I wanna be Katie Prices friend

70 replies

KPBestBud · 27/02/2023 19:10

I live very near Kate and I’m the same age. I’m also a very down to earth person and have lived through my fair share of chaos. That’s where most of the similarities end but I feel like she just needs a really good friend. She seems to look for this in her men because I don’t think she feels she can bond as easily with females. I was a bit similar as a teen but now I think I could be the voice of reason, support and female companion she needs.

Yes Im fully aware of how that sounds hence why I would never reach out to her because I have never been one to fan girl on anyone and that’s exactly how it would look. Yet these men she picks up take full advantage of who she is and the status of being a hanger on but that’s ok.

Thats all really. I admire her in many ways especially how she is with Harvey but I am saddened by some of her choices and I wish she could find some nice female friends who would support her. That might lessen the need to rely on user men who are clearly no good for her.

Sorry I don’t know what you’re getting at? I wasn’t banned for anything as far as I know.

I was chatting to Katie yesterday and she thinks you’re a dick and doesn’t want to be friends.

Go volunteer at a women's charity or seek therapy to discover why you like to be a rescuer

You are correct actually I do have a tendency to rescue. I had a problem with needing to save bad men in my teens because I thought I could change them but discovered that doesn’t work. However to want to be a friend to someone isn’t quite the same in my opinion. And actually it wouldn’t have to be me - I’d just like to see her with a lot more support rather than being dragged down all the time.

I imagine she’d be exhausting as a friend.

Actually your probably right. I do already have one who rings me incessantly for advice etc and I am more than happy to give it but she then does the opposite and comes back for more advice to ignore .

She's very damaged, but she's also very damaging.

No. Just because someone is hard work doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be their friend

She does seem to need a good friend. I saw the pictures of her today (linked on here) and it made me feel sorry for her. She hasn't yet realised that women are great company, and you don't need surgery for women - or decent men - to spend time with you. The way she looks now is just a magnet for arseholes.

Turnipworkharder · 27/02/2023 20:01

No women,men or children will ever change Katie.

Best quote today 🙂

This sounds like something written by an impressionable teen fan, not a 44 year woman.

Emmamoo89 · 27/02/2023 20:03

This is weird

Ludo19 · 27/02/2023 20:06

Is your aim to be her friend for good intentions or do you crave media attention also?

Mamai90 · 27/02/2023 20:06

I agree with a PP. There are plenty of women who need your friendship more, go and volunteer at a women's refuge and befriend someone there who literally has no-one in their life and also don't have the millions in the bank.

Yes, KP has issues but there are more people out there REALLY in need of friendship.

But she has and has had all the support in the world

Friends, family, the best professional help money could buy. And none of it has helped. It seems a bit… narcissistic-y to think a few natters over a cuppa can cure such deep seated issues that in-patient treatment with world-leading physiatrists couldn’t make a dent in

Some people just need a friend to get them through a wobble, and others are deeply, deeply damaged to the point of being beyond fixing

There really are some crazy people on here

runrabbitrunrabbitrun55 · 27/02/2023 20:11

I’ve felt this for a long time too, op. I think she seems genuine-calls a spade a spade. She needs love and support. We all do!

JizzlordTheCat · 27/02/2023 20:16

Wasn’t she recently in the press for having sex with her friend’s boyfriend and telling him to remove her tampon first?

She’s not friendship material.

IncessantNameChanger · 27/02/2023 19:25

Ah I like her too. I don't care what anyone says, she is a warrior for Harvey. I respect her for that.

Is she?

God no. I can’t think of anything worse. In fact that would be a downside and I’d be trying to avoid that. Hypothetically of course because I’ve no intention of ever reaching out. I’m not that weird!
