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

KP is currently pimping out Harvey on Cameo for £36 a message. So a young man who cant truly consent is having his mum literally putting her disabled son out there for her to earn money. Disgusting.

That is horrendous, treating him like an attraction at a Victorian fun fa

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

Hardly a roll call of talent and charisma

lifeonmars100 · 17/08/2025 15:27

The Guardian piece seemed balanced and fair and gave some insight into what those children experienced in Price's household without the lurid tabloid slant. I am sure it was scary at times but I am sure that she does love her mother and has a lot to process and come to terms with. She has said that she still sees a counsellor sometimes, so hopefully this helps 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.

How can she do these video messages of him if carers are around, how is it even allowed

Also I remember Peter constantly saying no one knows the real reason we broke up too it’ll come out one day.. it was something along them lines I can’t remember how he worded it now but it made u think wow what did she do?? To portray her as the scumbag but without publicly saying what the actual meaning was.
He got famous because of her but wanted to continue that fame, play the victim, make the public dislike her n side with him n leave her in the gutter. Vile man.

Something to do with a termination

KP certainly has issues and she herself knows that. I don’t agree with everything she’s done over the years but none of us are perfect. There’s a lot of deep rooted issues going on. I will say from what I’ve seen she’s a great mum to Harvey. I personally not a fan of Peter Andre he was horrible to her on their show and was caught basically cheating whilst her assistant or whatever was in the house asking him to go to the hospital to see Katie. I seen a clip the other day where he actually spoke to his current wife quite poorly also. I also met him last year he was pleasant to my mum on the Saturday on the Sunday I spoke to him and he was rude. So I walked off. I feel for their kids but we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. Also I will say I seen a pic of KP yesterday and honestly I was shocked. She used to be such a naturally pretty lady and she’s just went so extreme with surgery. I’m all for people doing what makes them feel happy and confident but she had essentially ruined her looks. X

Because she gets away with it! How did she turn a social worker bent only for the social worker to end up becoming the Nanny of the youngest 2? You just have to Google what Lynne Rickwood the bent social worker ended up doing. She uses people and love bombs them and sadly some people dont see past her fame (infamy). In an ironic twist of fate for the bent social worker, when she finally lost custody of the youngest 2 she was binned off and sent packing. Price had no use for her when she lost the kids, and knew that the game she had been playing with getting Lynne Rickwood telling her all the tricks and tips to gain custody had failed.

Now that social worker has lost her social worker job (and apparently going through proceedings to be struck off), her nanny job for Price and god knows where she has ended up. Just another used and discarded person for Price, same as the animals in hee care all used and cute when babies but discarded when older and no longer cute on insta.

How has she been a great mum to Harvey? Please can you explain because I see this a lot and I just dont see what you are seeing.

She abandoned him at 6 weeks old to go and live in the playboy mansion for months on end, she has made the young man so obese with the crap that she feeds him and yes he may have conditions that preclude weight gain etc.... but as a responsible, good parent you dont then feed them a giant family sized carrot cake just for them to eat in one go. You dont feed them a whole back of mini chicken Kiev and half a bag of oven chips as one meal! You have to make the right choices for your disabled child as due to conditions they cannot do it themselves.

She wheels him out when she wants to make money on social media and in the media but basically wants nothing to do with him otherwise. She fucked off on holiday 1 day after he came out of ICU, he has been injured numerous times under her care. She peddled him round nightclubs and charged to have drunken nightclubbers have photos taken with him when though she constantly states that loud noises upset him and send him into meltdowns. She is now pimping him out on Cameo which he cant consent to. She is constantly taking pictures of him naked or almost naked and posting them all over social media which again he cannot consent to. She also gets naked in bed with him and is kissing him constantly while she is naked. David Beckham was slaughtered for kissing his young (at the time) daughter on the lips in public full clothed, but its ok for her to do it naked while in bed with him. Shocking.

So I am totally not seeing a good mum, unless your standard of being a good mum is the above! And if it is, you need to up your standards.

All of the above is totally provable if you look at her social media, and Google it. This is not stories that have been made up by the press, this is KP posting them herself on her own social media.

What have you seen? Do you know her? Her documentaries where she gushes over him? Where she gets Harvey’s law through? It’s all publicity. See Luckydadshat’s post- that sums it up well

TheMeasure · 17/08/2025 16:23

@Cece92How about exercising a bit of critical thinking for a moment. You seriously believe that Peter Andre “was caught basically cheating” on Katie because he was filmed ( Filmed - who by? The resident film crew in the house at the time, ffs!) coming out of a swimming pool wrapped in a towel. You think they all tiptoed into the house silently, set up their equipment and lighting and “oops! Caught them in the act!

