I understand Harvey has disabilities and so won’t be cognitively a grown up, but is it just me who thinks having your adult son pushed up against your bare breasts in a particularly small bikini is a little inappropriate?

I also don’t understand how she manages him on holiday - given she can’t manage him at home? Does she take a carer with her?

Katie Price puts on a busty display in a racy bikini

Showing off the results of her recent facelift, the former glamour model, 46, set pulses racing in her revealing two-piece as she topped up her tan.

I think most things about KP are inappropriate 🤔

Bowies · 11/10/2024 21:08

Just a picture of him cuddling his Mum, can’t see what you’re on about here OP. It’s you sexualising it. Looks like a normal bikini also.

You haven’t mentioned publicity at all until later. She’s in the public eye especially going to be attention on holiday shots due to her court issues.

I thought he was at a college? Maybe I’m just not up to date - you seem to be so perhaps you could enlighten me.

It is a further education specialist center so you were correct.

AlwaysRaining24 · 11/10/2024 20:25

You didn’t give an answer though. You just questioned my line of questioning.

I did though. You asked if you were BU, I said yes YABU. There’s a bit of a theme here between you and other posters, isn’t there? Clearly not getting the responses you hoped for.

She’s starting to remind me of poor Amy Winehouse.

I thought that too. She looks very skinny, with very little muscle. A shadow of her young self, setting aside all the surgery.

MasterBeth · 11/10/2024 22:03

AlwaysRaining24 · 10/10/2024 09:45

It just made me cringe a bit - she is obviously posing for “leaked” photos in a private setting and trying to look her best. Perhaps I’m a prude.

None of your damned business. A mum cuddling her son.

AlleycatMarie · 11/10/2024 22:10

Honestly, I’m not really sure why you are so bothered by whether she has a carer there for Harvey or not? Also, nothing inappropriate with this photo.

IceCreamIsTheDream · 11/10/2024 22:31

I like Katie Price! I can't explain it. Maybe it's because she adores her kids, or she's just gutsy and says things how they are, or maybe it's because of the constant criticism she receives and weathers daily. Or maybe it's because she got out there and made money for herself however she damn well pleased without fearing judgement! Or maybe it's because she's clearly vulnerable and flawed and always makes mistakes, and is more human than most plastic celebs! Maybe I feel sorry for her. Maybe I envy her 'i don't give a shit' attitude! Who knows, but I'm a fan!!! 😜

I give up

4 oit of her 5 children have been taken out of her care.

She doesn't pay her bills.

She is a double bankrupt but continues to spend on holidays and surgeries.

She is doing illegal things behind the scenes with her finances, drugs, care of pets and her shocking dangerous driving record.

She has no money left.

She is taking unnecessary risks wirh surgery.

She is not a great mum.

RobertaFirmino · 11/10/2024 22:49

I feel sorry for her. She's clearly unwell and probably has been all her life. She does look very thin atm but that's what stress can do to people. As for the pic, bloody hell, it's just a son cuddling his mum. And it's Cyprus for goodness sake. You can have a decent cheap holiday there. Perhaps Harvey really enjoys the sunshine and the pool, maybe he gets fixated on it - none of us actually know, do we?

Maybe you're just not a very good judge of character? 😂😉

I don't think the picture of her and Harvey is inappropriate.

I think though I get the juxtaposition that is making the OP unsettled. She's had a career as a topless model, she did playboy and such like, which is why she has the massive fake breasts, and she now does Onlyfans. So it's not surprising that KP posing in a bikini doesn't immediately conjure virtue and nurture vibes.

Oh Hello Katie. How nice to see you. Grin

JournalistEmily · 12/10/2024 07:22

Its just a cuddle and she has big breasts. What’s she supposed to do? Not cuddle him?!

Lex345 · 12/10/2024 07:25

Any photo of KP makes me feel sad now; she was beautiful before all the surgeries and somehow seems to have got addicted to more and more surgery. I honestly think there needs to be a closer look at the ethics of repeated plastic surgery (I am not bashing surgeries-if people want these, fine; but there surely has to be some kind of assessment for mental wellness to give true informed consent). Wasn't there a lady in the 90s who died after repeated breast enhancement? I can't remember her name-but at the time, I'm sure there was talk of regulating it more.

