotage thing. I think actually loving a man, having everything she probably wanted deep down (marriage and kids and stability) was too much to handle and she couldn't cope with it as it was so far outside of what she knows and just pressed the self destruct button.

I don't like KP nowadays. But the only time I did like her was when she was with PA. That's the best she ever looked too. Got the silly oversized tits removed and looked natural and actually pretty.

I think she never got over him deep down and just carried on the self destruct like a run away train. I mean look at the marriage to Alex Reid literally a few months after they got divorced. I don't think she even liked him, far less loved him. She held utter contempt for him and he was just a docile lap dog. That was all to cause shock to PA and make him feel like their marriage was nothing to her. And it all snowballed from there. I don't think she can probably even bear to think about it let alone admit it's the truth.

It’s odd because usually when influencers use their children to promote their brand or whatever they’re trying to sell. Mumsnet users are all over it and even saying that it should be illegal to deny children of their privacy.

However when Peter Andre does it, people are ok with it and see it as an opportunity and that he’s a great dad.

Also people can’t seem to comprehend that just because some of us can see straight through PAs fake bullshit, it doesn’t mean that we are defending KPs indefensible behaviour.

If Princess and Junior can make a good life for themselves in showbiz then fair enough, but for many it’s 5 minutes of fame and then a road to nowhere. Unless you have a genuine talent or something to offer.

She shouldn’t need her head screwed on or to shoulder that so young is what I’m saying. I’m sure she’s great. I wonder if there’s tension that her kids with him are out of the limelight while he’s very complicit in putting his in it. Once their shared kids get older there might be some differences in opinion that are tricky to bridge there.

They do have two parents in the media and don’t seem to see that it’s completely fucked one of them up. I’m not sure PA grew up in the public eye in quite the same way KP did.

She's got her head screwed on and it looks as if she's a great mum & step mum

I think my issue with it is they were already primed - he agreed to her being on tv and in the spotlight from a young age. His current wife won’t accept that for their two kids so he can’t. He made that choice for Princess and his son, it’s on him as well as Katie that they’ve been exposed since they were very small. So whilst he can’t stop the decisions she makes now, he has been part of the problem leading to this point. And it’s two fold - on the one hand his fake shock at the fact she is getting disgusting messages which he absolutely knew she will have been getting since she was much, much younger, and the fact that if she doesn’t ’make It’ the. It’s public humiliation. I think she will have a comfortable z list career like both her parents, but if she didn’t do that he’s set her up for that embarrassment. He has filmed her private moments and put them up for all the world to see and now this. So I do judge him harshly. I judge any parent who exposes their kids like this harshly to be honest.

I agree. She probably should never have had kids

She was 21 when she first met him and 23 when they got together, very young to settle down with multiple step kids and a complex blended family virtually straight out of full time education imho.

KP is currently pimping out Harvey on Cameo for £36 a message. So a young man who cant truly consent is having his mum literally putting her disabled son out there for her to earn money. Disgusting.

She didn't write that, give over. She isn't capable of forming philosophical prose.

I agree that PA is fame-hungry, but I'm not sure about judging him too harshly for what the kids do.

I think most of us know it's pretty impossible to tell a 19-year-old that their parent knows best 😂

Junior and Princess have two parents both in show business. They've seen it up close for many years, it's what they know. And bear in mind that although PA may have had custody, KP still had access to the children, and therefore influence.

I vaguely remember some posts years ago with Princess and being shocked that a young girl seemed to be sexualised by her mum (they were joint posts with KP IIRC).

If Junior and Princess want to go into show business because they've seen it's possible to make ££££ and they don't have any other obvious skills/talents, then I don't think PA could stop them if he wanted to.

I saw a quote the other day saying that Princess doesn't want to do Love Island or any of those kinds of shows, and I hope that's true. There are plenty of teen girls her age who would kill to be influencers or celebrities, I don't think she's any different - she just has the opportunities.

And jobs in TV and music are like gold dust so why wouldn’t they capitalise on their opportunities. You could say they have been working in the media from the minute they were born. It’s quite amusing to see the kids just getting on with things while their parents “feud”. I guess this is how they managed through their lives. They seem all right.

I wonder why KP can’t leave PA alone? She seems to want to drag him into the gutter with her and can’t stand the fact that he is married, in a nice house and solvent. Not only that but her kids may end up quite wealthy in their own right. She keeps threatening to spill the beans on him but hasn’t got any beans to spill. She has finally pushed him too far and the gloves are off. He is going to spill the beans once and for all. It won’t be nice for the families (and the poor kids) but the rest of us have got the popcorn ready.
