Who is with me?

And should I start one of those petition things?

Also who introduces their patients to their family?
Terribly odd altogether

Scraping the barrel for criticism now.

Booyaka are you on KP's payroll?? You seem awfully wound up about this Smile

Booyaka · 27/09/2015 13:44

No, I don't even like her. I just hate him. Mainly because he plays Dad of the year but exploits his children and has fuelled a long term media vendetta against KP which can only be damaging for his children. And he does it all for money.

Incidentally, KP claimed that she gave him a £6 million settlement plus 18 x monthly payments of £15k. He denied this, but interestingly did not sue her for saying it, and he has sued her for much less. I think it's probably true.

emotionsecho · 27/09/2015 13:46

Maybe journalists et al who keep asking should stop asking him why he left KP Mitzy.

MitzyLeFroof · 27/09/2015 13:48

But doesn't the main bulk of his career involve weekly 'interviews' with OK magazine?

MissBattleaxe · 27/09/2015 13:49

KP said a lot of things about Peter and he successfully sued her for libel on two occasions. He stated he never took a penny off her in the settlement and she was silnet. Let's face it, if it was true she would have proved it by now. She's not exactly shy about coming forward with her opinions.

Booyaka · 27/09/2015 14:02

So why didn't he sue for libel over the settlement if not true? The claims about the settlement were made well before the libel case and he brought up multiple claims in that suit but not the settlement. Considering he was concerned enough about the claims to go on record denying them that seems extremely odd. Especially considering that if the claims were untrue it would have been child's play to prove that was the case.

It must have been either true or close enough to the truth to make suing for libel impossible.

They're both as bad as each other

emotionsecho · 27/09/2015 14:10

Possibly Mitzy, I don't read the celeb gossip magazines but if he has stated on more than once occasion that he won't reveal why he left KP there is little point in the interviewer asking the question. I know they are only asking the question because their readers feel they have a 'right to know' but they don't and to me it is just a peculiarly pointless exercise.

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 14:11

What's the court case in January all about?

MitzyLeFroof · 27/09/2015 14:14

The last time I bought OK magazine was the Beckham wedding edition but the way I assumed his contract with that magazine works is that they both agree ahead of time the angle each interview will take. He isn't asked questions he doesn't want to answer.

I don't think OK go in for hard hitting interviews!

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 14:19

OK! covered his wedding to Emily over 2 weeks.

emotionsecho · 27/09/2015 14:23

You may well be right Mitzy in which case it's a pointless exercise by both partiesGrin.

AmysTiara · 27/09/2015 14:33

I thought this thread was going to be about Jamelia. Bit disappointed now

Booyaka · 27/09/2015 14:40

The court case in January is Katie Price suing Peter Andre and his manager for basically trying to destroy her in the press post their break up to make him look good and benefit her career.

I don't think she will win because I don't think she had a reputation to destroy and what reputation she did have she's done a very good job of destroying on her own without PA helping.

However, it's probably going to mean a hell of a lot of dirty laundry is going to be aired which it's likely will trash PAs carefully crafted family man image.

Google 'Claire Powell Neville'. There's some interesting stuff from a separate court case earlier this year.

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 14:42

Ah yes Carby Clare Booyaka I remember her from the fly on the wall stuff when PA and KP were still together.

The SCD tour is in January, so my guess is PA won't be on it then.

RonaldMcDonald · 27/09/2015 14:43

I wasn't scraping the barrel for criticism. That well is so deep that there is no need.

I was remarking that it was odd that a surgeon introduced his gallbladder patient ( oft fond of following his then wife around weedling for 'a blowie' on camera ) to his daughter.
I do find that odd. Different but no less odd if he had been an actual celebrity.
As she was far too young to have been part of the Mysterious girl followers and could have only known him as the orange offshoot of his ex wife I don't understand why she'd have bothered.

Peter Andre perfectly pointless in everyway, except fake tan

Googling "claire Powell Neville" brings up one of our own dear threads high up:

NoArmaniNoPunani · 27/09/2015 14:52

Of course he received spousal support. Does anyone really think he'd be rich off the back of one hit song twenty years ago and a few OK spreads?

NoArmaniNoPunani · 27/09/2015 14:54

going by the current tone the reviews would be gushing, but there'd be no irony in them. You'd never get a thread as cracking as the love bus to Crealy theses days. There seems to have been an infiltration of genuine Peder fans!

Some of us old lot are still around.

MissBattleaxe · 27/09/2015 14:56

It must have been either true or close enough to the truth to make suing for libel impossible.
so why didn't KP sue for libel if his statement that he got no spousal support was untrue? Why didn't she deny it? Why didn't she prove it in public?

Some people on here are going to hate him no matter what he did or does.

i.e- he doesn't say why they split up- he's wrong!
If he did explain why they split up- he'd be wrong!
He only goes for "women with money" and not backing dancers- he's wrong!
If he dated a backing dancer- he'd be wrong!

MissBattleaxe · 27/09/2015 14:57

They made 6million on joint enterprises during the time they were married. He already had businesses and still has businesses now.

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 14:59

I thought he had a few properties abroad. But might be wrong.

hookiewookiedoodah · 27/09/2015 15:03

I think they're both as bad as each other.
However, if PA hadn't met KP he wouldn't be where he is now-he'd be cabareting at Butlins. It was only because he met her that he was pushed back into the limelight and he's made a stack of cash from it.
