To feel sorry for Katie Price?

I do feel really sorry for her. Many many years ago we shared mutual friends. My feeling is that she is somewhere on autistic spectrum, and combined with a chronic coke habit has rendered her incapable of making reasonable choices.

It's desperately sad for her kids who no doubt love their mum very much.

I wish her all the best.

astralweaks · 28/11/2019 15:48

No horses or dogs if she cannot give them a decent life.

Dard · 28/11/2019 15:50

Peter Andre is still using his children to get himself on TV, for all those saying he's some sort of saint.

Disfordarkchocolate · 28/11/2019 17:17

I don't think Peter Andre is a saint, all parents at fallible. However, he looks after his children. All the dull boring stuff like school attendance, clean uniform, food etc gets done. When you see them they look loved and cared for and every day they are with him that they have a loving and stable home. When did Katie Price last look stable?

Dard · 28/11/2019 17:18

Yes seems impossible she earned 45 million,how can u take cocaine for so many years? Very sad

Who are you saying is calling Peter Andre a saint?

hiphiphoorayback · 28/11/2019 18:11

I think Katie seemed switched on before she was with Peter. It all seemed to go downhill when he left. I think he has been a bit smug going off with a young doctor and being perfect parent. It reminds me of Kerry Katona and whathisface.

If Peter had anything about him he would offer support to the mother of his DC. This could easily end quite badly and this thread is unpleasant.

CallmeAngelina · 28/11/2019 18:24

I read that they were (a few months back) on slightly better terms. But come on - do you really think Katie is going to want what she would perceive as fake concern from him? Or any of her other exes? She's hard to help, as she has a prickly defence system.

Dard · 28/11/2019 18:39

This thread was to ask if u feel sorry for Katie Price?
I don't see how it is unpleasant most people feel for her,anyone rich or poor with issue's is sad.
I'm not a fan or a follower of her but feel for her as many people have said May be a downward spiral

She never got over Pete ending their marriage.She has body dysmorphia,her mum is terminally ill and she is terrified of aging.I dont feel sorry for her as such (apart from her mum being ill) but there are obviously underlying issues.I think she would benefit from intense therapy.

I've never bought into the idea that all her troubles started when Peter ended the marriage. I'm sure they did fall in love in the jungle but they were also motivated by the money and attention that their relationship would bring them. She brought him back from obscurity and he gave her a family friendly image. Neither of them seemed happy in the marriage, their TV show was painful to watch sometimes due to the tension and one upmanship between them, it was doomed from the start. We have no idea whether Peter has reached out to help her - some people are very, very hard to help. Especially those in denial.

IWorkAtTheCheesecakeFactory · 28/11/2019 19:42

I’m not sure what support peter could offer. He can’t give her money. She is an addict- she’ll snort it or get some surgery. He could offer to pay for therapy but she’s had all that and has always had the money to pay for it until now. He’d be throwing good money after bad. Emotional support? She’s Not going to be receptive to that. And he’s not the right person to give it to her. The best he can do is keep his children sheltered from her chaos until she is in a far better place.

He didnt 'go off' with a young doctor. He met and married someone and has moved on.

If Peter had anything about him he would offer support to the mother of his DC

Why should he? Shes had numerous partners since him. Why should she be his responsibility. Hes doing the best thing possible for their children by having them live with him and his wife. With the history between the 2 of them I cant see her taking any help from him even if it was offered

I don’t believe she was ever worth £45m

I think the huge house just became too much to cope with particularly when you’re running out of cash. It’s clear from her tv show that refurbing and maintaining it was supposed to be Kierans “job” during their marriage and it was clearly too much for him to cope with - then when he left she couldn’t afford to hire people either

Powergower · 28/11/2019 20:36

The whole situation is incredibly sad. She entered a very awfully industry at a young age and was probably manipulated by older men along the way. Didn't she also allude to sexual abuse in her childhood? On top of that she had a severely disabled child at a young age, she was let down publicly by many men along the way, her only support system her mum is dying and it's since that diagnosis that she's really been in free fall. She obviously has mental health issues, body dysmorphia, depression, low self esteem etc etc. She's lost her children and her money and her closest friends have betrayed her by sleeping with her fella. Peter did very very well out of marrying her, he also got a huge payout plus maintenance for himself. He is an absolutely awful, smug arrogant shit. She's no better but I feel dreadfully sorry for her and feel like she could be another anna Nicole unless someone close intervenes quickly.

PA & KP divorced in 2009 & he only met Emily in 2012 so I’d hardly call that “going off” with her - that’s a 3 year difference.

In fact by the time PA had even met Emily, KP had already had very public relationships with Alex Reid, Danny Ciprani, Leonardo Penna & was already with Kieran so I’m not sure how PA moving on can be held against him.

MissSueDenim · 28/11/2019 20:50

That’s just it though, you can’t help someone unless they want to be helped. It’s like with addicts, they need to acknowledge they have a problem first. It’s just rumours but apparently several people - including her brother - have tried to help but she just cuts them out of her life.

There is help out there but the only person who can save Katie is Katie - there are no white knights.

MargotLovedTom1 · 28/11/2019 21:34

People have been saying PA is a wonderful parent, blah blah blah. My point is he's still not above parading his children on television in order to maintain his fading 'celebrity' status.
