If you was Katie Prices friend

[Bedsheets4knickers]

Just been reading through the tabloids of late and at the moment Katie Price seems to be making a spectacular downward spiral . It's become a daily topic at lunch as a new story pops up .
We got to talking about mental health and friendships and loved ones . Times needed abit of guidance or times we had stepped in to help others .

Watching her unravel like this so sad to see , she's clearly got a lot of deep rooted issues .
If you was her friend would you be stepping in to help her ? And if so how ?

What could a friend do though? She’s a grown woman

I just feel sorry for her. But they say you have to hit rock bottom before you get back up.

The new boyfriend is sold (by her and her mum) as 'different from all the others'. I don't buy it, he seems a bigger fame whore than all the others put together!

I think she is still in love with Kieron, he looked after her and the kids and the 'mucky' mansion, he just couldn't keep his fuck boyness under control.

Despite everything, I like her, I want to be her friend 👍🏻. Her relationship with Harvey is beautiful.

I feel really sorry for her. I think she tries to act all powerful but really she's so vulnerable.

I think no one really knows what goes on behind closed doors, but if you court the press and use them to earn your living, you open yourself up for criticism and speculation.

I think the kids will be better off with their fathers for a while, until she has got herself back on track. I don't particularly like the character and think she needs professional help. I feel sorry for her children, seeing her like in the press must be upsetting for them.

@cdtaylornats what a lovely start to the post. I always think it says alot about an individual who has to ridicule others to make themselves feel better....shame for you.

I

😬 I just googled. I couldn't have friends like that as I'm a mother and want them around that.
Not a fan of Peter Andre but he must be beside himself if the kids really are out there with her.

I get the impression that these "relationships" are more like business transactions. Young men who want their profiles raised pay to be her boyfriend for a few months then they split. She earns money, they get some press coverage. She was always about business so it seems like something she would do.

Don't want*!

It’s such a shame really. She could have invested her money and lived in a lovely country mansion with her children and her ponies. But the desire for ‘fame’ clearly runs deep.

@cdtaylornats how blooming embarrassing for you to slate the OP's English with a post that's grammatically incorrect

KP needs help.

I’d ask her to book an autism assessment at the Lorna Wing centre. And hire a decent trustworthy PA to organise her life.

I think she’s incredibly co dependant but needs a partner she can push around. Peter Andre was more of an equal financially and had a stable background and didn’t need her. She needs someone who depends on her. It’s clear from her show that Kieran was working off his cheating debts looking after her house, and when he couldn’t hold it together for her she binned him.

Sure that would be beyond grim if that were the case. Exploitative at best.

I'd then say that there's nothing wrong with enjoying sex, but has she considered how her kids must feel about the fact their Mum now has a higher sperm count than most blokes?

So there's nothing wrong with enjoying sex as long as you're a man?

I’d help her find an amazing psychotherapist, because boy does she need some therapy.

She’s not been happy for a very long time and she needs to acknowledge what her issues are, and sort them out.

Something has gone very wrong for her. Her face must be so painful. I worry about her infection risks. How scary for her kids to see her oozing pus and blood from her face.

I think she’s a lovely person with no self worth. She does appear to need an actual friend. I think Peter is the most stable person, but I don’t think she’d listen to him.

When I read about her latest man or op, I worry for her.

@karenbokaren that's not at all what I read from @MyLeftArm's post.

It's equally fine for both men and women to have sex with multiple partners.

However, I think it would be potentially very detrimental to the children for either parent to bring multiple partners into the family home.

It takes months and months for breast ops to heal, especially for revision surgery. She's just strapped her up and carried on partying.

I thought Peter Andre barely had 2 ha'pennies to rub together before he met Katie in the jungle? He never struck me as her financial equal?

I'd ask her to buy me a grammar book...

@pinksparkleunicorns oh if that's what she meant I apologise.

Yes, I agree it's not great for kids to see either parent in a string of different relationships.

I don’t see why PA would be broke. He’d Had a decade long singing career when he met her.

@lavenderandthyme why? Is there is only room for people with good grammar in the world?

To those pointing out deficiencies in other people's grammar please try to remember that 1. Some people are using phones on the go 2. Not everyone on MN has English as first language 3. Auto-correct 4. Many are new sleep deprived mothers who can barely think straight 5. Some are relying on software that writes for them and lastly, 6. some like me have illnesses which cause cognitive difficulties and cause us to skip words, substitute incorrect words and forget spelling!! Don't be cruel!!

I've always liked her but since she split up with Kieron she's really gone off the rails. These latest news reports about taking the kids out to Turkey with her new bit on the side, whilst new step dad Kris is at home non the wiser are shocking. The kids must be suffering due to her actions and they'd be better off living with their respective dads.
