KATIE PRICE. NOTHING TO HIDE - Thur 10pm sky one

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Not sure if this is new or a recent look at her life

4 parts - assume on weekly - I can’t seem to find any info

I have a personality disorder, ADHD, a traumatic past and have had more than my fair share of abusive men but guess what? Ive never drunk driven, my kids live with me and we have a great relationship and no pets have died due to my neglect or mistreatment. These aren’t excuses for being a terrible person.

The number of people who support her and claim it’s all someone else’s fault is bizarre. She might be ND but none of that changes that is awful. Her children have been removed, yes their father is a vile human BUT why are they with their ‘wonderful’ mother.

Awful person in every way.

I was left with sympathy for her family, especially her mother. I can't imagine how distressing it is to be so unwell and see your child so completely unstable and unsettled in life.

I don’t think anyone on this thread is ‘supporting’ her.

She has clearly repeatedly behaved recklessly and selfishly, and caused damage to her children.

But I refuse to ignore the fact that:

Dwight Yorke is a useless father who has never contributed to or parented his severely disabled child.

Peter Andre is a slimeball who hides behind his nasty manager, pimps his kids out as influencers and is married to his friend’s daughter, who is almost 20 years younger than him.

Her last husband shagged her best friend and their nanny, and is currently awaiting trial for child sex offences.

She chooses awful men. And they are a part of the whole shitshow, too.

She is the one ‘choosing’ these men though. Obviously she has issues but if she isn’t so vulnerable that she needs someone supporting her then she will be left to her own devices. She needs therapy not another ‘husband’.

I’ve just finished watching it. I found her brutally honest. Her manager has always been known as a control freak. I do wonder what would have happened if her and Pete had worked through their troubles. She was so pretty back then, not necessarily natural but very pretty. Imagine what you have been through in life to butcher yourself into the unknown. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. I really hope she finds some peace and comfort.

I have zero interest in that ignorant, vulgar, talentless waste of space. I want young women to watch documentaries on Virginia Woolf and Iris Murdoch and Sylvia Plath, not that boring lump of plastic. Christ, she is so f-ing boring it’s painful to listen to her. (Uggh, god, that flat, whiny voice.😴)

Unfortunately, the bloody woman seems to have the best PR in the world. They are geniuses at keeping her in the public eye.

"Dwight Yorke is a useless father who has never contributed to or parented his severely disabled child."
Not technically true - Katie made it impossible for him to see Harvey regularly (as she also did to Peter later on) but he contributed financially for many years, including paying her mother Amy around £30K a year to chaperone him to school in his taxi.
"Peter Andre .... pimps his kids out as influencers" Only a pimp if he makes money off them which he doesn't appear to.

"and is married to his friend’s daughter, who is almost 20 years younger than him." Not a crime, last time I checked.

This, but as you can see from this thread, neither she nor her followers will ever admit that she has any culpability or responsibility whatsoever.

Oh for god's sake, I’m not a Katie Price ‘follower’! I’m just commenting on all the other horrible people involved with her children.

Have a day off! 🤣

I agree, there is more to life than academics and I don’t think the school system is good at all. It tries to channel people in one direction (college/university) and I put far more value on creativity and ideas.
one of the best moms I know, allowed her daughter to not complete school (and she was given so much criticism for this) to allow her daughter do something she loved. She fully supported her. It was the best decision of her life.

I would not criticise the Peter Andre for that at all.

The frustrating thing is despite her claiming that she’s a stronger person now and having the support of a very loving family she keeps making the same mistakes with men.

She described Kieran as “proper lovebombing” her but by that stage she had been in many relationships with abusive men and seemingly learned nothing from these, hasn’t grown as a person and doesn’t understand personal responsibility even on a basic level.

Does she ever look inwards at who she is, what she needs, where she went wrong? Whatever counselling she’s had they haven’t taught her much.

I’ve met people like her before - nothing is ever their fault, they are just one of life’s victims and bad things keep happening to them.

Maddening.

mid 00s she was adored on parenting forums. i remember being on something like babycentre and someone questioned something she had done and they were ripped apart for even suggesting she wasn’t fantastic. it’s interesting watching the doc and seeing how much the marriage to pete changed her image because she was a bit of a laughing stock a couple of years before.
Victoria Beckham hated her I remember there was a story about her singing ‘Who let the dogs out’ if katie walked into the players bar at Man U with dwight yorke. She was treated badly in the media in a similar way to other female celebrities of the time and there was a lot of judgement and slut shaming.
i remember how devastated Gareth Gates fans were when that story came out. i was a secondary school teacher at the time.
clearly she’s made a lot of huge mistakes and although i used to love the Katie and Peter shows i was, as a new mum at the time, surprised how often she was away from the young kids she had.
ive always thought it must be hard if you’re really good looking and judged by everyone on this to not become quite self obsessed and insecure.
i didn’t know about the animals and younger kids being in care.
I liked Alex Reid a lot on celeb big brother (which he was on with dane bowers!) so will be interested to see that part - only watched the first two.

