I'm surprised there are no threads on this, there were loads about ant mcpartlin.

I have no sympathy for drink/drug driving but it's so sad the way her life has turned out. I hope she can sort herself out.

@ChequerBoard

No I'm wrong - she was declared bankrupt in Nov 2019.

How has she still got the house then?

I would imagine it’s ringfenced as a company asset rather than a personal asset.

Katie’s next bankruptcy hearing is this month, (for some reason I had the date 4th Oct in my head but know it’s def this month)
From what I understand this is still being dealt with as she has not complied with the terms set out in the agreement with regards to repaying her creditors (£12,000 per month) or paperwork that needed to be submitted for it to be discharged so was extended till this month to give her a chance to start paying creditors.

I’m assuming this is why she still has the house at present (not really clued up on the bankruptcy process) and will only get taken if she hasn’t made any attempt to pay her creditors and Bankruptcy is final.

MrsFin · 02/10/2021 15:44

Is the house in her name? I'd bet a fair amount that it's not.

friendlycat · 02/10/2021 16:21

The only people I feel sorry for are her children, especially Harvey.
She has repeatedly flouted the law and driven when banned, high and over the alcohol limit. She needs to be stopped before she kills someone.

She made £45 million from her career then declared herself bankrupt but still parades about abroad and on mass shopping sprees.

She shows total disregard for the law. She looks like a Frankenstein mess now with her butchered face and teeth (and body). It’s sad but she has had a lot of chances and the type of money that most can only dream of.

She’s appeared on TV in a variety of shows. She’s had lots of professional advice etc. But to continue to flout the law as she’s done has now surely plummeted her “value” to below zero and her time is up as it were.

I think she will get a custodial sentence that may be slightly reduced due to access to Harvey. Her going into The Priory yet again is just damage limitation prior to a sentence.

It “was” in her name, but wouldn’t surprise me if she had it transferred into someone else’s name to avoid having to give it up.
amusedtodeath1 · 02/10/2021 16:51

It's sad to see what she has done to herself. When I think back to how she was in the Jungle. It's really sad, but she has no one to blame but herself. Every time she gets a new man he's a slightly scummier version of the last.

I feel guilty for even taking an interest, I definitely feel like we have passed the point of her being able to make sensible choices and it's now exploitative of someone who is clearly on a downward spiral.

I think she's got away without receiving a custodial sentence because of Harvey, but it hasn't done either of them any favours. Maybe prison, would/could be the shock she needs (and space away from the chaos) to give her the incentive to really want to change.

She's not a victim, she is responsible for the state of her life, but there's also a lot of people who have/are enabling her and don't have her best interests at heart.

At this point I think she needs to be sectioned for her own safety. Maybe that's harsh, but it would probably help her more than Prison would.

Laaaaa · 02/10/2021 22:55

@amusedtodeath1 she would never get sectioned as not mentally ill

worriedatthemoment · 02/10/2021 23:19

Maybe some should read her mums statement , no one ever knows what someone else is going through
Mental illness is cruel and can hit anyone
So let a team of drs etc decide if she is mentally ill or not , not saying she should not have to pay for crimes as such , but lets bit judge when we don't have all the facts

worriedatthemoment · 02/10/2021 23:20

@Laaaaa how do you know ? Do you have access to her medical notes ?

Elieza · 03/10/2021 00:13

Whether she is mentally ill or not doesnt trump the fact that she is a repeat offender deliberately and knowingly breaking the law again and again.

She can’t go on driving about while out her face on drink or drugs, uninsured, as she could kill someone.

Her life doesn’t trump theirs. She needs help. She’s opted to use money that should presumably have been used to pay off debts to instead pay for the priory in the hope the judge will look upon this favourably.

I hope he jails her - and that she gets counselling in there.

She needs to learn the lesson that money and big boobs can’t buy you out of some situations so best not to get into them again.

amusedtodeath1 · 03/10/2021 00:49

Of course she is mentally unwell, I'm no psychiatrist but addiction and excessive body modification are symptoms of underlying MH issues. She is also a danger to herself and others.

Couldn't agree more. Ms. Price is clearly unwell and probably has been for decades. I have always felt sorry for her in the past but she really is a danger to others, never mind herself. A medium security unit for a minimum of six months. That and a lifetime ban from driving.

That's not how the law on sectioning people works though. She won't get sectioned unless actively suicidal or an immediate danger to others (drunk driving doesn't count)

@TinySongstress

She was going -by her own admission- to buy more coke.

The only thing on my mind at 06:40 is where I can procure a double sausage and egg mcmuffin. Not Peruvian flake.

