Who is with me?

And should I start one of those petition things?

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

They must be extremely mysterious "businesses". I wonder what they are. Presumably they are companies, with names, registered in the UK, which are traceable. Its remarkably fortuitous that a two hit wonder many years ago had the foresight to set up several "businesses" which happily provide him with an income huge enough not to have to hold down a salaried job and live in an expensive home and support a large extended family.

I also wonder why he doesn't talk about these "businesses", since everything else in his life is up for public disclosure. Are we really to believe that the Botoxed Orange one wouldn't talk about his own successful businesses, even if only to boast, if indeed he did run them (in the spare time he has between media appearances)?

I just don't believe that he didn't take a few million from KP in the divorce settlement. I suspect its much more likely that said settlement included a privacy clause which she has adhere to on its terms and a trust of some sort in favour of their children which technically means the money didn't go to him, but since he lives in a gorgeous expensive large home, he gets to enjoy the benefits.

I also heard KP had to sell a previous house to (re) finance it.

I thought he had business and property abroad in Cyprus & Australia? As I say though I might be wrong.

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 19:21

Didn't he open a chain of coffee shops at one point?

NoArmaniNoPunani · 27/09/2015 19:30

He had a cafe near where I live, I don't think he has it any more.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 27/09/2015 19:32

Ah he still has one in East Grinstead according to this www.brightonandhovenews.org/2015/07/22/peter-andres-brighton-cafe-closes

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 19:43

One shop. Nearly a chain then. Grin

HemanOrSheRa · 27/09/2015 20:12

I thought he owned holiday properties in Cyprus Sparkling.

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 20:18

Yes Heman that rings a bell. I am sure he bought one during one of his fly on the wall programmes.

"KP posed in OK or Hello with a crate of, I think, SMA bottles. I suspect she doesn't give a shit about what PA or anyone else thinks of her feeding choice."

She has now shot up in my estimation.

I love these threads. I remember Sparkling and Buppers on one when I was going through a rough time and it really cheered me up.

He is a multi millionaire in his own right and has fragrances, magazine deals, a record deal, tour income, presenting jobs, a coffee shop chain and is an investor in property. Yes he made money as part of Katie and Peter, but so did she.

There are so many posters absolutely determined to hate him based on speculation and musings that I really cannot fathom it. Is he a murderer? is he a paedophile? No! so why the massive investment in what his businesses are or whether he did this or that?

I genuinely don't get the vitriol. I've never seen anything like it about anyone else on Mumsnet. Many of you are determined to believe snippets that don't amount to fact whether its true or not.

I just think life's too short to put this much effort into hating a celebrity who is not actually guilty of a crime or physical abuse..

2rebecca · 27/09/2015 21:05

Why doesn't Jamelia give her surname? is it a pretend name like Prince?

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 21:06

I think I have mellowed a bit toward PA Pity. Grin

So many more annoying slebs have appeared that I have to be Hmm about.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 27/09/2015 21:07

Prince is Prince's real name.

Sparklingbrook · 27/09/2015 21:07

It's 'Davis' 2rebecca doesn't have that ring.

Now you have made me think about Jamelia and i am all Angry again. Sad

I'm sure I speak for all Peter haters when I say that it doesn't really take over our lives. We still manage to have careers, hobbies and families while hating Peter.

The80sweregreat · 27/09/2015 22:20

The hate for Peter Andre on Mumsnet is even worse than for Andy Murray on the tennis Wimbledon thread in July!

RonaldMcDonald · 27/09/2015 22:47

Andrea got half the profits of all money made during their period of marriage as a settlement in the divorce plus a monthly spousal amount for a prolonged period

Everything he made was due to being attached to her. He was an utterly washed up hasbeen without her

It riles me that he slut shames her for being exactly what she was and what made him his money

Andrea's successful businesses - unless it was working as a mobile tanner he was a loser

revealall · 27/09/2015 22:54

So the astute business woman that is Katie didn't get a pre nup but it's still PA's fault?

MissBattleaxe · 27/09/2015 22:59

He did not get spousal support. It's a myth.

BitOutOfPractice · 28/09/2015 00:07

I don't have feeling either way about PA. but I find the KP-apologists flaying him for bring some sort of shameless publicity seeker rather rich and amusing

Scremersford · 28/09/2015 00:33

Erm, Bit, he makes his money out of publicity-seeking! You know, reality tv shows, selling stories to the newspapers about his family and ex, tv shows about his family life, and so on. I can't say with any certainty whether its shameless or not, but the mudslinging on his ex, without whose influence he would be an unheard of nonentity these days, does seem quite a shame.

BitOutOfPractice · 28/09/2015 03:30

How does his ex make her money then?

Like I say I really have no feelings either way about either of them. I don't really follow sleb stuff

Sparklingbrook · 28/09/2015 07:26

I have no idea what KP does currently but I guess she made hay while the sun shone and invested wisely. Because the interest in her is surely on the decline?

patienceisvirtuous · 28/09/2015 08:21

It's funny how everyone refers to PA as washed up singer and attributes his success to meeting KP?

Surely exac same can be said for her? She wasn't 'big' when they hooked up...

Also, I watched that I'm a celeb - she worked hard to convince everyone that Jordan was her work persona and Katie was her real self so maybe he wasn't so unreasonable to not expect to be married to 'Jordan'.

Anyone watching that I'm a celeb will have seen that she tried to discredit him even on the show. She went round whispering to everyone that he had suggested a showmance so they could earn money - he had done no such thing and when asked about it she claimed she had got wires crossed Confused

It's her MO, belittle her men, esp wrt to their financial worth compared to hers, then when they've split up, publically state they have a tiny c*ck.

eedon · 28/09/2015 09:28

I think its disgusting to be so rude about adad.

What exactly is the problem with declaring your love for your children often and openly? If more men were like this their suicide rate would be lower.
