I think that Peter Andre treated Katie badly and now it seems like the kids have turned on her?

Shes not allowed to be on Princess' show apparently

Because with respect, neither of the children have got any talent.

He filmed his poor daughter failing her GCSEs.

He has exploited his children all of their lives for financial gain and then faux shock when dirty perves are messaging his daughter online.

If he had any real decency he’d have seen to it that they hit a good education and kept their lives private.

Perfectly put. He and Katie are cut from the same cloth when it comes to those kids, money and fame.

If we're talking of pimping out, that's what KP has been doing to Harvey for his entire life.

She fucked off on holiday more often than she had hot dinners, leaving him in the care of god knows who - this was back when Harvey was living at home. Anyone who has a severely autistic child knows that consistency and familiar people are important. Predictability is important too - autistic kids often really struggle with unpredictable situations. Not knowing if your mum was going to be at home next week, or what bloke she might have with her, must have had an effect on Harvey.

She absolutely used Harvey as currency to prop up her own PR.

As a mum to two autistic DC myself, one with high needs, KP did so very little compared to all of the other SEN parents I know. She was ill-informed and centred herself in everything.

On a more personal note, I really wanted more children. Desperately. The DC's dad disappeared when I was pregnant and for the last 15 years I've been with a decent and lovely man. My DC are twins. We realised that actually, it wasn't fair to bring another baby into the house - not fair on my existing DC and not fair on the baby. We gave up on our dream of having a baby, because parenting children with high needs is hard work, and when your child is never going to live independently, there's no let up.

KP has never put her children first. Not even Harvey.

I was ambivalent about PA, still am. But he has held his silence for many years while KP talked absolute shit about him, he never confirmed the rumours that Princess and Junior had been removed from her care. He could have blasted her many years previously, but he didn't. He put the kids first. Whatever you think of him as a person, he seems to be a genuine family man who is looking out for his children in the face of unbelievable provocation.

Also, as an autistic woman who also has ADHD (and someone who was abused as a child and then raped as an adult) myself, I find it so insulting that people try to pin KP's disgusting behaviour on her neurodivergence, or her history. Absolutely no fucking excuse.

That video of the kids not having any food on Christmas Day broke me. I don't understand how anyone is defending KP.

Were we watching the same show? I don’t remember that. I remember her being vile and belittling him all the time. He couldn’t do right for doing wrong.

I have been on Insta and FB for years; and have never seen him bash Katie.

why wouldn’t you encourage your 18 year old children to get a job and pay their own way? If they were not famous, you would still want them to do those things? Whether it’s a “tv programme” or a job in a bank; work is work.

I can’t find anything at all about this online. All I’m seeing is a rumoured affair with her horse riding instructor.

Honestly if your daughter got shackled to a C lister nearly 20 years her senior when she was just about to finish med school would you be so thrilled?!

I wouldn't judge my daughters choice. I would give their relationship a chance. Not sure why it matters that she had just finished medical school. What does that have to do with anything.

“The other day” but not for the last like 15 years? 🙄

Pimp out 😂 I’d be proud of my kid getting a job, whatever that is.

Holding them back because you’re scared is utterly shit parenting.

Okay, sure. I think encouraging a young girl into reality tv and influencing is a really terrible thing to do to your child and it’s not comparable to another job, but let’s agree to disagree because honestly I don’t care enough about these wankers to keep having this conversation.

You can Google the clips. He wasn’t a great person on quite a few occasions. His manager literally wrote a cryptic post that was blatantly about Katie the other day. And he wrote a statement on her l yesterday or something. On social media.
I wouldn’t pimp out my 18 year old daughter to reality tv no and have exposed to all that brings no, I think that’s utterly shit parenting.

it doesn't matter. No.excuses for neglecting your kids. plenty of people have v tough lives and they don't go around abusing people and driving under the influence of drink.and drugs or ,neglect their pets to the point of death all whilst wasting millions and going bankrupt owing money left right and centre.
She is responsible for all her own choices.