Totally off topic but you have reminded me of the time I went to the 24hour Maccys for breakfast and I was told I was, "too early".

I was taking a friend to the airport, we were not happy

Dancingsmile · 03/10/2021 07:37

Well many people here are helping to save local services millions of pounds.
Why are they involved with drug/alcohol addicted with mental health problem families ? They should back out instantly , what are they doing ?
As long as the parent loves them , all is fine.
ACES destroy children and cause them significant issues going through their lives.
Parent with significant mental health issues.
Parent having an addiction.
Being around abuse, seeing it first hand.
Being used to make money , not able to understand or give consent as too young to understand.
These are all adverse childhood experiences and will have a huge impact on their wellbeing.
But according to many, she's a good mum. She isn't, she's far from it. Yes she loves them but love alone isn't enough.

user1471538283 · 03/10/2021 08:13

I've got absolutely no sympathy for her. There are millions of mothers, some with significant mental health issues doing much much better with much less resources than she has. She chose to drive that car.

It's all attention seeking.

OrangeJuiceAndNoodles · 03/10/2021 09:43

It's not just her record with driving. Look at her behaviour.

Letting drag Queens lick her nipples on stage.
Simulating sex in public in Thailand with her ex.
Walking around topless and being all over her partners in front of her children.

And people persist with the 'but she's a great mum' line. It's bizarre. What does she have to do?

I've read her mum's statement, and feel really sorry for her (the mum, not KP), but KP needs to be stopped from driving/drinking/taking drugs/continuing with serial relationships/having babies/having plastic surgery etc etc and it's going to take some drastic action by someone.

worriedatthemoment · 03/10/2021 11:17

@CloseYourEyesAndSee how do you know she isn't - you simply don't

worriedatthemoment · 03/10/2021 11:19

@MrsFin yes she needs help , hopefully that is what she gets
But there are people on her claiming she simply doesn't have MH problems etc etc , they really don't know , thats upto drs and trained professionals to decide , not randoms on the internet

DappyApple · 03/10/2021 11:52

I’ve read the mums statement also and just feel it’s a little too late. By releasing this now IMO is to try minimise the actions that will be taken against KP for the latest charges.
Her family have enabled her for years, her behaviour has been out of control for years but all of a sudden they now realise there’s a problem, nah not buying it.

They should absolutely throw the book at her. Enough is enough!
She is despicable, but the thing is she thinks she’s untouchable as she’s been allowed to get away with it for so long and doesn’t give two figs for anyone but herself. She’s basically sticking two fingers up to the world.

Everything she does is for attention and she doesn’t care who she tramples on to get it. As for being a good mother? No absolutely not.
Those children are just accessories to her.
They get picked up and used for her own narcissistic supply and discarded when they are of no use to her. She doesn’t see them in their own right as a person but an extension of herself that’s why the girls get referred to as her mini me.
Junior has distanced himself from her and you hardly see Jett anymore.
They are of no use to her. But the girls and Harvey get wheeled out for media attention. It’s all about how they benefit her.

She has no qualms buggering off on holiday and leaving them for weeks on end without a glance backwards. Look when Harvey came out of ICU did she take care of him and nurse him back to health? Did she fuck!
She buggered off on another holiday and left him in the hands of carers.

It’s about time those fans fawning over her opened their eyes.
I’m sick of hearing Be Kind, this is being used way too much now to excuse shitty fucking behaviour.
KP hasn’t been kind to all the people she has been utterly fucking vile to over the years.

Also fed up of ‘cos mental health’ just another excuse, many many people are battling mental health issues every single day, yet they still know the difference between right and wrong.

I don’t doubt she has mental health issues but she needs to be held accountable for her actions. If You or I had done half the shit she’s done We’d be in prison by now!
If she gets away with this current offence with another slap on the wrist then sadly I don’t think she’ll stop.

worriedatthemoment · 03/10/2021 12:01

@DappyApple not saying she shouldn't get a prison sentence etc if that is what others would get , not sure her other driving offences would of been more if someone else though

Funnylittlefloozie · 03/10/2021 12:03

Drunk / drug drivers are scum. Theyve all got an excuse for it, but she needs a permanent driving ban and a custodial sentence. She's a waste of oxygen.

SofiaMichelle · 03/10/2021 14:01

Hopefully this ends up at Crown Court and then at least an appeal can be triggered by a member of the public if she's let off again.

She needs to be behind bars for everyone else's protection.

Her freedom, kids, mental health, whatever, don't trump everyone else's right not to be killed by a pissed up, drugged up, dangerous, banned driver.
