Katie Price and the rift with her kids?

[youreactinglikeafunmum]

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

Katie is also on record as saying Junior refused to stay there due to the mess. She seemed to think that a badge of honour.

We don't do the cause of feminism any favours by pretending that all women are perfect and never lie or do anything wrong.

How do you know what she "seemed to think"?
Physic?

So we go completely opposite. Venomous, nasty mother blaming?
Okaaaay....

No, I don't admire the way she made her fortune. I never thought she was the great businesswoman everyone said she was. She was offered lucrative deals and said yes to everything.

The money used to be there for the taking. I remember reading once that winners of Love Island etc used to be able to become millionaires months after finding overnight fame because the photoshoots were so lucrative. Less so now, I understand.

I don't admire someone who had a fortune and blew it. I read that she would get paid hundreds of thousands from photoshoots and just piss it away within days, weeks months. That is not admirable.

Why should we women admire someone who panders to awful male fantasies despite claiming to being a victim of them?

Having said all that, I do sympathise with her because she is an addict and an addict's life is wretched. She is so lucky that her daughter hasn't given up on her despite everything. So many addicts lose the respect and love of their families. She should be content with that, stay out of the public eye for a while and do something else. Her time as a glamour girl is over. She could parlay her experience into management of young reality stars or something. If she could get it together and really clean up her act (it sounds as though she hasn't quite got there yet) she could have an agency to rival Claire Powell's She and Kerry Katona have a lot of experience between them. And it would be great if they retired out of the public eye.

What is Kp an addict of?

When I read the article it was no surprise to me that Princess did not do well in her GCSEs. She might put a brave face on things and her dad and Emily tried to provide a stable environment for her, but the damage was done. Very few people would be able to achieve academically after what she has been through. She might have a potential to do better. We don't know.

We all think that having money and going to the best schools protects you from the effects of neglect and (what amounts to) abuse, but it doesn't. Many of us know what addicts get up to. The Mucky Mansion is a typical druggie den. Princess' protectiveness may be a form of denial. If she owned what really went on she might thrown into the pits of despair. This is why she isn't ready to speak to a counsellor yet. As she gets older she may find it a necessity to do so or - God forbid - risk acting out herself.

Peter Andre's instinct to protect his kids and not put all of addict KP's antics in the public domain is the right one. He is not a saint, but his attempts to parent his children is exemplary and many men could take a leaf out of his book.

Makes you wonder how she gets Harvey to do the content given she doesn’t live with him and it’s not like he’ll be able to do it out of his own volition.

she was convicted of driving with cocaine in her system

I always thought she was making the best of a bad situation however the animal stuff gives me sympathy. Its sheer neglect and bad attitude

I lived locally to her at one point and it's a miracle more of them weren't killed on the road. 6 dogs and horses dieing on the road is inexcusable, and they were always getting out so it was inevitable

If we had multiple family pets dying in the same way, animals being crushed in the house, and animals dying in vague circumstances then I'd struggle to look at my mum the same way!

She is so lucky that her daughter hasn't given up on her despite everything.

Ive thought that. She has been a dreadful mother and put her children through real trauma, it’s ok blaming other people but she’s repeatedly put herself and her children into those situations knowing how it’s played out before. I don’t care for her trauma tbh, when you’re a parent you have to prioritise your children, trauma is no excuse for causing trauma IMO. She is really lucky Princess is still in contact and so positive about her. Her kids would be well within their rights to walk away and leave her to it.

By the way, when I say she doesn't seem to have cleaned up her act, I don't mean that she's still using, just that she doesn't seem to have sorted a new life for herself in the way that addicts have to when they put the addiction behind them.

Fair points but Pete got custody when she was twelve. A private tutor to do interventions with has the potential to fill gaps. She must have attended at key stage 1/2 or Children's Services would have been involved much earlier. She was removed in year 7/8.
She won't be the first or last to attend public school and not be academic. But you are bang on when you say ACE affect outcomes - they do - and £ cannot always cushion it. There are, however, many who are resilient/have the smarts to achieve in spite of their formative years.

