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

Anyone that gets in a car and drink drives repeatedly is NOT a good parent. never mind her potentially having fun down one of her own children, she could have killed a relative of yours or one of their children.

She clearly has MH issues and major trauma but she is a 47 year old women with the access and resources to take responsibility to sort her crap out.

PA - the jury is vey much out for me and I don’t trust him but I think he wins hands-down for being a better role model and stable parent

And her still trying for another baby is attention seeking in its scariest and highest form. She is not a good parent and I hope she doesn’t have any more children

Tbh I’m only surprised that PA getting custody didn’t happen sooner. I really wish PA wouldn’t push his kids into the spotlight, I suppose as the review says it’s inevitable. It’ll be very interesting to see what his kids with Emily end up doing in comparison.

She was a young girl.

Education is neither here nor there when it comes to grooming.

Family very often don't see the true nature of a loved one's partner.

I find it very interesting that the fact she and her father are doctors has lead you to believe that she couldn't possibly find herself in a relationship with a man who is controlling at best, and abusive at worst. Again, bizarre.

The thread is specifically about who might've been the problem in KP's and PA's marriage; therefore subsequent partners are absolutely relevant. Many posters have brought up subsequent partners of both of them.

She is very problematic and also damaged as a person but it seems to me that there is a whole lot of misogyny in the way she is treated by the media and by the people who helped create her persona. It seems that the kids are better of with him but I don’t know him and the real truth probably lies somewhere in between.

I think he may hate KP more than he loves his DC.
Also, I sense his self-love is high and potentially his ego also puts his needs above his DC.
KP is completely messed up, but did her relationships contribute?

I can’t believe I just looked it up but according to Google they met when she 21-22, were friends then started a relationship when she was 23-24. There’s a 16 year age gap.

Maybe she likes older men? Intelligent women often do.

Hardly a young girl. Why you keep going about her being in an abusive relationship when you know nothing about her relationship IS bizarre.

You do know reality shows would be boring if they were actually reality, they have to ham it up and put in some drama, and it’s all scripted.

I also watched a few of KPs and PAs shows (shamefully) years ago and they both seemed as bad as each other even if it was just for a show.

He’s obviously settled down since and has been a secure parent to his kids, KP never did and wasn’t hence why she lost custody of 4 of them.

Being in a toxic relationship can also bring out the worst in both partners, and it looks like PA had a lucky escape.

Even with Harvey, KP has shown little sign of prioritising him above the money - https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/18421011/katie-price-son-harvey-halifax-nightclub/

I can’t stand Peter, he comes across as calculating. I remember watching the show, but there are now old clips of their first realty show they did when married which are circulating on TikTok — he was so nasty to Katie, always putting her down and belittling her, he also had really bad mood swings which he took out on her. There’s even a clip where his manager turns up at their house while Katy is in hospital, and he and Katie’s friend come downstairs in just towels. There’s also a clip where he mocks Harvey. Pete now knows how to manipulate the audience ,as I mentioned I find him calculating

That upset me at the time, especially as Harvey’s disabilities affect his emotional regulation and he can become distressed when overwhelmed as shown in other TV shows she’s put him in.

I can’t think of a more challenging environment to have put him in to make some money, having a DC with similar but less severe struggles myself.

Let’s hope the money went to him as she said.

This is made up nonsense. She was 20 when she met him and 22 when they started dating. Why tell lies?

KP is clearly dysfunctional and god knows what she must be like as a mother, but the sceptic in me thinks all these revelations and talk of feuds are coming out to raise Princesses profile now she’s becoming a thing.

Taking a leaf from the Beckhams books with the family dramas that keep people talking…

I would have severe mental health issues and make poor choices if my babies were stolen from me.

Stolen? Oh behave ffs.

I watched the shows back in the day, not just clips on TikTok. Those clips have been pieced together with no context. She was vile to him, always putting him down and slagging him off. Those clips have clearly skipped the parts where she was horrible to him and only shown the parts where he retaliated.

I also watched the show when it was aired, and these clips haven’t just been pieced together on TikTok, it’s all available to watch.

