The programme is actually quite interesting and she comes across well, especially talking to the young people.

BornInAfrica

She may have been lots of things before Harvey was born , she may not, but no one can say she does not care about Harvey, her love and warmth for him is always evident.
I dont give a rats whether she dictated the article or just put her name to it.
How can anyone deny her the right to protect her child and use her celeb status as a platform to highlight such disgusting and blatant discrimination camouflaged as humour.
I am not softass or a halfwit, I am someone who has seen first hand the caring and totally devoted and giving side of KP. The KP who does not seek publicity and who offered the most wonderful gift of understanding and friendship to a very frightened and bewildered first time mum with a child with very similar problems to Harvey.
She could easily promote that side of herself if she wanted to but she is clever enough to realise the public are not interested in nice...they just want the trash to keep their eyes ever boggled. What we see is a brand.
What we get via the media is that brand being advertised.

She is modest enough to keep the real Katie very private.

And yes I even made myself smile at seeing the word modest in a sentence with Katie Price in it.Never thought that would be a sentence I would read but its a sentence I am very happy to write

Nice post fit2

I have to say i am seeing KP in a whole new light now!

Not watching but a great article , her love for Harvey is evident.

Doesn't matter who his mother is, Harvey didn't deserve any of this.
Some people seem to forget that he is the victim and Frankie Boyle the villain here.
I'm not a fan of KP and I don't especially like what she stands for, but I have seen nothing to make me think that she isn't a devoted mum to her children.
And if she was the worst mother on the planet, Frankie Boyle had no need to direct his vile jibes at a child.

How is disliking Katie Price 'woman hating'?

This thread is so fucking depressing.

Whether or not you like KP, any parent would be appaulled by the 'joke' from FB. To suggest that your child would rape you if sickening, with or without disability.

If it was me I would fight every day for an apology. He didnt just say it in passing to a friend, he said it on TV in front of millions of people.

I honestly cannot believe there are people out there with children that think its okay to laugh at this, or dont find it offensive, let alone those with children with SN. I am shocked.

I am sure there are many people on MN who were very different people pre-DC's I know I was, but people change with age and maturity.

I'm not defending Frankie bloody Boyle - can't stand the jumped up opinionated fucker - he's about as funny as a lumpy fart ffs. His joke was vile and uncalled for and the very very worst sort of attention seeking. None of which makes Katie Price a bloody angel or the next Mother Teresa. It just doesn't.

she really is no better than she ought to be.

Fuck me, are you my Grandma? No one under the age of 80 actually say that do they?

I say it in tribute to my very wise and now sadly departed Grandmother!

Sadly Mario there are.... and there are lots and when an arse like boyle are given a platform to spout their shite all it does is tell these offensive morons that its ok and it is funny and lets all laugh together ha ha ha ...fucking ha.

I have to deal with the results of this sort of discrimination every day, I work in mental health and also a lot of the people I work with have learning disabilities and physical challenges too every day of their lives. Its unfair and wrong to add to this with disgusting and sickening remarks.

As I say I work with these lovely people every day, and they laugh at themselves, they take the piss out of themselves, they have wonderfull and diverse senses of humour....its heartening and humbling to see and hear and I am blessed every day to be part of their world....

KP says that boyle should spend a day in the life of harvey to maybe understand what its like
But boyle deserves to have his bollocks boiled and pricked till they're tender then made to eat them.
He does not deserve to breathe the same air as the brave and delightful, funny and amazing people that I am lucky enough to share my day with

Guess it depends on what you think of KP , Frankie B and Disability and being able to separate one from another.

lilyloo it has nothing to do with what anyone thinks of KP - even if she was mrs joe bloggs, he was completley out of order saying what he said.

Look, he's not going to apologise. If he did it would be insincere.

An article in the Daily Mail written by one of KP's lackeys is not going to change his mind either.

You can't force a sincere apology out of someone.

Nor can you force someone to be offended.

I suspect most of the righteously indignant public have never given a fuck about disabled people or people with disabilities (there are two distinct terms, which are favoured by different people/activists) in any meaningful or practical sense. And I also suspect that many people who work day in and day out in the hard slog of their job, life or position of advocacy think that in the everyday scheme of things a spat between two grubby 'celebrities' won't make a blind bit of grassroots difference.

The world of Harvey Price ain't the one most disabled people have to negotiate.

Vintage i completely agree but would say we are in minority here

Where did I say it was ok?

I've never said anything about his 'joke' and whether it was ok?

Making what things worse? For whom?

What I'm saying is that demanding apologies from FB and getting schmaltzy about an article claiming preposterously to be written by KP does not really equate to anything useful in terms of changing the lives for the better for disabled people or their families.

An observation.

And for the record I think it was a really fucking shitty thing to say, dude.

It's not about her though is it. The fact is that man said disgusting things about a disabled child, a 9 year old child. Ffs really that's what he sits at home and thinks about is it? A blind, disabled child raping his mother, and that doesn't deserve an apology. Some of you really need to get a grip if you seriously think anyone deserves that and it's ok.

Have followed this thread from the start and I am quite frankly horrified at some of the venom spewed and hatred directed towards KP, it seems to show a complete lack of humanity. OK, I think we are all sensible and intelligent enough to know she is no role model for our children, but please, slate the system that puts these celebs where they are not the individual who we have no real knowledge of. We don't know KP, so it's all speculation with regard to her parenting skills/ what goes on behind closed doors. What is evident is she is just doing what any of us would do, that is to stand up for our children and in her case it is in an extreme case of verbal abuse. Meanwhile the vile little man that insulted her lovely little boy in such a low, cruel way is still managing to have a career and make money out of this sort of crap.

It may deserve an apology, but if he won't give one then other than by use of force what can anyone do?

Has anyone here said they find the notion of the child raping his mother funny?
