I've just watched her on this morning with Harvey and my heart melted. She's slagged off so often but she's got such an amazing bond with Harvey and he's such a sweetie.

No 306 but she might be morally bound not to ask for payment from a charity don't you think?

MamaMary · 13/03/2015 13:08

I actually think she's cold and calculating. But it's got her where she is.

I won't deny that she may be a brilliant mum for all I know.

Madamecastafiore · 13/03/2015 13:13

Detest her. Think she is an awful role model to so many girls.

I don't think her relentless pursuit of money does her any favours. I can totally see why she does it though - she has an awful lot of people who rely on her, financially.

I do think that 'nice person' might be pushing it a bit but equally I don't think she deserves all the vitriol that gets shovelled her way. I once stood up for her at a party - there were a group of us talking and we got onto some celebrity chat. One particular drunken muppet said something along the lines of 'and look at the state of her kid, not surprising though considering all the partying she did during her pregnancy'. I thought that was a really disgusting and totally unfounded thing to say so I pulled her up on it, and got laughed at for my trouble. I know she's a publicity-obsessed celeb but she's still a person and I just couldnt' let that sort of crap go unchallenged.

I Can't agree that Katie is a brilliant Mum. I think that of course she should have a good bone with Harvey. He's her son! As she should with her other 4 kids. (Is it 4?)

She's only interested in herself and playing out her relationship dramas for money and publicity.

I will never forget the magazine headlines "Harvey hits me" "Harvey still wears nappies" "Doctors say Harvey may die soon"

What kind of Mother sells personal details of her child, her disabled child at that, to the highest bidder?!!! Harvey is entitled to privacy. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I think YABU.

Sortmylifeout · 13/03/2015 13:19

I couldn't say if she is a good mum or not. How can anyone who doesn't know her and spend time with her and her children possibly know?

I do think she came across as sex-obsessed in an openly crude way on Big Brother as if she hasn't got the filters/boundaries that most of us have. That put me off.

And the feature Peter Andre writes in New magazine about how much he loves his kids is awful. Pass the bucket. His poor new wife.

YouPooPooBumBum · 13/03/2015 13:24

But newspapers would print shocking headlines like that! ^

306235388 · 13/03/2015 13:33

Yes awade and the RNIB employee is surely morally, ethically and professionally bound not to divulge such personal info?

silveroldie2 · 13/03/2015 13:36

"My mum never got her tits out for the nation to perve over. YABU"

This

As far as I'm concerned she's a nonentity.

browneyedgirl86 · 13/03/2015 13:39

The headlines were from interviews she had done for Ok magazine. Presumably she had no problem with them using quotes as the headline and even if she didn't have control, she was clearly ok with it because there was many, many Interviews she told personal things about Harvey too. Give the boy some dignity!

livingzuid · 13/03/2015 13:44

I've always liked her. Met her once as well and she was really nice. She uses the media to her full advantage
and makes a bloody good living off it. Well done her for being so successful.

She also does not parade her kids around and I think comments about the fathers are rather harsh. There are many millions of women who just end up in constantly failed relationships and she is one of them. Nothing spectacularly awful about that.

As for the RNIB comment I seriously doubt that came from KP herself. She has a legion of people who look after her PR and it would have been some idiot on the phone not realising it was a charity, hardly KP doing the negotiation. Like all famous people she has set causes she supports and she can't do everything. Also awful to mention that on a public forum and for employees to discuss it in the first place!

Springtulip · 13/03/2015 13:45

I really don't think we can tell who is a good mum just by the way they portray themselves on TV. But I don't think it's being a good mum to go into such detail of her sex life as she did on Big Brother knowing full well her kids or her kids friends at least could have been watching. She doesn't seem to have any boundaries into what she'll talk about. I should imagine her kids could get very embarrassed by her sex talk. She also seem very self obsessed.

differentnameforthis · 13/03/2015 14:24

I cant comment on her parenting, because it's pretty much all been said. But if I remember correctly, she was pretty horrible about Jade Goody, accusing her of making money out her cancer diagnosis, which I find pretty indefensible, to be honest. Jade was dieing and trying to get money for her boys, Katie was a heartless bitch, only doing an about turn when Jade's health deteriorated and in my opinion that was just to save her own arse. So no, she isnt that nice, imo
