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

This classy response from Katie re Pete's statement

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/celebritynews/katie-price-breaks-silence-feud-b1243232.html

Love it!

Good on her! 👏👏

That was a great statement and I absolutely agree with the saint/sinner thing!

Pete try’s to be the ‘saint’ but to get there Katie had to be the sinner!

I stand by I like Katie, she’s had an absolutely rough ride, became self destructive and spiralled.

Pete played the victim and did a blinder turning the world against her, while he was shacked up with Emily his 20 year younger fresh new girlfriend.

You can tell by looking at him all is not it seems.

Oh and while I’m at it, the film clip you saw the other day was a clipped edit of, yes, him speaking very poorly to Katie. Did you also see the lead-up to it, where she was goading and taunting and ridiculing him for being a has-been?
In my opinion, I think it was that period that showed him more than anything what the relationship had reduced him to and he realised he needed to do/behave better.
He certainly appears to have traded up but also to have co-created a happy family life with his second wife.

And as for “great mum to Harvey,” I think you need to raise your bar a little. @LuckysDadsHat has listed many of the ways she has failed him and continues to fail him every day the poor man is in her company.
Only last month, she ridiculed him on her SC by filming herself telling him off after he’d smashed her tv screen. She sent him back to college as a result.

TheMeasure · 17/08/2025 16:23

@Cece92How about exercising a bit of critical thinking for a moment. You seriously believe that Peter Andre “was caught basically cheating” on Katie because he was filmed ( Filmed - who by? The resident film crew in the house at the time, ffs!) coming out of a swimming pool wrapped in a towel. You think they all tiptoed into the house silently, set up their equipment and lighting and “oops! Caught them in the act!

KP certainly has issues and she herself knows that. I don’t agree with everything she’s done over the years but none of us are perfect. There’s a lot of deep rooted issues going on. I will say from what I’ve seen she’s a great mum to Harvey. I personally not a fan of Peter Andre he was horrible to her on their show and was caught basically cheating whilst her assistant or whatever was in the house asking him to go to the hospital to see Katie. I seen a clip the other day where he actually spoke to his current wife quite poorly also. I also met him last year he was pleasant to my mum on the Saturday on the Sunday I spoke to him and he was rude. So I walked off. I feel for their kids but we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. Also I will say I seen a pic of KP yesterday and honestly I was shocked. She used to be such a naturally pretty lady and she’s just went so extreme with surgery. I’m all for people doing what makes them feel happy and confident but she had essentially ruined her looks. X

What have you seen? Do you know her? Her documentaries where she gushes over him? Where she gets Harvey’s law through? It’s all publicity. See Luckydadshat’s post- that sums it up well

How has she been a great mum to Harvey? Please can you explain because I see this a lot and I just dont see what you are seeing.

She abandoned him at 6 weeks old to go and live in the playboy mansion for months on end, she has made the young man so obese with the crap that she feeds him and yes he may have conditions that preclude weight gain etc.... but as a responsible, good parent you dont then feed them a giant family sized carrot cake just for them to eat in one go. You dont feed them a whole back of mini chicken Kiev and half a bag of oven chips as one meal! You have to make the right choices for your disabled child as due to conditions they cannot do it themselves.

She wheels him out when she wants to make money on social media and in the media but basically wants nothing to do with him otherwise. She fucked off on holiday 1 day after he came out of ICU, he has been injured numerous times under her care. She peddled him round nightclubs and charged to have drunken nightclubbers have photos taken with him when though she constantly states that loud noises upset him and send him into meltdowns. She is now pimping him out on Cameo which he cant consent to. She is constantly taking pictures of him naked or almost naked and posting them all over social media which again he cannot consent to. She also gets naked in bed with him and is kissing him constantly while she is naked. David Beckham was slaughtered for kissing his young (at the time) daughter on the lips in public full clothed, but its ok for her to do it naked while in bed with him. Shocking.

So I am totally not seeing a good mum, unless your standard of being a good mum is the above! And if it is, you need to up your standards.

All of the above is totally provable if you look at her social media, and Google it. This is not stories that have been made up by the press, this is KP posting them herself on her own social media.

How can she do these video messages of him if carers are around, how is it even allowed

Because she gets away with it! How did she turn a social worker bent only for the social worker to end up becoming the Nanny of the youngest 2? You just have to Google what Lynne Rickwood the bent social worker ended up doing. She uses people and love bombs them and sadly some people dont see past her fame (infamy). In an ironic twist of fate for the bent social worker, when she finally lost custody of the youngest 2 she was binned off and sent packing. Price had no use for her when she lost the kids, and knew that the game she had been playing with getting Lynne Rickwood telling her all the tricks and tips to gain custody had failed.

