to think it's wrong Katie Price ( who is obsessed with her weight) is a role model to young girls?

I've been watching What Katy Did Next (obv when nothing else is on and I'm knitting etc.)

She is totally obsessed with her weight on the show. She grabs millimetres of her taunt tummy and says: ' I am soo fat!' she talks about having liposuction all over her tiny body. She has v obviously got a body image disorder.

Then you see her going to a book shop to sign copies and 1000s of young girls scream after her while she looks at them with dead-eyes and complains about her hand hurting.

AIBU to think it's irresponsible of TV cameras to show her talking about being 'fat' when she's a role model to young girls?

She used to be very pretty. Now she is a botox, collagen, silicone enhanced freak and looks far older than she actually is IMO.

She needs therapy for a whole host of problems. Actually, i have just seen her on the TV promoting a magazine and she has that "dead behind the eyes" look.

Her skin looks dreadful at the moment and she looks pretty unhealthy in general I think. Mind you, I agree with Custy and others that its not necessarily fair to single her out - she is only one of many poor role models for young girls.

I used to use her as a 'sort the wheat from the chaff' question with potential boyfriends, 'Do you fancy Jordan?' Answer 'Yes' equalled 'Bye' answer 'No' equalled me investing a bit more time in them.

Sorry but anyone who finds that attracctive / inspirational is just not for me.

There is nothing good about her Agree with custy et al seriously worrying that teenagers aspire to her rather than find the whole charade laughable.Such a shame but the media have pushed the 'intelligent businesswoman' tag on us all and some people actually think that as long as you are making £ how and why are irrelevant.She is hideous irl btw I keep seeing her atm and she is a small spotty gremlin with someone elses teeth

TheCrackFox · 07/10/2009 17:57

I actually do think she is a good business woman. Only that her product is a bit naff. Also I find it questionable that she (and Peter Andre) don't mind selling their DCs privacy to the highest bidder. Still, they both live in big houses ...... shrug.

She is in that she has no boundaries so everything is for sale you can't go wrong really with those morals

Lizzylou · 07/10/2009 18:06

She is totally obsessed with money.
Unhealthily so.
So she's made a lot of money, still not very aspirational when it's been done by flogging her body/every inch of her private life/her DC's problems and photos.
She makes no bones about her love of money, it would seem at the expense of everything else.

She can only become a role model to people who know no better.

Empower your dd with confidence in herself and Katie Price et al can lipo off.

Goodness knows what she's done to herself. She's looking like a dodgy transvestite these days. Also, why does she lick her teeth all the time - like a lizard? It's starting to mesmerize me like Gordon Brown's wobbly bottom lip-suck.

Doesn't she have a baby range of clothes at selfridges now? I thought she was going to do buggies too?

bodycolder · 07/10/2009 19:05

her teeth are huge

Ronaldinhio · 07/10/2009 19:17

I wasn't aware she was a role model to young girls.....

I'm more worried about the impressionable young men who think that orange a size six multimillionairess with gravity defying breasts might be the norm

I really don't like Jordan. She is totally trashy, and would sell her soul for the fame/money. She has no principles whatsoever. And she looks like an over-madeup, overblown barbie. Unfortunately, it's also said that her look is what men find attractive. So girls want to look like her because they want to be attractive etc (DP says he wouldn't touch her with a barge-pole though )
