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

It’s odd because usually when influencers use their children to promote their brand or whatever they’re trying to sell. Mumsnet users are all over it and even saying that it should be illegal to deny children of their privacy.

However when Peter Andre does it, people are ok with it and see it as an opportunity and that he’s a great dad.

Also people can’t seem to comprehend that just because some of us can see straight through PAs fake bullshit, it doesn’t mean that we are defending KPs indefensible behaviour.

If Princess and Junior can make a good life for themselves in showbiz then fair enough, but for many it’s 5 minutes of fame and then a road to nowhere. Unless you have a genuine talent or something to offer.

And for all those arguing that PA is a covert abuser and smug and manipulated and put down KP : I don't buy it.

I think he's only mistake was meeting her in the jungle and not really understanding her background and what she was all about. I think once they'd fallen for each other it was too late and he Instead focused on trying to "tame" her (for her own good) trying to make her live a more settled life and do the whole marriage and kids thing and disapproved when she pulled against it.

I do think underneath it all that she hates herself and he was the only man she ever did really love and probably pushed him and pushed him and pushed him away with her bad behaviour as a kind of self destruct/self sabotage thing. I think actually loving a man, having everything she probably wanted deep down (marriage and kids and stability) was too much to handle and she couldn't cope with it as it was so far outside of what she knows and just pressed the self destruct button.

I don't like KP nowadays. But the only time I did like her was when she was with PA. That's the best she ever looked too. Got the silly oversized tits removed and looked natural and actually pretty.

I think she never got over him deep down and just carried on the self destruct like a run away train. I mean look at the marriage to Alex Reid literally a few months after they got divorced. I don't think she even liked him, far less loved him. She held utter contempt for him and he was just a docile lap dog. That was all to cause shock to PA and make him feel like their marriage was nothing to her. And it all snowballed from there. I don't think she can probably even bear to think about it let alone admit it's the truth.

"Classy statement?" From Katie Price? (or rather from whoever wrote it for her - she can barely string a lucid sentence together herself).
I've never read such a manipulative load of old shit. And for a start there aren't people who are "just" sinners or "just" saints. There are shades of grey in between in all people.
And if she'd stopped at "I know I'm not perfect" then I MIGHT have had some grudging admiration. But she just HAD to keep going and turn it into a slagging off. And after yesterday's post saying she didn't see the need for entering a 'tit-for-tat' exchange. And now here we are.

I agree.

She's really lucky with PA : at least she had a stable father and stepmother to hand her children to when SS came knocking at her door

Look what happened with that Muppet Kieran: yet another unstable home with rowing partners, chaos, step kids and chaos (so nowhere particularly safe for poor Jett and Bunny)

If her kids were her priority, no matter her scorn for Pete, she should be grateful of the stability he and Emily had to offer their children.

I know a lovely lady who I admire greatly (was a heroin addict ) she is many years recovered and an absolute inspiration. She told me that when the Inevitable happened her kids were taken out of her care and placed with the father and his wife. She gushes about the stepmother and says "she was the mother to my kids that I wasn't able to be and I owe her everything" they all have lovely relationships today and she always makes sure step mum is treated as "mum number 2" in her words. Some people are so humble.

KP can't bring herself to be grateful of the stability that PA and Emily have given her kids. Poor old Jett and Bunny - and Harvey. Different story for them.

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.

What a strange woman, why try to stop her child getting into uni?

DeeKitch · 16/08/2025 20:24

Remember Katie Price criticised Jade Goody for profiting from her cancer diagnosis (£ for her kids), while Jade accused Price of hypocrisy, citing Price's previous public disclosure of a finger cancer “scare”

And bring up her past. She can’t seriously still be hiding behind it. I never even speak about my abuse in adult life let alone use it as a defence when I’ve messed up.

It was posted live on YouTube by Bunny. She did a live video showing her trying to cook noodles unsuccessfully so they ate them raw. It was heartbreaking.

Petitchat · 16/08/2025 18:37

And have you looked into what made her like that?

Is that a good enough reason to pass the trauma down to her 4, possibly 5 (if Harvey has the cognitive ability to be impacted?).

TheMeasure · 16/08/2025 20:43

Much of the stuff that is known about KP is what she herself has (inadvertently) given away herself online on her YouTube/SnapChat live reels.
Bunny was persistently online, and Katie would half-heartedly admonish her for it on her reels and say things like, "you'll get me in trouble again." She (K) admitted she'd closed her accounts but that Bunny knew how to re-open them. And then she'd pop up late at night in her bedroom, totally unsupervised, trying makeup on (that she'd ordered herself online with Katie's card) and getting changed, with the live chat facility open. On one occasion, "someone" commented how they liked her (brief) shorts.
It was reported time and again by (responsible) people who could see how dangerous this was but whichever platform it was, was very slow to act and close it down again.

