What advice would you give Katie Price?

I've not read much about her childhood. But there are a lot of similarities between mine and Katie's life minus the glamour modelling and awful men and I have struggled quite a lot with my own child with a disability and how I coped and felt was very isolating, so I feel compassion towards her. I think we all have the capacity to think outside of own life experience and think how different it could have been.

I think Katie would be happier if she was sleeping with Oswald too

Well I didn’t see Oswold but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen janejudge
I think Katie is very very damaged woman I don’t know her back story, childhood etc, but she clings to anyone, and I mean anyone, who shows her attention
I think she is sad rather than bad tickingbird I m certainly not a supporter but I don’t think she means to be as awful as she sometimes comes across
Has anyone read her story did she have an abusive childhood ?

I didn’t know that was his name!
Oh Jane, you would have loved that thread! It gave me so much pleasure. We even had an anonymous vote by pm

Did Bernie Clifton sleep with Oswald?

I read an interview with Reid in The Guardian Magazine, of all places. He seemed like a nice chap, but very intense. It’s hard to imagine that they were well suited.
I can’t say that Reid going public with his alter ego ‘Roxanne’ was a good move though

Yes she has a habit of badmouthing former partners.

Alex Reid successfully sued her for playing a video of him in the bedroom to her CBB housemates when off camera. He was terribly bullied over this and was close to suicide. She only married him because he’d just won CBB and it was another chance to be in the limelight and get back at Peter Andre.

I know she has her supporters on here but she’s not a very nice person underneath her ‘great mother’ exterior.

I remember KP saying that Reid had quite specific requirements in the bedroom department

Better than mine Amber when the kids were little I worked as a chamber maid and I made Bernie Cliftons bed that’s my one and only claim to fame ???

Ah BlueBelle, but it got you to the final of ‘Rubbish Claims to Fame’ (what a thread! Even if I do say so myself)
In fact, if it was down to me, you would have won.
The actual winner was Riverwalk and her convoluted connection to the Donkey from The Durrells

I didn’t realise that I’d entertained ( drinks) Glenda Jackson on my boat until I saw her in Women in Love a couple of years later.
I recognised the man with her: Richard Greene the actor.

My claim to fame .... being rejected by Alex Reid ?

???

???he was a ‘rummen’ as they say round here
Well that’s your claim to fame anyway

After just a few hours reading I feel like I'm being sucked into a Katie Price morass Bluebelle.

Her ex Alex Reid used to go to my gym (hope I'm not outing myself here ? ). I once cracked a joke about something to him while getting a coffee and got a grumpy look in response. When he left I asked one of the boys doing the coffee who the grump was and they told me 'That's Alex Reid. He's a cage fighter. He's going out with Katie Price' and I said 'Maybe the cage fighting has destroyed his brain'. It was all a bit of a joke.

Looking back now I think maybe the grumpy look was meant to say 'Don't chat me up, you old bat, you don't stand a chance' ? ? ?

She was as far as I have read staying at Carl woods house which they are doing up together ready for after their marriage amber, after the attack she fled to Harvey’s house
(I thought he was in residential so no idea what that means) ; but the man arrested was 32 the same age as Carl Woods and he was not seen until a picture appeared out alone with his dog after ‘the 32 year old’ was released
She is said to be devastated
If it was just a friend or even a stranger attacked her wouldn’t Carl woods have been speaking up for her and defending her !!

I ve no idea either but it all seems to fit in with a domestic situation and there seem a lot of ‘ coincidences’
Who knows !!!

Well Bluebelle I went back for another read and I'm a bit confused to say the least. Another report says that she was attacked at her home, but the one I read says

Katie was taken to hospital following the alleged assault at a home in Essex where she was staying while her home is reportedly being renovated.

But one of the charges is for 'coercive control' so it sounds very domestic, it's true. Maybe the friend's home was the home of Carl Woods.

If it turns out if was him, when someone is named, I'm happy to take back what I said - there's no excuse for that behaviour whoever it happens to, man or woman.

Bluebelle What I read was that she had been attacked at the house of a friend - to be honest I found it very difficult to work out who the friend was, but the boyfriend appeared to be out and about when police said they were releasing the man they had charged. I only read any of it because of things written on this thread so it's always possible I have got it wrong and missed something. Whoever attacked her apparently stole her engagement ring. Would the boyfriend do that? Wanted his money back ?? All sounds very bizarre.

But according to the write ups they were watching TV at his house when she was attacked by a 32 year old man , he Carl woods is 32 and was at that address! are you still thinking he’s a ‘grounded sensible nice young man’ or do you think he watched as another 32 year old man broke into their house and beat her up amberone ?

Now he's bought her a £50,000 engagement ring - I bet she paid for most of that!!

According to Katie Price and Carl Woods he has more money than her now and paid for her engagement ring himself. He was accused on Instagram (I think) of chasing her money and they both pointed out that he's perfectly capable of earning his own money. From what I've read so far (and I've lost what little interest I had so won't be reading any more) he seems like a very grounded, sensible, perfectly nice young man.

tickingbird Price was always upfront that she had a ghost writer. It wasn’t a secret to her readers, so they weren’t the naive ones.
Rebecca Farnworth wrote all of her books, up until her sad death in 2014

I think that Blossoming knows that she has a ghost writer

Blossoming I don’t think she writes her books she uses ghost writers I think that’s a well known fact

Ali08 but isn’t it this present partner who s just beat her up ?

tickingbird. I see. As you obviously know her personally I will bow to your superior knowledge and leave this discussion to the experts since my input is worthless.

Blossoming - they would! It’s their business. KP has never written a book in her life.

tickingbird I am not naive. It is Waterstones that describe her as a best selling author.

because she is in the public eye i think it is maybe reasonable to list katies failings
but why would anyone refer to her partner as a 'nobody'
it makes him sound unimportant and that you dosapprove
as a plumber i would say he is very much a 'somebody'
