AIBU to think Katie Price should be banned from keeping animals?

No Harry and Meghan to scream abuse about? This womans life is hers to live as she wants . She unlike the RF for example doesn't keep her hand out for public money My late mother used to say "when they pay all my bills then they might have some right to tell me how to live my life" maybe you should apply that thought before being such bitter twisted old bats

Well, they're suing an unknown photographer for taking drone pictures of Archie so you won't have long to wait if you're feeling deprived!!

H&M's lawyers must be rubbing their hands (again)

Yes I saw that this morning merlot and I couldn't help having a wry smile! I'm fairly sure that on one of the threads about H & M, it was pointed out that once they'd left the UK, they'd be besieged by paparazzi and would have no royal protection. The cynic in me wonders if suing the press in the US will be a source of income in the future.

Not in the papers I read. The tabloid press would eat you all for breakfast. Can you imagine this headlines? And that's before the law suits for libel or defamation of character. You'd better be very careful.

Haha very funny. Given the names and insults hurled at Boris Johnson if you look at the political threads - I don’t think people on here need to be worried about tabloid press. People have stated the truth on here - she is dysfunctional and I feel sorry for her children who bear the brunt of her appalling behaviour.

Oh they have called her more than ‘dysfunctional’. Appalling libel from those who lap up the worst the red tops have to offer. Without a shred of evidence. The tabloids have lawyers who tell them how far they can go without risking a law suit - and even then they get it wrong. So I don’t think a granny from nowhere stands a chance.

Imagine the headlines ?

What, when they find out about my shady past?

Blluebelllwould No the RSPCA would rather bother with someone who cares greatly for their horses and take the word of a passerby who wrongly says they are neglected. I agree with all of your post. I am so fed up with all these so called celebrities who have no real talent.

They're ALL attention seekers, she's not on her own !!
Narcissists the lot of them.

Well I feel sorry for her, she made her living initially as titillation on page 3 of those very same tabloids which are now pulling her apart. It must be very hard to move on from being lusted after to being 'past it' and it seems to me that she has been the target of attention seeking men who want the kudos of being with Jordan/Katie Price and then move on after they establish their own 'celebrity status'. There has never been any suggestion that she is anything other than a very loving parent, even if her lifestyle is not as most of us would like. It is very unfair when those tabloids turn on her, but nobody mentions the father of her eldest son who has Prader-Willi Syndrome. She is to be pitied rather than vilified I think.

I agree.
Like most attention seekers, I think there are much deeper issues going on.

I feel very sorry for her kids. They are going to be as screwed up as she is. Never mind getting over ‘being lusted after. I hardly think that is a viable reason for her behaviour. She needs help and she should seek it - for the sake of her children.

A bit harsh Orangerose; KPs children seem to be happy and well cared for from what I've seen of them. And the mutual love between KP and her son Harvey is undeniable.

Are you party to a lot more than the rest of us re her relationship with her children Orangerose?

I have never liked her and never will.
And Rowantree you are spot on.

I was never much of a fan of Katie Price (Jordan back in the day when all she had going for her was the size of her jugs) you know the ones I mean.

Over the years I have some empathy for her particularly when I see her devotion to her son Harvey it must be heartbreaking for her to deal with all the ailments and his disability, as for his father what has he ever done for him? in fact he refused to even acknowledge him so big shame to him anyway. Harvey only went into a home because of his size and lack of mental awareness, he wanted to play with his siblings but how could that be allowed when Harvey is almost 18 stone and if he fell on them he could crush them.
He is not living in the home all the time.

I read that the pet german shepherd dog was run over by a delivery man going to her property and though I saw that her young daughters dog had died in an accident I did not read it.
So maybe she has a chaotic lifestyle (in fact I hear she is bankrupt.) I still rate her love and care of her children and it is obvious that Harvey loves and adores her.

So---more enhancement on Katie's lips {shock] They look like rolls of lino ! Hideous.

She could suffocate if she was heading in a stiff breeze.

