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 ?

My feelings are for her kids. Imagine growing up with this train wreck of a mother. She's clearly got MH and addiction issues, and it bewilders me that two young children were removed from their grandmother's care (according to Tattle) and given back to KP and she's continually exploiting Harvey. She's killed countless animals, and appears to have no regard for anyone's welfare other than her own. She's a vile specimen of human being.

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 25/01/2026 07:42

She's a car crash happening in front of our eyes. The media are feeding her obsession but will take no responsibility if it all goes wrong. Which it inevitably will.

Anyone who performs plastic surgery on her should be struck off, how any doctor with an ounce of credibility thinks what she gets done is normal or healthy is beyond me.

Her family live off her status and 'money', her mother has been dying for years now.

If the rumours are true about what she does in Dubai then that is grim and desperate.

I only hope the 2 younger children have been shielded from all the crap (pun intended) that this woman's life is.

KP is very unwell mentally and has been for some time. Its sad to see. Shes addicted to any attention, good or bad. Her physical appearance is cause for concern, I just dont understand why nobody is helping her. Sadly its not going to end well for her.

Grapewrath · 25/01/2026 07:55

Bunny and jet were with Kieran’s Mum as they were removed due to neglect. KP has made a lot of hints about them living with her again but it’s very possibly all BS
She is broke- she hasn’t got any dependants in her care (or didn’t have) so they will be pretty strict in what money they allow her to keep
This engagement is a publicity stunt for both of them. The wedding won’t happen as snd won’t get the OK payday like she once did. She’s a has been in respect of her career.
She means about the media then just does things for publicity- like yet another surgery or puppy.

ShiftySquirrel · 25/01/2026 08:00

It is not fair to discuss Princess and Junior's exam results.

All of the children have had a traumatic upbringing. Acrimonious marital splits, neglect, mum's string of boyfriends, her job, court appearances and lifestyle, being sent to live with other relations. The publicity around all of that then means everyone knows. They really have had a tough time.

Isn't Dubai famously intolerant of drugs?

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

They weren't in his care. They were removed from both parents and living elsewhere. I don't know who they live with now.

Errrrrrrrrr they are in Syria lady.

Princess (what a dumb name) opened hers live.

Myleen class little one got a scholarship by the way. Her mums suffered tragedy but actually parents. .

They clearly spent money on a private school for privacy and also education, you would have to be seriously lazy to get rubbish gcse

Do posters think she’s not responsible for her own behaviour?

I think posters feel that she is extremely unwell. And vulnerable. The court has decided that she needs an appropriate adult to support with her financial affairs. That means that the court deems that she can not be entirely responsible for her actions.

No they haven't?
she turned up at court with an ex social worker who was on her payroll and insisted she needed her support because of her mental health and the court allowed it for one hearing. She doesn't have anyone court appointed to manage her finances or intervene on her behalf at court.

I’ve always thought she was autistic/ADHD or both.

She almost certainly would be diagnosed as having a Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Vera87 · 25/01/2026 08:18

I feel for all her kids but Jett and bunny especially with what’s going on with their dad too. They don’t have stable parental figures

BooksandCats123 · 25/01/2026 08:21

She needs to sort her priorities out. She has 10 and 11 year old children who are not in her custody and who’s dad is set to stand trial for rape and she’s pissing about getting bigger tits and engaged again.

You'd think. But then again all the dodgy stuff that goes on over there.

Her other husband was also wanking on that OnlyFannies site too. The one who's up for raping a child.

Just my theory, but I still think these men probably have drug habits they need to feed, have resorted to sex work and seeing the opportunity to join the KP in her media circus as an easy way to get drugs / earn money from the media to spend on drugs. It seems they also aren't making the best choices.

Drugs is the easiest way to explain her erratic behaviour, constant lack of money, poor life choices, bad judgement, the fact that she doesn't care how ridiculous she appears, her unhealthy appearance, all the crazy publicity stunts, etc. The constant supply of partners.

Anyone can call themselves a 'Dubai businessman' - whatever that is. Someone who cleans up Dubai poop at Potty parties can call themselves a Dubai businessman... I wonder how long before the videos appear of this one wanking on OF?

Applesonthelawn · 25/01/2026 08:31

The main source of KP's troubles is that she will not listen to anyone, ever. So there is no buffer between her own stupidity and the sexualised world she came of age in. Just the ability to take on other people's opinions would have saved her from herself. People have tried to help her time and time again but she can't be helped because she can't listen to anyone. Eventually you have to find something or someone more worthwhile to feel sorry for.

error404notfound · 24/01/2026 22:22

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

She’s clearly not a survivor of any of those things, she’s a walking advert of the damage done and her abject failure to recover from any of it. She’s a disaster area.

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

Right but she her lifestyle doesn't seem to be suffering does it?

ilovemysofa · 25/01/2026 08:37

KP is a narcissist. I used to go to school with her and it was evident even then.

I dont deny she has had bad things happen to her (as many of us have) but we haven't abused animals or neglected our children to the point they have been removed by social services. There is no excuses for those things or other things like driving around drunk and coked out of your mind. She doesn't care.

baytreelane23 · 25/01/2026 08:38

She’s not allowed to post Jet and bunny anymore as per conditions for regaining custody.

On one of Harvey’s videos a couple of days ago he was sad and she said I had to go and get Je.. j.. the children! She’s not even saying their names anymore. I had noticed this at Christmas too when they were talking about what Harvey had bought for the other family members.

I honestly think this is just a stunt and she’s not really engaged. JJ was literally in her videos only weeks ago. Surely no man has proposed in that time 😅

Benjaminbraddock · 24/01/2026 23:32

100% this. I hate how vilified she is. She was way too young and it sounds like it was her childhood over in a flash .
we see every day the impact of fame on children and young people, very few grow up unscathed

She kills animals on a regular basis.

do you also go driving when drunk and on drugs?

Burningbud1981 · 25/01/2026 08:51

It’s probably a publicity stunt. I have no sympathy for that woman. I think she’s disgusting. She’s an abuser of animals a neglectful mother. Princess gave an interview where she said they had seen some awful things in the “mucky mansion “ god only knows what those poor children have been through. And I don’t believe for 1 second that the marriage to PA was abusive. Yes you have the short clips from the show but if you watch the show in full it’s only him giving as good as he gets. She was absolutely vile to him. And if he was abusive why hasn’t she done as tell all interview on him ! Thrown him under the bus ? She talks about everything else.

RoastBanana · 25/01/2026 08:51

GasperyJacquesRoberts · 24/01/2026 22:24

That was decades ago.

At which point does she start to bear some personal responsibility for the choices she makes? Or is the fact that she did not have the perfect upbringing an eternal excuse for her continuing poor decisions? Eg, if the people who made money off her when she was young also bad poor upbringings, does that absolve them of the choices they made back then?

I don’t think it’s that easy for damage to be undone. Some severely damaged people overcome what has been done to them, yes - many others struggle with ongoing mental health problems and yes, they cause damage to others in consequence.

I think the people most to be criticised here are those who have enabled her over decades- men, surgeons, family, ‘friends’, journalists etc - and have pretended that she’s ‘just being Katie’ rather than recognising this is a person with a serious mental illness who should not have custody of children or be allowed to have animals, & who needs proper qualified, compassionate medical intervention.

Or traumatised for their upbringing!

Her kids lives have been chaos from the start - that has a massive impact on their development.

”Laziness” might be factor but it will be a symptom of everything else in their lives.
