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

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 have an autistic, pre-verbal DC, and there are no words to describe how deeply inappropriate this situation is, and yet it was his own mother who put him there!

KP is an awful, terrible mother for putting Harvey in a nightclub for pictures to be taken with him. From what we have seen and know of his condition he would not have the capacity to consent to any of this. Unfortunately with not having his Dad in his life, there’s no-one to protect him from his mum.

I’m pretty sure I read years ago that PA wanted to adopt Harvey, but Dwight Yorke refused, despite not wanting to be any part of his life. PA could have got custody of Harvey as well if he’d have been able to adopt him, and shield him from his car crash of a mum.

I used to watch the show back in the day and yes Pete was horrible to Katie. I don’t think they’d even get away with showing that these days in the name of entertainment.

But neither of them have painted themselves in glory. I watched Princess’s show the other day and felt sorry for her and Junior, in the middle of waring parents their whole life. Pete comes across as a good dad, but there’s something about him I just don’t like. Probably stems back from how horrible he was to Katie back in the day.

Katie herself also has not covered herself in glory. Junior and Princess may be adults now, but Pete needs to keep his ‘dignified silence’. This is Princess’s time now to shine, and yet all this has surrounded the launch of her show. Hope Pete has plenty of money left to pay for their therapy.

What did he do that was do awful? In what way did he treat her badly?

Shr is selling Harvey online at present. £36 for a private message on Cameo.

I think Harvey is very clearly loved.

You need to read the other thread about this to see what she's doing with Harvey

The way he spoke to her, gas lighting her. He was really vile to her. She wasn’t great to him either, but he was far worse, name calling, complaining about lack of sex, comments about her previous page 3 work etc. It was awful then, it would be shocking now. Hope his daughter’s never watch it. It certainly wasn’t in keeping with the wholesome family image he likes to portray now.

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

Unpopular opinion there are many couples who have "banter" sort of "poke fun" relationships with eachother that definitely aren't abusive. I know many myself. It's easy to see a 30 second clip on tiktok then the armchair psychologists start throwing out the term narcissist and abuse.

Truetoself · 18/08/2025 05:48

How was Peter Andre not nice to Katie Price in their original show?

Graphinette · 18/08/2025 05:50

ColinOfficeTrolley · 17/08/2025 23:38

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

This. I think they are almost as bad as each other and the courts put the kids with the least bad.

I wish PA and KP would be cancelled by all outlets and let the kids have their moment as far as is possible. They seem incredibly well balanced given their lives to date and they should be allowed to shine now.

alderleywedge · 18/08/2025 06:02

The important thing is that the children are safe, secure and happy rather than who we suspect or have a feeling is trying to look better. I think it's fairly obvious Katie is not the parent that can best provide the above, regardless of how we feel about Peter.

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.

The significant age gap can be troubling especially under the age of 25.

This myth that the human brain doesn't develop till 25 needs to die. You are only saying it because so many other people are saying it. It's like in the space of 5 years we've gone from 18s and adult to 21 now 25.
Also yes age gaps can be troubling but not all of them are. They seem happy enough from the little I've seen of them.

Katie is a deeply traumatised woman who probably has significant mental health issues. It is absolutely not surprising Peter has their children or that their relationship failed. I imagine he has said very little to protect their children.

This!!!!

Katie was sexually abused as a child, and at 16 doing page 3. Her development is stunted due to trauma, she's a victim of rape. All men have done is use and abuse her. Deep down she's just looking for acceptance, peace and love.

Andre was nothing but a one hit wonder when he met her. Watch old snippets of their reality TV show on YouTube or tiktok. He was vile to her

Purpleturtle45 · 18/08/2025 06:27

I agree, I'm not sure about him. I think his and Emily look quite ridiculous together, he definitely looks more like her Dad than her husband. I think he comes across like he thinks he is superior and also manipulative. But nobody really knows what goes on behind closed doors.

@youalright
4 of her 5 children are with their other parent. How can you call her a good parent? She is very damaged.

Her fans are insane, and also cannot admit they have been duped.

I think this comment shows the average IQ of a Katie Price fan quite well.

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.

Edited

This. Clearly evidenced by link up thread to the nightclub paid attendance by Harvey.
Dreadful.

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.

Rubbish. There is no excuse for his behaviour in the clips circulating on TikTok. There is nothing she could have done that could justify that treatment.

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

Stolen? By social services? Who took them out of a dangerous, drug fuelled environment?
Wow.

MC846 · 18/08/2025 07:17

It's interesting how many people seem to think that KP is a good mum to Harvey as she kept custody of him where she lost it with the other kids. She had no choice with Harvey, his dad wasn't willing to step up and remove him like the others. I feel very sorry for Harvey.

Katie Price has behaved terribly but Peter Andre is no saint. His brief moment of fame was ending when he met her. Without his involvement with her we would not be discussing him here. I don't see how his behaviour in this clip can be justified. All the 'I'm such a wonderful parent' stuff from him over the years - that was all he had to promote. He has always oozed insincerity.

I never watched these programmes - so I may have missed many examples of her being awful to him - but another clip where he comes across terribly.

I think there’s a lot you don’t know about KP. I feel sorry for all her children, especially Harvey.

Yep. She drags that poor lad out to use as a bloody shield every time she’s in hot water. It’s gross.
A couple of years ago I had GMB (I think) on. They had a zoom interview with KP, who was fresh off the back off one of her criminal charges and was on to discuss that. When she appeared on screen she had Harvey sitting next to her, for no apparent reason and proceeded to use him to get laughs then keep answering every question about the events of her arrest/problems by blathering something about trauma and then not wanting to speak in front of Harvey. So in short she wanted to get paid for an interview and used her disabled child to defend herself.

Many of us have shit parents but most of us don’t have our entire lives (from birth) played out for the world to see to the benefit of said parents bank account.

I doubt PA is a lovely sweet man. He seems like a bit of a twat to me, but he’s at least giving those children a protective space to grow. He’s not responsible for everything bad in KP’s life, but it’s easier for her and others to blame him for it all. And as for his relationship with his wife, whatever.

LazySunbedDays · 18/08/2025 07:34

Why are all the Peter Andre bashing threads appearing?
KP lost custody of all her children (except Harvey because his dad ran away to the other side of the world)
she has a questionable animal keeping record
drink/drug driving
lived in a filthy house
bankruptcy but a failure to acknowledge she needs to actually do something about it
she has a desperate need to be ‘seen’

I Don’t think the above can be blamed on PA, probably need to look much closer to home and those that have lived/continue to live on her coat tails. Her family should’ve stepped and actually helped her years ago.
