If I was Peter Andre I would be suing Coleen Rooney lawyers for dragging him into the WAG shitshow !! I think it is disgusting that they have stooped so low to publicly humiliate him !!
He is a kind ,professional guy who doesn’t deserve this .

He seems a nice enough chap who isn't awfully bright. A wiser man would have seen the dreadful KP for what she is.

His current wife seems lovely and a wonderful stepmother to his kids with KP. God knows they need some stability.

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 12/05/2022 23:14

I think he will be so pleased. No publicity is bad publicity. He is fame hungry and desperate to keep his mush in the public eye.

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 12/05/2022 23:18

I also think it's creepy he is nearly 20 years older than his wife and as much as she 'shuns' the limelight, she has a column in a trashy mag and is also happy been seen at photographed events.

He does seem like a sweet guy, I feel bad that the chipalata comment has been revived.

Not sure what the big deal on the chipolata is, everyone loves them?

DaisyQuakeJohnson · 12/05/2022 23:38

This case isn't about Peter Andre. In fact the rush to try to 'make it about him' smacks of a publicity or redirection stunt.
As for the 'it would be awful if it happened to a woman' - yy it would be and it happens every single day. In fact, the Daily Mail which is running an article quoting Pete talking about the case - has an entire sidebar devoted to commenting on women's shapes, sizes, etc. A woman can't walk down the street without 'flaunting her pins' Hmm
So spare me the fake outrage that a man who has encouraged some vile press against his ex wife which often focuses on the size of her boobs has been mentioned for five minutes in a court case which touched on much more important issues. I wonder if some of the other celebrities mentioned are paying their PRs to divert attention away from their scandals.

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 12/05/2022 23:43

I thankfully don't know what size PA willy is, thank christ.

But that man is creepy, teated KP like shit, dropped Harbey as soon as he could and managed to creepily marry a woman 20 years younger than him.

He has never been nice. KP isn't nice. But neither is he.

Leopards don't change spots.

He really loves his kids though.

Pretty sure if any bloke publicly made reference to a ladys vagina and compared it to anything, there would be outrage. Or not even printed. It seems fair game for men but not women. (Shouldn't be for either)

Exactly…it wouldn’t be printed! Imagine if a female celebrities vagina described as the channel tunnel ! The uproar would be unanimous!

Back in 1994, Roseanne Barr said on Saturday Night Live that her ex, Tom Arnold, had a three inch penis.

he responded "What's small? Hell, even a 747 looks small if it lands in the Grand Canyon."

their war of words was widely reported

DaisyQuakeJohnson · 13/05/2022 00:03

Awe the sweet naivety that thinks there would as much coverage if a man said it about a woman ... when women face this every single day and there are no threads or articles filled with exclamation marks proclaiming about it. It feels as though MN has been inundated with posters who have dropped in from another planet. Is it PH again? Although the tone and word choice seems distinctly younger.

JaniceBattersby · 13/05/2022 00:05

You cannot sue someone for something they said in the confines for a courtroom, even if it isn’t true. Statements made in court have absolute privilege which is a complete defence for defamation.

If Andre were to sue Vardy for her original comments made outside the courtroom, the the onus would be on her to prove them, not on him to disprove them.

FallopianTubeTrain · 13/05/2022 00:14

Iamnotokifyouarenotok · 12/05/2022 22:19

Because it’s Rooneys lawyers that have used this quote as evidence that Vardy is a nasty piece of work ….I just think it is really awful to belittle someone who has absolutely no relevance to this case !

It is absolutely relevant to the case.

Rooney made a statement that stories had been sold to the press and the only 'account' that had access to those stories was Vardy's.
Vardy is bringing a case against Rooney for libel on the basis that someone reading that would interpret that statement as being that Vardy was the one that sold the stories.
A defence that can be made made against an accusation of libel is that, on the balance of probabilities (note, not beyond reasonable doubt) the statement made by Rooney was true.
Vardy is (now) claiming that is was the PR woman who sold the stories and that she wasn't involved.
Any demonstrable incidence where Vardy has sold stories to the press in the past is therefore absolutely relevant to Rooney's team showing that 'on the balance of probabilities' the statement made by Rooney was true. It's not about what Vardy may have said, its about establishing a pattern of behaviour in relation to her selling stories to the sun.

