To feel sorry for Katie Price?

What happened to those two male hairdressers that were her best mates?
What's happened to most of the people she used to have around her, come to that? She appears to have driven most of them away, or they were fair-weather friends who've abandoned her in her hour of need.

Because I think the insinuation that being from a big family with plenty of support makes you a better person is dangerous.
It doesn’t make you a better person. It makes you less vulnerable. It makes you less vulnerable to abuse and it makes you less vulnerable to false allegations about your character afterwards.

CallmeAngelina · 27/11/2019 19:23

I cannot fault Katie for the way she has dealt with Harvey since he was a baby, and I fully support her decision to move him into residential care now.
But I'm afraid the rest of her parenting looks decidedly dodgy.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 27/11/2019 19:23

I really struggle with anyone claiming she’s a great parent when 4 of her 5 children have been effectively taken away from her.

Where did you derive that from? The point about Peter's family was made in answer to whoever it was who said that Katie deserves credit for the amount of love surrounding her children. Nothing to do with him being a "better person." No one on here has said that he is better than her, just expressed relief that those children have a stable home at the moment, when all is up-in-the-air at Katie's.

Lizzy1980 · 27/11/2019 19:28

I don't really feel sorry for her. I do think she's quite a sad character but I've heard her say too many spiteful and unkind things about other people to feel overly sorry for her. I do feel sorry for her children though, can you imagine having that as your mother

I don’t think she has been a great parent and it’s absolutely for the best that the children aren’t with her now. She’s sinking very fast and was possibly putting them at risk (drink driving, awful home conditions- pictures online of the toddlers flinging rabbit poo around the living room!) her rock bottom, if this isn’t it, is very close. Those children need to be away from that. She needs massive intervention but she isn’t the type to a) see that and b) co-operate. She’s obviously in denial about how bad things are. Hopefully the two dads will remain stable and prioritise the DC. Hopefully keeping them out of the media. No doubts about PA but I dont know anything about the other one.

flapjackfairy · 27/11/2019 19:33

I have 2 children with complex needs and I would have been in seventh heaven to have her money because it would be able to provide everything my children would ever need in terms of care. Harvey could have remained at home with round the clock care for his whole life if she had been sensible.

MamaFlintstone · 27/11/2019 19:34

I don’t like her, but I do feel a bit sorry for her, in the same way I feel sorry for other women with little self esteem who base their self worth on the male gaze and ureliable men who they get knocked up by within minutes. Add an addictive personality into the mix (surgery, drugs, having babies) and it was all going to implode at some point.

I assumed the manicures/pedicures spend was code for a raging coke habit because even if it were daily applications of svarovski crystals it wouldn’t cost that much.

Deadsouls · 27/11/2019 19:35

I think she is an addict in active addiction, all sorts of addiction, she is not in any mind of recovery and has not successfully completed treatment. And her life is falling apart around her as a consequence.

Thesearmsofmine · 27/11/2019 19:56

Her mum must be very worried about and what will happen when she is no longer here.

Dard · 27/11/2019 20:04

Apparently the makeup friends who went with her to the Oscar's dropped her when she could not pay any more and now do Chloe Green's makeup daughter of philip Green think she was dropped once rot set in.
Re her autistic son I did read that he had to be put into residential care to also safeguard her younger children as he could be aggressive smash things and wake them up at night, autism is very hard to cope with,she has said on record he can be aggressive probably the only thing she has not shown.He has more than just Autism and must take its toll

That clip of her laying into Emily Atack came up on my twitter feed. She is really awful. This is a 41 year old mother of five .... can't repeat it if you haven't seen it. She should be ashamed of herself.

And she was hitting out at nothing much.

I read that too, but it doesn't mean it's true.
But the liaison was good for her own image too.

I have sympathy for her. Every bloke she has ever been with has been a prick, or at least it looks that way. I think she'd benefit from a few years alone.

MissSueDenim · 28/11/2019 01:37

I seem to remember that PA and his management had a plan on IACGMOOH that he would target KP for publicity...

Nope that’s not true, it was the other way round.

One of KP’s reality shows documented the build up to her entering jungle & there’s a scene where she’s sitting down with her management & her boyfriend at the time, Scott Sullivan, discussing how to get maximum exposure. Basically it was agreed that she’d target PA, be flirty, engineer situations for them to be alone by disappearing into the jungle together etc.

Meanwhile back in England, it was agreed that Scott would be speaking to the press about how he wanted to smash PA’s face in for flirting with her, that he was going to fight for her because she’s ‘The One’ & to top it all off, he would then dramatically get on a plane to Australia for a showdown with the pair where he’d win her back & then they’d sell stories / do magazine deals about being reunited, their true love etc. Katie even made it a point to reassure Scott that no matter what he sees on TV, it’s all for publicity & to not get jealous. They even arranged to go on holiday together with Harvey & to get photographed as a family just before she entered the jungle so that Scott would be more in the public eye for when it all kicked off.

Unfortunately for Scott though, she genuinely fell for PA.

The reason it sticks in my head is because I was only 15 at the time & naively believed everything I saw on reality tv & was shocked at how contrived it actually all was, it was my first glimpse behind the scenes so to speak.

KittySplatz · 28/11/2019 02:32

D'ya know what?

i really feel for her. Regardless of the pink stuff and whatever.

She needs a good friend. One to keep her safe and away from the public. She needs time alone.

I am not her greatest fan, but I can see where she is heading if she has no support.

Katy? You need to move away. Probably ooop north!

Northern women don't give two shits about how they look.

If you read this...come and stay with me in Lancashire. I think you might love it!

KittySplatz · 28/11/2019 02:39

Katy

You HAVE gone too far with these fellas.

Time to wind your neck in.

Seriously.

I am the most drunken piss head that ever lived. I have reined myself in for my mum n dad overall. My mum died four years ago. My dad has got a new woman!!!!! The THINGS I WANT TO SAY....but i don't.

Imtootired · 28/11/2019 02:57

Did peter Andre keep in touch with harvey? I know it’s not his responsibility but it would have been really nice for him to have a caring father figure

Horehound · 28/11/2019 02:59

People who are declared bankrupt always have money sitting about in places. Her life won't change. No i don't feel sorry for her.

Starlight456 · 28/11/2019 06:03

@Imtootired there was stuff on the program years ago Katie was making It very difficult with Harvey, he was wanting too, however much of that is true no idea

HairyToity · 28/11/2019 07:24

I too feel sorry for Katie, although she has brought it on herself. Her house of cards has come crashing down.
