I especially love the 'future weddings' comment

The butler claims he said nothing of the kind, according to the article.

hmmm, on the one hand, we have a professional company who are well used to dealing with very famous people, and non famous very wealthy people and have built up a reputation of catering for a very elite group.

on the other hand, we have katie price. who loves publicity.

I have to say I am leaning towards believing the butler Grin

SpicyPear · 25/01/2013 17:31

But the butler only denies making "derogatory remarks". Is asking Katie Price if she is a porn star derogatory?

cory · 25/01/2013 17:32

Was it perhaps in response to a haughty Do you not know who I am?

HecateWhoopass · 25/01/2013 17:33

They said they refuted all her claims. So I assume they are including that in there.

Bobyan · 25/01/2013 17:34

Can't stop and post, I'm off to book my Katie-Price-free sandals holiday!

MrsJREwing · 25/01/2013 17:37

The woman admits to a cold sore, I believe her when she said the butler asked if she was a porn star. She has never lied, as far as I know, she is what she is an attention seeker, not a liar. Even Gareth Gates admitted he lied and had slept with her when she was pregnant in the end.

SpicyPear · 25/01/2013 17:37

It's just occurred to me that it could be some really advanced bit of PR. Sandals/KP engineering the entire thing so they look good to Mumsnetty types. And Katie Price making cash playing on her unpopularity. Or have I strayed over into tin foil hat territory?

On this one occasion I forgive a DM link freddie, this is lovely on so many levels Grin

StripeyCircle · 25/01/2013 17:39

That's hilarious! Thanks for the link. Sandals has just risen in my estimations (from a VERY low base).

tak1ngchances · 25/01/2013 17:40

AWESOME

ArtfulAardvark · 25/01/2013 17:41

I doubt the butler said that - but if he did I would have to wonder how inappropriate her language and behavoiur had been to prompt the query (i'm remembering having to switch off im a celebrity as her behaviour was yukky)

Narked · 25/01/2013 17:41

Sandals are scum. Until 2004 they refused to accept gay couples in their resorts. Here.

Pancakeflipper · 25/01/2013 17:42

Has Katie accepted the dosh and off to Butlins for her next Wedding?

Did The Sandals wedding planner make Katie wear that wedding porn dress?

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 25/01/2013 17:44

Their PR team.need a bonus! Brilliant!

FreePeaceSweet · 25/01/2013 17:46

I'm no KP fan but yikes this kind of thread is horrible. I know I'm alone on this one and prepared to be flamed but have I missed something or has she killed someone?

BackforGood · 25/01/2013 17:48

Grin Excellent statement from Sandals

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 25/01/2013 17:48

She publicly slandered their Company. Good.on them for responding.

tomme · 25/01/2013 17:49

Unbelievably I have to agree with kp assessment of sandals, went to that resort for our honeymoon lasted four nights and pretty much got a full refund when we flew home early and we werent the only British couple to do so that week. It's a dump, that private island so beautifully photographed is actually fenced off for cruise ships so the sandals private bit is a really small not very pretty beach, whilst the rest of the island is packed with day trippers from the cruiseliners.

Sandals is very much marketed as club 18-30 type holiday as far as I can gather in America rather than the luxurious resorts they are marketed as over here. I would never recommend a holiday there

Saying all that I am no fan of kp and love sandals statement.

HecateWhoopass · 25/01/2013 17:49

bloody hell, narked. That's outrageous.

I still love their response to k price, but that's disgusting!

angelinterceptor · 25/01/2013 17:52

I just love the statement and the bit near the end after the gesture of goodwill - I would so love to use part of that line in my business.

Over the years I have had stroppy customers who have been in the wrong, and have bullied our company, all the usual stuff of how many people they will tell etc etc. We have always done the refund/goodwill gesture too - but how I would love the tag line, "on condition you dont try to buy off me again".

CheCazzo · 25/01/2013 17:57

FFS you people saying the butler shouldn't have said that and waaaaaah waaaaaaaaah how disgusting and elitist etc.

What on earth makes you believe Ms Price over the butler? Explain that please.

FreePeaceSweet · 25/01/2013 17:58

Anyway. I'm sure it's no coincidence that the second picture of the Sandals resort resembles an upside down spunky cock. See?

thebody · 25/01/2013 17:58

This is bloody brilliant.

The future wedding and the z list reference are superb.

Daft woman.
