The guys who videoed her knew exactly what they were doing and am.sure theyve been paid huge amounts for the footage. I really dont know how she's going to come back from this, I really do feel for her. She needs help

She shafted herself.

I’d have sympathy for her if she was secretly filmed like Kate Moss was, but that’s not what happened here. She willingly let two strangers film and photograph her, and she posed and put on an embarrassing show for their cameras. She’s really not naive, she knows from experience that things like this get out and she did it anyway.

She isn't, and won't be, the only person to have a terminally ill mother. Most people who do don't not behave like this; they're more likely to be supporting the person who is ill. She is setting an appalling example to her children. They deserve so much better than this.

I'm astonished that people are excusing her behaviour. She's a disgrace.

flopsyrabbit1 · 09/09/2018 15:02

it always amazes me how these celebs/footy players act and dont think it will be leaked to the public,its madness how they think they wont get caught out and how it effects their reputations

Claw001 · 09/09/2018 15:05

sleepyblue according to the report in the news, the neighbour is also a friend. It doesn’t state if the neighbour had any help etc.

I’m not so sure about social services stepping in if she did. People who can afford legal advice and high publicity seem to be left alone!

Sallystyle · 09/09/2018 15:07

I have sympathy for anyone who is this chaotic and messed up. She has made her choices and the consequences are very sad for her children but I always think it is sad to see someone messing up their own lives. Not that it is any excuse for some of her actions and I think she is a shit show for a parent, but I still have some sympathy for what is a clearly very messed up person.

She is a very good business woman though so I'm sure she will come of this mess OK in the long run. Her children not so much.

susiella · 09/09/2018 15:10

KP can't help but attention seek. Never could. Many moons ago she was on C4's Faking It, she was supposed to fake it as a stable girl and learn to be a showjumper in a week aand even though she was doing brilliantly as Stablehand Katie, it was less than 4 days (iirc) before she was piling on the makeup and throwing herself at any man who would look near her. Straight back to her Jordan side
WhatAmISupposedToBeDoing It wasn't Katie Price in the programme Faking It

Ffs. 'Woman cuts loose on night out having first ensured childcare arrangements were in place for her family.'. Not much of a scandal, is it? As for all of the 'she should think about Harvey' stuff, AFAIK there's never been a suggestion that she neglects him or any of her kids and also when was the last time his fucking useless father thought about him?

TheBrilloPad · 09/09/2018 15:16

@TooMuchPenis Pepsi/Hep C actually made me snort out loud. Don't stop there. Fill the gaps. You can do this.

incywincybitofa · 09/09/2018 15:16

Peter Andre is being smug about her not being around for first days at school but she trashed him in her biography for missing Junior's first day at school.
That said for someone who claims he doesn't like her using their kids in social media, he's not exactly shielding them at the moment. Kieron Hayler is the dad of her youngest two children, I hope he's doing his best. They'll need that while she isn't at her best. It's probably been the first time he's had to step up as a parent we can all only hope he does it well. My suspicion is Harvey has a whole care structure set up, being overseen by a neighbour maybe but not cared for by a neighbour.

I am wondering why her children aren't living with her. Its not the bankruptcy as bankruptcy doesn't mean that you have to give up your children your reasonable costs for them are allowed.

I agree with a previous poster she's very vulnerable and no one is helping her instead they all seem to be deserting her sinking ship. Lots of women behave like this on holiday. They don't get sold out by two guys they met in a bar. Some get humiliated on TV documentaries and news reports about resorts like that, but singled out and humiliated no.
If I'm honest I'm dreading this turning into another Paula Yates type of tragedy. If someone doesn't catch her soon she will end up killing herself intentionally or because she self destruct, and whilst her youngest 4 have dads stepping in Harvey does not and he will need a lifelong guardian.

Roussette · 09/09/2018 15:21

Very good business woman, my arse. She might've been years ago but to be faced with bankruptcy after being a multi millionaire does not smack of being a good business woman to me. She could have had security for life if she had been more careful with her money.

expatmigrant · 09/09/2018 15:22

incy
I completely agree with you. Someone who cares needs to go and get here and do some sort of intervention a la Ben Affleck.
Watching that video just made me feel really sad for her. And yes the Paula Yates thought has also entered my mind.
Just hope there somebody in her family/friends circle looking after poor Harvey.