Now that social worker has lost her social worker job (and apparently going through proceedings to be struck off), her nanny job for Price and god knows where she has ended up. Just another used and discarded person for Price, same as the animals in hee care all used and cute when babies but discarded when older and no longer cute on insta.

Also I remember Peter constantly saying no one knows the real reason we broke up too it’ll come out one day.. it was something along them lines I can’t remember how he worded it now but it made u think wow what did she do?? To portray her as the scumbag but without publicly saying what the actual meaning was.
He got famous because of her but wanted to continue that fame, play the victim, make the public dislike her n side with him n leave her in the gutter. Vile man.

Something to do with a termination

He has 2 carers at all times with him even when at her house. This is why its a farce when people say she brought him up alone with no help. He has always had nannys/carers/help. Hell she even left him with the next door neighbour while she pissed off for 4 days without telling the neighbour it would be that long. She also pissed off on holiday the day after he came out of ICU. She is the least caring mum.

How can she do these video messages of him if carers are around, how is it even allowed

The Guardian piece seemed balanced and fair and gave some insight into what those children experienced in Price's household without the lurid tabloid slant. I am sure it was scary at times but I am sure that she does love her mother and has a lot to process and come to terms with. She has said that she still sees a counsellor sometimes, so hopefully this helps her.

She knows how the papers work/tabloids.
But her boss Claire Powell's main clients include:

Peter Andre and his wife and children
Amy Childs
Paris Fury and her daughter
Jeremy Kyle
Gary Lucy

Hardly a roll call of talent and charisma

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.

That is horrendous, treating him like an attraction at a Victorian fun fa

Ms Price is obviously an emotionally damaged woman. Her constant need for life affirming cosmetic surgery is the outward manifestation of her troubled life. I have no idea what started it, as her sister, Sophie, seems balanced. She has made mistake after mistake with her choices of bf and husband, and has a clutch of children 4 of whom are in the custody of their fathers. The son in her custody, whom she has been a single mother, has lived in care facilities for about 10 years as he has complex needs and became too hard to manage at home due to his genetic disability. Her daughter's management company, the same one as her dad's, is run by a woman whom Ms Price accused of having an affair with Mr Andre, so they will not allow her to be involved with her daughter's career. There was a terrible incident in South Africa when Ms Price was on a holiday with her children and they were ambushed by a group of men. They were terrorised and KP raped. There was hardly any media coverage of this and I just assumed it was fiction, however Princess has recently talked of the devastating effect it had on her.

The "rape" was fiction. It was a sexual assault, but no rape.

Princess said in her series that they "touched up mum" but no mention of any rape by Princess.

It also started as men with sticks as weapons and over the years it has now changed to guns. The fact it was all on camera, and shown to the viewing public (and still available on youtube) shows how much exaggeration has come from KP.

Edited to add, KP was sued by Andre and Claire for the affair allegations and she had to pay up a lot of money. The judge called her a liar.

Makes me question why she has him home for visits now!!! I have often wondered how she manages him on holiday etc as there’s usually lots of photos of her enjoying herself in isolation then a photo dump of Harvey - clearly all taken in the same setting/at the same time. He will not be able to be left so I assume he has others there caring for him freeing KP up to do what she likes.

Fair points but Pete got custody when she was twelve. A private tutor to do interventions with has the potential to fill gaps. She must have attended at key stage 1/2 or Children's Services would have been involved much earlier. She was removed in year 7/8.
She won't be the first or last to attend public school and not be academic. But you are bang on when you say ACE affect outcomes - they do - and £ cannot always cushion it. There are, however, many who are resilient/have the smarts to achieve in spite of their formative years.

I was one of those resilient types and did very well academically, but in my experience we are few and far between. Many people who go through this stuff fall by the wayside. Being academic isn't everything anyway. There are many more ways to succeed in life and Princess is using the best of the things that she learned from KP and PA and trying to put them to good use. I think she is doing brilliantly and I pray that she continues to carve out her own path.

I always thought she was making the best of a bad situation however the animal stuff gives me sympathy. Its sheer neglect and bad attitude

I lived locally to her at one point and it's a miracle more of them weren't killed on the road. 6 dogs and horses dieing on the road is inexcusable, and they were always getting out so it was inevitable

If we had multiple family pets dying in the same way, animals being crushed in the house, and animals dying in vague circumstances then I'd struggle to look at my mum the same way!

Edited

Gives me no sympathy sorry

If her animals were being treated that way, i struggle to think what she was like as a mum.

There was also lots of buying new animals once the older ones died or lost their appeal which I feel mirrors her continued very public pursuits to have babies once her kids got older. It feels like whenever her publicity decreased she was out talking about having more babies
