To wonder what's going on with Katie price 😳

Well, as in the title really- I'm not usually a lover of the papers, but it seems to be plastered everywhere today.

Really like Katie usually, find her quite relatable and down to earth straight up type.

The papers usually spout lies but that one has a video etc so I'm a bit confused what's happening with her lately.

She seems to have gone of the rails since her husband cheated with that tart Jane (I mean I would too! Can't believe she's taken him back!)

Really hope she's ok, just makes me worry for her it's such a shame.

AIBU to wonder what's gone wrong or is it just papers and they're twisting stuff as per 🙄

As with a lot of people in my world...I don't know her very well so will stick to my general assumptions in that she wants to be famous (can of worms) she has succeeded in being famous by means that are/are not acceptable (another can of worms) and now either believes and is happy in her choices/doesn't believe and is not happy in her choices...

Upshot is that i don't know her at all and any opinion i have will only be based on media interpretation (some of which she'll have authorised/some she won't).

What's sad is that so many of these 'celebrities' end up seeming so troubled. In fact, that could apply to many of the old hollywood school...they just had less sophisticated technology with which to stalk them.

I'm straying from my point Xmas Grin

Not at all. Although, I would say I don't have misogynistic views whatsoever. I would go so far as to say I'm a feminist. Which is probably why I find it more difficult to understand how a woman could betray another women's trust in such a way. I'm merely respecting a woman whom I like in her personal decision (again feminism). She has chosen to rebuild her marriage, and that takes a lot of doing, so I'm simply respecting her decision, and supporting her in it. As I said; your views are your opinions and you are more than entitled to them, as I am mine. I just find it entirely degrading that someone who by their own admittance, doesn't know me at all, chose to speak to me in a derogatory manner. But again, that is my opinion and as you probably do have (& are more than entitled to) your own opinion on the matter, it is your choice to speak to someone in such a manner.

Ah OP, your last post shows beyond doubt that actually you were being PA Grin

And if you are a feminist why blame the woman while believing the bloke has sex addiction? If you believe women should support each other, (I don't actually believe that as men and women are equally capable of being twats) then why call the woman names?

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 21/12/2016 20:06

Oh and I'm not feeling degraded as I'm not the onle being misogynistic Grin

It was a thumbs up. Me merely acknowledging your words. I do understand what you're saying to me, just trying to avoid confrontation.

I just re-read your earlier post... you are a counsellor? Wow.

Yes, I love it. It's amazing to see people acknowledge and overcome their problems. A very fulfilling job. X

MrsMattBomer · 21/12/2016 20:18

So, basically, the man has done nothing wrong and the woman preyed on his sex addiction and is a slag? Is it not possible both of them are arseholes? As well as Saint Katie?

I'd carry on but I've already spent too much time thinking about that vapid, narcissistic bint.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 21/12/2016 20:19

And so you spread your own special brand of sarcasm and passive aggression around a forum instead. Cool. Whatever works Grin

If you perceive sarcasm and aggression that is your opinion. I can assure you I have felt nor shown neither. The word that is read is interpreted by its reader. How you construe it is your own decision. And I say that genuinely and honestly with no malice intent whatsoever. I find that as I am so open, my words can often be misread/misheard x

Theres plenty being PA on here.

ImNotReallyReal · 21/12/2016 20:27

She likes fame and money, and will do anything for it.

We all know she's an attention seeking madam who got where she is by getting her tits out for the lads.

Her choice, I can't feel sorry for her. She could easily stay out of the public eye (surely she has enough money by now), but she just keeps on going.

She has a disabled child, so what. So do many other people and they don't drag them on daytime TV. Bet she loved the publicly from that. She's not a nice person IMHO. If a non celeb behaved like her they'd be labelled a narcissist on here, not someone with low self esteem.

There is so much wrong with this statement i don't know where to start.

Counsel speak at it's most dangerous.

Even though Harvey is - incredibly challenging I imagine. She has managed him incredibly well and I'm fairly sure he exceeded development expectations. She has a lot of help granted but I think she is a very strong parent to him. I remember seeing her meet with some supplier on tv and she had brought Harvey with her. Harvey made the meeting quite challenging but kp Just juggled the whole thing perfectly and never once felt she had to apologise for Harvey. My opinion of her is based on that reel alone.
I hope she's ok

KERALA1 · 21/12/2016 20:37

The fact she is rich and famous is a sad indictment on our society.

The "leave her alone" comments are hilarious. It's a game, an industry. She is playing us all to make money to think otherwise is naive.

My friends Dh met her and she made a comment that was so disgusting I can never bring myself to repeat it! Comment was to elderly senior people too.

NotAnotherUserName1234 · 21/12/2016 20:42

Pugmomma - are you KP? if so - could you not just start a thread in relationships.

lottieandmia · 21/12/2016 20:47

I don't think she's a narcissist. To me she comes across as possibly Aspie - I'm on the spectrum and I sometimes recognise it in others. Although I don't know her of course. She has horrible friends. I think she's been treated badly by a lot of people in her life and it has made her seem 'hard' but actually the impression I get is that she's very misunderstood generally.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 21/12/2016 20:48

I would say I don't have misogynistic views whatsoever.

Apart from you using the word 'tart' Hmm

MrsMattBomer · 21/12/2016 20:54

To be fair to Katie Price (now there's a phrase I never thought I'd say) she has done admirably with Harvey. She was 24 and a single mother and considering her career at the time I think what she did was brilliant. Not only that, but I don't think anyone can say Harvey isn't living a brilliant life. He seems to be and he still has a very good relationship with Peter, apparently.

She may be a fame hungry celeb and an airhead, but that's one part of her life I think she actually deserves a bit of credit for. Many in her line of work and at her age certainly wouldn't have gone along with the pregnancy and certainly wouldn't have spent so much of their own money trying to get him the best care available.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 21/12/2016 20:56

Many in her line of work and at her age certainly wouldn't have gone along with the pregnancy and certainly wouldn't have spent so much of their own money trying to get him the best care available.

Whilst I agree, vast numbers of people don't have access to the kind of money she does to get that level of care.
