If you was Katie Prices friend

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 ?

Her life has always been car crash like and she seemed to thrive on it and the media loved her for it.

I haven't watched any of her shows for years but happened upon her crazy life show a few weeks ago and was shocked to the core at her. She looks like shit and was obviously off her face on something. She's always made the effort with her hair,make up and clothes even though her choices were not great but now she just doesn't seem to care. Her poor kids and family, surely someone needs to stage an intervention and get her to rehab or something before it's too late.

I like katie. I wish her well.

spongemumnudiepants · 02/09/2019 07:56

I do feel sorry for her but she is a self inflicted train wreck who loves the drama

I also noticed online that she is selling kids clothes. They're awful. Make kids look like thugs. Think trackies for the boys and gypsy bling for the girls.

My dd would love themGrinGrin

A few years back I worked on a number of projects with Katie and her team.

It's so sad watching this car crash unfold because back then (I obviously don't know if this has changed) she was genuinely absolutely lovely.

No ego, kind to everyone and happy to go with the flow when lots of other people call their managers and agents shouting if the tiniest thing is changed.

As I say I don't know how she is now - she might have become a horrible person over the last few years for all I know - but it's such a shame watching her self destruct because I always felt defensive of her when she used to get stick 🙁

HeadintheiClouds · 02/09/2019 15:23

Maybe she is still lovely. Lovely people can make bad decisions too.

ThatCurlyGirl · 02/09/2019 15:52

Very true @HeadintheiClouds

She really is utterly devoted to Harvey, there will be a plan in place for him should anything happen (hate even mentioning that but just saying as it's been discussed a bit on here).

Also sidenote Peter Andre is in the top 5 nicest people I've worked with - it would be so lovely if both him and Katie could enjoy new and healthy relationships like his one now seems to be.

Her poor face looks so painful 🙁

spongemumnudiepants · 02/09/2019 17:33

Reported today that she has yet another new boyfriend.

Also sidenote Peter Andre is in the top 5 nicest people I've worked with - it would be so lovely if both him and Katie could enjoy new and healthy relationships like his one now seems to be.

It's sooooo sad because they were absolutely great together. Genuinely not meaning to be horrible - Peter has moved on and his new wife is really lovely, but, but, but he doesn't seem as much....himself or besotted as he did when he was with Katie. He was absolutely head over heels with her. Of course it was his first marriage etc so like all first it's more intense, and they were both in the media and had that closeness of shared understanding.

But Katie has her demons and I think deep down she felt she didn't deserve him and kept 'testing' his love. She really treated him like crap on their TV show. It was almost just like looking at a woman trying to deliberately tear her own house down.

The men she's had since are with her for the fame and cash, although the last guy did seem ok. She needs to drop the men and concentrate on herself and her children.

FabulouslyGlamorousFerret · 02/09/2019 20:26

As much as I like her, I'm cross that her terminally ill mum (her staunchest supporter) loves and worries about her and yet she is still behaving like a prat partying in Turkey with random men. You'd think she'd tone it down to avoid upsetting her!

ThatCurlyGirl · 02/09/2019 21:11

@CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook

You're so right, when we did some work with Katie and Peter as a couple for a campaign he honest to god loved the bones of that woman.

Doting but not a wet blanket, always seemed proud and impressed by her. And did that lovely thing some couples do where he'd look at her all serene and fondly when she was chatting away to other people, couldn't keep his eyes off her sort of thing.

I think she wasn't used to being treated so beautifully and so would kind of laugh off how sweet he was being as she didn't know how to deal with it, so it sometimes maybe came across she wasn't as into it as he was when actually she was equally besotted.

Fuck me, I realise I sound hugely over invested sorry I've had a pretty shit emotional day so I'm all over the place!

I hope she can find her happy, she's got such street smarts but lost her way so badly. Thanks

It's really nice that so many posters on this thread care about Katie Price; I do too, she's a poor, lost soul compared wth a few years ago.

leaserspottedmummybird · 17/09/2019 21:25

@ThatCurlyGirl maybe give her some advice on her awful kids clothes. I'm
Not being nasty but they are truly awful.

ThatCurlyGirl · 17/09/2019 21:37

@leaserspottedmummybird

It was a few years ago I'm afraid! Not sure what she's like now but like I said back then she was lovely, it's such a shame she seems to be absolutely spiralling downwards.

sleepingbeautyaurora · 05/10/2019 08:33

Personally I think her kids clothes lines are dire. Gansta/thug for the boys, Essex pink and trackies for the girls. My dc would not be wearing these clothes.

In fact I occasionally look at the websites for a quick giggle 🤭

FlibbertyGiblets · 05/10/2019 08:53

sleepingbeautyaurora wow. You joined mumsnet specially in order to post something unkind. Goodness me.

Sarcelle · 05/10/2019 09:23

I saw Peter Andre and his two eldest kids (the ones he shares with Katie) on tv doing a cooking segment. They are lovely well mannered children. She is a good mother, apart from the long list of boyfriends and husbands, and the endless self abuse by way of surgeries and substance abuse. Her patience with Harvey was awesome.

I think she had it all, a great lifestyle, regular tv work. She was a regular on Loose Women but has now lost that gig. All the panellists seem fond of her, despite seemingly having nothing in common. But now it has all dried up and all the dramas are a way of keeping her ever updated face in the spotlight. She seems to crave notoriety and money. Her mum lives abroad now, so she has lost that stabilising influence.

She was a guest on LW recently showing off a huge engagement ring which she said the blond bf had given her and said that she was reviving her singing career and Ed Sheerhan had written a song for her. The ring looked fake (it was huge, where would he get the £?) and she couldn't remember Ed's surname, and he immediately denied it and she suddenly found a new bf too. I don't believe a word she says now.

She is clinging onto fame, but now the fame is that she is a car crash, like Westbrook. I am not a fan of Katie, I used to hate her monotone way of speaking on LW and could never understand what she was doing there. But I feel sorry for her now. She had it all but unless she fundamentally changes her lifestyle, she is just going to end up a figure of fun. She is getting older, the bfs younger, the business opportunities fewer.

sleepingbeautyaurora · 05/10/2019 15:16

@Sarcelle peter does seem like a nice and stable person.

sleepingbeautyaurora · 05/10/2019 15:17

Lol flibberty

Name change.
It's only a laugh.

Pedallleur · 07/10/2019 13:02

She is a woman who lives (and will prob die) her life in the media. So my advice would be put all that behind you but she won't.

fruitinaheapisnotabirthdaycake · 13/10/2019 14:08

And she has just been banned from the roads yet again for two years

CallmeAngelina · 16/10/2019 22:08

I think those closest to her would have good cause to be extremely worried about her. Who knows what the real story is behind all those press articles about the "messy mansion," but the state of it looks, on the surface, to be a sign of someone who's really struggling. I don't understand what is driving her to film it all.
But I think she's on a self-destruct mission. I'm not sure she has it in her to be happy and not sabotage it, as she did with Peter. It must really kill her to see how happy he is in his new marriage and how much Junior and Princess appear to enjoy being with them. She could have had that.
She has also implied that J&P are back living with her half the time. Surely not???
