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've never followed either of them, but I do remember channel hopping onto their show many years ago and I was really unsettled with how he was treating her. Obviously, it was only a brief snapshot, but I remember her trying to run away from him and the cameras, and him following her and telling the cameras to come, and mocking her. He was telling the cameras to film her as she was trying to hide, and to film the room as it was really messy, and he was laughing and telling the cameras how dirty and disgusting she was. I remember being really shocked, but didn't notice anyone else mention it. Presumably, it made sense in the context of the episode and so looked different if you knew what had come before, but in isolation it looked extremely abusive. He's always given me the creeps, I did watch them in the jungle and really couldn't understand why she was interested in him. But I think she clearly has some serious issues.

(But she abuses animals, so fuck her tbh.)

From the little I know of them:

It sounds like Peter Andre has kept a dignified silence about matters concerning his children until recently. Though it probably wasn’t a surprise to people, and was subject of much speculation, that all her children were not allowed to live with her.

I thought that Harvey lived in residential care the majority of the time? I’m not sure her business acumen is great given the number of bankruptcies.

Though I am sorry for her in a way. She’s obviously had addiction issues and some sort of body dysmorphia judging by the number of surgeries she’s obviously had, and her extreme appearance.

He gives me the creeps . There’s something sly about him . I think Katie has been treat terrible by her previous partners and I’d love to see her find a great man that she so deserves . She’s made some bad choices in her life but she’s a good women just doing her best . KP hang in there sweetheart.

I feel exactly the same way about Alex Reid. I can't even look at him.

It also sounds like he gave the children (interview in the Guardian today with Princess where she describes being scared in the mansion with her mother) a stable family life.

I don't know (or care) what he's like as a person. They could both be as bad as each other for all anyone knows.

That 4 out of 5 of her kids live with their male parental units and the fact she has proven herself to be the Harold Shipman of pet ownership is a rather large sized hint that she is seriously lacking in those departments.

I don’t think many would say she’s great, just that Peter Andre and the other men she has been with aren’t nice men. Being able to provide a more stable home for children in comparison to Katie Price is a low bar and doesn’t mean these men are good people. Of course men who are bringing up children without mum in the picture don’t have to be that good, the bar isn’t that high for them.

I think I've already agreed that he may be a terrible person?

Not sure why you're quoting me.

Had no opinion on this until recently when my social media started showing me clips of them both.

One video of Peter and Emily really stood out to me. They were on a date fairly on in their relationship and he tells her he's booked a surprise safari in Kenya. She dare says she's been before because she LIVED THERE as a child, and Peter is seething. You see Emily try her hardest to placate him and stop it escalating. Think she was 21 or so at the time.

It's made me think that he and Emily are working, not because he's not bad news, but because she's very patient and perhaps slightly intimidated by him.

Tried to find the video on YouTube but no luck. It's doing the rounds on tiktok.

Well other than the many dead animals she's left behind. Strange definition of good there, pet.

I reckon he’s a narc but she’s a bigger and more dangerous narc.

She made her own choices, including in the men that she inflicted on her children (poor, poor Harvey), and she bears the consequences.

She’s been split from PA for at least 15 years. Been through plenty of men since then. Why is he to blame for her choices and why bitch about his wife, who I’m sure is intelligent enough to make her own choices too.

Emily’s father is a doctor as is she, so you would assume she’s got intelligent people around her, including family so I think she is equipped to make her own choices.

PA on the other hand does not strike me as particularly intelligent but they look happy enough in the admittedly little I’ve seen of them and obviously KP’s two children have benefitted from their family life with them.

I don’t like the woman. Most of her children don’t live with her and all except Harvey live with their fathers, animals continually dying in her care, the cycle of alcohol and drug use, continually being let off with debts she owes etc. Her constant need for attention especially over her daughter’s new series whining about not being involved. I read somewhere today she’s doing a “tell all” tv show about all her ex partners, I don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth tbh. You’d have thought she’d have sorted herself out after all these years but her life is a car crash and she continues to thrive off public attention, whether positive or negative. She needs to have a long hard look at herself and get the help she needs whatever that is, not every ex partner of hers can be wrong and there’s a pattern here, she’s the issue. I feel sorry for her children watching their mother play out her life in public.

So the insinuation here is that intelligent people, and/or those with intelligent families, cannot find themselves in abusive relationships? This will have to go down as one of the most bizarre opinions I've encountered on this site.

Let's also not forget that Emily was a teenager when she met Peter.

I’m fascinated as to why anyone can claim to
like her given the animal abuse? Pretty sure if it was anyone else there would be NOBODY claiming to like her.

I also think this

Doesn’t a grandmother have custody of the younger two children?

Uhh so don't read, or comment. Simples 😊

Peters treatment of Katie during their show was horrible & feel like the camera men played into it & purposely didn't cut alot of it including that random women trying to sneak past in the shot of him finding out Katie was in hospital for longer then expected

I don’t like or deslike PA but I don’t see what you claim , I think he realised what a car crash she was and did the best for his kids . It’s obvious she has no capacity to look after them , I pity all the kids , specially Harvey who doesn’t have anyone to stand by him . She is a narcissist and an awful person .

No the insinuation is that she wasn’t a young uneducated girl with no one to advise her hence being groomed by an older man into an abusive relationship.

You even insinuating she is in an abusive relationship is bizarre especially on a topic that isn’t about her.

I think she has thrown herself under the bus repeatedly. The disgusting home, the dead pets, losing custody of her kids, posting Harvey all over her socials allowing him to become a meme, the drugs and alcohol, the multiple bankruptcies, the drink driving, the surgeries.

My knowledge of her is just from headlines when she has made the news, I've never watched any of her shows, all of the above she did to herself, she didn't need anyone to throw her anywhere for her reputation to be awful.

I’ve always thought he was horrible. The nice guy act never washed with me. He used Katie for money and fake like the rest do. Then he dumped her.

From what little I saw of Katie's parenting on her tv series with Harvey, I thought she seemed an excellent mum. She clearly loves Harvey very much and looks after him extremely well, given his quite complex needs.

I dont know enough about her apart from that (and the obvious mental health problems shd must have given her numerous surgeries and debts etc), but i agree with PPs about Peter Andre.

He's always come across as slightly seedy for some reason, a bit greasy looking. I've always thought he was a little full of himself too.

I never understand why any mention of KP seems to come with the caveat “she’s a good mum, though”. I I genuinely have never seen that evil bitch be a good mum? She’s an abuser, her kids have been dragged through hell because of her disastrous choices, and Harvey has always been exploited (to make her seem a good mum) and for years has been in residential care. I don’t blame her for him being in a care home at all, but the whole ‘she’s a good mum’ spiel seems to be entirely on the back of not discarding her disabled child and bringing him up alone. She’s killed all her animals, been done multiple times for drink/drug driving, and has treated all of her children about as well as her pets. That show of Princess’s to me is more like a harrowing documentary than some silly reality show. Poor girl! I took from the guardian article that she loves her mum, obviously, but she has to let her disgusting behaviour go to keep the peace.

I can’t stand PA in terms of his persona etc. but he’s not a child or animal abuser or druggie. Hopefully.
