Katie Price and Peter Andre

So , the news came out this week that apparently Peter has had custody of Princess and Junior for a long time . I see that now it’s a new hate campaign against Katie. But , I just can not shake the feeling that Peter Andre is not a nice person.

I have felt it for a while , I watched all their shows and he was horrible to her and I read her books ( admittedly , we don’t know what is the truth and it is only one side of the story ) but something about him I just find unsettling. He has stayed quiet , which people seem to think shows he is the better person. But , I think he knows that it will and that is the only reason he’s done that. I also do not feel comfortable with his marriage, the way it started. Emily is his friends daughter , a big age gap, he already had 2 children and she was training to be a doctor but now barely practices .. of course , it could well be her choice as she can afford to stay at home and look after the children and she could be very happy but just the way he treated Katie and the way it all came about something feels off .

I am not massively pro Katie - she has made a LOT of bad choices …. But she’s also a businesswoman who made a lot of money doing what she does , provides for her children and has raised - and continues to raise - a severely disabled son and she clearly adores him whilst his Dad doesn’t care and Peter also appears to have forgotten about him.

Im sure this thread will have 2 clear sides , interested to hear peoples views

According to KP he’s never paid a penny for Harvey.

I saw a post on FB the other day where Dwight Yorke was wishing his 18 year old other DS a happy birthday and talking about how proud he was of him. I’d be so ashamed if that was my Dad, knowing how he’s avoided my half brother his whole life (Harvey).

According to Katie Price, the proven and well established liar? Ok

Exactly why I said “According to Katie Price…”

Dwight Yorke has never spoken on the situation, and given it’s 20 years plus down the line, I guess we’ll never know the truth of his involvement or lack theerof on Harvey’s life.

His redeeming qualities are Emily and the children he has with her she is stable secure and a good influence

I think without her the kids wouldn't have much of a chance and the social worker might not have removed them

This massively misunderstands the role of social workers/the state. They don't remove children because there is someone 'better' to take over. They remove children because they are massively at risk of harm or being harmed in their current environment.

He certainly did pay and as soon as that stopped the money situation really took over. There was a court order. Does she sound like the type not to claim? She’s been going back and forth to court looking for more money.

And she’s charging £35 a pop for Cameo birthday messages to people where she gets him to say, “Happy birthday you fucking cunt.” Saw one just now.
Such a great mum.

The only way I would ever think this ok is if Harvey understood. If he knew that people took the p out of him and in this way he can own it and make money - but he absolutely does not so therefore I see it as exploiting him .

She also tells him what people say about him online. And then complains to the public at large how upset he is.
I've seen footage of her saying to him, "What do you want to say to people who are horrid to you online?" And he responds, "Don't be a cunt."
And she thinks that's funny/acceptable.

The “estrangement” stemmed from the fact that Katie refused to return the children to him after an access weekend. He’d had full “custody” of them up until that point. When he went to the house to get them, she called the police on him and accused him of harassment. Ditto when he tried to watch Jett play football one weekend.
The gun thing was another vexatious allegation whereby he had an air gun/shot gun or whatever is perfectly allowable in the country for shooting vermin. Jett mentioned he’d seen it and Katie reported him to the police for possessing an unlicensed firearm. No charges were brought but each episode delayed his attempts to get the kids back and because his previous “custody” wasn’t court-ordered, it proved very difficult. She basically stopped him seeing them - or certainly one of them, alleging that he was scared of his dad. It was also around this time that Jett stopped going to school.
It was around this time that the kids’ social worker was struck off for “getting too close” to Katie. She promptly employed her as a nanny/housekeeper but she seems to be off the scene now.

I'm not siding with her but courts don't use the term custody anymore, they use the term residency. Child arrangement orders set out where there children live and the contact they have with the other parent. He may of been the main resident parent but if she had them for weekends it would of been classed under "shared care", the only way that she could of been forced to return the children was either an emergency hearing or if there was a clause in the arrangements order that stated that they had to be returned or the police would return them (can't remember the wording but assuming he didn't have it). Having been through court its very difficult to exclude contact with the other parent, even when the other parent is abusive. I have a live with order but was warned by the judge it wasn't a weapon to prevent safe contact if it went back to court.

