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

His bio Dad is scum - whole other story!
But as a fellow SEN parent - via adoption - then yes, I do have an "outraged tone". Maybe I'm thinking about it with my heart more than my head, but I just don't think that someone not abandoning their child means they deserve respect/admiration/whatever. Particularly someone who (at the time) appeared to have plenty of money to help cater to their child's needs.

And I'm not confused about anything, other than the fact you think I'm confused?
😅

I'm glad youre not confused because the idea of a parent putting their sen kid up for adoption is super easy to understand, as painful as the idea is to us sen mums

As much as she had money, which no doubt helped, he was always with her (or her mum) and not put in a care facility, which I dont doubt other celebs of her calibre at the time wouldve done. For that, yes I respect her

She got so much stick for 'making him disabled', not to mention the treatment she wouldve recieved due to being a single mum of a partly black boy

But no, shes not perfect and isnt blameless for her life

The person I quoted there downplayed her being sexually assaulted with her kids there during a robbery as her being "touched up".

There's no excuse for that.

I used those exact words as they are the exact words that Princess uses in her reality show. They were not my words at all.

Plastictreees · 10/08/2025 19:25

I know it’s not the point of the thread, but I find it depressing how young people now aspire to be ‘influencers’ and create ‘brands’. It all seems to vapid and vacuous. Especially those with rich parents who have so many opportunities for further learning and growth. It seems KP’s children’s futures were mapped out from birth, they’ve always had so much media exposure. Did they ever think other career options were available to them? You have to wonder about the harms of it all.

TequilaNights · 10/08/2025 19:24

Princess agent banned her by looks of it and KP hasn't exactly taken it gracefully by her actions since..

No, as a sen mum i dont think its okay to abandon your child due to their disabilities. But of course a child with complex needs is easier to abandon - it has happened since the dawn of time.

Yes, i think that, given her career and the actions of his father, she could've given the child up due to his needs, or hidden him from the public view

I respect her for ignoring what must've been a lot of shitty comments at the time and making sure she stayed a mum to that boy

I wouldnt judge someone for saying they weren't in the frame of mind to raise a child with complex needs, or for aborting a child at the 20 week mark due to potential disabilities. But I would feel incredibly sad.

I dont get your outraged tone or potential confusion at the idea of a woman abandoning her children (particularly those with needs) for their career. His bio dad quit for the sheer hell of it.

Princess is going to be a huge influence I think, she’s already got a big following on SM and the money and backing behind her. It’s best to keep both of her parents out of it.

suzanne40 · 10/08/2025 19:14

I can see why Katie is upset by not being included in the documentary, but at the same time she is a bit of a car crash and I think for Princess to do well in the industry, im guessing they want her to distance herself from her mom as much as possible and I mean that in terms of work, not personal life.

Agreed

It didn't happen.

Truetoself · 10/08/2025 16:54

On which show did PA treat KP badly? I watched their reality show and didn’t see any bad treatment and he was so upset after they broke up

It didn't happen. If you keep poking and poking and poking a bear (which my god she did ) the bear will start to growl.

He wanted a stable married with kids life. KP doesn't know how to have a stable married life with kids. She craves adoration and attention and constant stimulation. Marriage is boring for her. Kids are merely props. And all thus utter crap about "she's a great mum to Harvey" - she's really not. If you watch closely she is near on constantly mocking him/making him performing/taking the piss out of his low IQ for her own fun in an under the radar way.

A lot of women on here are really gullible and into arm chair psychology and believe she just must be a victim) traumatised (and KP will happily lead you to believe it ).

She's just a narcissist behaving like a narcissist.

Petitchat · 10/08/2025 19:08

RepoTheGeriatricOpera · 10/08/2025 18:42

You downplayed a woman being sexually assaulted because you dislike her.

Any behaviour she may or may not have exhibited doesn't excuse your disgusting behaviour.

Agreed

Hula0565890 · 10/08/2025 19:06

Jordan is just an attention seeker and will take over the show. I can see why Princess does not want her on the show. I can't see why though Princess needs her own show....she's hardly a prominent entity after all.

SquishedMallow · 10/08/2025 19:02

Gemmawemma9 · 10/08/2025 17:28

People are accusing her of lying about being raped.
Abhorrent.

You do realise there are people that lie - yes, actually lie, about this stuff right ? Have you ever met a narcissist?

youreactinglikeafunmum · 10/08/2025 19:01

JayJayEl · 10/08/2025 18:44

Wait...her not ABANDONING her son makes you respect her?? That's the absolute basic of basic things you do for a child - be a parent. Just because he has complex additional needs it doesn't make her some sort of respectable person just because he stayed with her. I don't mean to be rude, but I find it absolutely barmy that you even think that she "could've... abandoned..." ANY child.

