Do you feel sorry for Katie Price?

136 replies

SixtySevenLabubus · 07/06/2026 14:25

I know that she’s done some terrible things, but I can’t help but feel bad for Katie Price. Yes, I feel bad for her kids, pets, and family first and foremost, but sympathy is not a finite resource as I feel sad for her too.

In the noughties, she had the world at her feet. She made a success of herself out of no skills or qualifications. For a time, the public seemed to like her.

Seeing how far she’s fallen is tragic. With the right man or better friends, things could have turned out quite different I think?

I don’t know loads about her, but the fact she’s absolutely ruined her face and body does make me feel sorry for her, because no-one mentally strong would do that.

I bet Peter Andre, who seems to have a pretty perfect life now, is embarrassed he ever had a relationship with her. Their 2 kids are only normal (or seem to be) because of him and his lovely wife.

TheBloomingDahlia · 07/06/2026 15:28

I pity her but I don’t feel sorry for her. She has had the opportunity to make different choices at every turn but has chosen not to. I think she started very young in a damaging industry and clearly has MH issues, but the effect on other people and her children is hard to forgive

Tiptow · 07/06/2026 15:29

Yes, I feel very sorry for her. She isn’t quite right,very obviously. Various body dysmorphias and personality disorders piling up by the look if it. It’s a shame.

I want them to speak like Joanna Lumley

Most twattish comment I've ever read on here....

Yes and no.
I sympathise with how she was lured by riches and fame by getting her kit off. That was a sort of grooming because back then you could be 16 and posing sexily in a bikini.
I sympathise with how even though she was gorgeous, predatory agents and scouts still made her feel not good enough so she turned to more and more extreme cosmetic surgeries.
I sympathise with how many of her friends sponged off her and took advantage of her.

But I have zero sympathy for how she raised her kids- Princess has been shoved down the same career path to hell.

I have zero sympathy for her drinking and driving

I have zero sympathy for her chronic neglect of pets causing frequent deaths. She should be banned from ever owning any pet.

I don’t get all the hype about her being gorgeous. She was quite pretty, but not beautiful. The only surgery that enhanced her was the nose job - she should have stopped there. Her teeth are like joke teeth, and they’ve been done so many times, it’s weakened them - it wouldn’t surprise me if she lost most of them. The surgery on her lips left them baggy and misshaped. It was her decision to have enormous boobs which made her look out of proportion. I don’t think it’s mental illness. I think she’s desperately trying to cling to her youth, and she’s chosen all these surgeries and tweakments. She must envy her beautiful daughter

No. She’s the architect of her own downfall

Exactly - bad choices on top of bad choices. She had the money/resources to tackle her issues and didn't.

No it isn't- this is.

We have a generation to girls aspiring that the way to be successful is to go on tv and be a Katie Price or be in love island.

Tracey Emin and Kathy Burke do not speak like Joanna Lumley. I think you have missed the point.

Shes gone over the top
But there are many women out there who are heavily botoxed i think its an awful look personally .

Oh I dunno, she's just as vile. Not been around as long though.

You have chosen women that you personally deem worthy enough to aspire to. It's extremely obnoxious.

Monty36 · 07/06/2026 15:39

I have read that the more plastic surgery you have on your face in particular the less you are able to relate to other people. This apparently is because your face cannot send signals to the brain because it doesn’t move as it normally would anymore. The brain stops registering emotions. When done too much.
I think this has happened to her.

No I don’t feel sorry for her.

Heartbroken38 · 07/06/2026 15:40

And so many of these comments are just slagging off how she looks.

dairydebris · 07/06/2026 15:46

I do.

She's clearly deeply unhappy.

I don't see how anyone could fail to feel sorry for her either.

I don't think she has the personal resources necessary to deal with the life she's created for herself.

I think it's a tragedy.

Of course - what do you expect when details of her latest face lifts, lip filler, boob jobs and luminous teeth are thrust at us via the media. She likes all the attention!

cramptramp · 07/06/2026 15:52

Nope. Not in the slightest. All self inflicted at the detriment to the lives of her poor children. I don't really know what’s happening with her atm. I see the headlines but I won’t click on any stories about her because they generate income for her.

I can’t stand either. The less we talk about them the better.

Tetchypants · 07/06/2026 15:54

I don’t. She has enough people around her warning her about stupid life choices but she still makes them. I am uncharacteristically intrigued by the whole Lee situation, though.

I fear she will die young from some horrible cosmetic procedure gone wrong, she has gone beyond being a curvy caricature to looking an absolute mess.

EnoughRain · 07/06/2026 15:54

Possibly because of this thread and however algorithms work, she just popped up on TikTok. God, she looks desperate. Her knees are wider than her legs. She can’t be well, physically or mentally.

xino · 07/06/2026 15:55

I feel sorry for her in the same way I feel sorry for anyone who’s not got their shit together. It’s a miserable place to be, as we see countless times on Mumsnet.

In my younger days, and after a terrible bereavement, I most definitely did not have my shit together, and cringe at my behaviour and thoughts. I needed compassion then though the old me would not have thought I deserved it.

PercyPigFan73 · 07/06/2026 15:55

Nope. Vile animal abuser 😡 🤬

AmazingGreatAunt · 07/06/2026 15:56

No. I imagine most people on this site today are just like her. Not the case in the past, I think.

MondeoFan · 07/06/2026 15:57

No I don’t. When she first got together with Peter Andre I was made up for her as I thought finally someone sensible. But now no. I’m wondering if she has undiagnosed Autism, ADHD. Her life is a car crash. I think no chance of turning it around now.

MyArtfulGreySloth · 07/06/2026 15:58

Nope. She’s vile.

LlynTegid · 07/06/2026 16:00

Not at all. I'd like her to be banned for life from ever having a car licence for starters, incidentally along with a large number of other people.
