AIBU to think Katie Price is clearly above the law.

A suspended sentence? One day she will kill someone.

@OneRuleForThem

I don’t get the hostility towards her all the time?? She has apologised for her actions. Do people actually want to see her in jail, her children separated their mother, from this?

Oh that makes it OK then, she said sorry. We will just let all criminals off with it if they apologise and have kids eh?

No she's scum now quite honestly. And will likely be alone in her old age, I'd be embarrassed if she was my mother and likely would go nc with her for all that she's done. Abuse to animals too don't forget that.

@TellySavalashairbrush

I sadly echo those that believe she won't make old bones. Whatever people's opinions she is a mother, daughter and sister.

All repeat criminals have families. So what?

Yes it's interesting how people are going 'but she's a mother!'. I don't see them doing the same for the other roughly 4000 women in prison right now, most of which have children. If they are fine because they feel sorry for what they did and have kids, any takers on taking a couple in to their home and helping them rehab? No, didnt think so. Bet you'd take in kp though to help her.

One rule for kp because she used to be a model.

@ClareBlue

Why hasn't there been a bench warrant issued for all the unpaid fines owed to the Court, or is that only for non famous people too?

Just read on that article @Justmebeingme245 posted, that she’s up in court again next month for enforcement action against the unpaid fines!

But tbh I don’t think that will make a difference, How many times has she been to court regarding her debts? She simply doesn’t care.
The only way I think she will take responsibility for the money she owes is if there is a threat of going to prison.

If not she’ll just carry on doing as she pleases.

I feel very sorry for her children but she should be in prison.

@BarefootHippieChick

I wonder where Katie will be in 10 years time. I think her life is spiralling downward at a rate of knots and she's going to hit rock bottom sooner rather than later.

I am sad to say that I expect she will be dead. Her life is a total mess and she seems not to be able to deal with it, just keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. she will die from a drug overdose most likely - and no one will be very surprised

@Nicknacky

Addicts go to prison every day for their offending. And rightly so. Or do you you think addicts shouldn’t be imprisoned for robbery, shoplifting etc?

Actually where there are sensible alternatives i.e. a commitment too and availability of treatment they often don’t.

They absolutely would if it was their 9th offense of the same nature (dangerous driving). She's had access to the best treatment available for a long time, she's been in and out numerous times but the treatment doesn't seem to work short-term let alone long-term. One of my parents was an addict, he didn't want to change, wouldn't admit anything was wrong and it eventually killed them without dangerous driving added into the mix. She's had chance after chance after chance to change her life and regain some control but she doesn't want to her clearly her children aren't enough of a motivation right now (my parents 3 kids wasn't either). She's running out of chances to change as it doesn't seem like she's going to stop, eventually she'll do something that causes her death or someone else's unless she seriously engages to therapy and rehabilitation. Prison might actually be a good place to start, no access to alcohol (and hopefully drugs) without treatment.

I think its horribly sad the way her life has gone.

However that said - every time you get behind the wheel of a car when you are under the influence of drink or drugs you make that decision - you have a choice, and for most people the shock of the first offense is enough to make them think its not a good idea

How can someone think it is still ok to do so when it clearly is not.

@PegasusReturns you are presuming that she wants to change/recover/rehabilitate.

[quote RoseRedRoseBlue]@PegasusReturns you are presuming that she wants to change/recover/rehabilitate.[/quote]
Yes, and she’s had plenty of chances. Access to treatment that other addicts would die for.
She’s a lost cause, and a disaster to everyone around her.

After nine similar offences they would. Before it got to nine, in fact. I'm baffled she's escaped any jail time at all. As I said upthread though, it's unlikely she'll go 12 months without reoffending based on her track record so maybe she will.

@KaptainKaveman

Hitler had a great relationship with Eva Braun but it didn't stop him being a Nazi. Your line of argument is a total non-starter.

Just checking, has anyone invoked Godwin's Law? No one would actually compare Katie Price to Hitler, surely?

@OneRuleForThem

Gosh, sorry, some of the comments thougj just come across as pure hatred for her, a desire to want her, specifically and singularly, to be punished and be taken away from her children. That’s how some of the posts on here slagging her off come across to me anyway. But tbh I really don’t feel up to trying to explain matters tonight, not to people who will just snipe and question. I pray you all have good blessings.

What makes you think that we take a different view for any other serial offender? If you're aware of anyone else who keeps getting away with similar offending (they do exist) then by all means start a thread about it and we'll come and join you.

Out of interest, does anyone know how she got in to the US? I thought they were really strict on barring criminals, especially where drugs are involved (even minor stuff such as old cautions for possession of cannabis).

@DdraigGoch I wondered about that too!

this is apparently a photo of her car.... How lucky there was no one else on the road

A photo tweeted by police showed a damaged BMW lying on its side across the country road in West Sussex in September

You have to have been driving like crazy for your car to end up on it's side on a country road. I had to slam on brakes/swerve at 70mph, hit the central reservation and my car was still on its (3) wheels

She lives locally, the crash happened approx 10 mins from my home, so yes I would have no problem seeing her jailed if it meant she learnt and wasn't putting other road users in danger. Bizarrely approx 5 mins from home Alan Carr's DH crashed his car into a police car whilst drunk. He's been threatened with a custodial sentence. What a rubbish claim to fame

This woman needs help and I don’t think jail will help her. She is having a mental breakdown I don’t want to judge her

Personally I don’t give a flying fuck if it helps her or not. She’s a habitual criminal, and needs to go to prison.

To be fair nothing else has helped her so maybe jail time would be the kick up the arse she needs to change her ways. Either way her being in jail will help those who she may injure or kill with her erratic driving and dangerous disregard for the law so it's a win in my opinion.

That Alan Carr's husband comment is a good one. He's been told he's most likely going to prison.

'Drayton denied drink driving when he first appeared in court on November 2, but changed his plea to guilty on Tuesday morning. He was freed on unconditional bail until sentencing on January 26 next year.
The court heard Drayton has no previous convictions, and is currently receiving treatment for an “ongoing problem with alcohol”.

No previous convictions.

So why are the two approaches so different?

She seems to be hell bent on self distruction, so far the 'softly softly' approach does not seem to have had any effect on her, perhaps a prison sentence would pull her up sharply enough to make her realise the bloody mess she is in, possibly a year or 2 of living without social media and a hungry press and endless love affairs would actually do her good - I have a feeling that she has no idea anymore that her way of life is totally not 'normal'

Everything apart from jail has been tried and failed. She is a disgrace and needs to go to prison. The people defending her I dont understand at all...
