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?

Can you link to the video OP?

Some of the girls from the playboy mansion gave an interview that when Harvey was a baby, she left him to go to the playboy mansion in the US for ‘work’ and when she was there she got so inebriated on drugs and alcohol they were afraid she might die.
This is before Pete
I watch those videos on Tiktok and he’s being absolutely horrible to her and she looks really depressed and detached. I’ve never doubted she has mental health problems and Pete made them so much worse. He is/was an insecure man and the way he pressured her for sex was really awful. I don’t like him he’s just got good PR and he’s grown up a bit.

But she has committed crimes like drink & drug driving whilst banned and given up/lost custody of her kids choosing men, surgery, fame and holidays over having a stable life with her children so I don’t see how you can say this is all ‘mens’ fault and she means well and is a great mum. She’s chosen to stay with her current man even thought it’s meant she’s lost almost all her custody. She goes on holiday on all of her kids birthdays, first days of school, she doesn’t put seatbelts on them in the car, she admits she never does homework with them and she has embroiled princess in at least 3 very scary and inappropriate incidents (princess being present or involved with Katie’s man drama).

If a man behaved like Katie has the past 10 years you wouldn’t want your kids having unsupervised access, much of this more recent situation is her own fault. I can’t believe she keeps having surgery, it’s making her look so bizarre and she needs to stop going to cheap surgeons as they do not have her best interests at heart just publicity. I agree she has issues and I do feel sorry for her, but more so for her kids especially the little two

Trixiefirecracker · 01/07/2022 07:32

I think they were awful to each other and sure there could easily be a til tok compilation of KP being an arsehole to Peter too. I mean the woman is vile. As is he.

Strawberries86 · 01/07/2022 07:33

Just watched some clips. He is awful. I never realised.

ReneBumsWombats · 01/07/2022 07:36

Perfect victims anywhere are rare.

Miffee · 01/07/2022 07:38

I'm another 40 odd year old who has fallen into tiktok. This stuff keeps popping up. I paid zero attention to it at the time.

To clarify is what is showing on tiktok now exactly what was shown at the time yet people perceived him as the victim?

charlieturner · 01/07/2022 07:47

I found a site called tattle life with a thread devoted to Katie Price. I was a big fan of hers but reading the wiki about her on there has given me a lot of doubts. Has anyone else read the wiki as it seems to be factual? It seems they were as bad as each other.

Highfivemum · 01/07/2022 07:49

So you have a link to this ? We all never know wot goes on behind closed doors

b0wser · 01/07/2022 07:49

It's quite shocking that ITV2 aired so much downright abusive gaslighting behaviour. The clips on that TikTok page are awful and uncomfortable to watch.

KP seems quieter and calmer back then, she was clearly in quite a vulnerable position.

The managers, blonde and dark haired ladies, were very much team Pete after the divorce and I suspect they had a lot to do with it all.

FlorianImogen · 01/07/2022 07:53

Aren't they both as bad as each other?

brown543 · 01/07/2022 07:53

I confess to having a bit of a soft spot for KP. Even though she makes terrible decisions. I feel, with her, what you see is what you get and she's honest about her life.

I find Emily and Pete very smug. I'm not entirely convinced by their holier than though attitude either.

Earpieced · 01/07/2022 07:54

I just remember what I have read and watched and then later, someone I know who knows her.
katie had a boyfriend when she went into the jungle and Pete was an insecure person. They both decided to monetise their relationship and there were plenty of other awful moments on camera on her TV shows when she was with Kieran and Kris where she is humiliating them and treating them badly. I will never buy that Pete is any kind of victim but she was actually found guilty of revenge porn against Alex Reid and still owes him £25k in damages

Bananarama21 · 01/07/2022 07:55

They were both equally toxic people to each other that was evident to see. However Peter has gone on to have what appears a successful stable marriage. Katie price has had mutilple failed marriages, arrests for drink driving and harassing his ex and his new partner and recently done it again. Katie price is by no means innocent. She is however a very damaged individual who desperately needs help.

I cannot sing and they both can but if they were on BGT I don't think they would get through.

I've just found a YouTube of KP and PA singing a Whole New World without Auto Tune. I never knew this was a thing.

I then searched for the tv version:

So did the audience actually hear the first version or is it to do with the microphones lol?

Gr33ngr33ngr4ss · 01/07/2022 08:00

I think she's one of the earliest victims of reality TV.

The damage caused by living out your life in front of the cameras.

There was no support back then. No #behind.

She was the biggest thing in the UK then fell out of favour. And has been trying to claw that back ever since.

It must be deadly for your mental health.

KneeQuestion · 01/07/2022 08:04

I have never subscribed to the cult of saint peter.

there’s always been a lot of people on MN that had him read and it was discussed lots on here over the years.

KP is a complicated damaged person. She does herself no favours and I admit to judging her in the way she has men around her children. That said, I still view her as the victim.

PA is a massive arse.

the things he said on camera about her, nasty, embarrassing misogynistic things about her body were vile and it says everything about the patriarchal society we live in that not only was he not challenged on any of it, but everyone else joined in.

unsurprising that KP has a diagnosis of PTSD.

Sallypally0 · 01/07/2022 08:04

I’ve always liked Katie, she’s a bloody good mum

You really think she sets a good example to her kids with all the stupid shit she does

Is he still being managed by that Claire? Don't trust her either.

I know her mum stepdad brother and sister seem down to earth . I think she went into business with her brother and he managed her. Not heard of him in her recent programmes. Wonder why?

It doesn’t help that people only support you to earn money from you. Seems like now she is broke she has very few friends around. Unfortunately I think she used to kid herself it was a true friendship and then later find out it wasn’t. So now she trusts no one apart from the truly awful man she is with now who has isolated her from almost everyone else in her life (including kids)
I can’t see it ending well for her she seems to be picking up speed of disasters

I think I recall that brother was involved in her money mismanagement situation. Anyway no he doesn’t work for her anymore and she’s bankrupt. I don’t recall seeing him in any family photos for a while now either.

clare is friends with Pete and Kieran

You listened to that first one and think Price can sing?

Handsnotwands · 01/07/2022 08:17

There’s another clip where he’s with his new wife. Announcing he’s taking her away somewhere on holiday. She mentions she’s already been there and he. Is. FURIOUS. He blames her for spoiling the surprise and displays every abusive and narcissistic trait one after the other in the space of 7 minutes

so yeah. Disgusting little man and still is

goldengirlsoncraic · 01/07/2022 08:19

Is that the real reason Harvey went to college then,cause he was around him.
Makes you wonder about all the "mishaps" she's had while with him.

bro101 · 01/07/2022 08:23

@ReneBumsWombats well I don't know much about singing and didn't want to be rude as I've no clue 😂😂

No.

Harvey went to a Monday-Friday residential school like many profoundly disabled children do.

He is now an adult and has supported independent living/college like many people with his circumstances do.

her questionable relationship decisions aside, she has done a great job with Harvey.
