What advice would you give Katie Price?

Poor women. It looks like another relationship has gone terribly wrong.
I’ve always liked her and really hope she finds happiness one day.

On a wider note, ( & my sister is one ) why do some women think any man is better than no man?
I’m not suggesting KP thinks that, but plenty of women put up with such awful men, sometimes for their entire lives.

Ladyleftfield I think you are wrong about the children I think she is actually a caring mum and the kids all seem happy and caring
I feel sorry for her children, most of whom appear to have caring fathers. I think you may be slightly wrong her eldest sons father has had nothing to do with him since his birth Peter Andre certainly seems to have done a good job but I also think he is still fond of Katie Price I don’t know anything about the younger twos fathers involvement, but surely it’s testament to a good mother to allow the father involvement
and a positive relationship

Should any of her children still be living with her ? She leads a very chaotic life and in my opinion is not a "good mother".
I remember a few years ago a national newspaper allegedly showed the state of her house and a swimming pool that was stinking. Surely children should be brought up in clean surroundings.

It must be difficult to move on somehow from a life which was initially based on being young and attractive, and little else. The men in her life, with the exception perhaps of Peter Andre, have all leached from her and tried to make a career out of being Katie Price's ex. Andre isn't a lot better to be honest, a nice enough chap I think, but a bit of a nobody, one hit wonder, before he met her. Advice? Relax, you are a good mother, lay off the cosmetic surgery, don't feel your life has to be validated by having a man in it.

I wouldn't give her any advice as she wouldn't listen.

Callistemon Tue 24-Aug-21 15:02:58

Sorry,, typo!

Callistemon Tue 24-Aug-21 15:02:30

I think she's a troubled soul but underneath all i imagine that is a nice young woman who makes bad decisions.

It's a pity she and Peter André split up.

tippytipsy Tue 24-Aug-21 15:02:18

I'm not sure what I would say to her because it is her life to live as she chooses. I don't think she is hurting anyone else. But sometimes I do feel sorry for her so I hope she can be happy.
What I like is that she doesnt really care what people say about her. She always bounces back and carries on. I haven't seen too much whingeing from her or teary eyes or any interviews blaming other people.

I know almost nothing about her. I’d probably advise her not to have any further cosmetic procedures but I doubt she’d be any more interested in me than I am in her, tbh.

Silverbridge Tue 24-Aug-21 10:30:09

What advice would I give her? Go and live quietly somewhere without a man in tow. Find a way to be happy without constant attention-seeking. It isn't going to happen, is it?

trisher Tue 24-Aug-21 10:26:41

I can't even imagine the life KP has led. I'm sure sometimes she has made bad decisions, and mistakes (haven't we all). I feel sorry for her and the way she has been completely taken over by the celebrity/appearance culture and lifestyle. Her dependence on completely unreliable men is unfortunate.

I don't think I can give advice to Katie Price, or anyone else, as my own life has hardly been a huge success. But I do just wonder why she feels the need for endless plastic surgery which has made her look worse, not better.

A couple of years ago I was in a queue behind a young woman buying clothing in a chain store.
When her shopping got to over £700 the two assistants on the till suggested to the rest of us that we seek other tills as there was a lot more in baskets which we couldn’t see.
I wouldn’t have known her from Adam but was told it was Katie Price.
She was no more attractive when not “done up” than most people.
She had been declared bankrupt and also banned from driving in the few weeks previous to this.
She frequently holidays in exotic locations and undertakes medical beautifying procedures, someone must be paying and reaping some sort of benefit.
My advice would be to wake up and smell the coffee.
Normal life is not so bad and can be very happy and a man isn’t vital to achieve this state.

FannyCornforth Tue 24-Aug-21 10:02:23

The plastic surgery is paid for by the foreign plastic surgeons who do it.
I presume that her holidays while she has the procedures done are paid for by them too.
The plastic surgery companies then get all the publicity that she drums up.
Remember her trip where she ‘broke her foot’ and it was said that she may never walk again?
It’s all very grim.

Allegedly she is bankrupt but manages to have any number of facelifts, Breast enhancements etc. I don’t feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for her children, most of whom appear to have caring fathers. I gather the Andre children spend most of their time with their father and his wife and family. Her eldest disabled son lives in sheltered accommodation. And yes, she does give the impression that any man is better than no man. How do I know all this? I read OK magazine at the hairdressers.

tickingbird Tue 24-Aug-21 09:40:58

I think an awful lot of you believe all the media nonsense around Katie Price. She knows how to play the game. I don’t believe she’s a good mother at all. Ok her children aren’t being abused or beaten but why is she a good mother? She has 5 children by 3 different men and, if the press are to be believed, is trying for another with this man.

She once appeared on some celebrity therapy type show where different celebs spent an hour with a psychologist of some kind discussing their issues. She cried and said she couldn’t leave Harvey to even attend Junior’s events at school. She couldn’t bear to be parted from him. Total lies and all for sympathy and column inches. She was often out and about and Harvey wasn’t in attendance.

When married to Peter Andre she treated him like dirt- on camera. She was disrespectful to his parents and family and as she used to say to him repeatedly “it’s all about me”. When he left her life spiralled out of control as she tried to make him jealous with stunt after stunt and it all backfired.

I agree it all stems from insecurity and she lurches from one relationship to another seeking some kind of validation but she can be a nasty piece of work when she doesn’t get her own way.

I used to quite like her years ago but I’ve seen through the facade I’m afraid and what is apparent is that she can’t be told about anything so giving her advice would be a waste of time.

Spot on Aveline.

Aveline Tue 24-Aug-21 09:30:31

And how has this been 'leaked' to the press?

annsixty Tue 24-Aug-21 09:19:06

She was allegedly attacked in her home Fanny .
Her attacker was a 32 year old man who was arrested.
Her current fiancé is a 32 year old man.
One draws conclusions.

Oh and if what is alleged is true then the police will obviously need to follow the procedure with regard to domestic violence and children as however damaged and unhappy I think Katie Price is there are children involved and they are the priority.

What has been alleged?

FannyCornforth Tue 24-Aug-21 08:44:52

Sorry Galaxy my post was following on from yours at 8.37

FannyCornforth Tue 24-Aug-21 08:43:50

And Galaxy, she was supremely successful at it.
She was hardly going to turn her back on it, aged 25 or whatever, and become an estate agent.
Her physicality was tied up with her entire self identity and others’ perception of her.

Galaxy Tue 24-Aug-21 08:37:32

Yes because as a teenager well I would say child this was presented to her as the way to make money. And once she took it there wasnt much of a route out. She seems to me one of the most unhappy women I have ever seen.

Aveline Tue 24-Aug-21 08:34:27

Katie Price makes a living from being in the public eye. Bad publicity is better than no publicity and she has 'sold' every aspect of her life good and bad.
