To wonder why everyone hates Katie Price?

[Shanny81]

News stories over Christmas have zoned right in on her misery ... people seem to be loving the fact that she’s having a shit time.

It’s like “Katie price to spend Christmas Day alone!”
“Katie Price loses mucky mansion days before christmas!”
Katie Price to spend Christmas without her kids!”

Then a ridiculous headline yesterday : “Huge row erupts on Christmas Day as Katie Price’s kids argue with Peter” ... turns out it was based on a daft instagram video Junior posted showing how he’d pranked his sister with a joke present and she pretended to be annoyed ...

I’m not a fan of Katie Price either but why the venom?

These stories are SOLD to the press by her

Katie needs money. She has little left and is not making much. She creates the stories in the press to keep herself relevant, so she can be paid for promoting things on Instagram and showing up to events and keep earning enough to maintain the lifestyle she likes. Stories about her being on the edge and losing her home give her a wider range of things she can promote, and encourage people to approach her with things she might have rejected in the past.

I have no strong feelings about her at all, she leads the life that she leads. She was a suave business woman, she knows what she's doing.

I think she'd have something new out if there was enough buzz, which there isn't.

I agree that "good business people" diversify etc, but I don't think that should be the definition used to judge whether she was successful or not.

For a time her perfumes, books, TV deals were bringing in a lot of money. She was the brand, her family were the assets, their "stories" the product.

Whether I morally agree with that or not (I don't, it sounds abhorrent) is almost irrelevant - she has managed for two decades or more to sustain herself with nothing but PR.

It's dried up a lot now, but she's clearly still selling (sob) stories to make money, so good luck to her.

I used to like her in the PA days and before. She had a good team around her. However now she is just a car crash.

The 'good business woman' could have been down to the fact that her brother controlled her purse strings.

Im not a fan of anyone who introduces partner after partner to their kids in short spaces of time.

I would save your sorrow for her poor children. She constantly parades men in and out of their lives, is a terrible role model, and clearly only cares about them for how much money/fame she can get out of them.

The older two are old enough to be teased at school/able to see online pictures of her wasted and naked, taking drugs etc etc.

I'm no Peter Andre fan but thank goodness the older two have one sensible parent.

I don't feel sorry for her at all.

I always got the impression (from my limited knowledge of KP) that she never got over her split with peter.

I don't hate her, I dislike her. I think she is a nasty piece of work.

And the "I think she isn't well" line gets tiring after a while. She has enough money to "get help" if she wanted it but I think she never saw herself as a "damaged person" unless there was money to be made from it. Millions of people have severe trauma growing up but don't turn out like her.

Used to quite like her. Used to watch that series with her and Peter and then slowly you could see how horrible she was to him and other people around her. She's a bully and the stories we hear about "oh poor broke Katie, alone at xmas" I believe she feeds to the press as she is an attention seeker.

I do feel very sorry for her kids. I'm grateful most are now with their fathers who love and care for them and that her mum and various nannies were there when Harvey was growing up so he had some stability in his life whilst she was off putting herself first instead of her kids.

She's the architect of her own misfortunue, profligate waster of money, very poor judgement, puts her whole life, including really personal aspects, up for public consumption. What can you say! people react and take sides. I guess she earns money from releasing quite a lot to the downmarket press and social media, does she have to do it???? I think not.

Welshtart Don't you realise part of mental illness is an inability to get help? It's pretty common you know.

as for her being mean to Peter on their reality show...it was the other way around! He was horribly controlling and weird. He didn't want her to go out without him! Ever!

I have always quite liked her. I do feel worried about her at the moment. She's clearly not doing well financially. She's started a YouTube channel and her videos are a bit sad really.

She's smiling but it's not reaching her eyes.

@Shanny81

I don't hate her, or wish ill on her.

At the same time, I don't give a shit that she is in the position she is in, because she has brought it all on herself.

She should be ashamed of herself, squandering and wasting the amount of money she has. Most people would kill for 1% of that money, and 1% of that money would set most people up for life.

She is (and always has been) over-privileged, untalented, spoilt, and precious. She has also courted the press, and been desperate for publicity for a quarter century. So if she thinks she can get off scot-free without being judged for her ridiculous behaviour, and the fact she has demolished over 45 million quid, she can think again!

Do I hate her, and wish bad things and misery on her? No. I don't care about her enough.

Do I feel sorry for her? Not one bit. Again, I don't care about her enough.

Katie Price has only ever truly cared about one thing....... And that's herself.

I don't hate her (I don't know her)...but I do think she as brought alot of it on herself, going from man to man, with all the boyfriends, fiance's , husband's....she seems (from the view we ave of her from her social media and the actual media) to 0ut herself first,

She goes on about her mother being terminally ill ...bu yet instead of making her mother's last bit of time on earth calm and drama free, she seems to lurch from arguement to arguement, drama to drama, relationship to relationship....and the many plastic surgeries to get attention is just astonishing....