What a disgusting thing to say.

It's not a disgusting thing to say. You're extremely naive if you think people do not lie (and that includes about the most awful things) narcissistic people find it natural.

SquishedMallow · 10/08/2025 18:58

PinchOfVom · 10/08/2025 16:38

I’m assuming none of you are aware that KP was gang raped at 7 in a park and is completely traumatised?

Hmmmmm. She was also "gang raped in South Africa" - only the camera crew state it never happened.

People do make up immoral lies you know?

LadybugsAndSunshine · 10/08/2025 18:56

She’s always been a shit mother, I remember when Harvey was born and she had a show called something like Jordon becomes a mum. She took her baby son to Ayia Napa with her teenage boyfriend and there was a scene where Harvey was on a bed surrounded by clothes and makeup while she partied on the balcony. She also took Gareth Gates virginity whilst pregnant with Harvey. I’ve never understood why people think she is a good mum to Harvey, she isn’t.
Junior and Princess are probably both mortified by her and god knows what happened to Bunny and Jett.

Livelovebehappy · 10/08/2025 18:56

I actually thought Andre was very manipulative and thoroughly awful during the breakup. But I think the last couple of years, Katie has brought a lot of this on herself. She’s pretty much neglected the children by dropping them to jet off either for holidays with boyfriends or for plastic surgery. Instead of maintains a family home for the children, she spent money on other stuff making herself bankrupt. Her recent surgery shows her boobs are enormous and she seems determined to make an embarrassing characture of herself. It’s really sad….

RepoTheGeriatricOpera · 10/08/2025 18:55

User32459 · 10/08/2025 18:49

They were both abusive to each other. I don't like Andre but he's had more normal healthy relationships since.

Every relationship Katie has had before, with and after Peter has been a car crash. There's only one common denominator.

Edited

She hasn't made good choices, there's no denying that, but a guy in his mid/late 30s going for a 20 year old isn't exactly healthy either.

JamesMacGill · 10/08/2025 18:53

SquishedMallow · 10/08/2025 18:50

First post nails it.

She claimed she was gang raped in South Africa. The film crew state this did not happen.

She's also alleged many other allegations of sexual abuse...... 🤨?

I think she is a narcissist. I also thinks she knows how to manipulate people into thinking she acts the way she does because of "trauma"/abuse by men. I don't buy that. I think she's the one that abuses her partners (and others). She's no victim. But she knows gullible women will fall for it.

Edited

Agree. I think it’s stunningly rare that women lie about rape but it does very occasionally happen.

MegaMinion34 · 10/08/2025 18:53

He was very controlling and nasty towards her on their reality TV show. She isn't without fault though. Several of her pets have died due to her neglect (one puppy was crushed to death by a chair and one of her horses escaped their paddock and got fatally struck by a car), she's lost her driving license several times, her house (that her children lived in) was a complete state, she's declared bankruptcy numerous times despite being a multi millionaire so clearly doesn't make the best financial decisions, and she doesn't have custody of her two youngest children. She has had some traumatic experiences and is clearly very troubled and in need of help, but her children shouldn't suffer because of it.

JamesMacGill · 10/08/2025 18:52

Gemmawemma9 · 10/08/2025 15:53

His behaviour towards her on their reality show was alarming to say the least. Angry, aggressive, downright nasty and controlling behaviour. Very concerning that so many on here cannot see it!
Im not saying Katie is a perfect parent but Andre is vile.

Really? The whole show seemed like him just trying to get on with life while she relentlessly belittled and pecked at him. I remember her pointing out a (small) bogey he had to the camera and laughing about it for about 10 minutes, saying he was disgusting etc while he looked mortified.

You have absolutely no idea of that.

Kinneddar · 10/08/2025 18:48

No one deserves any form of SA but she said she was gang raped as a 7 year old. She wasn't. Being SA when your children are nearby must be a horrific thing but she said she was gang raped when she was robbed again she wasnt.

Yes something did happen on both occasions and you wouldnt wish it on anyone but the bottom line is she lied.

The person I quoted there downplayed her being sexually assaulted with her kids there during a robbery as her being "touched up".

There's no excuse for that.

SquishedMallow · 10/08/2025 18:50

soupyspoon · 10/08/2025 15:29

I dont think he treated her badly at all

She's a car crash and while Ive read numerous threads excusing her by way of saying she's got this or that disorder, or she had this or that trauma, the bottom line is she is an adult and responsible for herself and her behaviour and her children have been badly parented by her.

She has killed numerous pets through neglect, its only by luck her children havent been severely physically harmed although they probably have emotionally.

First post nails it.

Also, your comment reads as if a child with complex needs is somehow easier to "abandon" than a (for want of a better word!) "normal" child is...have I misread that, or were you suggesting that?
