Peter Andre

[Thiswinterhaslastedyonks]

What are your thoughts on him?

When I was younger I thought he was the nicest guy, after seeing the Tik toks etc and thinking about it, I’m really not sure

Smug, greasy and I suspect has a nasty side.

I do agree with smug and greasy though!

I don’t mind him. He’s very cheesy. I think his marriage to Katie was quite a toxic pairing and their manager was far too involved and interfering. He probably kept her on the straight and narrow if truth be told. One thing I’ve noticed from Katie’s ‘Mucky Mansion’ program is how her their daughter Princess is much more mature than Katie is. It’s like she is the adult in the relationship, she’s very self aware for a teenager.

I have recently been watching Katie's old shows (I know I know). They where clearly in a very Toxic relationship. Can't say I particularly like Peter. But Katie's seemed to be a good Mother and Dote on her children no?.
As a person she just seems damaged. I feel bad for her. In her therapy program she talks about being raped in a park at 7 years old. That is devastating and is bound to make you have future issues with picking the wrong men, toxic relationships, body image, depression and alcohol abuse.

She is very damaged I agree. It’s sad. She continually makes terrible life choices and seems to be a magnet for awful, abusive much younger men who just want to sponge off her and use her fame to further their own careers.

@Moonicorn

Again, your sad story - nothing to do with PA. And doesn’t give you the right to imply somebody else is the same because ‘once they said something in a tone you didn’t like’ or whatever.

It's not a sad story at all, it ended with my getting the hell out of dodge and being inoculated against blokes who are professionally "nice" and "love their kids".

And I have as much right as the next person to opine on a thread where we were specifically invited to comment on what we thought at PA. Certainly as much as you do.

Moonicorn, I'm not sure 'rights' come into it

She had a nasty rant about her on her Instagram. It was around the time Emily was publicising a book she’d written on mental health for teenagers. In an interview I think Emily was asked about her relationship with Katie’s
childrem and she replied that she tried to act as a big sister and to provide some consistency. That’s all she said but it provoked the attached response. Emily sensibly did not retaliate.

Again though. Just because someone is nice to randos in the street or at the pub or in the local supermarket or amongst their friends does not invalidate the abuse their "loved ones" face at home.

I'm so sick of people perpetuating this "he's a nice guy" lie (not talking about Peter here btw). How many times do you need to be told?

My abuser is "a really nice chap" to everyone else (literally everyone else)

Every time yet another woman is killed by her BF/husband the friends and neighbours come out to say how shocked they are "but he's such a nice bloke".

Just fucking stop invalidating abuse just because "he's been nice to me"

Again before someone comes at me, I am not talking about Peter here as if he's about to murder someone of course. I'm talking specifically about your language how sick I am of the amount of people who will effectively dismiss a partner's experience with their superficial experiences l.

"I know they are. Many women are also riven with internalised misogyny which manifests in their inability to countenance that even if you dislike a woman she can still be the victim of a narcissistic abusive man. So much so that you completely missed that so focused were you on Katie Price. You can’t even admit to maybe they were both abusive."

Very well said @Eyerollcentral

That last part "we all have opinions, that's why forums exist" is exactly true. So why is it when anybody comments anything even remotely in favour of KP over on your tattle thread they are immediately lynched and accused of being a "FM".

We are all allowed our opinions - perhaps you need to remind your fellow tattle witches of this. One rule for the KP haters/obsessors - another rule for the rest of us who have lives and would just like to voice our opinions without getting attacked.

Yes, yes, yes.

”Oooh, he’s so lovely!”
“He can’t do enough to help”
”He’s always so kind and thoughtful!”
”He’s always so happy!” (Never saw him crack a smile myself).

Sadly, I have experience of the kind of man who sends flowers and calls colleagues and family members (parents and siblings), who are going though a hard time, offers and gives practical help and emotional support.

But me? Nothing. Just more shit and told to stop moaning and the classic, “I have no sympathy for people who don’t help themselves.” That only seemed to extend to me though.

People never see how they are behind closed doors, not even their extended family.

I've nothing against him.
If I had to weigh it up I'd say KP is more of a tw*t
than he is.

He seems to be a man that's grabbed every last penny out of projecting himself as the worlds biggest 'nice guy' when I think there's easily enough online to demonstrate he's the exact opposite and an insecure and unpleasant little man who speaks horribly and manipulatively to the women he has relationships with and is cringe and smarmy to boot.

I remember a clip of him speaking to his current wife when she was very young and making her feel awful over a holiday booking, watching her desperately trying to pander to his feelings and stop him getting angry (even though he was the one being appalling) only confirmed for me exactly what I'd already seen watching the way he spoke to Katie Price. I'm no fan of hers but he seemed not to be able to cope that she was more famous than him. If his current wife had become a famous TV doctor as she clearly tried to do I expect it would've gone the same way.

I remember seeing someone refer to him as Peter "did you know I love my kids" Andre once and that made me chuckle. I'm sure he does but goodness me doesn't he want everyone to know that he's the better parent.

Officially twat then.

The one who lost the court battle with Colleen Rooney described him as Chipolata. I cannot undo this info.

Jesus Christ @Moonicorn what's wrong with you? When someone posts their experience of abuse you don't dismiss it with "oh well that's your sad story"

And actually no it's not just her sad story, people do it too often, just like the old "isolated incident" line when abuse turns deadly. No, it's not one sad story and no it's not an isolated incident. The abuse huge amount of women have to face from men is at epidemic levels and that is because of the amount of misogyny and woman hatred in society that these men are being raised with. These "one sad stories" are all connected so let people connect the dots without dismissing them. It needs addressing ASAP and it won't ever be addressed if it's not first acknowledged.

Who is say "all men must be perfect at all times"? Show me where?

And also this thread is about Peter. The fact that so many posters are bringing Katie's behaviour into this is indicative of the fact that we cannot talk about things that effect women without some asshole trying to derail discussions by butting in with their completely irrelevant "women do it too" or "NAMALT" takes. And their embarrassing insistence on saying things like "imagine if a man did what this woman did, there'd be uproar". Come the fuck on, the only double standards here are coming from you, in that no way are you popping on to posts about female abusers to remind people "umm hey guys, don't forget that some men do this too"

If there's more uproar when a man does something there's a reason for that so just let people share their experiences and piss of with your dismissive finger wagging.

Hear hear. Thank you.

He is happy. His wife is happy. Their kids are happy and well adjusted and well mannered. So who cares what anyone else thinks. We do not know any of them only what is portrayed in the press or on the tv. Not a true reflection. None of our business.

Exactly @Murraydeservedit

And I'm so sorry you've experienced it too. You aren't alone and you do deserve to be supported and helped by the people in your life ❤️

Thank you @Thepeopleversuswork I appreciate that.

I know it might seem strange getting worked up on a thread titled "Peter Andre" (I literally never think about him and haven't watched any tv show with him on) but it's not necessarily about just his behaviour. It's the dismissive responses on thread after thread..conversation after conversation..news report after news report.

I mean seriously, how many times do people need to be told?

Fantastic post @Smth

I think the white land rover is the nail in the coffin for me!

Thank you @LizzieSiddal ❤️

Incidentally, I would love to hear a what they think about the accent Jr puts on.

I’ve seen him being interviewed and he speaks like he grew up on the estates in South London, not in leafy Surrey attending expensive private schools.