Early intervention would have helped her in so many ways. I am not a fan, and don’t really know her, but I can see she has had a very difficult life without the love of a father and SA in early childhood really has shaped her life negatively. I hope she can find peace and a life that brings comfort.

Just watched it obviously we got the polished version no mention of ss, her younger children or animal cruelty. It was nonetheless interesting. A lot of people who know her well contributed and appeared to give honest accounts. Shes clearly a messed up person who’s vulnerable to abuse and has significant mental health issues she makes a lot of extremely questionable choices.
With regards to Peter Andre I think he pretends to be Mr Nice Guy but I think he has a nasty side to him. Although he does appear to have provided security for his kids.

Why do people always bring up Peter Andre? He is just one of a looooong line of partners/boyfriends/liaisons KP has had and there are many on that list who have much more to answer for than him.
As far as I can see, she should be thanking the heavens he stepped up and provided a decent, stable home to their joint children together when she was unable to (she refers to it as a breakdown - no idea if she did have one or not but the actual reason was more likely her cocaine addiction, which she glosses over in the documentary). If only her youngest two had the same opportunity and support. The "breakdown" was long past when they were taken into care but fortunately (for her) she's not allowed to discuss them.

A PP mentioned that Victoria Beckham hated her.
Years ago, Katie alleged that during a line up to meet someone important (a royal?) Beckham reached out behind to secretly grab/touch hands with her.
I never forgot that as it was such a bizarre thing to claim.

I thought Gareth Gates still sounded as if he was fond of her.

I feel really bad for ner amd all she's endured esp peter andre abusing her for years, but I'm starting to wonder if she's maybe got a personality disorder

I mean when she was with da e she could have stopped the top less modeling a d built a life with him, but couldn't say no to the stripping off

Back in the day I saw her as a working class girl go getter who was going to make a lot of money by her own efforts which she did. I quite admired her for that.

What happened all the money though, she made millions and millions and millions. Her staff must have been appalling.

Didn’t she have an accountant?

She spent more than she earnt. She would fly to LA for 7k extensions. She would constantly be getting surgery, new teeth, beauty treatments etc.......

I also dont think she ever earnt as much as what is claimed online.

Peter Andre did NOT “abuse her for years.” She was the abuser and absolutely impossible to live with; completely self-absorbed, selfish and chaotic. He, like other partners, objected to her vile and trashy behaviour, for example, flashing her pubes to a driver on safari. She called that “controlling.” Not many people (of either sex) would be happy with their spouse behaving like that.
Yes, their relationship became toxic and neither behaved their best but eventually Peter realised he had to leave.
And he has at least grown up and gone on to build what appears to be a happy and successful second marriage. And of course, provided a stable home for his kids.
Whereas Katie…

I agree with everything you say except the therapy comment

I see this sort of comment all the time about people like this. Honestly what sort of impact do you think any therapy is going to have on someone like this. And I would imagine she has had 'therapy' in a number of formats over the years, its inevitable.

Therapy is often touted as sometning that would make such a difference in virtually all circumstances, it really isnt the case. People like this, most of my clients are like this, are often unsalvegable.

Same. I was a huge Gareth fan back in the day! Was 14 when he lost pop idol and he was my ‘1D’/‘Harry styles’ at the time and i fundamentally always felt Kate knew what she was doing by selling stories to the press about things to do with him and their relationship! It ultimately spoiled his career. He was young, she took advantage of how he was naive in the portrayal of him. It was good to see she seemed remorseful of that. I also felt that Gareth had held onto a lot of hurt from things he had perceived had happened, but hadn’t when the ‘truth’ came out. Though it wasn’t really revealed who left the camera in the hotel lobby.

I shipped Pete and Kate but after watching the third episode, he really didn’t come across well. The thing that stands out to me is her stance that he somewhat was controlling of her and her life, time out with friends, what she wore etc. that didn’t change from clips that were historic to now. It may be that they were carefully selected but who knows. I feel like Pete used her for personal gain, though I feel like that was the narrative they were trying to pedal. Not a fan of Claire, at all!

Got the final episode to watch. I haven’t always liked Kate and maybe it’s a well manufactured documentary but it’s been great so far.
