To think Katie Price wants to take women back in time?

Telegraph Article

Apparently strong women don't leave their philandering husbands, because that's taking the 'easy' route...

5 by 6 !!!!

ICanCountToOneHundred · 26/09/2016 14:51

What is 5 by 6?

BlasianFashionista · 26/09/2016 14:52

She's a strange person, really quite disturbing

No she isn't, not one bit, she's a brilliant mother and a business woman.

Leave her alone, especially when she's not here to defend herself.

MyBreadIsEggy · 26/09/2016 14:52

She's just a bit dim really isn't she? Confused
I would seriously worry about anyone who would take relationship/parenting/fashion advice from her Hmm The other day, I saw a loose women clip from a while ago where they were discussing breastfeeding, and she said it shouldn't be done in restaurants etc because she doesn't want to see a boob while she's eating.....well I didn't really want to see her boobs plastered over the first open page of newspaper while munching my Cheerios back in the 90's but was subjected to that travesty Hmm

ktfs · 26/09/2016 14:53

5 children by 6 different dads (its a joke)

ICanCountToOneHundred · 26/09/2016 14:55

Oh, I had heard 4x4 but didn't make the connection as I thought her kids were by 3 fathers. Oh well, I am a 2x2 Grin

It's 5 children by 3 different dads

6? Blush

I heard her interviewed at a book festival and she freely admitted that in business she is as shrewd as they come, but with men she is utterly crap.

She was furious with him and deeply hurt, but she loves him, and isn't strong enough to leave. Because she wants things to be different - like every person in a dysfunctional relationship she doesn't want that relationship, she wants the good one she sees sometimes.

I've seen similar things said lots of times, in many places, here included.

And if I could give her one bit of advice it would be "you don't have to marry them".

FWIW, The volunteer in the writers' green room was enchanted by her, and said she was utterly charming, well mannered, kind and very polite.

I haven't read the item but it all sounds a bit sad, doesn't it? That ghastly song called, "Take a Little Piece of my Heart" by Emma Franklin has a similar sentiment which makes me angry. Basically it says to put up with a man who behaves badly just because it makes him feel good.

It's just so wrong. What is the point of being a martyr? Pathetic. A man like that should be told to bugger off for good.

DramaInPyjamas · 26/09/2016 15:02

I don't even think she's that great at parenting either if I'm quite honest. Her career is fizzling out and she now grooming the Andre kids into mini-celebs just to keep her relevant.

MoreCoffeeNow · 26/09/2016 15:07

She's a deeply sad woman. I feel so sorry for her children.

Thejubremonyatthelibrary · 26/09/2016 15:07

The whole situation with Princess is grim. I'm sick of seeing that child posing and pouting and believe me, i'm not looking out for KP articles. The poor child's being pushed out there.

Yorkieheaven · 26/09/2016 15:08

She's no more irritating than Peter Andre but Noones criticising him.

Are women supposed to all behave the same?

She's made s shed load of money with very little talent and a modicum of looks.

Good for her I say.

Yorkieheaven · 26/09/2016 15:09

Presumably Peter is fine with his daughter posing like that? No? All the mothers fault?

yummymummycleo · 26/09/2016 15:13

I feel sorry for her children mostly. Their mums whole life is in print. She has no filter and has sold her soul basically. I do wonder how they will turn out with the lifestyle they have.

I agree, she has to say that about being stronger staying. It justifies her decision to stay.

DramaInPyjamas · 26/09/2016 15:16

Peter has been interviewed quite a few times saying he's not happy with the photos of Princess posing --the pouting pics especially

Didn't Katie post in 'relationships' a few years ago, asking for advice? It was a long thread and it turned out to be her. She might still lurk!

Yorkieheaven · 26/09/2016 15:33

private no sadly been around far too many years but yea he has been criticised before point taken. Wink he does love his kids. Grin

pyjamas don't buy that at all. He's had a reality show with the kids and it's no different really.

I have no time for either of them really as nothing is real it's all fabricated for maximum publicity but I don't see her mothering any worse than Petes parenting..

BlasianFashionista · 26/09/2016 15:34

Twogoats

I'm sure she hasn't got the time to lurk on parenting websites.

It is pretty sad that a lot of you are here judging her and saying horrible things about her, knowing that there is no way she can answer you back or defend herself.

The bitchiness of this site is rife

MoreCoffeeNow · 26/09/2016 15:38

If you court publicity then you can expect criticism. If she retired from public life there would be no more threads about her.

I hope that day comes soon. Until then I will comment on a woman who has no self respect and seems to think that's a virtue.

RebootYourEngine · 26/09/2016 15:38

Katie Price is quite far from beimg a feminist.

She jumps from man to man. She isnt financially independant (her brother looks after her money). I am sure she has said before that she doesnt have a clue how much money she has.

Princess is 9 years old and apparently has a make up page on instagram. Why the fuck does a nine year old need make up tips?

pictish · 26/09/2016 15:40

Feminism is about having the choice is it not?

derxa · 26/09/2016 15:54

I like her. She has looked after Harvey brilliantly. She doesn't sentimentalise his disability. She takes full responsibility for her actions. She's very loyal and hasn't had that loyalty repaid. Despite all the pouting etc. she's working hard to provide a brilliant country upbringing for her children. I thinks she's happiest mucking out horses.
