She clearly does not give a shit about fines or being disqualified and okay this time got a suspended sentence but she just carries on and on and on.

Katie Price is found guilty of driving without insurance

The former glamour model, 45, was accused of driving a bronze diesel Range Rover on August 2 last year on the A14 bypass in Kettering without insurance.

i cant understand how she still has jett and bunny in her care

Kinneddar · 20/03/2024 00:42

I thought they were with their Dad too

OneFrenchEgg · 20/03/2024 07:26

She was 30 in 2009 so would be 45 now in that time line

Emmelina · 20/03/2024 08:01

Unless the courts start following through with an actual punishment she'll keep doing it. Where's the deterrent?

Fizbosshoes · 20/03/2024 08:21

For all the other fantasy that she comes out with I thought her age was actually right. She's been a year younger than me for as long as I can remember!

Slating her doesnt help though does it?

No but it’s a bit much to like someone who kills animals. You can choose not to comment. Or say you hope she gets the help she needs or she stops behaving the way she does because she’s going to hurt someone else or herself.

Why should she get away with all this when others don’t?

RosaMoline · 20/03/2024 11:04

I honestly don’t understand why some people (as demonstrated on this thread) like her, or shout ‘leave her alone!’ ‘She’s a great mum’ or, ‘Be Kind!’
In my opinion, she has not one single redeeming feature, is a shit mum & shouldn’t be allowed animals and doesn’t believe laws or rules apply to her. I wish she’d disappear into obscurity & the media would stop reporting on her.

I don't think people are unreasonable to object most strongly to the way she lives her life as and when it impacts on others. and people are justifiably angry to see her seemingly get away with flouting laws that the rest of us abide by, especially when it involves animals and (her) children.
Incredibly, it seems as though she still has a hard core group of fans who still think she's a great mum and has been an unfortunate victim in life. Frankly, the more publicising of all the crimes she commits without a backward glance, the better.

I agree completely, @SilkFloss.

Yes! You explained this better than I did!

Edited

nope still with her approx a year or more ago she just never gave them back and lots of things have gone on eg bunny constantly making accounts on social media,the kids social worker now works as the kids nanny and general dogs b ody also jet has not been to school since she had them full time

so many instants regarding safe guarding and she gets away with it all still

Gowlett · 20/03/2024 17:17

Why do lovely looking people get the work done?
I know that isn’t the topic (well it kind of is as her looks are her job) but she when she changed from Jordan to Katie Price, she could have run with that. I just think she has bad advisors, or does she not have a manager? The woman who manages Peter (her ex) is brilliant & reinvented his career.

Maybe she just doesn’t listen…

I really don't get the venom towards KP.

She has admitted to having mental heath issues and she was sexually assaulted. Her mum has had life threatening health issues for the past few years. She had to raise her disabled kid on her own. That amount of plastic surgery really is not the sign of someone who feels good in her own skin either.

Basically she has had a lot to cope with in life, famous or not.

I don't see what sending her to jail would achieve since what she obviously needs is some serious psychological/mental health support nor would it do her kids any good to see their mother jailed.

This thread is rather sad. Talk about trying to finish off someone when they are already down...

Neither do I but she drives whilst banned, with no insurance and has been caught driving under the influence. She is going to kill or maim herself or someone else.

If she was anyone else she would have been sent down a long time ago, so I don’t understand why she gets away with it all the time, but that just reinforces her belief that it’s ok. She needs to be shown that it’s not. She needs some serious help.

I found the Grace Dent podcast interesting as often celebrities say "oh, reporters take my words out of context" or "that is completely untrue actually". But here we had Katie Price and her opinions and her narrative in her own words on a podcast. I found it interesting but really disturbing.

For example, she said in interview that she wants more kids. Grace asked how many and she said something like "loads, as many as I can have". Which is just crazy considering:

a) she has 5 kids already and there seem to have been serious issues with her as a parent with some of her kids being removed from her care.
b) she is facing bankruptcy so where will the money come from to raise these extra kids.
c) she is 45 and single and said in interview she never wanted another romantic relationship again as everyone is out to use her or cheat on her.

I find the animal abuse (for that is what it is) utterly abhorrent and the driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol completely unacceptable.

I wonder what Grace Dent really made of KP and the interview.

I listened to it, and noticed she "loved it" being in front of the camera, modelling, being on TV, making her own shows etc....but hated the press....but to a certain degree (especially in the early days) she needed them to talk about her/publicise her show, surely?

And her reason for wanting more children was because she loved chaos! Not because she loved babies or children!!

She's done that deliberately. It's butterfly filler.

Looks awful to me and almost painful but she likes it.

Oh my goodness I didn't realise it was intentional! She's totally lost the plot, poor thing.

oprahwindsock · 22/03/2024 17:49

Now she has to find another place for Harvey as she can't afford the fees.

How will she afford another place.

Doesn't make sense.

stomachamelon · 22/03/2024 18:29

@oprahwindsock I imagine his fees are covered by government/ council due to his needs and it's an appropriate placement.
My boys went to private sen schools but I didn't pay.

SilkFloss · 22/03/2024 20:39

I don't suppose him needing to leave the National Star College is anything to do with her financial straits.
We don't know the real story here (and nor should we) but I'm pretty sure someone with his needs would be fully funded.

stomachamelon · 22/03/2024 21:56

I have read an article that said she asked for another year's funding and was refused so has been asked to find him somewhere more cost effective.

GeordieDownSouth · 22/03/2024 22:48

Oh god bless Harvey.

I hope that Dwight Yorke offers to pay. It's the least he can do.

SilkFloss · 22/03/2024 23:01

Dwight Yorke has paid out a lot for Harvey over the years. We have no idea that he wouldn't be willing to contribute now too.

'paid out' is a odd way to put it.

SilkFloss · 23/03/2024 13:52

Is it? Why?
I was mainly referring to the quoted £35,000 pa he paid to Katie's mum to chaperone Harvey to school each day. That would probably equate to about £60K these days.
I presume (although I'm guessing) he might also have paid Child Support?

stomachamelon · 24/03/2024 17:15

I think it's a ploy for sympathy from Katie. She has known for a while the council want to fund one cheaper and nearer to her. Probably so he can spend time at home too. She has acknowledged this before and the fact they are unwilling to keep funding it.

It's not as simple as DY stepping in to pay. I imagine this has very little to do with KP as HP is now an adult and his needs will be assessed by the council and funded. It just has to be cost effective.

GeordieDownSouth · 24/03/2024 21:50

I don't begrudge Harvey's school being paid for by the taxpayer per se. However, given that both his parents are/were millionaires, I don't see why it should be?

Even if Dwight has paid some of Harvey's upkeep over the years, he hasn't been present, and he needs to make up for that.
