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

Everything about Katie screams trauma response.

Peter Andre was emotionally abusive and then manipulative as fuck afterwards.

I really hope the kids can all come through the chaos of their upbringing.

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.

Did you just downplay sexual assault because you dislike the victim?

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.

So she gets a free pass just because she's a woman??

Thats not how it works

You're new to MN then I assume.

Katie has well documented issues with alcohol and drugs plus if it was somewhere like a nightclub then there was a high possibility of Katie taking over the night with some pics for the paps .
If the party was filmed for the programme or paid for by her dad then I can see why mum wouldn’t be invited. Have Katie and Peter attended any events post divorce and been cordial for their children’s sakes?

Her drug issues are not on her ex or her daughter to manage. And do you really think they celebrated her birthday as a family in a nightclub? You missed the point of my post entirely. Only princess can decide if she wants her mother there and my point is whether it was actually HER decision. The article also said that Princess spends a lot of time at Katie's house. So they are not estranged at all. I actually think KP would probably respect if that's what Princess wanted. If she for example wanted two birthday parties, one with each parent. Or her mother would be invited for parts of the day and not others. KP obviously feels she's systematically being kept away from important events. It's the easy way out to say she's a lunatic because of drugs and therefore can't be believed.

For me its how peter treated her on that documentary which shows me that hes a shit person

There's some talk a out his manager having an input in the show, and having had a part to play in destroying Katie's image

She is a mess, there's no doubting it. Shes gotten many things wrong and hasn't changed her ways, its not good and I dont judge anyone for disapproving of her 🤷‍♀️

But I cant help but feel that shes also a victim and that Peter's impact on their kids has helped contribute to the rift

I would say that she never abandoned Harvey, when she really could've though. That for me, makes me respect her a little.

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.

You do realise that the 4 youngest have all been removed by social services and custody given to the fathers or other paternal family members right? She is only allowed supervised access to the youngest 2.

Yes I’m guessing this is what has happened but I do not think anyone knows this for definite it’s speculation.

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.

Posts on the "CF celebrity" thread suggest she is nicer than him in real life!

Not that I know, or particularly care 😊🌞

Not raped.

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.

Flightyandmighty · 10/08/2025 18:38

At the end of the day if she is an addict ss would have stopped her children living with her. Controlling men often have relationships with much younger women which Andre now has. But his children seem to have grown up into decent people. It’s sad to see how much work kp has had done her face and body. Also how many men seem to have taken advantage of her money and there is often talk of having more children with each one.

Even Princess has said they touched her mum up

Sexually assaulted.

Not raped.

No i didnt downplay an assault i was speaking specifically about being raped. She has told so many lies about this and the story has changed dramatically over the years, mainly when the attention she craves is waning and she wants more attention on her.

All of the other people who were actually there have come out and said a rape did not happen.

I tried to find out if Princess is on OF and it seems like she isn’t. KP seems to have said that Princess is supportive of her mum’s OF career.

Is Junior also likely to be an influencer or is he too young to tell?

I watched a clip of both Junior and Princess on This Morning the other day. He wants to make it in music. It’s on YouTube.

LuckysDadsHat · 10/08/2025 18:26

She was not gang raped at the age of 7. In many of her books she has stated it was a flasher in the park.

As with a lot of her stories they evolve over time. Her armed robbery in South Africa started as just that a robbery, now when she tells the story she was raped, which is an out and out lie. The cameras were there filming it. Even Princess has said they touched her mum up but nowhere is it said by anyone there or since was she was raped. It also started as the robbers had sticks and has ended up as gun totting robbers.

She is full of bullshit.

Katie must be a bit bored today

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

Merrilydancing · 10/08/2025 18:15

KP is now seen as a toxic brand and Princess was probably told not to include her in the show because it would reflect badly on her and possibly ruin her chances of future lucrative collaborations.

It will all be about money and KP will understand this.

Snorlaxo · 10/08/2025 18:14

Perimenoanti · 10/08/2025 17:35

Also read not long ago that KP wasn't invited to Princess 18th or some important day like that. She pointed out that she felt excluded so this documentary they are doing is just one of many instances where's she's being excluded as the other parent. Not clear if that's what princess wants. Even if she said she doesn't want her there I'm not sure I believe it. A narcissists control is strong and it's extremely difficult to disentangle from that as such a young person.

I don't know if princess is able to fund herself yet, but if she relies on her dad for money she will know 'whats expected'.

Katie has well documented issues with alcohol and drugs plus if it was somewhere like a nightclub then there was a high possibility of Katie taking over the night with some pics for the paps .

I always thought Peter was foolish to get involved with Katie Price in the first place.

He wouldn't have had a media career if he hadn't. One cheesy hit in 90's doesn't go very far.

youreactinglikeafunmum · 10/08/2025 18:04

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 10/08/2025 17:56

You can dislike Katie Price all you want, and there are many reasons to, but there are several points that cannot be disputed:

  • Peter Andre is a raging has been narcissist who is now exploiting his kids in a way that Katie would have been vilified for.
  • We believe women. It is obvious to anyone that Katie Price has had horrific experiences and to diminish them or call them liars is a shit.
  • That doesnt excuse things but it is a reason and KP needs to seek help.
  • She may not have got it right but prociding support to Harvey is not wrong and is a slap in the face to carers to suggest otherwise.
  • His manager Claire (or Carby Claire as she used to be called on MN) is living in 2004 with an outdated show like this and is a shit manager.

Agree with this

It’s a fairly hollow show. Bland, inoffensive not exactly riveting stuff. The poor girl gets vile sexual DMs though apparently

Do not blame her behaviour on ADHD. It's her personality, not that thanks!

I certainly don't behave like miss Price.

I don't mistreat animals or do any of the things she does. I am also not medicated.

She smacks more to me of a personality disorder but I am not an armchair psychologist.

But I do know that ADHD doesn't make you act like a dick. Your personality does.

I hate attention and would never do the things she does.

You are no more representative of the whole of the ADHD community than an adult who is a genius is representative of the whole ASD community.

People with ADHD are also more at risk of developing personality disorders, but her reckless, impulsive, behaviour and poor executive function can certainly be put down to ADHD because it's typical.

Unfortunately Katie's life has become a car crash but creepy Pete isn't great IMO. I remember an episode of the show where he's in a restaurant with no other people and Junior is demanding a kiss on the lips from a waitress (what normally raised 3 year old does that) and Pete half heartedly says 'oh no you can't possibly do that' - then tells the waitress and she agrees to kiss him on the lips. Pete is loving that his son is kissing women at 3 years old and keeps going on and on and on about it. It's creepy AF.

zanahoria · 10/08/2025 18:00

Call me a cynic but I suspect this rift has been manufactured to promote young Princess's TV show. It certainly seem to have had enough coverage. I doubt Katie cares, she knows how the media works.