Andre spoke to Katie like shit on their tv show. Also, how is trying to launch your son in a pop career and encouraging your daughter to be a reality tv star by getting her her own show at just 18 years old stability?
And he hasn’t kept his mouth shut, but him and his manager have put stuff on Instagram.

He’s a prick, Price and her toxic family are pricks, the exes are mostly pricks, it’s all a fucking car crash.

And the issue of Katie being a poor mother is less to do with her ADHD and more to do with the fact she is completely self-absorbed, narcissistic, spoilt and utterly selfish.

If Katie Price was a poor council estate mom, she wouldn’t have any of her children due to her “risky lifestyle”. She is a poor excuse for a parent.

Her lifestyle is “glamorised” by the media and it’s seen as “okay” to have numerous men, marriages abs children by different men.

She used to be beautiful, but body dysmorphia, drugs and alcohol has ruined her. She should just get off TV and go back to her mucky mansion.

I can’t stand her. She’s a bad mom, person and a rubbish “celebrity”

Peter has always kept his mouth shut about their relationship. Princess and Jr are the way they are because of their dad and the stability that HIS family has given them.

They are also old enough now to see their mothers toxic and narcissistic personality, so I’m not surprised that they are being this way during the current conflict between their parents.

This.

All the adults involved here at dickheads. And why has their child got her own show? She is being shoehorned as the next big thing so she can keep them all relevant and make their next buck. Her older brother’s pop career hasn’t take off so instead they will all pimp out this kid for fame and fortune. She will be on Love Island in a few years.

And it’s working. It’s all disgusting.

Not KPs biggest fan but this thread is pretty vile. No one knows what has happened only what they have read 3rd or 4th hand. Or opinions based on what they have seen. I have plenty of views as my own mother left me when I was 5. After being abused and left with an alcoholic father. No way is PA a complete saint. But it makes good PR and viewing doesn't it.

She put it on her stories so no one can comment and it goes after 24 hours.

She’s just making up her own argument. Nobody was trying to make her to be, or not be anything. For the little of Princess shows I watched she spoke about her Mum with kindness and fondness. The only person that thought there was an issue with it was Katie. She wanted to be involved and now she’s made a whole drama and media frenzy about wanting to be involved, but not involved. Does she even know what she wants? Imagine being so self absorbed that you would overshadow your child’s career launch by bleating on about yourself. Poor Princess.

"He then ditched her once he didn’t need her and hooked up with a far younger woman"
No, he ditched he after she became pregnant by another man, had a termination and told everyone it was a miscarriage. He was heartbroken.
He remained single for quite some time (a year or two, I believe) before establishing a friendship with Emily which then developed into a romance. She has stated they didn't share a bedroom when the children were with him for the first year.

As I said upthread, not even Katie has said she was gang-raped at 7. Ffs, this is how rumour and speculation grow legs and become viewed as fact.

Tangerinenets · 16/08/2025 12:35

If you watch the show there is no rift with her kids. Both of them love their mum, says they are close to their mum and see her all the time.

Princess might say these. Junior is very quiet with regards to her.

Whatafustercluck · 16/08/2025 10:14

How can recollections of gang rape of a 7yo vary? Either it did or didn't happen. Unless you're saying it actually didn't happen. Her mother sounds as woeful a parent as KP.

Of course it didn't happen. People are just terrified of coming out and saying it. I'm not. She's a narcissist liar that knows how to use these tactics to manipulate the public into accepting her shitty immoral reckless behaviour.

TheMeasure · 16/08/2025 12:47

Yes, they do say that and it’s commendable. However, that was filmed a few weeks ago, before more recent events. Bear in mind that Peter is very unlikely to have released that statement without his kids being on board with it.

She’s a troubled individual and unlikely to be capable of parenting.

None of this was really news before he married her and turbo charged his previously dead career though- she’d already had well documented substance abuse and surgery issues. He then ditched her once he didn’t need her and hooked up with a far younger woman- he’s hardly a choir boy.

He seems ‘the good guy’ as she has set a low bar but I wouldn’t want anything to do with him