It is awful for poor Peter Andre. He seems to have dealt with it exceptionally well. It's really a shame that this sort of kiss and tell bollocks was ever deemed newsworthy.

@palmplantcirca1980s i just did a proper snort of laughter at your Vince Fontaine comment 😂😂

He can't sue Rooney's lawyers. This is about a comment Vardy made in a kiss and tell interview many years ago. The comment may have been forgotten but it was already out there. It is absolutely legitimate for Rooney's lawyers to use this to show Vardy's behaviour. And, of course, no-one can be sued for defamation based on things said in court because anything you say is protected by privilege.

I saw the thread title and instantly thought, ‘He Really Loves His Kids!’

Me too.Grin

willstarttomorrow · 13/05/2022 00:56

The grown up me agrees, it is not okay for his penis size to be dragged into this. However the real me thinks he is a fame hungry leech who has given up his privacy for money and recognition for a good few decades now so cannot have it all ways. The nice guy stuff is based on what (although he does love his kids)? I did not watch his reality shows but remember a lot of reports about bullying and gas lighting behaviour. He has been very quick to get into the press talking about feeling vulnerable rather than doing the sensible thing and just ignoring it. He loves publicity- he is only really famous because of his ex-wife, not because of his one hit back in the 90s. Whilst she is a train wreck, she is obviously very vulnerable and seems quite honest.

I admit I do not know PA personally but in all the (extensive) media coverage that he himself has driven, nothing has suggested to me he is 'a nice guy'. Certainly not an axe murderer but a self obsessed, self important narcissist maybe.

GoodJanetBadJanet · 13/05/2022 00:57

If it was a women and the size of her parts we would be screaming misogyny.’

We would yes. Is that ok?
Yes, of course it is.
People never seem to see or acknowledge it when it's the other way though..
Why should he be dragged into it?
Just because men comment negatively on women, doesn't make it automatically OK for women to do the same.
It's not a competition over which side can be the biggest arsehole.

TinaYouFatLard · 13/05/2022 01:16

I think he feels pretty secure in the knowledge that if he had a small dick, KP would have made sure this was common knowledge ages ago! The fact that she said it was as big as the Sky+ remote gives him a lot of credibility. 😂

Siameasy · 13/05/2022 01:21

I’m sure he will cope. It’s just words.

Where does '' It's just words:'' end then?

TheThreadisMildlyAmusing · 13/05/2022 02:31

Well, I like chipolatas and I really, really love my kids.

KermitlovesKeyLimePie · 13/05/2022 02:43

@JudgeJ Speaking of pretty sights, if anyone should be suing anyone, they should all be suing the court sketch artist!

Kitkatcatflap · 13/05/2022 02:48

I loathe his fake nice guy image. He is a cheesy one hit wonder who would have been nothing without Katie Price.

He is forever in the press - flouting his opinion, lifestyle, kids. He would go to the opening of a drain. You live by the sword etc......

noodlezoodle · 13/05/2022 02:54

You're angry at the wrong people. CR's lawyers are referring to a newspaper story that is part of the public record. It's the same as if they're referring to any published news article, novel or tweet.

If you want to be angry at someone, be angry at Rebecca Vardy for giving the interview in the first place.

Dita73 · 13/05/2022 04:49

He’s a prat. He’s also thick as pig shit as are the two morons who are dragging a petty bitch fight through the courts. All of them need their bloody heads banging together and need to be told to get over themselves. They should have a look at what’s going on in the Ukraine and get some perspective. Why news programmes are even covering this is baffling to me. They shouldn’t get any attention. It’s exactly what they want

Whatever you have to say about the guy, one thing is for sure - Peter Andre Really Loves His Kids.
