Katie Price and Peter Andre

[Leedssdeel]

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

I know what you mean about PA, there’s something about him I don’t entirely trust but the fact remains she has lost custody of all of her children, bar Harvey and has also mistreated animals. She is not capable of looking after anyone else because she is clearly mentally ill. I actually worry about Harvey being in her care too. I wonder how much she sees her children now. Very sad all round.

Peter not saying anything before now is less about protecting the children and more about the fact that sharing the facts of the order would be contempt of court...

What is this? I have seen this exact comments on other threads too ?

I think she has a lot of trauma from her childhood. Sexual assault, bullying and then thrust into the toxic 2000’s limelight.

The “glamour” modelling distorted her self worth and self image. Dwight York then left her to care for a disabled child on her own. (Obviously she had help from family and staff). Then a string of toxic relationships.

I’ve no doubt Peter and Kieran are good dads to their kids. But they aren’t nice men.

I don’t think Katie is a bad mum. But she hasn’t made the best choices, or put her kids well-being at the forefront of her mind.

How’s abused KP on camera multiple times
the segway shop
nasty out downs galore
about her looks, her body he got any with Emily when just because she had already been to Kenya
told Emily whatever you do in life I’ve already done it

he’s really messed KP up
but I’m glad her, his behaviour well abuse is on film

Also to add to this iv just finished watching the Shannon matthews documentary so my bar of what I class as a good mum right now is very very low

I think PA is ok. KP has a personality disorder and living with her must have become very difficult. What they show on reality TV is highly edited and a few snippets of their life doesn't paint the whole picture. I watched pretty much all of it and never saw anything from PA that painted him as a horrible person, he put up with a lot I imagine before the relationship finally broke down.

I just can not shake the feeling that Peter Andre is not a nice person.
I have felt it for a while

And? Plenty of people who have custody of kids are pricks. He may not be a bowl of sweets but would you prefer the courts gave custody to a bad mother because someone on MN didn’t like the father when he was on the telly?

I like both for very different reasons, I’ve watched them from the beginning and the way they both spoke to each other it’s a a miracle the marriage lasted as long as it did. I do believe she cheated on him with Alex Reid, and tbf since they’ve split he hasn’t said anything which I’m sure is to protect his kids, she’s often said things about him. I do think she’s not had it easy with most of the men she’s dated. Whether it’s her or them, but Kieran sleeping with her best friend in her house, in general must have been a mind fuck. He tried blaming her for it. She loves her kids, no doubt about it, there was obviously a reason Pete got full custody, we will probably never find out why. Maybe his timing was shoddy, but after everything that was said about princesses documentary and I’m sure the backlash he received is immense with him being in it, she must have consented to have the photos in it, I just feel if she’d featured it would have been all about her, how she looks, her behaviour where as even though Pete and Emily were featured it didn’t cast a shadow over princess.

in response to a previous poster saying he didn’t care about Harvey. He really did. I remember back in Covid times, Pete had a YouTube diary and junior and princess were attending Harvey’s birthday and Pete had sent over something frog related for him. And asked junior when he got back if he liked it. You could tell when they were together how much he cared for him. Not much he could do when they split as he had no parental rights to him.

An acquaintance of mine worked on Peter and Katie’s show back in the day and said Peter appeared to be lovely to everyone but was a complete bastard to Katie, especially when he thought no one could hear. She always felt sorry for Katie after she saw him being an arse to her, even though she hadn’t found her that friendly.

I think Peter Andre was just one in a long line of men that abused Katie Price. Despite her loud, confident persona, she seems to be quite vulnerable. Someone told my acquaintance Peter Andre had dated other either younger and vulnerable women before Katie, so I found it interesting that he eventually settled down with someone much younger. I don’t think he’s a good man.

I watched Princess’ show on ITV and her and her brother seem very sweet and obviously very close due in part to a shared troubled childhood. I hope they do well, as well as the other kids.

This makes no sense

I didn’t realise she had also lost custody of the younger children. That’s sad.

Peter Andre is clearly controlling and coercive/ emotionally abusive - that much has been filmed many times. While I'm sure he's provided a safe & stable home, I think he's very manipulative. There was an interview with princess in the guardian today and her manager very deliberately stirred against Katie price. Whether it's true or not doesn't matter, a child / young woman shouldn't be manipulated like that, it was sickening.

Why do people keep making threads about these people no one cares about?

Peter Andre legally couldn’t disclose the details of the court ordered custody arrangement until both kids turned 18 and the order expired. He’s trying to spin it so that it sounds as though he kept quiet to protect the kids but that’s not true - he disclosed it at the first chance he had.

He’s a manipulative narcissist. I’m not a KP fan but she’s the victim as far as he’s concerned. The whole way Emily has now had another baby just as the first two were old enough for her to have a bit more independence and develop her career just smacks of coercive control too - he wants her at home with a baby so that he can maintain his hold on her.

Having watched Princess’ show, it’s obvious she tried desperately to defend her mum as much as what was allowed. She’s still very young and she must feel very torn between her parents and making a career for herself.

I felt really sorry for her when she said that she couldn’t talk to her dad years ago about the issues her mum was having, because her mum and dad didn’t get on. A good dad would put his feelings about his children’s mum aside and let his children know that they can talk to him about anything, even his ex that he doesn’t get along with. When she said that she just got in bed and cried instead, I found it heartbreaking to think of an 11 year old doing that because she couldn’t talk to her dad. He really let her down and then acts like he’s a great parent. Maybe he has given them more stability than their mum could, but it didn’t show him in a good light. I think both Peter and Katie have been bad parents in different ways and I just feel really sorry for all the children caught up in it.

I suggest people do a little more research on Katie Price before spouting any more nonsense about her being a good mother.
She’s an appalling piece of work who deserves to be completely cancelled by all media outlets.
I’m curious as to why the OP saw fit to start this thread slagging off Peter Andre when it’s clear they’re aware of other threads running.
Smacks to me of flying monkeys sent by Price’s camp.

Peter is a horrible man. He knew his current wife Emily since she was a child and then started dating her when she was 18. She was groomed by him.

I watched that too, I remember it well. The relief when Shannon was found and then the shocking truth about what her mum had put the poor child through. I hope that Shannon and her siblings are leading happy and fulfilled lives and have had the care and support to help them deal with the things they went through

That is just plain wrong. Get your facts right before you post such nonsense online.

I think that too. I feel for her but she is her own worst enemy.

Peter is OK.

Yeah. I remember that.

I don’t give a toot for Peter Andre but I think KP is not merely screwed up but actively nasty.

I think he’s a knob for doing this now. Princess’s show has just aired and has now been totally overshadowed by all this nonsense. He’s no better than Katie, he just had better advice from his PR team.

I am physically repulsed by him and I'm not a pro Katie person, but there's something about him that turns my stomach.
