Katie Price and the rift with her kids?

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

People are accusing her of lying about being raped.
Abhorrent.

A quick Google shows she claims to have been raped on at least 3 occasions. The story about when she was a child varies as does the one in 2018. Its understandable people question them.

That woman is and will always be a train wreck. I’m surprised she’s still alive.

murasaki · 10/08/2025 17:42

We'll have to agree to disagree. She was massively exploited as a teenager, and I don't doubt that awful things happened to her then and in later life. But I do think she'd say anything to mitigate her awful later behaviour, especially to avoid jail. I can hold both of those things to be true.

She's a drug addict and has an addiction to surgery. She doesn't have custody of any of her children, Harvey has been shunted off to live with 24/7 carers and she can't even keep her pets alive. She's a disgrace of a human being and a mother. Peter Andre is a decent man who has had a much more successful second marriage with a well educated and intelligent woman. My money is on KP being the issue here....

An adult with the multiple and complex needs Harvey has is not being "shunted" in to to 24/7 care. 24/7 care is very usual and appropriate for a family with resources or ability to advocate for their child.

Do not blame her behaviour on ADHD. It's her personality, not that thanks!

I certainly don't behave like miss Price.

I don't mistreat animals or do any of the things she does. I am also not medicated.

She smacks more to me of a personality disorder but I am not an armchair psychologist.

But I do know that ADHD doesn't make you act like a dick. Your personality does.

I hate attention and would never do the things she does.

But have you had trauma like Katie has ?!!
Katies life hasn’t been easy and she obviously has a lot of demons and having ADHD you can’t process those feelings very easy and they come out in behaviours .

StrictlySequinsandStiIettos · 10/08/2025 17:52

Found you!

Came over from the Dwight Yorke thread.
I haven't seen the Princess Diaries.
Is her dad/step mum in them?
I hope the sole focus is her.
She is naturally beautiful, as Katie was, back in the day.
Seems to have her head screwed on.
Didn't know she was on OF. Hoped that was just her mum. She is pretty enough to do modelling, not runway but for campaigns like Next/M+S/Superdrug.
Must be hard to be a nepo baby and to find her own way. You either follow your parents' path to "fame" or you do a new career entirely. Roman Kemp has done well for himself.
Simon Collins/Eliot Sumner have done well on their own terms. Jamie Lee-Curtis, Lily Collins are now famous in their own right.

So CAN associates stayed loyal to Pete in the split and now have Princess under contract.
It is fair enough to keep Katie out of it. Her press has been awful of late and she is prone to extremes. Allegedly, she was asked to Princess's party but was abroad/a no-show. As to a rift, all she needs to do as a mum is to see her daughter privately without contacting the press, putting it on socials or making a song and dance out of it.
Otherwise she is going to become the erratic, unpredictable, embarrassing relative to be avoided at all costs. And I do think Princess herself irl still loves both of her parents.

I'd have liked to have seen her on Strictly, but guess with Pete having already done it, he wanted to protect her.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/08/2025 17:52

@Allseeingallknowing

i’m watching the show now out of curiosity. She has stated she wants her own beauty brand. Not easy for an average teenager. Luckily she has the right connections

There’s something mendacious about PA, I’ve seen clips of the old TV show where he is vile to KP

What did he do that was vile? I don't remember this.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/08/2025 17:54

Hello @StrictlySequinsandStiIettos I don’t think Princess IS on OF I’m not sure though. I also think she’s a shout for Strictly

lifeonmars100 · 10/08/2025 17:55

I think that both of them are less than ideal parents, and this whole concept of monetising your life, which has now become Princess's "career" option, is a bit grim. I wonder if his kids with Emily will be encouraged to go down the same route or if they will have a different focus such as education and qualifications. What exactly is Princess going to be doing? Promoting make up brands and mid range clothing I guess and then a stint on Love Island?

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 10/08/2025 17:56

You can dislike Katie Price all you want, and there are many reasons to, but there are several points that cannot be disputed:

  • Peter Andre is a raging has been narcissist who is now exploiting his kids in a way that Katie would have been vilified for.
  • We believe women. It is obvious to anyone that Katie Price has had horrific experiences and to diminish them or call them liars is a shit.
  • That doesnt excuse things but it is a reason and KP needs to seek help.
  • She may not have got it right but prociding support to Harvey is not wrong and is a slap in the face to carers to suggest otherwise.
  • His manager Claire (or Carby Claire as she used to be called on MN) is living in 2004 with an outdated show like this and is a shit manager.