TheMeasure · 17/08/2025 16:27

And as for “great mum to Harvey,” I think you need to raise your bar a little. @LuckysDadsHat has listed many of the ways she has failed him and continues to fail him every day the poor man is in her company.
Only last month, she ridiculed him on her SC by filming herself telling him off after he’d smashed her tv screen. She sent him back to college as a result.

TheMeasure · 17/08/2025 16:33

Oh and while I’m at it, the film clip you saw the other day was a clipped edit of, yes, him speaking very poorly to Katie. Did you also see the lead-up to it, where she was goading and taunting and ridiculing him for being a has-been?
In my opinion, I think it was that period that showed him more than anything what the relationship had reduced him to and he realised he needed to do/behave better.
He certainly appears to have traded up but also to have co-created a happy family life with his second wife.

This classy response from Katie re Pete's statement

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/celebritynews/katie-price-breaks-silence-feud-b1243232.html

Love it!

Good on her! 👏👏

That was a great statement and I absolutely agree with the saint/sinner thing!

Pete try’s to be the ‘saint’ but to get there Katie had to be the sinner!

I stand by I like Katie, she’s had an absolutely rough ride, became self destructive and spiralled.

Pete played the victim and did a blinder turning the world against her, while he was shacked up with Emily his 20 year younger fresh new girlfriend.

You can tell by looking at him all is not it seems.

HotDogKetchup · 17/08/2025 17:03

“ I don’t agree with everything she’s done over the years but none of us are perfect“

I don’t profess to be perfect but I think there’s a whole area of grey between perfection and imperfection and I sit somewhere in the middle. I am certainly NOT a perfect parent but have never done anything to risk my children being removed from their care and am mostly motivated by their wellbeing rather than wrapped up in my own head.

He managed to provide for, raise and support his kids. Whatever you think of him he’s done a pretty decent job of parenting - also having to undo some of the awful stuff his kids saw at their mothers.

StrictlySequinsandStiIettos · 17/08/2025 17:14

I think he was hurt at the time of their split.
I think the insinuations/innuendo "she knows what she did" were unhelpful.
If the rumours upthread were true, he had good reason to divorce her.
The sinner/saint story abdicates her responsibility for her own actions and decision making. She is in denial there.
She will have missed out/missed a lot but through her own choices.
And - what would have been a much classier move - would have been to thank Emily in that statement. Even if Pete is no saint, I do think Emily deserves that title!

Plastictreees · 17/08/2025 17:22

Your right and I’m not disputing the fact he’s a good dad, credit where credit is due and the kids have turned out great.

But I also understand what it’s like to have mental health problems, my ex was emotionally and psychologically abusive and it took me years to recover.

Katie said in an interview from the day Pete left he never spoke to her again, completely cut her off, even regarding the children.
That is narcissistic behaviour and my ex did exactly the same thing to me.
Pete quickly got with Emily - his new supply and portrayed himself as the great guy who was victim to her.
He’s played a massive part in her spiral downwards.

Plastictreees · 17/08/2025 17:25

Also the Saint / Sinner narrative was cringe and blatantly not written by her. Whoever wrote it failed at being deep or insightful; human beings don’t exist in binaries, we all have a multitude of qualities, good and bad. It was just another attempt of deflection and KP taking no personal responsibility. Professional victim.

Thechickenisburning · 17/08/2025 17:25

Wonder what she really actually did that was that bad

3 years later isnt exactly "quickly" though is it? Or is there an acceptable amount of time to leave it before dating someone else? 3 years seems fine to me.

Also the reason he cut her off is she got pregnant by someone else (they hadnt had sex in ages) and then claimed it was Peters and when he said it was impossible she went and had an abortion and claimed it was a miscarriage. All contact was through his solicitors, so he was in indirect contact with her about the children, she just hated it as she didnt have the control she wanted over the situation. She is the narc in all this.

Most of her exes have gone on to have stable, loving relationships, the only one that hasn't is her.

Apologies I didn’t realise it was 3 years I thought it was sooner than that, my mistake.

Has that actually been proven she got pregnant to somebody else or is it just rumoured?
In the interview I watched she said Pete kept accusing her of sleeping with somebody else and she never did.

And then in her statement on friday admitted being unfaithful.

I am sure there was court proceedings regarding this as well that she also lost and had a confidential agreement for the costs and compensation.