Sallystyle · 09/09/2018 15:22

Yes, that is very true Rousette

Oddcat · 09/09/2018 15:23

KP is very press savvy so must have known this would get out . She has used the media to her advantage for years so in this case it would seem that she's lost control . To me , She's always seemed so unsettled , flitting from one relationship to another , constantly having plastic surgery , having film crews in her house , sad really.

I actually watched one of her shows not that long ago. The way she talks to KH is dreadful. If he was cheating and she despised him that much, she should have asked him to leave but she kept him there to look after the kids. It was only when she went away with The Ginger One for her birthday that he moved out and then TGO was being filmed 'training' Harvey in the garden - apparently she had approached him to get Harvey fitter and now I presume Harvey won't be having him as a personal trainer.

And two months on we have the new one (I think he's called Alex). And he was on the holiday where she was taking coke.

Four of her children have good father's who will step up and take care of the kids. But poor Harvey has no one other than his mum and the way she brings people in and out of their lives is just awful. And all filmed too so the kids can watch this car crash over and over whenever they want.

Women get cheated on every day, so do men. Couples break up every day. But the majority don't behave like this.

uh think you forgot the last few months its certainly not just a night out,seriously if you dont see a huge problem regarding her behaviour in all this effecting her family i despair i really do

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 09/09/2018 15:27

Excellent posts, U2 and IncyWincy; this woman is hurtling along a very self-destructive path and when she's no longer a cash-cow, she'll be completely alone - with her children and no support system in place.

There are plenty of women who struggle and fail - but they're not in the public eye so they don't get vilified by inadequates online. It really sickens me to see how many women just can't wait to stick the boot in to another woman, any chance they get. You'd think they were personally affected by the woman they're rubbishing, but no... it's just sport.

Roussette · 09/09/2018 15:30

U2 Yes... in 2012 she was worth £45 million. Now she is trying to avoid bankruptcy. Total and utter madness.

Her star is waning... she's been banned from driving twice, her ghost writer who writes her books has died.. I am just not sure how she's going to make the money she used to... in fact, how she is going to make any money. It sounds mean to say, but I think people are at best bored with her.. and at worst, sick to death of her.

How many times can you introduce some new bloke with 'he's the one, he really understands me, we are so much in love'. She said this about the last one after a month, now he's history after three or four months. It's just boring to me!

flopsyrabbit1 · 09/09/2018 15:31

maybe because many women have grown up and matured and dont have the mantra "look at me look at me"and put others especially their kids first instead of themselves

PawneeParksDept · 09/09/2018 15:32

I do think Peter Andre might step in for Harvey if something tragic happened

He tried to keep the boy in his life but Katie threw obstacles in his path.

She wouldn't let him visit Peter unless Peter contributed to his expensive specialist care something that was not his responsibility whatsoever but hers as his sole legal parent.

Very sad for Harvey all round

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 09/09/2018 15:35

Well, if you like to compare yourself to somebody in a downward spiral then that's up to you, flopsy, I don't and wouldn't but, if it makes you feel good then I suppose you must. I'll try not to judge you for that.

SpottingTheZebras · 09/09/2018 15:35

I am not a fan of hers at all, or any of her ex-husbands, but there is a big difference between singing/rapping a song with lyrics about drugs and being caught actually taking them.

I’ve been known to sing along to all kinds of songs that are in the radio when driving along, but it doesn’t mean they relate to my life.

Yes to those who have said they think Katie self destructing, I agree. I also think that whilst she is not the celebrity whose children were taken away, that they would be if it wasn’t for the fact their fathers seem to have primary custody (except for Harvey, who clearly is not in her care regardless of where he is) so it has preempted it.

flopsyrabbit1 · 09/09/2018 15:41

yes i will judge herLyingWitchInTheWardrobeif it was jo public the authorities would be involved even with fathers about

but if your happy to stand and watch and give the thumbs up thats clearly your problem

Clawdy · 09/09/2018 15:44

Who was the celebrity who had her kids taken away?

birdsdestiny · 09/09/2018 15:45

I think there's a slight difference between giving her the thumbs up, and calling her 'a thick tramp' and calling her names for ' spreading her legs'. Two of the more delightful comments on this thread.