I don't ate her, I think she needs to take a step back and focus on herself, her kids, and her dying mum and work on herself and what is really important as she seems to have lost herself and turned into a bit of a joke...(I used to be a fan of hers when she was with Pete, but after they split she's never been the same )

*put herself first

*hate her ..not ate her

🙄 Damn autocorrect 😂

She's the dying ember of first generation reality TV. Result of no counselling from the TV companies on being everyone's darling one day and forgotten the next.
It's quite sad. I'm sure nobody really hates her at all. More, they've forgotten about her til the papers whip up some vitriol.

She exploits her kids for publicity

@BillHadersNewWife

I have had life long mental issues and problems so I know that the first stage is denial but there comes a point,when you HAVE a mental issue, that you get to and then seek help or your family have to get you committed for your own well being.

The issue with her is she is a classic narcissist. She feels she can do no wrong.

As for Peter being controlling and not letting her go out without him? There was a reason behind that.

Every time she went out on her own she got off her face and would try and snog/ fuck anyone with a penis and the next day pics would be all over the papers with her tits out or her tongue down someone who wasn't his throat.

They had very young kids and every time she went out alone it was rinse and repeat. Would you want that? knowing if you let your partner go out by themselves you had to wake up the next day to see , plastered in the papers, them like that? Pics and stories that are there forever? for their kids to find and see?

Or would you want to go with them so they didn't get into that state?

She couldn't be trusted back then to be left to her own devices and still can't.

I think Katie Price is a prime example of "Be nice to people on your way up, as you'll meet them on your way down"

In her prime, she revelled in sounding off about other celebrities, journalists, ex lovers, prominent figures, and now she's crashed and burned they are getting their pound of flesh.

I think she's been a terrible example to her children, a revolving door policy on father figures for them, popping out babies with no emotional security for them. I don't hate her though, she's just got a mess of a life, so I quite pity her really.

I don't like her! And here's why!

She drink drives. She also drives while on a driving ban showing complete disregard for the law.

She leaps from one disastrous relationship to another, without caring about the emotional impact on her children.

She insults her children's fathers to the press, which her older children can read now and her younger children will read in the future. Parents should not do that.

She puts herself through cheap cosmetic surgery abroad for the sake of vanity, each time taking a risk and abandoning her dc for weeks at a time.

She pleads poverty then boasts on social media about all the expensive presents she's got for her dc.

I disapprove of her on every level.

I've never understood the "she's a shrewd businesswoman" and "a good mother" spin.
If she was that shrewd, she wouldn't be in the mess she's in now. She sacked off her brother (who I suspect was the shrewd one) as her financial adviser, and fell out with Carby Claire (who was canny enough to stick with Pete).
She had a good thing going with Peter Andre, but blew that (literally).
And whilst I can't fault her for her parenting with Harvey (apart from teaching him swear words), I don't rate her at all for how she manages the other 4. Everything I've ever seen about her with them
is ALL about her, with them as accessories/props. Fortunately for them, they have their fathers to take up the slack. For all Kieran's faults, he at least seems to have stepped up to the plate with the younger two (who, whilst sweet, appear to be a handful) and Peter offers a stable and "normal" home life for the older two.

And it pisses me off that she has managed to get her driving ban reduced because she "needs to be able to drive." Tough shit - she should have thought about that before. It's not like it's the first time she's been banned/fined.

Welsh a lot of people have had or have mental health issues. There's no ONE experience of that. You can't say your experience is anyone elses' or "there comes a point when you have to seek help"

Not everyone CAN do that.

And as for this statement of yours.

Every time she went out on her own she got off her face and would try and snog/ fuck anyone with a penis and the next day pics would be all over the papers with her tits out or her tongue down someone who wasn't his throat.

I've reported it because it's absolutely revolting.

Don’t dislike her but also have no sympathy for her. I think she is the mistress of her own downfall to be honest and she’s used the press for years to her own gain, unfortunately the tables have turned on her now. She comes across as pretty chaotic - I don’t think it’s all made up by the press to be honest

I thought some of the comments I’ve seen were really nasty.. lots of them along the lines of “serves her right not spending Christmas with her kids”. I mean, lots of us who are divorced parents only spend every second Christmas with our dc. I did a celebration with mine before they went away, then spent the 25th with friends. KP has obviously made a lot of mistakes and bad choices, but crowing at someone else’s misery is unnecessary.

Fair point to report it Bill but she did do that and you can only bury your head in the sand for so long before you need to come for air to see what she was like back then (and now).

You are happy to blame her ex husband for being "controlling" but don't seem to want to accept or acknowledge that she is responsible for all her own actions.

Yes, mental health is an individual issue but you cannot lay all her actions at that door.

As someone who has suffered and gotten back to the other side several times, sometimes by the skin of my teeth, I get tired and cross at people being allowed to get away with being horrible to other people and their own children and it is swept under the "oh she had a bad time growing up/ she has mental issues" excuse carpet.

Its not a "get away with anything" card. She is a grown adult with children but takes no responsibility for her actions.

But hey, she'll carry on drink driving and screaming abuse at her ex's new partners outside schools and she will be again taken no responsibility.

I've no sympathy for her. I pity any man who falls for her, she has no shame or class, her photos in Turkey were 🤮
Put it away FFS.
If she wasn't a celebrity she'd probably have SS involvement.
