Katie Price & victim blaming

[AtlasNeverShrugged]

Katie Price has been assaulted and has a "split eye".

However, the comments on Twitter are horrendous:

So many people calling her names, saying she probably deserved it because she's gobby etc.

She always comes across as a nice person, I think she has been vulnerable all her life and is easily manipulated by men. And suffering any kind of abuse or trauma in childhood can fuck you up for life sadly.

Hope she gets the professional help she needs to break free from shitty men. You can do it Katie!

I completely agree, it's awful how she is being blamed for this.
I live where she has been staying and where this happened and local Facebook has been awash with gossip and what the neighbours heard and general busybodies full of glee.
When someone pointed out that it wasn't gossip they were told that as she courts the press that it is indeed gossip.

Poor Katie. I have a soft spot for her. She'd be better off being single for a while imo. The man who did that to her is a total pos.

Onlyfools, I have seen Peter Andre interviewed perhaps twice. I don't know him. I can only go on appearances or interviews. Miss Price lives her life in the public eye, sadly seems a troubled person and I think does need counselling. I couldn't tell you anything about Peter Andre now.

It’s awful. I’m not a fan of hers but I do see a hard working person who tries by her kids and wants to be loved. Even if she was the most vile person in history she doesn’t deserve assaulted though.

I think she used to post on here or at least rumour was she did. I hope she’s only seen supportive threads if she still does but it’s unlikely. I also think for what it is worth she needs help learning about boundaries and healthy relationships because she seems too trusting.

Oh and I’ve not given my kids pizza for Xmas dinner admittedly but there has been years we have had Chinese takeaway 🤷🏻‍♀️

Some posters should be ashamed.
As my Nan would say, your label is showing.

Get well soon KP sorry this happened to you.

At least she is honest. I value honesty and admire that she is honest about her surgeries. So many on tv have had surgery and plenty of it too.
She is honest about paparazzi too and how they pay for the holiday if you let them get a few pictures, I didn’t know that. That celebrity life a really murky world, she is tough to be still standing at all.

I hope she find happiness.

I think it’s likely to be a case of domestic violence, sadly.

Do you have any reliable source for this information? Because if not, it's pretty fucked up to come on here and basically point the finger at Carl/Harvey (not sure which way you were leaning) when you have no evidence whatsoever. You do realise these are people, even though they're 'famous', right?

As a parent of a disabled child I can’t criticise. She’s never hidden Harvey away or pretended he was someone he’s not. It’s bloody hard caring for someone who isn’t a fit in society. She’s probably done a lot for the effort to recognise the place of disabled have in the world. She’s not the perfect parent - show me someone who is.
Social media is her source of income and I think she’s a lot more honest that most. I hope if she’s does read what’s written about her she sees the positive as well.

I like her and hope she recovers from the assault.

I thought she was great in the first series of I'm a celeb. But most things I've seen her in since then, I'm afraid I've found her fairly unlikeable (to me)and some of the things she comes out with seem untrue/fantasy) but I think she has a lot of psychological issues which, instead of being dealt with, are played out for all to see by someone (agent/manager/partner potentially?) making a lot of money out of her problems.
I feel sorry and sad that she has been a victim of DA and I hope that she and her children are able to escape it.

How sad yet telling it is, that even on a thread written in support of a woman who has been assaulted to the point of needing hospital treatment, people still feel it's appropriate to speak negatively about her.

Actually I think many posters (myself included) may not be her biggest fans but can agree that what this man did to her is unacceptable. No excuses. It matters not one hot what a person says, does or the choices they make, you do not hit someone. I hope she's recovering well and is able to walk away from this abusive twat to look after herself and her kids.

At this the same time I think it's perfectly acceptable on a public Internet forum to also say she needs to think of keeping herself and her kids well and look for ways to make life less chaotic.

I hope she's doing ok