Never really cared one way or another about her, but suddenly I look at the abuse thrown at her on this thread and feel sorry for her. She has lived an independent life. She sarted as a Page 3 girl but she has made money in all sorts of ways including writing(?) a number of books. She has 5 children and Harvey her eldest is severely disabled. She may not be a model of respectability and morality and I wouldn't want my GD earning her living as KP does, but she is a loving mother,and a strong independent woman and she seems to bounce back when she suffers setbacks.

3nanny6 "the jugs" aren't real, "the artificial sacks" of whatever, have been in out and possibly shaken all about so many times now, I imagine her frontage looks like a patchwork quilt. That is something I don't understand, unnecessary surgery, and umpteen times at that! Personally, I'd opt for smaller ones and now she's started on her lips. Again, another facet of her public persona which seems utterly bizarre. She looked perfectly fine before she started having un necessary work done to herself, I'm wondering if I'm alone in thinking that she and others who go down the same road ruin their looks and end up looking older than their actual age.

I remember it was mooted by someone on MN once, they thought that possibly she was on the autistic spectrum maybe. She certainly appears to become easily addicted to all manner of negative behaviour, particularly surgical enhancement. The outcome of continually driving herself along on a constant roller coaster of self perpetuating publicity with all the pitfalls and ramifications that go with that, doesn't appear to make her want to rein it in a tad though. Even though time and again repetition on similar themes tend to produce very disappointing outcomes. Possibly she's in denial she's getting older, her allure is not really there anymore, she may find bouncing back a lot harder as middle age approaches. In many ways I feel sorry for her, I think she has had a lot to deal with in raising Harvey who has a whole gamut of health problems which can't be easy, particularly with his latest hospitalisation.

To be honest I would rather spend time with Katie Price than with women who talk about a womans looks in this way.

I think we should leave her alone. Who are we to take the moral high ground. I am sure none of you are perfect and neither am I.
I agree with Tricia and Paddyanne on this, also do you all believe what you read in the press? Obviously you do, which tells me enjoy reading the bad and the gossip. I cannot believe some of you are being so nasty to this Mother of a disabled son. Also if she us going to Turkey that's her business.
I would also like to point out that some of you posters are not perfect role models either, otherwise we would not need a estrangement forum on Gransnet.

Well said Galaxy & rafichagran the level of ill-informed bitchiness on threads such as these is abhorrent.

It has to be one of the nastiest threads on GN, surely? She’s going to be judged on her lifestyle as she chooses to plaster it all over social media, but some of these comments are horrible.

Furret - since when were you appointed forum moderator?

As someone upthread pointed out there have been many downright nasty posts about Boris Johnson and other members of his government- far worse than anything said about Katie Price. KP does court publicity so can hardly complain. As for warning posters they should watch out for the papers getting wind of this forum - try reading the comments section of the online rags!!

Hear hear. And I was wrongly accused of being nasty when I quoted a posters OWN words.

The thread about Katie Price's animals morphed into comments about her lifestyle and looks a while back. I think it should it should be considered nevertheless when a famous individual puts their whole life up for public scrutiny as I imagine KP still earns a living by allowing so much of hers to be public, and as such she could be deemed an influencer of sorts. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her natural looks, except increasingly over the years she has had an enormous amount of un necessary surgery which will attract not only comments on the foolishness of that, or depending on your point of view, how it has enhanced her looks. KP is of course just one of many who choose to undergo the knife. What I think is sad is that there is a constant focus today on women who are just there for no particular reason other than for what they look like, and what they look like often has no bearing on anything natural, Kardashians being prime examples of all that. Unfortunately that has lead to a whole generation of young women who aspire to be like them and just end up perpetually unhappy with their natural selves, imo never has there been so many false images of women and a generation who seek to emulate an ideal of false hair, nails, lips, breasts, buttocks etc etc.

Not all famous people want to make the public aware of every aspect of their life, they make their film, do what they do, and retire from the spotlight in between, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz for example had a baby a few years ago, never talked about, don't even know his or her name. Unbelievably wise imo. Whilst the celebrity can make an informed choice as to how much the public can see or know about their lives, lets not kid ourselves, they are complicit in controlling and maintaining their profiles. Their children on the other hand are often propelled into the spotlight with them and who knows how damaging that may prove to be for them in the future.
