Katie price - what’s going on ?

569 replies

error404notfound · 24/01/2026 21:59

Following Katie Price’s engagement posts. She’s just split from JJ slater - now she’s engaged to some Dubai businessmen. At first I thought the posts were AI , but upon further inspection ( see : time wasting ) he is a real person with a Facebook account that has been active for some time, as is his mothers it seems - so he is real.

But , surely this is some kind of publicity stunt ? I have always liked her but it just seems a bit ridiculous at 47 years of age if it is ?

That big fake diamond! 😆😆

Yeah she's not well. She keeps lying that she doesn't know why she's about five stone (minus the boobs), it's clearly because she's abusing backstreet GLP1s. And possibly back on the sniff.

I don't think things will end well for her if she tries to make it in Dubai.

I think she's been on the sniff for years, hence the bankruptcy and why her life has unravelled.

The fact that it’s all a load of absolute bollocks. Unless you think it’s normal that someone splits up with their partner then a week later is engaged to someone else?

In her life it's quiet normal.

KP is now describing this new fella as “her real life Richard Gere”. If she’s referring to the film Pretty Woman then we can assume that he is a client who has paid for her services.

Exactly. It’s all bollocks.

At the very least a heart attack waiting to happen plus all the other things she's done to herself.

Charlize43 · 25/01/2026 13:26

More dodgy stuff concerning her new guy.

Yeah you're not wrong. So that alone can't be the reason why she looks like a skeleton with two balloons selotaped to the front.

PolkaDotPorridge · 25/01/2026 13:30

I just think of all the animals she’s neglected and killed. My sympathy is with them, not that utter twat.

She spells it 'Gear'. Freudian slip or illiteracy?

Her elder two kids are old enough to have seen those pictures online. And, judging by the amount of unsupervised time on TikTok etc the youngest daughter used to have, I wouldn't be surprised if she had seen them too.

Shadesofscarlett · 25/01/2026 14:30

maybe her new fiance is an AI fake completely - or her poop pimp. grim whatever is going on.

Fizbosshoes · 25/01/2026 14:36

I have found her pretty unlikeable, for years but I think she has had psychological.issues for a long time.
She was on tv probably 10 years ago saying she was about to adopt a baby from Nigeria, and train as a paramedic. Obviously both complete bs which makes me dubious about just about anything else she comes out with.
I heard her on a podcast with Grace Dent, and she was talking about having kids and she said she loved having lots of kids because she loved chaos (nothing about them as individuals, being maternal, nurturing etc....it just struck me as quite a strange thing to say)

I feel sorry for her as she is clearly seriously physically and mentally unwell, but way more sympathy for her children.
And ive no idea how she's managed to get away with so many driving offences. She must have a reasonable income to pay a pretty hefty lawyers fee each time, to get her off the hook

The latest "fiance" pics look very weird, it wouldn't surprise me if it was AI.

I agree with this. On one level I do feel sorry for her, I think she was exploited when she was very young, and turned that trauma into the 'Jordan' persona. With all that said, though, she has had heaps and heaps of chances to turn her life around. There are other people who have had worse starts to life than she has who have made good, or at least not made as much of a mess as she has. And it is no point blaming the awful men she chooses, either. Yes, they are terrible (Jett and Bunny's dad being a paedophile is shocking) and that's on them, but they aren't the reason for her behaviour, either. She is an addict: addicted to attention, to body modifications, to crazy relationships, and to drugs. I feel awful for the children and animals in her 'care'.

Sumpling · 25/01/2026 14:52

Lots of posts here arguing with each other -

Either: She's a victim of early abuse, exploitation, mental illness. Poor Katie

Or: She's a perpetrator of animal abuse, child neglect, attention seeking, drug abuse. Evil Katie

But to me it looks like ALL these things are true. Not an either/or.

Ooh, good spot.
So client, dealer, pimp? Or all 3?

She is though. You can read all about her finances online if you wish.
She's double bankrupt. Had her house repossessed. Owes hundreds of thousands and has her income garnished by the court from all main sources including OF. She spends a lot of course and she has money coming in but most of what she 'earns' is quid pro quo- those holidays and surgery trips are all payment in lieu of fees for advertising. She's not earning big bucks and having lovely holidays on her wages, she's being paid, always, all the time. She does nothing for free. She's always scrabbling to make the rent and pay her employees - she spends around £12k a month on fixed expenses. Her OF is not popular - she's not making a lot of money on there. There's a reason she's started travelling to Dubai in the past couple of years. Her appeal as a mainstream sex object has completely disappeared. She's having to do more extreme and dangerous things to make the big money.

£12,000 on "fixed" expenses means at least £144,000 a year in non-discretionary spending which is a lot when we all know she doesn't pay her tax

Samanthajane5 · 25/01/2026 15:04

I feel sorry for her. She acts like someone who has been badly abused as a child

BillyBites · 25/01/2026 15:13

Unfortunately, Katie has lied so much over the years and told so many conflicting versions of her life history that it is impossible to know what may or may not be true.

It's all fake. This hand tattoos are not on her hands in recent Instagram posts. A fresh tattoo wouldn't look like that. She's probably on the phone now trying to sell her story to the paps. It's all done for ££££.

I have a couple of times. It's not great is it. Her SPAG isn't fantastic on her limited vocabulary tweets/posts either. Like no punctuation and at least half the four or five letter words spelt wrong.

But her phone autocorrected it to 'gear' even if she has an Oxford PhD. 😂