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.

Oh fgs, get your own life!!

StrictlySequinsandStiIettos · 10/08/2025 17:58

Hi reise
Wonder why they haven't, given the Pete connection. I assume because her mum would be in the press, if she wasn't allowed to support. And Pete might know the stress of it.
Princess would look stunning in sequins though.
And Tilly had a good series with support.

Plastictreees · 10/08/2025 17:59

I am tired of trauma being used as an excuse to justify toxic behaviour. Plenty of people have experienced trauma and adversity but do not go on to cause harm and chaos to others.

KP was in a very fortunate position of making a lot of money, she could afford to access private therapy for trauma which is a privilege unavailable to most. I seem to recall her getting DBT but she doesn’t seem to have stuck to it. She comes across as erratic with desperately low self esteem, it must be very difficult having her as a parent and I don’t blame her children for distancing themselves. A tragic situation all round.

zanahoria · 10/08/2025 18:00

Call me a cynic but I suspect this rift has been manufactured to promote young Princess's TV show. It certainly seem to have had enough coverage. I doubt Katie cares, she knows how the media works.

You are no more representative of the whole of the ADHD community than an adult who is a genius is representative of the whole ASD community.

People with ADHD are also more at risk of developing personality disorders, but her reckless, impulsive, behaviour and poor executive function can certainly be put down to ADHD because it's typical.

Unfortunately Katie's life has become a car crash but creepy Pete isn't great IMO. I remember an episode of the show where he's in a restaurant with no other people and Junior is demanding a kiss on the lips from a waitress (what normally raised 3 year old does that) and Pete half heartedly says 'oh no you can't possibly do that' - then tells the waitress and she agrees to kiss him on the lips. Pete is loving that his son is kissing women at 3 years old and keeps going on and on and on about it. It's creepy AF.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/08/2025 18:03

It’s a fairly hollow show. Bland, inoffensive not exactly riveting stuff. The poor girl gets vile sexual DMs though apparently

I always thought Peter was foolish to get involved with Katie Price in the first place.

He wouldn't have had a media career if he hadn't. One cheesy hit in 90's doesn't go very far.

Snorlaxo · 10/08/2025 18:14

Perimenoanti · 10/08/2025 17:35

Also read not long ago that KP wasn't invited to Princess 18th or some important day like that. She pointed out that she felt excluded so this documentary they are doing is just one of many instances where's she's being excluded as the other parent. Not clear if that's what princess wants. Even if she said she doesn't want her there I'm not sure I believe it. A narcissists control is strong and it's extremely difficult to disentangle from that as such a young person.

I don't know if princess is able to fund herself yet, but if she relies on her dad for money she will know 'whats expected'.

Katie has well documented issues with alcohol and drugs plus if it was somewhere like a nightclub then there was a high possibility of Katie taking over the night with some pics for the paps .
If the party was filmed for the programme or paid for by her dad then I can see why mum wouldn’t be invited. Have Katie and Peter attended any events post divorce and been cordial for their children’s sakes?

Merrilydancing · 10/08/2025 18:15

KP is now seen as a toxic brand and Princess was probably told not to include her in the show because it would reflect badly on her and possibly ruin her chances of future lucrative collaborations.

It will all be about money and KP will understand this.

Snorlaxo · 10/08/2025 18:18

I tried to find out if Princess is on OF and it seems like she isn’t. KP seems to have said that Princess is supportive of her mum’s OF career.

Is Junior also likely to be an influencer or is he too young to tell?

LuckysDadsHat · 10/08/2025 18:26

PinchOfVom · 10/08/2025 16:38

I’m assuming none of you are aware that KP was gang raped at 7 in a park and is completely traumatised?

She was not gang raped at the age of 7. In many of her books she has stated it was a flasher in the park.

As with a lot of her stories they evolve over time. Her armed robbery in South Africa started as just that a robbery, now when she tells the story she was raped, which is an out and out lie. The cameras were there filming it. Even Princess has said they touched her mum up but nowhere is it said by anyone there or since was she was raped. It also started as the robbers had sticks and has ended up as gun totting robbers.

She is full of bullshit.

Did you just downplay sexual assault because you dislike the victim?
