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

Her biggest failing imo is the failure to secure Harvey and the other childrens financial futures. .Harvey could have had the best of care either at home full time or in a care facility. Instead of which he is at the mercy of state funding and she is having to fight for support like the rest of us. And believe me it is a bloody hard slog to even get the most basic support
She threw way what could have been a wonderful future for Harvey which us v sad indeed.

I don't know if this critique is fair. Not having a go, I just don't know how realistic it is. You have people in care who eat through the entire equity of their home in a few years. I doubt Katie was making so much money she could have afforded elite care for Harvey for life as well as provision for the rest of her kids.

The question is, how much money has Katie made in her career? A few million, tens of millions, hundreds?

I don't know actually how old Harvey is, or how long he will live with his disabilities but even a million or so would eventually be eaten through with high level private care with a normalish lifespan, unless she had invested incredibly well.

State funded social care should be available for all, no one should have to work all their lives and use all the assets they could have left their children to pay for it. It ought to be better, just like nursery provision should be better.

But I could be very wrong regarding KP and H it's a valid question.

It's not about acknowledging Harvey needed more care then she could give him its the fact she exploited him and continues to exploit him for money that isn't the actions of a good mother
I'm also the parent of a teenager with complex disabilities, I don't drag him around for publicity or talk about his intimate care needs on TV.

Yes, neither would I. But to be fair, neither of our incomes or lives revolve around the media. To look after him, she needed cash. She had one major avenue to get it and that was through the media.

It was also totally acceptable at the time for celebrities to sell stories regarding their parenting and lifestyle to magazines. KP was was far from the only one. Kerry Katona was another one. All the ex girl band and minor celebs and TV personalities were at it. Even major celebs actually. It got to the point that when a celeb couple married or had a baby, people would speculate how much they would get paid for the photos and interview. OK! and Hello magazine constantly had the wedding and 'inside the life of' spreads. Attitudes have changed somewhat today.

So I don't think KP did anything unusual and probably raised attention for a very rare condition few knew of. Prader Willi syndrome was something I'm sure many had never heard of with many saying he was just obese.

One thing though it was a shame that Peter Andre seemed to drop out of his life. I think PA said he really wanted to see him but it was due to Katie. He wanted to adopt him during the marriage apparently, but I'm not sure why he didn't. Maybe that was down to Dwight.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 11/08/2025 11:33

@BadDinner I’m speculating slightly based on what I recall being said at the time (a long while ago) but PA was keen to keep a relationship with Harvey but wanted KP to fund his care when with him and she declined to. Something along those lines.

You mean laying in bed with him naked and posting it online?

Or all the times she kisses him on the mouth and asks him “who’s the best mum in the world Harvey?” to post online?

Or pulling him out of his safe and structured care placement to drag him around on “holiday” with the sacked social worker as his carer whilst she gets yet another procedure done and posting it all online?

Or was it all the times she’s made him swear on video and posted that online too?

Oh and don’t forget the time she had a big fight with her ex and ran to his house causing carnage in the middle of the night with police turning up - That must have made him feel really safe!

Yeah sure, those years count for something alright!

Exactly.

Watch videos carefully: she's mocking him in an underhand way that falls just below the radar. In one video I recall you can see princess locking eyes with her mum and both sniggering and trying to stifle it whilst he's rocking back and forth with some humiliating "gift" she's bought him plonked on his head.

I think she's a "feeder" too and enjoys watching him gorge on food that he should have limited with his Prada Willi and obesity. He's a heart attack and stroke just waiting to happen.

Also, there's very much a link with the multiple conditions Harvey was born with and drug taking /drinking during pregnancy. There is evidence of KP doing those things whilst pregnant with him. It's not a totally wild accusation to wonder if her behaviour during pregnancy may have had an adverse affect on a developing foetus. However much people can convey fake shock and awe at saying these things just because they don't like how it sounds.

Some of the pictures of her drunk (and god knows what else ) while she was pregnant with him were saddening to see. Falling out of nightclub's in mini skirts.

It's besides the point I know, but taking a 17yrs old virginity whilst heavily pregnant with another (AWOL) man's baby then bragging about it, shows how much of a priority preparing to be a 'new mum' was for her.

Also Harvey is autistic and has verbal ticks and 'love you mum/mummy' is one of them. If you watch you can see , he says it when overstimulated/excited/nervous and it's unrelated to the context.

Example: "Harveeeey bear, are you going to have your hair cut today ?'

Harvey: "yes mum. Love you mum."

KP" Harvey I've told you about shutting those doors "

Interrupts before she has finished "yes mum. Love you mum " (whilst rocking)

I know it's a tick as my DH has the same one and it really annoys me as there's no sincerity in it.

In fairness though, Kerry Katona has had a evidenced shit life and upbringing. Her mother is a total waste of space and was a drug addict and Kerry was bought up in the care system. Mum only came out of the woodwork when she knew Kerry had money.

Poor Kerry's life and relationships have been a mess : but I can kind of see why.

KP on the other hand hasn't got that excuse. Her brother and sister are well turned out individuals and she had a loving upbringing. The only thing she clings onto are some spurious SA allegations.....

And Harvey has limited capacity to understand how he's being portrayed, he probably doesn't care my son wouldn't either.