My attempt at caring about that was using inverted commas.

You didn't have false allegations made against you though did you? About guns and abuse? Your situation is entirely different. Beggars belief that you ignored all those points in the post you replied to.

I’m not responsible for the way the courts family work. I’ve only corrected that custody the way it’s described doesn’t exist. Obviously if someone makes an allegation a gun is involved they investigate it as they have to be seen to be neutral, over all it’s not a great look if they find out you’re lying. And you have no idea what I have been through,

You also have no idea what I've been through. The fact that you decided to zone in on the term 'custody' and ignored every single abusive action of Katie Price is very telling. I assume it's people who are just like her who stick up for her and her crimes/abuse/neglect.

Crimes/abuse/neglect? I know she's been done for drink driving which is a crime but abuse and neglect? I've not read of that. She certainly abuses and neglects herself in many respects.

Well she has abused enough animals in her "care", she has neglected the children that were removed from her by social services as well. What more proof do you need?

Drink driving
drug driving
breach of a restraining order
failure to pay debts
failure to appear at court
a litany of animals have died or disappeared in her care
and 4 children removed by the courts

I wasn’t sticking up for her FFS. The context is it important because it explains how she got away with it as she was still having contact with them, and why the they weren’t in his sole care. And as for having no idea what you have been through, I didn’t actually accuse you of anything. You’ve just jumped on me as not caring about the abuse or condoning her. FML.

Why do you think she had all her children removed from her care if not neglect/abuse? The information is out there if you look for it.

@TheunamedcatHow is Peter Andre “Hell-bent” on hurting Katie? He hasn’t even mentioned her name or had anything to do with her for 16 years whereas she seldom has him out of her mind.

He hardly stopped snipping about her given the opportunity in the early years after the separation now again he has been given the opportunity via Princess show to be classy or be nasty and again he had chosen the nasty route I would be surprised if Princess keeps in touch with either of her parents sadly when she gets older

She might do what brooklyn Beckham has done marry rich and cut off the parents and I wouldn't blame her

HappySummerDays · 20/08/2025 16:20

@Theunamedcat
I’ll ask again - what do you think about the sexually loaded photo she posted on Facebook of Harvey and her lying on a bed together? And her pimping him out at £35 a go to call people cunts? Allowing him to be trolled and mocked online and telling him what people are saying about him?

TheMeasure · 20/08/2025 16:53

I want to ask those who still believe she’s a “nice person underneath” who’s been the victim of others, what they think of her posting that she hoped that Keiran Hayler’s unborn child would die, called a TikTok follower an ugly slag, got herself banned from her own kids’ school premises for calling other parents ‘fucking cunts’ in front of all the kids (and in court said she hadn’t done anything that bad) and shouted at some paps she came across in the street (unclear if they were paps she’d called herself or not) that she hoped their “fucking wives die.”
Or is all that Peter Andre’s fault too?

Did we watch the same show? He didn’t mention her once, which is obviously why she has a problem with him. She does everything she can to get him to notice her. In the video Alex Reid released she keeps asking Princess if her actions have made Andre mad? She cannot bear the fact that to him she is - to use her favourite word - irrelevant.

She's had her kids taken off her. That's because she's been abusive and or neglectful.

Read the Fathers 4Justice report on KP. It makes for harrowing reading. Drug taking, having sex with multiple men in front of the children, incest, exploitation. It tells you all you need to know She is vile

GasperyJacquesRoberts · 20/08/2025 22:09

While I've got no time for KP whatsoever, I personally wouldn't trust what the average F4J member told me without a lot of independent corroboration.

Toastedpickle · 20/08/2025 22:23

The pictures I have seen of her today that Princess posted of her in the park are horrific. Who the hell is prescribing her Ozempic?! If she keeps going, she will be dead soon.
