I wonder how differently she will be treated compared to ant mcpartlin

4 of her kids are not "depending on her," as they are living with their fathers. Harvey is another matter, however.

Peter Andre was vilified in the press for supposedly dumping her after a miscarriage. It has never been confirmed who the father was of that baby. I'm not saying it should be confirmed - none of our business, for one, but he would have had very good reasons for walking out of that marriage.

No sympathy on the drink driving charge at all. Whether you're KP, Ant or John Doe, drink driving means you're a dick & you're lucky you didn't cause someone else's death with your selfish actions.Angry

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 10/10/2018 22:52

What was she thinking?

Well I suppose the answer to that is that she wasn't.

GreenDinosaur · 10/10/2018 23:04

Not an Ant fan either but I agree that there's a difference between still being over the limit the next day and actually driving home after a night out. Neither is great but one is a lot more understandable as a mistake.

Onthedowns · 10/10/2018 23:06

Amazing that on world mental health day she is stilll being vilified. I don’t necessarily agree that her choices are brilliant but it’s clear to see she has serious issues and she needs help. It’s a shame she doesn’t seem to be surrounded by the right people to point her in the right direction .

MissusGeneHunt · 10/10/2018 23:30

Having MH issues doesn't mean that it's acceptable to drink drive. She MAY have made some bad decisions due to being under the 'strain' of her current life, but please, please, using MH as an excuse isn't on. She's not daft, in fact she's allegedly quite savvy, so her decisions were not necessarily made under mental duress.
I agree, if not for herself, for her children's sake she needs help, whatever format that takes. However, she's not above the law, and should be dealt with like any drink driver: harshly.

Mummyoftwo91 · 10/10/2018 23:50

I feel sorry for Harvey in all of this, he only has one parent who was his whole life , I've heard he's living in a residential home at the moment how incredibly sad for him he must be so confused

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 11/10/2018 08:53

Poor Harvey - I always thought Katie should have let Peter Andre see him more but didn’t out of spite
Re: her kids living with their dads I’m pretty sure she solely pays for the youngest two, how much does a retired stripper make?

Queenofthedrivensnow · 11/10/2018 09:54

I think PA is a good father. He's a media who're like all of them but his commitment to. His children is evident.

As far as I'm aware the younger ones are with Kieran

If you believe the ‘blind’ gossip and her over the top protestation SS are/have already been involved. It’s unsurprising really. She quite clearly doesn’t have custody of any of the children at the moment, possibly this is why she’s struggling so much.

Nothing excuses drink driving, and if she is vilified more than Ant in the press, I suspect that will be more because of her repeated driving offenses, not her gender.

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 11/10/2018 11:06

Yes. I’ve seen the blinds. It could explain the spiralling self-destruction.

Mia1415 · 11/10/2018 11:11

She's in total self destruct mode. I'm afraid I no longer have any sympathy for her. She's an absolute mess. I feel so sorry for her children.

MrDonut · 11/10/2018 13:24

I also read on a gossip page that she’s a raging coke addict and if you want to know where all her money went, look up her nose. No idea if it’s true or not, but wouldn’t surprise me.

RabbityMcRabbit · 11/10/2018 13:29

Lola why though? She could have killed or seriously injured someone.

Starlight345 · 11/10/2018 13:37

I reported my exh ( was dh at the time) to his mh team for drink driving.

Mh issues do not give you the right to put others in danger. I feel this way about everyone celebrity or not.

The children are the ones I feel for in all this.

SPOFS · 11/10/2018 13:39

I doubt she will get a prison sentence given that she has young kids.

She does need a long overdue wake up call though.

MissEliza · 11/10/2018 13:43

I cynically wondered if this is a publicity stunt. There's been a lot of stories about her recently. I just wondered if she's that desperate to be in the spotlight.
I feel for all the kids, but most of all Harvey. I used to hate KP because she was a glamour model but I changed my mind because of the way she fights for him.

serenmoon · 11/10/2018 13:45

Where can I read the blind gossip?

NorthernRunner · 11/10/2018 14:00

I am exceptionally cynical about all things Katie price and anything that appears in the tabloids has probably been put there by her, any publicity is good publicity right?
Everything about her I find false and insincere.

I’m also repulsed by the videos she puts up on social media of her son Harvey calling various people c*nt, just because he has additional needs doesn’t make that funny or ok.
Don’t wish her or her family harm in anyway but I do wish she would fade away quietly. She clearly can’t live in the public eye and maintain a healthy, happy life.

Nicknacky · 11/10/2018 14:32

SPOFS Her children will be rightly taken into account but it wouldn't save her from a prison sentence, particularly when the children are adequately being cared for (and might not even be living with her anyway)

Nicknacky · 11/10/2018 14:33

I can't see this being a publicity stunt. Surely no one is that stupid to think that being caught drink driving is going to create sympathy?

Especially after the backlash Ant McPartlin got.

any publicity is good publicity right

Again don't think Ant would agree

skyesayshi · 11/10/2018 17:34

It wasn't Katie's children referred to in that article, it was a female actress, whose tweet was taken down, but the replies can still be seen. I would say you would know who it is in a flash, but it is more likely in a heartbeat....... (not allowed to publish the name)

KP needs to be shipped off to rehab fast, sell her house, and try and make a full recovery so that she can get her kids back.