The significant age gap can be troubling especially under the age of 25. It means she was under his thumb while her brain and internal compass were still regulating and developing.

I despise PA. He had planned to leave KP and his manager was involved in making sure he was seen as the victim, cameras just happened to be there taking photos of him breaking down in tears. Lots of hints like "she knows what she has done, but I will never tell out of respect for my kids." Don't say anything then, instead of this manipulative bullshit. And the hideous magazine cover with him posing topless with his kids who were barely school aged with his quotes slagging off their Mum all over it.

KP was blindsided by him leaving and then responded in an emotional and unstable way added to by the management smear campaign. Same manager tried to do the same thing with Elen Rivas, got her into a showmance with PA and negative stories about her ex Frank Lampard started appearing in the media. That backfired though.

However, KP's own behaviour in the years since is indefensible. Driving offences, animal abuse/ neglect, chaotic home with revolving door of new step dads. She isn't a good or stable parent and there is a reason none of her children are in her care.

Emily is lovely in my opinion, no idea why she's with him. But she is definitely the driving force in making sure her kids are shielded online, Peter would have a film crew there in a heartbeat if they split.

I don’t care for him at all , always thought he was completely slimy & smarmy . KP on the other hand is obviously deeply troubled . I watched an interview with her ex Karl somebody ? He said that she cheated repeatedly on him . She is such a car crash , I’m surprised she hasn’t done serious prison time for her driving offences . I find it bizarre that she always insists that she has never had a one night stand but her string of exes say otherwise . I don’t like the way her story is continuing with extreme weight loss & unnecessary plastic surgery. I fear she is going to end up dead if she continues on this path .

I find it very strange that are so engrossed in a strangers marriage. Have such strong opinions when you don't know anything!

@Inquizitive according to us cout that didn't allow Stephen deurz texts after the plane fight where he said JD would be mad if he understood what he. Had done. UK court on different aspect flind him guilty.

Who has had babies stolen? Not KP. Hers were taken into the care of their father and their father's family. respectively. None of them were babies, and children are not removed from a mother without good cause.

Are you drunk?

KP is an appalling mother, not even close to being a “good” mother.

She has repeatedly exploited Harvey over the years to prop up her own PR, and to get sympathy for her “difficult life”.

The reality was that Harvey was left at home with a succession of different people while KP partied all over the world.

She acted the doting mother when needed for publicity. She never put the needs of Harvey first. She’s put him in situations that were deeply inappropriate for his disabilities and made him a target for online trolls. He was wheeled out like a puppet by the one person who should have been protecting him.

Also, if you have a child like Harvey you need to consider whether you have capacity for other children, or whether the disabilities are compatible with bringing more children into the home. KP didn’t give a fuck - she kept continuously popping out more babies without a thought about how she’d manage their needs as well as Harvey.

Children don’t easily get taken away from their mother - the court would have had very good reasons. We all know about Bunny doing a live on Christmas Day trying to eat dried noodles because she hadn’t eaten all day and her mother was passed out high/drunk. Fucking hell, it’s just heartbreaking what those kids experienced.

And all of that without taking into account the multiple times KP was vile about Emily, including when she was ordered by the court to stop. The multiple pets she’s killed. The drug/drunk driving offences.

Ypu don’t have to like PA to acknowledge that KP has been vile over the years and her poor kids have been through hell because she can’t even provide a decent level of basic parenting - such as feeding her kids.

If you’re defending her, you need to ask yourself why. Objectively she’s done multiple awful things - and shows no sign of changing. Why on earth would you defend someone like that?!!

Edited to add - I have a DS who is disabled with high needs and I have many, many friends who are also SEN parents. All are disgusted with her treatment of Harvey.

I don't have the energy to over-analyse the facts about either KP or PA, but one things for sure, those poor children will not come out of their childhood unscathed or unaffected by the disruption caused by the unfortunate, actually tragic, dysfunction of their early lives.

The only people I feel for are those children, the parents are utterly dreadful and yes I do judge them harshly for not being the role models their children need.

??? don’t understand this comment.
