Her walking out of the jungle is on the bbc news - there is an entire phone-in about her on 5 live atm.

Why?

I don't know, but a lot of people have an opinion about her.

My mil, for instance believes she behaved, 'appallingly' in her marriage. In other words, believes the hype.

ShinyAndNew · 23/11/2009 09:18

I would guess that is why she walked out. IMO she is not as daft as she makes out, she is a very shrewd and sucessfull business woman. It just so happens her business is her breasts.

That is why people are so obssesed with her. She wants them to be.

MintyCane · 23/11/2009 09:18

I have no idea who she is

TheLadyEvenstar · 23/11/2009 09:22

TBH I have never liked her. And am glad she walked out.

RockBird · 23/11/2009 09:22

Lucky you Minty I cannot bear the woman, but I cannot bear any sort of minor sleb. Which is the reason I no longer buy newspapers, watch news etc. I don't watch this reality crap either so have no idea what's going on here. Just how I like it.

wannaBe · 23/11/2009 09:37

ilovemydog am inclined to agree with your mil. She wasn't known as a very nice person before she went into the jungle before, it was really just her meeting and marrying PA that changed her image.

But the way she sells herself she is IMO no different to a prostitute, and yet people seem to lap it up.

I don't watch im a celeb (ha ha that's a lose term if ever I heard one as most of them are unknowns or has-beens), but when it's on the national news there is no escape.

Katie price walking out of the jungle isn't news and should be confined to the shite tv show it represents.

Hmmm

YABU and YANBU

I'm not much interested in that kind of tedious celeb driven crud but lots of people are for whatever reason and I would guess with Katie Price it's a combo of who she is and what she does. She is very 'in your face' and determined to be noticed.

I definitely agree however that it is hardly NEWS.

personally my dislike for her is the 'disabled kid thing'

My son is also disabled and i have found the snippets of watching her sell stories about him and tout him for extra viwers on her tv shows really one of the most revolting things I have ever witnessed.
using her other children to be reality porn is bad enough but using her son and his issues is just vile.

Our children that have issues deserve that we give them every respect and privacy. I cannot begin to imagine exposing my son in the way she exposes hers

posieparker · 23/11/2009 10:05

Katie Price and laid foundations for her own demise ever since her first moment with a surgeon. She's pretty thick and is quickly ruining her looks, one wonders what's left?

curryfreak · 23/11/2009 10:07

She's a vile woman, and as thick as shit!

no I don't

I haven't seen much I confess but I saw a snippet of him going to a new school. For children with ASD change is difficult and a new school will be daunting and frightening even if they are unable to express it. There is simply no reasonable justification for that process being carried out in front of the cameras.

I also want to shoot myself at the suggestion that showing this hideous exposure obsessed woman ( and Peter Andre too) trying to do everything bar defecate for the camera is either glamorous or normal.

Harvey probably could do with a normal life. I don't know him. But autism tends to require calm, attentive structure - something her chosen life seems to deprive him of rather than encourage.

wannaBe · 23/11/2009 10:15

mmm where to start.

Actually the way in which she started her career doesn't make me think that little of her. Lots of women do modelling/soft porn, and while I don't agree with it and certainly wouldn't want any daughters I might have to see someone who does that for a living as a positive role model, for the most part it's not that mnuch in your face and if someone wants to be wank fodder for men then I guess that's their choice.

I think what I dislike about her the most is the way in which she exploits her children, especially harvy, for financial gain.

Harvy's disabilities are such that he will likely never have the capasity to realize that he is being sold to the tabloids, and will also never have the capasity to say no. Yet she continues to allow him to be on the front of hello/ok/heat/whatever other trashy mag she sells the rest of her life to. That is sickening and wrong on every conceiveable level. Selling yourself is one thing, selling your children is quite another.

And this is the same child who has recently been seriously ill in hospital, is she at home with him? no she's out in Australia playing the victim for £350000.

So in answer to your question no I don't think as little of Sam Fox or Jamie and Louise Rednap, because while they might have sold parts of their lives, they haven't turned themselves into a brand or sold their children into the bargain.

but obviously curryfreak doesnt have a PA/Manager behind her to get her the multi millions.

curryfreak · 23/11/2009 10:18

Making lots of money from getting your tits out is such a worthwhile career choice!
It's all I can hope for, for my girls.
Lots of people who are rich are thick as...
Did'nt you know that daft punk?

pagwatch · 23/11/2009 10:18

I didn't realise that multimillionaires are not allowed on mumsnet.

daftpunk · 23/11/2009 10:20

fluffypumpkins..

if all you needed was a good PA/Manager we'd all be millionaires wouldn't we..

you have to have something the public want in the first place....and, whatever you may think of Katie, alot of people are fascinated by her.

wannaBe · 23/11/2009 10:21

actually lots of so-called inteligent celebs have more inteligent and savvy agents who give them the idea to gain more publicity. Just because kp has done well financially doesn't mean she's an inteligent business woman, it means she has the people behind her who know what works and how best to make money..

yes fp. She had big tits, surgically enhanced big tits might I add. that was what the public wanted from her in the first place..

When the appeal of that wore off she had to find a new way to make the public like her.

So she found herself a man on a reality tv show and started up the image of being a mum/wife etc. Except she sold the rest of the family into the deal as well.

wannaBe · 23/11/2009 10:24

erm what exactly is the issue with curryfreak? and is there any need for personal attacks? I think not.
