Dane Bowers & Katie Price/Jordan

well, actually…was he being unreasonable?

I’ve just watched the first episode of the new docuseries about Katie Price, and they’ve just covered Dane & Katie’s relationship.

they met when he was 19, she was 21. She was very much a page 3/topless model when they met. He would have known that.

Then, as things progressed he said that he didn’t want her to pose topless anymore, and that if she did, he would finish it.

Long story short, she stopped, cracks started appearing, she got offered a calendar shoot and took it. He then finished it.

There’s more to the story, but focusing just on that - surely he’s being massively unreasonable?
everyone can have their own boundaries, of course. But can you start a relationship with someone, being fully aware of their career, and then give them an ultimatum?

Why are you even giving this head space?

He was 19 years old, barely an adult. It was probably his first proper relationship (and with an older more mature woman) he was still learning about relationships and feelings and what’s ok and isn’t in a partnership. I’d say let’s not think too deeply into it.

Mate 🤣🤣
I’m watching trashy tv, I saw something that made me think ‘oh, that’s not cool’
I’ve got time on my hands so posted this.

This singular thread is the extent of headspace that I’m giving this.

It’s not that deep.

You must be desperate if the only trashy TV you could find to watch was something about Katie Price.
Was there nothing on about the Beckhams? I don't think we have had a thread on them today.

Full disclosure - I’ve recently got sky. So far we’ve not watched enough on it to justify the cost, saw this so thought why not.

plus, I watched the VB docu when it came out on netflix.

oh, and she did briefly feature on here due to her single with Dane Bowers.

I’m interested in this too, I remember he released a song about her that was quite spiteful (Shut Up and Forget About It) and said a lot of mean things about her while refusing to speak to her directly.

that was some serious mental cruelty

I am male, and have a mate who was really down. I told him "how ever desperate you are, remember some sad loser has a Katie Price only fans account". It was the first time he'd laughed in a week.

No need to be so snotty.

He's a misogynist and she seems to go from one appalling bloke to another.

I just don't understand why she doesn't learn from her mistakes when she alleged she's had loads of therapy? I bet she just did the bare minimum in 'rehab' for about three weeks.
