I think that Peter Andre treated Katie badly and now it seems like the kids have turned on her?

Shes not allowed to be on Princess' show apparently

I dont think he treated her badly at all

She's a car crash and while Ive read numerous threads excusing her by way of saying she's got this or that disorder, or she had this or that trauma, the bottom line is she is an adult and responsible for herself and her behaviour and her children have been badly parented by her.

She has killed numerous pets through neglect, its only by luck her children havent been severely physically harmed although they probably have emotionally.

It's her show not her mum's, she has had enough shows on her.

ohyesido · 10/08/2025 15:32

I think Katie has brought it on herself and Princess is trying desperately to defend her mother

Snorlaxo · 10/08/2025 15:33

I don’t think he’s treated her badly.

I totally understand why Princess wouldn’t want her mum muscling in on her future plans. Just because her mum was on page 3, it doesn’t mean that she wants the same and to be used by her mum to relaunch mum’s career.

Her mum has well documented problems with bankruptcy, drink driving, string of boyfriends/husbands and animal mistreatment. They lived in a house called “mucky mansion” iirc It must be difficult being online or going to school and everyone knowing about your unstable childhood.

His behaviour towards her on their reality show was alarming to say the least. Angry, aggressive, downright nasty and controlling behaviour. Very concerning that so many on here cannot see it!
Im not saying Katie is a perfect parent but Andre is vile.

Greenqueen40 · 10/08/2025 15:55

I can't believe people are saying he didn't treat her badly! Did anyone watch the reality show at home with them?? He's a vile individual

Parksinyork · 10/08/2025 15:55

I don’t know what has happened now but I thought all of her children were removed by SS.

MrsLizzieDarcy · 10/08/2025 15:57

She's a drug addict and has an addiction to surgery. She doesn't have custody of any of her children, Harvey has been shunted off to live with 24/7 carers and she can't even keep her pets alive. She's a disgrace of a human being and a mother. Peter Andre is a decent man who has had a much more successful second marriage with a well educated and intelligent woman. My money is on KP being the issue here....

MounjaroMounjaro · 10/08/2025 15:58

Why would any of us want our mum on our show, if we were just starting off in a career? KP has so much experience in talking to the media and being interviewed on shows - maybe her daughter felt she wanted to do something for herself, where she wasn't connected to her mum.

nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 10/08/2025 16:00

I think more people will watch The Princess Diaries if Pet-abuser Pricey was involved.
She's car crash after all.

Unfortunately I can't concentrate on a word she says due to her constant teeth licking habit.
Notice Tanya - Cheshire Housewife woman has the same issue (with added lisp 😶‍🌫️) so it must be a Turkey teeth thing 😬

Labubus · 10/08/2025 16:00

I’ve always felt a bit sad for KP. She’s obviously got plenty of faults, but I can’t believe how far she’s fallen. She was once on the cover of every magazine and had multiple TV shows, yet nobody will touch her with a barge pole now. Where did all that money go?

I used to watch her shows and wouldn’t be surprised if she had autism. Not that that would excuse her poor behaviour, but it may explain certain traits in her.

Kangarude · 10/08/2025 16:01

Are you going to start a thread about each of the fathers of her children?

MouldyCandy · 10/08/2025 16:01

Princess has signed to the same management company as Peter, who are producing this TV show. After the KP/PA split, PA's management refuse to work with KP hence why she's not on Princess's show.

youreactinglikeafunmum · 10/08/2025 16:01

For me its how peter treated her on that documentary which shows me that hes a shit person

There's some talk a out his manager having an input in the show, and having had a part to play in destroying Katie's image

She is a mess, there's no doubting it. Shes gotten many things wrong and hasn't changed her ways, its not good and I dont judge anyone for disapproving of her 🤷‍♀️

But I cant help but feel that shes also a victim and that Peter's impact on their kids has helped contribute to the rift

I would say that she never abandoned Harvey, when she really could've though. That for me, makes me respect her a little.

I always thought Peter was foolish to get involved with Katie Price in the first place.

socks1107 · 10/08/2025 16:10

I met her, had to spend 3 hours in her company and she was attention seeking, all about her sort of person. As a young adult starting my own life I wouldn’t want that rail roading all over my plans either.
cant comment on the documentary but PA seems to have had a happy second marriage and KP currently has none of her children in custody. I’m not sure the issue was PA here

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 10/08/2025 16:11

I watched the first episode to see what the fuss was about. It was mildly pleasant but felt very old-fashioned.
Princess includes her mum in the narrative, a lot, and with huge affection. She might not appear in person, but she’s discussed a fair bit. So there is some balance.
I think Peter was very unpleasant in those early shows with Katie, and she is hard to contain.
So I think she would have been a huge distraction here in lots of ways, every scene would have been about her.
Both kids are very pleasant and I have a feeling Pete’s wider family and Emily have had steadying influences. Princess did mention how much her and her brother had adored Kieran.
I’m not sure who the show is aimed at? It feels very 2004 and I think Princess would be better off with a more youthful agent.
I think she’s very unusual, in a very pretty way, she seems unpretentious and I really liked her.

Zanatdy · 10/08/2025 16:13

Princess is managed by Pete’s management company, so obvious why she’s not allowed on.

BetweenTwoFerns · 10/08/2025 16:23

My Dd (18) has got a friend with a mother like Princess’s mother. Whatever the dd is doing, the mother is pushing in.

GCSE options night, she went around talking to the teachers about what GCSEs she should have done when she was at school.
Duke of Edinburgh. Joined the netball team as ‘her’ activity.

Does things like decorating the DD’s room when she’s out and then surprising her with it. Obviously no input from the dd who then has a room she doesn’t want and her ‘reaction’ all over facebook.

Shes currently in pieces all over facebook because the dd wants to go to university. She tried to stop the process by not paying for the ucas application but her friends banded together to pay for it. She has applied but with results day looming who knows what will happen.

She has adhd (the impulsive kind), not autism. She also suffers with stupidity. I don't think many autistics would welcome someone so loud and reckless into their community. We're not keen on drunk drivers.

MsChilds · 10/08/2025 16:27

There’s something mendacious about PA, I’ve seen clips of the old TV show where he is vile to KP

Pushdontpull · 10/08/2025 16:33

Whatever you think of Peter Andre, the 'impact' he's had on their children was to bring them up in a loving home, with boundaries and security. Neither of which they had with their mother, which is exactly why Andre was given custody.

Why are you talking about autistic people as an exclusive club? What a weird post. You don’t speak for everyone with autism. How offensive.

Hi Sophie 👋

Aprilrainagainagain · 10/08/2025 16:36

His management company seem toxic. He is not successful any more so they’re moving onto the kids. I bet when they divorced she had to pay his spousal support. She has made some terrible decisions but he treated her very badly. He is not a good person and neither is the woman who manages him and his kids.
