To only just realise it was Peter Andre in the wrong not Katie P!

This is a random thread..if you arent interested in Katie and Peter please dont bother reading...
Just had a binge watch of old episodes of Americas Next top model on youtube and it showed me Katie and Peter stateside - their opd documentary..I used to watch it and love them as a couple together. Was gutted when they split but like everyone else at the time I remember thinking how awful Katie was and how she was in the wrong during that infamous massive row they had in that shop in LA.
It pops back up and so I watch it again, near in mind this is after years of me seeing ir. And cant believe it! Its like a brand new argument - completely saw this in a different way.
Pete was the onein the wrong, not Katie. In fact he was awful, actually abusive? Swearing at her calling her a f*king b**ch, "a cow", "you think youre gonna get away with it?"
Bleeding hell, if this isnt abusive I dont know what is! Im more in shock because I remember all the stick KP got, the hate campaign and the "team Pete" . He deserves a medal and all that bollocks.
It just doesnt make sense. How can anyone see it for what itnwas? In fact watching it again, KP hardly spoke..it was all Pete winding her uo, qlmost goading her and then blasting her when she bit back at him..Im just really shocked I guess....😶 makes you wonder how things can get so easily misrepresented.
What does everyone think?

Yep I went right off Peter soon after the split. Everyone thinks that Pete and Emily are some Gods and Katie is the devil.

Katie is not the devil, she just be in prison.

LetitiaLeghorn · 01/07/2022 04:19

Oops, she SHOULD just be in prison.

Kitkatcatflap · 01/07/2022 04:25

Pete is a cheesy one hit wonder who used her to springboard his 'celeb' career. I think he binned her off when he thought he was big enough to make it on her own. Its not surprising his new wife is much younger and was a fan.

Yet his new life with 'hands on hips, turn n grin at the camera Emily' is nauseous. All the rare glimpses into their life. All his 'if Princess wants to go on Love Island'. 'If Junior wants a music career'. He would sell his soul for a byline.

I think Katie Price is her own worst enemy, but she has dire taste in men and after all the public let downs she never seems to learn.

Her recent show about renovating 'mucky mansion' was so honest re: the anxiety, depression and dread she felt about her former home. Walking around the place she spoke about the relationship breakdown, the thefts, the vandalism - people breaking in and leaving the taps on deliberately flooding the house. The broken windows that Harvey had smashed in temper. But she came across as likeable, funny and hopeful.

He's so awful to her. It's really hard to watch. Apparently he's blocked the main tik tock account showing it so he must be aware if it. He was spun as the good guy when he's appalling.

LovelyYellowLabrador · 01/07/2022 04:50

I always thought he was awful to her and couldn’t understand why others couldn’t see it

that row in the Segway shop was was vile

i bet Emily parents were gutted

Vikinga · 01/07/2022 05:05

I didn't follow so much but I really like KP. She seems completely open and honest and she absolutely loves her kids and family. PA seems quite arrogant and like he thinks he is amazing when all he has done is one cheesy song.

I can’t be the only one who remembers him doing the summer radio roadshows and school tours back in the early-mid 1990s! I’m not going to say anymore as the thread will be taken down, but since reaching adulthood and gaining the perspective of time, I’ve not been able to stand him.

Some sleaze there?

"I didn't know he was awful to her. That's sad. Is that why she keeps breaking the law"

Stupid post. She has addiction and MH issues going on. There's people not put in prison every day, who've committed violent etc offences, because of similar mitigating circumstances.

I can remember when he'd tell her constantly that no-one would want her because she was a Mother of three. There's one episode were she is flashing and he says "they wouldn't want to go near it if they smelt it". I've always remembered it because it's part of the script misogynists use against women. When Katie tried to challenge the negative headlines about her, with the truth, he didn't seem to like it. He never counteracted anything negative said about her and was never honest about her relaunching his career. Katie is very damaged.

"I remember her talking to him like he was a piece of shit on a chat show once,"
Knowing more now about emotional abuse and how victims use public places to hit back, I'd never judge on snapshots.
It's easy for victims of emotional abuse to come across as unhinged. Pete was very toxic. I think as we get older we recognise abuse. There was a lot of misogyny on television. The young women on Geordie Shore and other reality programmes were also subject to abuse but it made good television.

No nice 40 year old man cops off with his friends 19 year old daughter.

bro101 · 01/07/2022 05:57

I've never liked him. So fake. Whatever does Emily see in him?

LetitiaLeghorn · 01/07/2022 06:01

"I didn't know he was awful to her. That's sad. Is that why she keeps breaking the law"

Stupid post. She has addiction and MH issues going on.

She's been repeatedly banned from driving and is now on a suspended sentence for drink driving with no licence. She's back in court on 5 July for yet another driving offence. She's just lucky she hasn't seriously injured, never mind killed, someone. Mental health issues do not make you incapable of understanding about breaking the law. So if she is incapable of controlling her actions, then she should be suitably confined not constantly let off with fines.

I've seen the videos, this one of Dwight Yorke is horrendous.

I honestly don't know how she hasn't had a complete and utter mental breakdown with the pressure she must be under.

She can be her own worst enemy but her heart is in the right place.

StrangeCondition · 01/07/2022 06:19

Lol at those posters saying she's a good mum!

Beefcurtains79 · 01/07/2022 06:20

‘A bloody good mum’ ? Social services clearly disagree with that as she has lost custody of all of her children.

RBKB · 01/07/2022 06:24

@TruJay I know people who know her. She's a really awful mum. Just sayin.

ItsSnowJokes · 01/07/2022 06:24

StrangeCondition · 01/07/2022 06:19

I know right! It's as if they all know something that social services doesn't! She is a terrible mum, who uses her children for her own financial gain and doesn't give a shit about the kids. She prefers drugs and men to her kids and she has shown it blatantly for years.

How she had the cheek to say in court that she couldn't go to prison because of her children and then fucks off on holiday the next day missing one of the children's birthday in the process I will never know.

girlmom21 · 01/07/2022 06:25

They're both awful people.
Seeing him with his very young and intelligent wife is sad. She could have done so much better.

goldengirlsoncraic · 01/07/2022 06:30

ItsSnowJokes · 01/07/2022 00:28

Also she has lost custody of 4 of her children as SS deemed her a risk. She has 2 hours a week with them and it has to be supervised and the latest bloke can't be around them. So I think that shows exactly what she is really like.

Do you know why he's not allowed around the kids

Bighairydogs · 01/07/2022 06:32

I never understood what Emily sees in him. All very weird.

Beefcurtains79 · 01/07/2022 06:37

She spelt her own child’s name wrong when she wished him a happy birthday, onlinebof course- from her latest drug-fuelled bender holiday with her boyfriend whom they all hate.

I’ve never been keen on him and thought Katie got so much stick and the blame for everything. I’ve always liked Katie, she’s a bloody good
mum. Very strong dealing with what she has.
I haven’t seen the clips or programme you mention but I’ve always felt she got a rough deal in the aftermath of their relationship.

I know the trainer through a mutual friend and she said he was happy to go along with the rumours because it was publicity for him but nothing actually happened. Just another man with a giant ego 🙄

TooManyAnimals94 · 01/07/2022 06:41

Quoted wrong post- that was in reply to the comment about the dressage trainer.

Well he says to say that as his wife would have gone nuts if not! Not that he seems to care about his wife if he is happy for the rumours to continue for publicity.