Peter Andre is absolutely no angel, but for years and years KP has denied their marriage fell apart because of infidelity. Her recent statement is damage limitation in case he finally outs her imo.
KP is not able to care for her kids safely- Bunny once posted a video on Xmas day of her eating raw noodles while KP was passed out.
KP has prioritised shit men and substances over her children at every possible turn and cites her ‘mental health’ as the reason for this… yet made a whole documentary about having IVF to have another one.
i feel sad for her kids, particularly Princess who sees the best in her mum yet has never been her focus. She even got her birthday wrong recently on SM
I hope the kids can all heal from their experiences

Sorry, wrong quote. That was in reply to *nelli"
Cannot edit.

Just read the article. Not sure who her manager was protecting - the brand or Princess herself

Gives me no sympathy sorry

If her animals were being treated that way, i struggle to think what she was like as a mum.

There was also lots of buying new animals once the older ones died or lost their appeal which I feel mirrors her continued very public pursuits to have babies once her kids got older. It feels like whenever her publicity decreased she was out talking about having more babies

I was one of those resilient types and did very well academically, but in my experience we are few and far between. Many people who go through this stuff fall by the wayside. Being academic isn't everything anyway. There are many more ways to succeed in life and Princess is using the best of the things that she learned from KP and PA and trying to put them to good use. I think she is doing brilliantly and I pray that she continues to carve out her own path.

She does it when he is visiting her. She advertises it brazenly on her social media.

Both
She knows how the papers work/tabloids.
But her boss Claire Powell's main clients include:

Peter Andre and his wife and children
Amy Childs
Paris Fury and her daughter
Jeremy Kyle
Gary Lucy

Makes me question why she has him home for visits now!!! I have often wondered how she manages him on holiday etc as there’s usually lots of photos of her enjoying herself in isolation then a photo dump of Harvey - clearly all taken in the same setting/at the same time. He will not be able to be left so I assume he has others there caring for him freeing KP up to do what she likes.

Just googled the Cameo messages - that’s disgusting. Harvey has no idea what he’s doing or that he’s earning.

Shes not even got him home and she’s priming him to make her a few quid.

Ms Price is obviously an emotionally damaged woman. Her constant need for life affirming cosmetic surgery is the outward manifestation of her troubled life. I have no idea what started it, as her sister, Sophie, seems balanced. She has made mistake after mistake with her choices of bf and husband, and has a clutch of children 4 of whom are in the custody of their fathers. The son in her custody, whom she has been a single mother, has lived in care facilities for about 10 years as he has complex needs and became too hard to manage at home due to his genetic disability. Her daughter's management company, the same one as her dad's, is run by a woman whom Ms Price accused of having an affair with Mr Andre, so they will not allow her to be involved with her daughter's career. There was a terrible incident in South Africa when Ms Price was on a holiday with her children and they were ambushed by a group of men. They were terrorised and KP raped. There was hardly any media coverage of this and I just assumed it was fiction, however Princess has recently talked of the devastating effect it had on her.

He has 2 carers at all times with him even when at her house. This is why its a farce when people say she brought him up alone with no help. He has always had nannys/carers/help. Hell she even left him with the next door neighbour while she pissed off for 4 days without telling the neighbour it would be that long. She also pissed off on holiday the day after he came out of ICU. She is the least caring mum.

The "rape" was fiction. It was a sexual assault, but no rape.

Princess said in her series that they "touched up mum" but no mention of any rape by Princess.

It also started as men with sticks as weapons and over the years it has now changed to guns. The fact it was all on camera, and shown to the viewing public (and still available on youtube) shows how much exaggeration has come from KP.

Edited to add, KP was sued by Andre and Claire for the affair allegations and she had to pay up a lot of money. The judge called her a liar.
