To feel sorry for Katie Price?

Imagine the fucked up perspective you must get on what constitutes a normal relationship when you start getting naked in front of strange men as a teenager.

She had almost no chance at a normal life after that; perhaps if she'd been around in the 80s but the reality TV age took full advantage of her.

BennyTheBall · 26/11/2019 20:30

To me she comes across as troubled but really lovely.

Really not getting the 'lovely'. Confused She's always seemed the absolute opposite of lovely. Mean and spiteful.

CallmeAngelina · 26/11/2019 20:34

Maybe she has never got over Peter, but that too she brought upon herself. He adored her, and would have stayed with her for life (as marriage and family is much of what he's all about) but she constantly bickered and griped and belittled him, and then allegedly crossed one (or both) of his two lines in the sand, fidelity and drugs.
Regardless of how or why they got together in the first place, he has gone on to make a highly successful career for himself, found deep happiness in marriage to a lovely woman, and provided a secure, stable and loving home for Junior and Princess. Katie could have had all that, and I think it's killing her every day to know what she threw away.

CallmeAngelina · 26/11/2019 20:36

And her financial troubles took a nose-dive that day she sacked (or he may have walked out) her brother as adviser.

CallmeAngelina · 26/11/2019 20:37

I have just always had the feeling she has a heart of gold
Did you see what she said about Emily Atack? I know Emily "started it" but Katie took it to a whole lower level that was spiteful and bitchy. No "heart of gold" in evidence there.

BennyTheBall · 26/11/2019 20:38

I know it's fashionable to slate Peter Andre on here, but I think he is the person Katie wishes she could be.

I am pleased for him that he has settled with someone lovely, and he seems very happy. I hope his 2 elder children spend the majority of their time with him and not their messed up mum. She is just a mess.

Footballmumto3 · 26/11/2019 20:40

I think she’s probably a chronic self sabotager.
An absolute product of the pre #MeToo glamour industry.
She was probably too powerful for Peter Andre.
I’m suspicious of men with much younger wives that they choose to have children with very early in the relationship. Call me cynical .

TheresWaldo · 26/11/2019 20:43

I do feel sorry for her a bit. She's been exploited a lot by others. Like Jade Goody, she's been clever enough to keep her eye on the prize but not so clever enough to see the bigger picture. The men in her life have been there not for love but for what they can get out of it. Ironically I think some of them have made better parents though. The whole thing is quite tragic. For the sake of the kids I wish she could step up and sort herself out.

EmmiJay · 26/11/2019 20:43

I do feel sorry for her. She was sucked into all this from a very young age and something tells me she never really had a chance to mature (because of her industry I guess she didn't have to...?) Its a shame but lets hope this is her rock bottom and she turns it all around.

iswhois · 26/11/2019 20:45

Yeah I feel bad for her.

Ohyesiam · 26/11/2019 20:45

Sure she’s probably had opportunities that she’s not taken advantage of, and she’s enjoyed the riches of celebrity. But celebrity is such an ungrounded thing, with few reality checks.
Being objectified, and objectifying yourself like that must have such a negative impact, and i I imagine you wouldn’t know who to trust.

Wendyasbury · 26/11/2019 20:45

I would love to see people stop talking about her & let her dissappear out of the limelight. She brings zero talent/ interest. And I think it would be best for her & particularly her children to try have a normal life. Stop giving her attention.

Dard · 26/11/2019 20:45

I find Peter Andre very smug I'm sure it's better for the children to be with him atm.
She has just jumped from one man to another and they seem to get worse each time her recent husband won't get anything now at least.

@CallmeAngelina
Yes probably not her finest moment.
I still like her

NeverGotMyPuppy · 26/11/2019 20:48

Sorry - heart of gold? At one point amongst the extra marital affairs, the parading her children round as much as she likes, her notion that the police have got in 'in for her' and the tact that she is only famous for getting her tits out gets you to that conclusion?

BerwickLad · 26/11/2019 20:49

She's broke and unhappy and she doesn't seem to have anyone useful around her apart from her mum. So yeah ofc I feel for her.

Sparklingbrook · 26/11/2019 20:52

I think Peter Andre has distanced himself from it all perfectly.

CallmeAngelina · 26/11/2019 20:53

She posted footage of Princess on Instagram recently, saying "Look at her; she's such a "mini-me."
God, you've got to hope not, for Princess's sake.

EmpressJewel · 26/11/2019 20:53

I liked KP when she went on I'm a Celebrity.... all of the reality tv stars have tried to model themselves on her, through creating a brand, being famous for being famous and flogging lots of products.

It's sad to see how she has unravelled. I thought she was an astute business women who was building a sustainable brand whilst it lasted. In reality, she only sees her own value in how she is perceived by men.

EmmiJay · 26/11/2019 20:55

Peter Andre is smug. I rewatched their series together over the summer (boo hiss ☻) and he was very, very emotionally manipulative towards her. I felt she did alot to please him but was never good enough. She was almost skeletal to look perfect for him ultimately and all the surgery and the footage of him looking very guilty when left alone in a hotel room with her mate. He just makes my skin crawl.

CallmeAngelina · 26/11/2019 20:55

she doesn't seem to have anyone useful around her apart from her mum.
She's clinging on to Junior & Princess for dear life too though. Those two seem to be very well-grounded and normal (which I would attribute to Peter, actually) and seem to love her (from a safe distance).

Dard · 26/11/2019 20:56

Let's hope she doesn't follow in her footsteps she'll probably be on Love Island in a few years.Both parent's seem to push them into the limelight.

CallmeAngelina · 26/11/2019 20:58

I didn't see him (PA) as emotionally manipulative. I saw him as someone who was frustrated at her constant self-absorption and inability to relax and be nice. She must be terribly exhausting to be around.

Roussette · 26/11/2019 21:00

She thinks it's a good idea to go bankrupt because it's wiping the slate clean. Clueless
And what about all the companies she owes money to? She's just pleased no one is going to bother her for money now because she isn't got any. Never mind businesses could go under because of her unpaid bills...
She is a selfish woman. I feel so sorry for her kids. Thank god there's some fathers around to pick up the pieces... like Peter Andre, Kieran whatshisname. The kids living with her must be so disruptive to them, their schooling and all of that.

And I hate how she sells every story possible. This bankruptcy will be one for sure. She needs help big time.

CallmeAngelina · 26/11/2019 21:00

she'll probably be on Love Island in a few years
I think Peter will strongly discourage anything like that. I think Emily has shown him a different world (and he's on-board with preserving the privacy of his younger two).