I see KP as a deeply flawed human who lacks an anchor or deep friendship genuinely invested in her wellbeing. She hasn't got that and her behaviour has spiralled because of it.

I don't know lots of facts and stories about her, so I could be way off the mark, but I see someone who desperately needs help and genuine kindness from someone who isn't interested in her money, fame or a sexual relationship. Her relationship with the press seems to be very much love/hate. Or perhaps it is necessary financially.

I hope she gets the help she needs, repairs the relationships she is able to and finally finds some peace, preferably for her sake out of the limelight.

I don't see a great deal wrong in the photo on its own; but realise there is background history that the OP is probably contextualising it with.

She is on ozempic. It's nothing to do with stress. They were seen on her kitchen counter when she was doing some sort of video.

Thanks my adult dc went there it’s only ever for 3 years

My son went to. Amazing place and he learned so much. Perfect stepping stone for the next stage of his life. My son was a38 week placement though.

I would feel sorry for her too if she hadn't damaged so many other people's lives.

In the words of one of her exes - Leo- kp isn't wired properly.

That's why these photos with Harvey concern.

Toomanysquishmallows · 12/10/2024 09:06

I don’t think she is a brilliant mum , one of her exes girlfriends had to get a restraining order against her .

The list of her antics is endless.

There are piles of comments on here making excuses for her. It shows an inherent kindness in people, which isn't necessarily a bad thing - but its not a good thing either. KP has an incredible support network in her family, she's not some lost soul by any logic.

The whole #bekind thing is usually misdirected IMO, making it insincere. People like KP need to be encouraged to take responsibility - that would be a kindness.

YellowphantGrey · 12/10/2024 09:53

LittleTalkingMan · 10/10/2024 09:56

The wording DM used makes me feel physically sick!
its always a “busty display” or a “leggy display” like women are constantly trying to ensnare men!

This. The Daily Fail always report on any woman this way, and always use sexually charged language.

She has made some very bad decisions and poor choices but so have most people in life. The difference is, hers is played out across the gutter press and they have made her into this figure where it's ok to berate and be nasty and to openly mock her, particularly for men to be nasty towards her.

She's constantly being berated for being a bad parent and being sexual towards her child for cuddling him (that's how normal the degrading of her has become) yet you hardly ever hear about Dwight Yorks involvement, other than praising him for getting away from her.

She hasn't helped herself and yes she has purposely posed for these photos but on the other hand, why not? Why not get the photo out yourself and earn money than having the press ready to jump on you at any unknown time?

I'm sure I read that she said herself, once she releases a photo of herself somewhere, the value of it goes down so any unexpected pics, unless showing something damaging, aren't as lucrative plus she doesn't get paid for those.

Daniel Radcliffe and other celebs have also worn the same jacket for 12 months every time they left the house as this made photos worthless so press stopped bothering them.

Judge her all you want OP but stop buying into the mysoginistic trope the Daily Fail print and call her inappropriate for hugging her son whilst wearing a Bikini.

JasmineTea11 · 12/10/2024 09:53

How anyone can read a 'paper' that has headlines about "busty displays" is beyond me.
I thought we'd moved on since the 70s, clearly not.
KP is odd, cuddling your DC isn't.

Autumnights · 12/10/2024 10:02

She has a fantastic figure . I dint blame her for showing it off . If you've got it - flaunt it .

I’m just interested in the logistics. At home in her documentary she had a carer to help. He’s in a residential school as he can’t manage at home and travelling with a person like Harvey must be a challenge owing to his behaviour. There’s also photos of her with just her BF so presumably someone is watching Harvey as he doesn’t seem capable of being left alone.

Also thinking how much it much all cost in light of her bankruptcy too.

Travelling with a person like Harvey, I think you have the problem here!!
Yes he is a disabled adult person not a person like THIS. You are rude and may want to brush up on disability awareness and inclusion!
