To wonder why there’s no media reportings that describe Dwight Yorke as the scumbag that he is?

He has had no presence in Harvey’s life. Why isn’t this repeatedly in the media as to how atrocious this is? Misogyny at its finest or something else?

He paid out years ago for Harvey, made it clear he didn’t want a relationship and has been open and honest about that.
Maybe he still finances H?
Not Dad of the year obviously but then is KP any better?

@TinyTempest Katie has been there for Harvey from day one.

Dwight however also had a choice and chose to opt out. Scumbag.

@youreactinglikeafunmum no idea if he has ever paid.

How can it be fine though to not want to be a dad? He IS a dad. A thoroughly awful one.

Honestly, i said the same about mo gilligan

In my own experience, a 'dad' who doesn't want or like you, who is being forced to be around due to societal pressure, is worse than an absent one

The kid will know they aren't wanted. Better to be with a mum who is sane and loves you

Brainwashed? Because I said she chose her boyfriends?
What a ridiculous suggestion.

It was newsworthy at the time Harvey was born. She chose to have sex with a man who had no interest in becoming a father. Yes he is a shit bag who should have used condoms

Did dwight at least pay for Harvey? I cant remember

I suppose if you dont wanna be a dad, fine. But it seems to me it was about his disability, which makes me sad 🥺

Because it’s old news. It’s been reported on for many years now.

@HundredMilesAnHour not sure that’s the only reason, given Katie is still criticised for actually parenting.

It’s mind boggling that a man can do what Dwight did to Harvey and that’s apparently Katie’s fault!

Just how brainwashed are you by the patriarchy @TinyTempest and @Kangarude ? Sad.

'the men shes been dealt'

That's such a weird way of putting it.

Almost as though she had literally no choice.

Are you just gonna follow me around mumsnet today?

Yeah, shes been dealt a bad hand when it comes to men imo

She makes bad choices so isnt blameless

But no-one forced Dwight to abandon their son

Yanbu!

I've another thread but I find it hard to hate Katie price, given the men shes been dealt

Whats his career like now though, does he do anything? I havent really seen him in the press

The men she chose. She did have a choice

Glitchymn1 · 10/08/2025 15:53

Andrew Tate, Trump - they don’t get nearly as much coverage as they bloody should. Imagine if they were women.
