Katie Price and the rift with her kids?

youreactinglikeafunmum · 10/08/2025 15:26

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 don’t like KP or PA. I’m also of an opinion he was extremely controlling when he was married to her. I think the whole “family man” thing is orchestrated by his management and his wife who comes across as squeaky clean. I saw an interview with Princess where she says she can’t talk to her Dad about her Mum because she knows they hate each other. I’m divorced, my daughter was born the week after Princess and I don’t think this is normal or healthy. As her parents we both speak to her and also to each other because we think that is a more positive message to send her.

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!

Well that obviously depends on their academic ability.

They do exist I'm afraid

I saw them, I think it was in the Daily Mail. Don’t think she was completely naked, wore pants. Still very inappropriate.

SquishedMallow · 11/08/2025 12:54

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.

Edited

Agree- mildly attractive at best. Her nose job was good- she should have stopped there.Junior and Princess resemble their father, especially the eyes.

I seem to remember his face was inappropriately close to the plastic balloons. Grim. Or abuse given his ability to choose for himself.

I don't like Katie Price at all however, I watched their reality show and Peter Andre was awful to her. I understand that she's not an easy person but he was snappy, belittling and on edge. This nice guy image is a load of crap built by ITV. I think he uses the children as a further tool to berate Katie with.

Just because he introduced them doesn't mean he was expecting him to DATE her!

I've arranged for my young adult DDs to meet with friends of friends for things like career advice, work experience & training for sports/ hobbies, not once was that an indication of my approval for them to try n fuck my kid!

It's not that odd a thing to do. We probably all do it in smaller ways (we might not have celeb friends that our kids want to meet, but we all pull favours for things like apprenticeships, summer jobs etc)

I have friends with kids who are well into adulthood, but kids of friends are still and always kids of friends, it doesn't matter if they turn legal! I have even put them up favours e.g. one was considering my local uni for clearing, another had a summer job nearer to me than home and stayed over if he had a late shift followed by an early shift.

Zero of these arrangements or meetings were the parents setting us up!

And I really don't think there's a whole lot of difference between that, and a celeb meet n greet if the kid is into a celeb you know

It's so weird that people take the fact that the dad introduced them, as him giving it a wink and a nod

His whole "nice guy"/"great dad" image and career post KP is build on a foundation of him being better than KP, not on him being objectively in his own right.

And Ive never met anyone who sells their strengths by pointing out other people's weakness, who was truly the better party of the two.

Think of your workplace! The person most loud about what work other people aren't doing. Are they ever much good themselves?

This is a very good point. He defines his parenting and personality in terms of hers, so it doesn't need to be great, just better than hers which is a low bar. He doesn't actually do anything great, does monetise the kids, albeit less, and comes over as a bit of a shit. But in his mind as long as he seems better than her, he's doing well.

Princess looks just as uncomfortable around PA as KP IMO

She gives me the impression of a girl who learnt to be very good at managing her parents moods and making sure she's never the reason why their mood darkens.

Despite his whole brand being the "not KP parent" I think they're probably quite similar to be around from Princesses point of view: Say WOW THANKS MUM / DAD YOURE THE BEST at their big gestures that are more to do with the parents egos than the kids needs. Keep the little ones from annoying the parent, etc

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.

That's just narcissism though, isn't it?
SHE can't help it if she has that disorder.

I was huge fans of both Katie and Peter back in the day. I remember watching their show and to be honest looking back on it now they are both as bad as each other. I remember Pete moaning that he didn't like Katie drinking or the clothes she wore and on and on it went. He wanted her to dress more middle class and act like a stepford wife. I remember thinking why did you marry her to just try and change everything about her. Then Peter had his own show after the split where him and his brothers constantly went on about the massive big thing Katie done to end their marriage but of course they weren't allowed to talk about it. 9999 billion times he repeatedly said how much he loves his kids. I don't think it was even a week after the split that she had a new man and had jetted off on holiday.

Honestly the both of them are an embarrassing car crash.

Well that obviously depends on their academic ability.

Yes true.

BadDinner · 11/08/2025 14:50

Yes true.

But I'm sure Emily will get tutors, make sure homework is done and other stuff PA and KP wouldn't have bothered with. Give them a fighting chance.

SecretNameAsImShy · 11/08/2025 14:54

Personally, I think she is fucked up! If she was my mother, I'd want to distance myself as far away as possible.

AFly on the Wall series will never show you the real picture. Didn't watch it so can't comment on that.

Too much airtime given to KP. Wish she'd just fuck off! Can't stand her

With the best will in the world not everyone os cut out for university and there's nothing wrong with that.

Can we stop this nonsense of calling men "creeps" who date very much adult women (which a 20yr old Is) he was a good looking older man- you can see why she found him attractive. He's caused her no obvious harm has he ? They're long term married with 3 children of their own. She's a doctor - hardly some vulnerable waif and stray.

And whilst we're at it : her father was a surgeon. Peter was going in for some kind of orthopedic surgery. Surgeons daughter (Emily ) had a crush on him and asked her father to introduce them. Which he happily did. The rest is history.

Don't make innocent men out to be perverts where they are not. It minimises vulnerable teens etc that are groomed for nefarious reasons by much older men.

Edited

I didn't say he's a nonce I said he's a creep.

There's a whole spectrum of creepy behaviour that isn't illegal e.g.

  • Targeting overweight women not because it's a preference or they just happen to like them, but because they see them as more grateful for their creepy advances
  • Going to "comfort" your friends recent widow with the hope of getting your leg over
  • and being middle aged and dating your friends young adult offspring, who was a recent school leaver UNDERGRAD student.

Add to that how his entire branding ever since has been "I'm not like KP" I'm less convinced that it was an irresistible combination of meeting of minds and physical chemistry, and not at all because she was the "anti-Katie"

Very true, but I'm pretty sure she'll make sure they have enough gcses. Unlike Princess.

She's been done for drink driving multiple times : that alludes to a drink problem. Partners of problem drinkers do tend to "go on" about not liking their drinking. I don't think thats a fair point of contention.

With a mother as a doctor they'll probably be intelligent. Academic ability is often (but not always) inherited.

And she will have the mindset that education is important, which is a fair bit of the battle.

But that doesn’t mean he some kind of god like angel. I don’t even know what he’s still famous for?. Both of them can be just awful, I think it’s a very low bar to say he’s a great person just because he comes across as better person than her.

Justanotherdramalama · 11/08/2025 15:49

@SquishedMallow I get and understand what your saying. I also understand that the show was filmed and edited. But at that time she was drinking on nights out and so was he. Then he went on his health kick to lose weight and to promote his new album and she was to change her ways to suit him.

I think Pete and Katie really did love each other but in the end they were no good for each other. I remember the episode in the segway hire shop and the two of them were really digging into each other. That's when I knew they were over.
