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

What a disgusting thing to say.

It's not a disgusting thing to say. You're extremely naive if you think people do not lie (and that includes about the most awful things) narcissistic people find it natural.

Wait...her not ABANDONING her son makes you respect her?? That's the absolute basic of basic things you do for a child - be a parent. Just because he has complex additional needs it doesn't make her some sort of respectable person just because he stayed with her. I don't mean to be rude, but I find it absolutely barmy that you even think that she "could've... abandoned..." ANY child.

No, as a sen mum i dont think its okay to abandon your child due to their disabilities. But of course a child with complex needs is easier to abandon - it has happened since the dawn of time.

Yes, i think that, given her career and the actions of his father, she could've given the child up due to his needs, or hidden him from the public view

I respect her for ignoring what must've been a lot of shitty comments at the time and making sure she stayed a mum to that boy

I wouldnt judge someone for saying they weren't in the frame of mind to raise a child with complex needs, or for aborting a child at the 20 week mark due to potential disabilities. But I would feel incredibly sad.

I dont get your outraged tone or potential confusion at the idea of a woman abandoning her children (particularly those with needs) for their career. His bio dad quit for the sheer hell of it.

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

You do realise there are people that lie - yes, actually lie, about this stuff right ? Have you ever met a narcissist?

Hula0565890 · 10/08/2025 19:06

Jordan is just an attention seeker and will take over the show. I can see why Princess does not want her on the show. I can't see why though Princess needs her own show....she's hardly a prominent entity after all.

You downplayed a woman being sexually assaulted because you dislike her.

Any behaviour she may or may not have exhibited doesn't excuse your disgusting behaviour.

Agreed

On which show did PA treat KP badly? I watched their reality show and didn’t see any bad treatment and he was so upset after they broke up

It didn't happen. If you keep poking and poking and poking a bear (which my god she did ) the bear will start to growl.

He wanted a stable married with kids life. KP doesn't know how to have a stable married life with kids. She craves adoration and attention and constant stimulation. Marriage is boring for her. Kids are merely props. And all thus utter crap about "she's a great mum to Harvey" - she's really not. If you watch closely she is near on constantly mocking him/making him performing/taking the piss out of his low IQ for her own fun in an under the radar way.

A lot of women on here are really gullible and into arm chair psychology and believe she just must be a victim) traumatised (and KP will happily lead you to believe it ).

She's just a narcissist behaving like a narcissist.

suzanne40 · 10/08/2025 19:14

I can see why Katie is upset by not being included in the documentary, but at the same time she is a bit of a car crash and I think for Princess to do well in the industry, im guessing they want her to distance herself from her mom as much as possible and I mean that in terms of work, not personal life.

Lemonadeat8 · 10/08/2025 19:16

Princess is going to be a huge influence I think, she’s already got a big following on SM and the money and backing behind her. It’s best to keep both of her parents out of it.

His bio Dad is scum - whole other story!
But as a fellow SEN parent - via adoption - then yes, I do have an "outraged tone". Maybe I'm thinking about it with my heart more than my head, but I just don't think that someone not abandoning their child means they deserve respect/admiration/whatever. Particularly someone who (at the time) appeared to have plenty of money to help cater to their child's needs.

And I'm not confused about anything, other than the fact you think I'm confused?

TequilaNights · 10/08/2025 19:24

Princess agent banned her by looks of it and KP hasn't exactly taken it gracefully by her actions since..

Plastictreees · 10/08/2025 19:25

I know it’s not the point of the thread, but I find it depressing how young people now aspire to be ‘influencers’ and create ‘brands’. It all seems to vapid and vacuous. Especially those with rich parents who have so many opportunities for further learning and growth. It seems KP’s children’s futures were mapped out from birth, they’ve always had so much media exposure. Did they ever think other career options were available to them? You have to wonder about the harms of it all.

RepoTheGeriatricOpera · 10/08/2025 18:51

The person I quoted there downplayed her being sexually assaulted with her kids there during a robbery as her being "touched up".

There's no excuse for that.

I used those exact words as they are the exact words that Princess uses in her reality show. They were not my words at all.