Oh the poor girl, fingers crossed she gets the results she wants and gets away from her mother. What a lovely group of friends she has supporting her too.

Was Bunny old enough to do that???

I think my issue with it is they were already primed - he agreed to her being on tv and in the spotlight from a young age. His current wife won’t accept that for their two kids so he can’t. He made that choice for Princess and his son, it’s on him as well as Katie that they’ve been exposed since they were very small. So whilst he can’t stop the decisions she makes now, he has been part of the problem leading to this point. And it’s two fold - on the one hand his fake shock at the fact she is getting disgusting messages which he absolutely knew she will have been getting since she was much, much younger, and the fact that if she doesn’t ’make It’ the. It’s public humiliation. I think she will have a comfortable z list career like both her parents, but if she didn’t do that he’s set her up for that embarrassment. He has filmed her private moments and put them up for all the world to see and now this. So I do judge him harshly. I judge any parent who exposes their kids like this harshly to be honest.

Edited

With respect, Gran, I don't think you're quite getting the whole social media thing. Princess is very into social media and that is why she has all these deals and a TV show, not because her dad pushed her forward for them. She wants it. Her mum allowed them to have sm accounts before they were old enough. I remember at the time that PA being against it, even though they had been on his reality shows when he was married to KP. I think he was probably careful about how much they did, although to us it seemed that they did a lot.

If he is such a controlling fame hungry monster how come he hasn't overridden Emily's desire that their children stay out of the limelight?

I think the classiest statement of all would have been no statement. Just silence, beautiful pure silence.

And now the media reckons the ex boyfriends are coming in to bat for PA. The whole lot of them are ridiculous. But it is quite entertaining. (A good distraction from the terrible things going on in the world).

I found this article regarding the two youngest, written at the end of last year. I get the impression that this is the maximum the author could say about the situation.
https://metro.co.uk/2024/12/10/katie-price-reveals-no-longer-see-youngest-children-jett-11-bunny-10-22157181/

It's obvious KP is lying and she has been forced to stop posting any pictures of the children.
I hope they are being well looked after and can spend their teenage years in a stable environment.

Katie Price reveals why we no longer see her youngest children Jett and Bunny

The star no longer shares photos of her youngest children.

I feel so sorry for those wee kids 😔

Truetoself · 17/08/2025 06:19

Princess said in the programme that she wished she bad a happier childhood. That was sad.
I am still to see any vile behaviour from
Pete - I don’t understand how he is thought to be controlling etc
A lot of kids want to emulate their parents - so why not Princess and Junior?
Emily and Peter seems well suited. However their ahe gap is a bit icky…..

This.

All the adults involved here at dickheads. And why has their child got her own show? She is being shoehorned as the next big thing so she can keep them all relevant and make their next buck. Her older brother’s pop career hasn’t take off so instead they will all pimp out this kid for fame and fortune. She will be on Love Island in a few years.

And it’s working. It’s all disgusting.

I agree. Considering KP is the one at fault here no one is mentioning the fact a 16yr daughter being allowed to follow in her mother's footsteps. Why hasn't PA put princess off showbiz etc

Have you seen the awkward video of preparing a kids snack of literally cut up veg? She's quite clearly uncomfortable in front of the camera why do it? Where has her career in medicine gone now with young children and an aging husband who is desperate to hang onto his fame also

Motherofacertainage · 17/08/2025 07:03

The misogyny on this thread is next level!! Whatever mistakes she has made, you’ve got to admire the way KP made a fortune exploiting what she had when clearly she did not come from as privileged or educated background as most of her critics. The woman needs help and I feel increasingly sorry for her tbh. I also think whoever has advised Princess to go into the reality / influencer world is thinking more about their own advantage than the girl’s wellbeing. She seems like a sweet kid and I hope she’s ok.

edited to add: the production company are very happy to use the publicity that goes alongside anything to do with Katie Price. Let’s face it, she’s a very attractive girl but viewers are mainly interested because iof who her mother is. A programme about one of Andre’s kids with the new wife would have very few people interested I’m sure.

She can still have her head screwed on & be a great step mum. And I'm the same age as PA. I'm definitely not aging thanks very much!
