Katie price - what’s going on ?

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 ?

I do feel for her. She is attacked a lot and yes she has made some bad choices but people need to remember she is a survivor of SA, a survivor of an emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissist, shoved into the world of glamour modelling at a very young age , publicly cheated on and became a mother to a child with complex needs and was abandoned by his father , she hasn’t exactly had an easy life

Which relationship was with the narcissist? I wasn’t of that one

What would be the motivation for a man to marry this woman? She’s hardly able to be a life partner to anyone; she’s clearly ill and very unstable.

She’s been bought; probably by yet another abuser.

Imagine just regaining custody of your kids, who are likely destabilised and traumatised and bringing yet another man into their lives.

She needs help- not just her weight. She’s covered in scar tissue from all her surgeries and her lips are constantly covered in sores. She’s also balding.. yet continues to have procedures every week

All of the issues are her own doing. Lots of people have hard lives but they don’t abuse their animals and neglect their children

I can’t believe for a second she’s regained custody of her children. SS aren’t that stupid.

3luckystars · 25/01/2026 05:10

All those general anaesthetics must be really bad, I’d be worried about that aspect of the amount of surgery but the rest of it, I don’t judge anyone or don’t believe a lot of this type of news. She is extremely thin looking though. I hope she will be alright. I’m going to stop looking now though.

I feel desperately sorry for her, much as I deplore her choices. I’m going to make myself unpopular here, but I see her trajectory as absolutely emblematic of the kind of “feminism” that flourished in the 90s when women got complacent ; sex work is fine and dandy, porn is empowering, cosmetic surgery is a positive choice, oversexualisation and being objectified is “girl power”. She’s been chewed up and spat out by that culture and her mental and physical health are shredded beyond repair. I hope her daughters fare better.

to me, that wasnt feminism. It was patriarchy. it was misogyny cuckoo nesting

It’ll be a fake engagement. KP only ever does this kind of thing to keep herself relevant in the public eye.

@Pancakeflippertotally agree. She's a lost cause and to the PP who said she's skint - she's not - she's making a fortune on Only Fans. Sadly for her children, I think she will see an early grave.

She is skint as in she's a double bankrupt and she has to pay 40% of her income from all streams including OF to the bankruptcy court. She doesn't make much money on OF, tattle had the receipts. She did allegedly make some money exchanging sex for money in the Middle East which I assume is where this Dubai businessman fiancé has come from. She's skint because she lives in an expensive rental house and lost all the money she made in the 90s and 00s. It might not be most people's definition of skint but by celebrity standards she absolutely is.

LucyLoo1972 · 24/01/2026 23:14

how is she penniless?

Double bankrupt, owes hundreds of thousands, lost her house, has 40% of her income garnished at source!

There was a repeat last night on c5 of a documentary about this .

As of 2024 she owed £3.6m and has been made bankrupt twice. Mainly due to unpaid legal bills mounting up from her custody battles with Peter André and also alimony payments to cross dressing cage fighter Alex Reid

The money she owed Alex Reid isn't unpaid alimony it's money she owes in damages after she was found guilty of revenge porn by sharing intimate photos of him without his consent. She refused to pay the compensation and that was included in her debts.
She's bankrupt because she didn't pay hundreds of thousands of tax and also didn't pay innumerable other bills and debts.

How do you tell it’s AI?
At least she is too old to get pregnant now. Unless is a miracle.
If she was a regular person the children would be on SW radar. I feel sad for her children.

You think they aren't?!

Novisits · 25/01/2026 06:14

I saw they had each others names and the date they became a couple tattooed on their hands, they're fast movers!

MyNoisyShark · 25/01/2026 00:28

No I think that's made up but I wouldn't know lol

But seriously if you can't pass all your gcses at private school what the hell

To br fair to the kids they’ve been abused throughout their childhoods which is going to have a massive impact on them.

ShawnaMacallister · 25/01/2026 06:14

DurinsBane · 25/01/2026 03:44

why wouldn’t they be with their dad?

He's on bail for raping a child

Princess was 11 or 12 when she was removed by the court from her mum and placed with her dad full time. GCSEs came 4 years later- if she wasn't in a good place to engage with her education and get good grades it wouldn't be a surprise. She was neglected before she was removed. Neglect profoundly impacts children and usually includes poor school attendance too.

Ah ok, didn’t realise that.
Though being on bail doesn’t mean his kids would be automatically removed from his care

Lairymary · 25/01/2026 06:43

It's clearly a publicity stunt for both of them, everything she does is to get attention and attention (good or bad) pays. What I can't work out is what his motive is and what he is getting out of it. He already appears to be a successful businessman, so shouldn't need the extra money from publicity (or does he?). Surely being linked to such a car crash of a woman would just make him a laughing stock. Yeah in the engagement photos they both look very happy and instagrammable, however in real life she's a botched, ageing patchwork with obvious physical and mental health problems. Surely if he's looking for love and a genuine marriage, there are a million other people out there that would be a more suitable "catch". I'm waiting for the pre-wedding magazine deals with them putting on a show for them to milk the cash cow, then the inevitable amicable break up before it even gets to the pre nup..... I can imagine a wannabe like JJ going along with her shit but this guy?! Something doesn't add up for it to be real. Also, I hate how invested i am in this, it's just mind boggling!

The guy - he's some sort of businessman influencer in Dubai? I read he's lived there for 21 years. How is that going to work out with her kids? With all of the Social Services involvement she's had I doubt if she can just move abroad with the younger 2 - especially with what (appears at least) to be a very new relationship.

... and what happens to Harvey? Isn't he in an Adult Social Care placement?

Edited

I think you might be jumping ahead of yourself, believing that this is all real. Ain't no way she's moving anywhere full time for a fake relationship. But tbh, I wouldn't put it past her to abandon all of her children and animals to milk that cow.

Newsenmum · 25/01/2026 06:54

She’s been unwell for a long time. It’s very sad I wish there was someone to looks out for her.

What he’s getting out of it is fame now people have heard of him when they hadn’t before. I listen to her podcast with her sister she has health issues going on is having tests for weight loss apparently. She has been diagnosed with ADHD (I think or similar) so explains her erratic behaviour as due to that. How much of this is true I don’t know we only have her word. The behaviour with her animals kids etc is appalling in my eyes but we don’t know what is true and what’s not she says the media make a lot of lies about her. What I don’t understand is how her family don’t do an intervention? Her sis says herself she’s worried about her. Can’t wait to listen to her latest podcast regarding this ‘engagement’! The woman is a walking car crash but knows how to play the
media (her words)

He's undergoing investigtions as a schedule 1 offender

Katie Price is a dreadful role model to young woman.

LaurieFairyCake · 25/01/2026 07:14

Whenever I see a photo of her I just think she looks very very unwell, mentally and physically.

Bottomofthedeepbluesea · 25/01/2026 07:16

Why are her family not stepping in?

Aaahhh. I fucking hate this question. What do you expect them to do? You can’t just bundle up a full grown adult and shove them in a room until they conform. I would imagine her loved ones have done everything in their power but there’s only so much power you can have over someone else (without also being abusive yourself.)

I have just seen the latest photos. My goodness she looks so ill. Her knees, which aren’t swollen, are larger than her thighs.