I'm glad youre not confused because the idea of a parent putting their sen kid up for adoption is super easy to understand, as painful as the idea is to us sen mums

As much as she had money, which no doubt helped, he was always with her (or her mum) and not put in a care facility, which I dont doubt other celebs of her calibre at the time wouldve done. For that, yes I respect her

She got so much stick for 'making him disabled', not to mention the treatment she wouldve recieved due to being a single mum of a partly black boy

But no, shes not perfect and isnt blameless for her life

The last time I saw KP and PA together was the last series of their reality show and she was bullying him into ground. She’s a really nasty piece of work and totally fucked up.

He’s gone on to marry someone intelligent and sensible and what has she done?

Now she’s trying to muscle in to her DD’s TV show.

SomethingInnocuousForNow · 10/08/2025 19:38

MrsLizzieDarcy · 10/08/2025 15:57

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....

Harvey is a large adult man with very complex disabilities including violent behaviours, I don't think 'shunted off' is fair :/

DollydaydreamTheThird · 10/08/2025 19:40

Literally could not give less of a fuck! I have no idea why people become obsessed with the lives of people they don't even know!! I don't think I will ever understand it. They are both pricks for what it's worth.

Jibberjabba · 10/08/2025 19:43

she churned out babies so she could sell her pregnancy, birth, early days at home etc to the likes of Hello and OK magazine back in the day, all her children have been used as money making machines.
Comes a time when she has to start taking responsibliity for her own actions, she hasnt brought up any of her children, the dads have. Social services would not have taken this decision lightly and imo absolutely she has no defence.

YouOKHun · 10/08/2025 19:44

I’d be interested to know about the people around KP. She is clearly not psychologically healthy but seems to have people around her not acting in her interests and who gain from her decisions and publicised chaos. Whether that’s the endless knuckle heads she dates or the cosmetics surgeons who agree to operate on her. She needs different people around her.

I know two people who have worked in close proximity with both KP and PA who have both come to the same conclusion about them, which is also what I would have assumed. One person I know worked with them for over a year regularly, away from the media. She started off expecting to loathe KP and find PA the sensible one. She came away from the experience feeling very different; that Katie was troubled but basically a much nicer person than PA who she thought was a nasty piece of work (but less troubled and therefore much better at presenting an acceptable face). The other person I know said exactly the same to me after months of working with them. Neither of these two people know each other yet they both, separately, came away with a deep dislike of PA, not KP.

PersephonePomegranate · 10/08/2025 19:48

I didn't watch their shitty reality series, so can't comment other than everything we see is edited to suit someone's agenda and sell, basically.

Not defending PA, my impression has always been that he's an absolute wanker, but KP is certainly no better. Turbuent relationships, multiple kids with mutliple partners, all the surgeries, financially insecure (how? We can only guess, but mine is white marching powder), the 'mucky mansion' and so many pet dog deaths.

Those poor children.

LadybugsAndSunshine · 10/08/2025 19:48

What happened to Bunny and Jett? I heard they were removed from their dads care after his girlfriend assaulted them ( I saw a video at the time of her screaming and throwing food at them) And then KP got custody but lost it, I don’t know why though.

SaratogaFilly · 10/08/2025 19:48

youreactinglikeafunmum · 10/08/2025 16:01

For me its how peter treated her on that documentary which shows me that hes a shit person

There's some talk a out his manager having an input in the show, and having had a part to play in destroying Katie's image

She is a mess, there's no doubting it. Shes gotten many things wrong and hasn't changed her ways, its not good and I dont judge anyone for disapproving of her 🤷‍♀️

But I cant help but feel that shes also a victim and that Peter's impact on their kids has helped contribute to the rift

I would say that she never abandoned Harvey, when she really could've though. That for me, makes me respect her a little.

I agree with this. I’m not a fan but I do feel she’s been used & abused by the men in her life.

I totally agree... You'd think Princess had already had all that nonsense up to her eyeballs! Apparently not. An 'influencer' FFS!

carchi · 10/08/2025 19:52

Call me old fashioned but I thought mothers tried their best to be good role models for their children. Maybe her children are old enough now to realise that they don't want to follow her lead but make something better for themselves. Her hanging onto them will only hold them back she will use them and exploit any success they have for her own sad glory.

Didibluex · 10/08/2025 19:53

I don’t think she’s lied about being SA as a child. I remember reading her first autobiography 20 years ago and it was mentioned.

I used to watch her series with Pete. If anything rewatching it, he seems the narcissistic one.