So who has the poor kids? 😔

I believe they were placed with Kieran’s mum.

Pushdontpull · 11/08/2025 12:41

You never saw her complaining about being up in the night with the children because she never was. Harvey was looked after by his maternal grandmother before going into residential care and the other children had their fathers or nannies.
People believe the stories she gives to the tabloids who merely cut and paste ‘facts’ ad nauseum, so they sort of become the truth, iyswim. These are the people who say, ’yes, she’s troubled, but she’s a lovely mum to Harvey.’ Imagine if a man in his forties posted pictures of himself on social media, naked, nestled up in bed with his adult special needs daughter while she slept. There would be an absolute uproar, so why is it alright for Price to do it? The sight of her with her bare breasts pressed up against Harvey, trying to look sexy for the camera isn’t ’sweet’ or ‘showing a close bond’, it’s completely inappropriate.

"spurious SA allegations" is a terrible thing to say, when you really have no idea....

It's so easy for everyone to keep hurling nasty accusations and judgements at KP when we don't really know what happened to her in childhood.

Just because on the surface, it seems she had a loving family and background, doesn't mean she wasn't abused in some way by someone.

When I was a child I had been regularly abused by grandfather.
SA at age 14 whilst on holiday.
SA at age 15 by a friend of my dad's.

No one knew until I told, years later.
I went off the rails for years but with good therapy, managed to sort myself out.

If someone had called my SA "spurious", I would have been devastated and immensely affected.

I completely agree with you.

I think she poses seductively on purpose to appeal to all sorts of fetishist's. If you look at pictures of her with horses she does it too... You can see exactly what she's trying to allude to (for god knows what sickos) that's how low she'll stoop. Thinking people will get something out of her posing seductively with her big adult son and animals. There's no low she won't stoop to. Unfortunately for her (although she can't see it as she's a narcissist and thinks she really does have every man panting) she's not attractive and looks dreadful nowadays.

Also the common trope of "she used to be a naturally stunning/beautiful woman" KP was never "beautiful" : she was 'pleasant' looking in her youth.

Nobody is calling your experience "spurious" . I am though, calling KPs spurious, and I won't budge from that.

Also whenever she poses with her sister she always picks the most unflattering pictures of her poor sister with no makeup on, greasy scraped back hair , dowdy clothes and her glasses on. Meanwhile KP has photoshopped herself next to her beyond all recognition looking like a filtered, painted mannequin that's been tasered. Her sister ironically looks prettier .

Lampzade · 11/08/2025 13:13

The thing about Katie is that she comes across as honest, but I am never quite sure if I believe what she is saying .
An example of this is her claim that Peter Andre ended the marriage because she slept with her dressage instructor . She claims that she didn’t sleep with her instructor and that Peter Andre made a mistake
Her denial appeared convincing , but who knows if she was telling the truth .
I personally thjnk that Peter Andre comes across as a decent father but would be a crap partner / husband
I believe that both he and Katie were toxic individuals and he is very controlling
I think he deliberately dated a very young twenty year old in order to control her as he wasn’t able to control Katie
Also, I do have an issue with a man who was knocking forty turn up at a twenty year olds halls of residence .
I have a daughter around that age( who is also coincidentally at Bristol the same uni attended by Peter Andre’s wife ) and I would not be pleased if an almost middle aged man rocked up in his flash car to take her out

Her father was a surgeon who operated on PA. Surgeons daughter (Emily) fancied him and asked her father to introduce them. He did. They are now many years down the line.

He hardly rocked up at her residence now did he ? Let's not make out adult women are vulnerable children.

You may not "like it" if a 40yr old man asked your 20yr old adult daughter out. But there's not a thing you can do about it. She's well over the age of being able to consent and make competent decisions.

No wonder everyone on here thinks you can only have a child at 35+. They're busy infantilising their 20something kids.

She went from saying they were held at gun point, then to they held the gun to her head, then after that it was they groped her boobs, then to how she was raped and then gang raped in South Africa. The ITV crew were there and have confirmed that they were robbed at gun point, but the rest DID NOT HAPPEN.

She lies purely for attention and adds on to the story when she feels she’s not getting enough shock and awe from it anymore. Everything that’s happened to her has always been the worst anyone has ever seen.

When she broke her feet pissed - Worst broken bones all the drs had ever seen, then added she’d never walk again and then would never wear heels again. Yet surprisingly she’s still staggering around pissed in her 8” shoes.

Her car crash - Worst the police had ever seen, they couldn’t believe she survived.

Her therapist - Worst trauma they’ve ever seen, all caused by all the men in her life, yet happy to pop off to Dubai to get shat on for a weekend.

Absolutely!

I don't think we should be silenced into not questioning the legitimacy of her lies because it may offend real SA survivors. I think liars such as KP and under covering them is important to not detract from the actual survivors of SA. This woman does victims of these awful crimes an absolute disservice.

Even if he was a loaded celeb and she'll enjoy a wealthy life? Sincere question.

PA asked Emily's Dad? Or Mum? If he could contact her I believe before dating her. Her father is a hospital consultant or something isn't he? Why did they agree? I always wondered.

I doubt Emily will be allowing their children to forgo exams, A-levels and a degree for a media career!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. You may think that KP was pleasant looking in her youth but that is just your opinion. Many people do think that she was stunning.
