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.

Just to add I wouldn’t like to see a bad ending for KP anymore than I would for Gazza but since Peter Andre left her her life has been a slow motion car crash. I hope she can sort herself out but I just can’t see her settling down and living a life out of the spotlight.

Not interested in sisterhood Neen so don’t bother with that one. Some of the nastiest people I’ve had the misfortune to come across have been women. We’re all human beings and as for drink/drug driving to see a friend because she was lonely??? How gullible some of you are. Apparently she was out looking for more drugs. If what I have heard is true, the two youngest children were home alone.

As for reporters not being able to sleep at night? KP craves the attention of reporters. It’s all she lives for. I don’t like the way she’s sold books on the back of badmouthing and telling personal details about ex lovers so no sympathy when she’s on the receiving end of bad publicity.

Thank you lemsip

lemsip Thu 30-Sept-21 11:36:28

did anyone read the statement her family issued?
Did anyone read the staement issued by her family? this is just a small portion.

Katie Price’s family have said they are seeking help for the star in a joint statement, after she was allegedly involved in a drink-driving incident.

The star’s loved ones have said they have been concerned “for some time” about her “wellbeing and overall mental health” and want it to be acknowledged that she “is unwell”. .........

FannyCornforth Thu 30-Sept-21 11:09:05

Oh yes Galaxy
Poor Gazza. I’ve read that his doctors have said that he is almost impossible to treat because he has so many co-morbidities (I think that’s the phrase).
I don’t know if you know, but it all started when he was around seven, and he was asked to look after another little boy who was about four. And they were crossing the road, and the younger boy was killed. How awful is that.

Rosalyn69 Thu 30-Sept-21 10:46:59

I agree with Galaxy.
I think Katie is addicted to her lifestyle and I can’t see a happy ending for her.
Her relationship with Carl seems very dysfunctional.

Galaxy Thu 30-Sept-21 10:34:49

I think their are people whose lives are just tragic and it's not to do with their sex, so I feel similar about Katy Price as I do about Gazza. I cant see any way of it ending well in either case.

FannyCornforth Thu 30-Sept-21 09:46:07

I did say the same when Ant McPartlin did it

Anniebach Thu 30-Sept-21 09:41:31

If a man had done the same would the reason be ‘a cry for help’ ?

FannyCornforth Thu 30-Sept-21 09:22:08

I’ve only just heard about the drink/drug driving .
That’s grim, And possibly an attention seeking cry for help.
I hope that Katie gets it, but I doubt if (glorified spa-hotel) The Priory and it’s rehab-lite is the place to provide it.

Lucca Thu 30-Sept-21 09:06:44

I feel sorry for her of course, but if she drives while banned and drunk and kills someone, what then ? I honestly think repeat drink driving offenders should have their cars impounded while disqualified

Neen Thu 30-Sept-21 08:52:46

Wow tickingbird so you know her personally !
I very much any of that is more than your assumption. Like her or not, she is a human being and needs some privacy and everyone deserves kindness.
Whether she's broken the law is for the law to deal with and mental health is an awful thing to deal with and when you have people writing such negativity, they can be the words that make her jump.
Please becareful about peoples feelings. I know nothing about Katie, only what the media would want us to think. But where is sisterhood here and I for one will shoot up a prayer for her and her family at this time.

Sarnia Thu 30-Sept-21 08:11:09

She is crying out for help and not from yet another unsuitable man hanging on her name and 'celebrity' status. She needs to come to terms with the fact that she is in her mid 40's with countless cosmetic surgery operations inflicted on her body which have resulted in an almost cartoon-like appearance. Nobody wants to see her half naked anymore. I hope rehab can do the trick but she is facing a long road back to good health both physically and mentally.

Cold Wed 29-Sept-21 23:03:56

She pled guilty today to 3 counts: drink driving (almost double the limit), driving while disqualified and driving with no insurance, she also tested positive for cocaine at the scene of the crash but the CPS chose not to pursue this in return for a guilty plea.

She has 6 previous driving convictions/bans

She is to enter rehab at the Priory until her sentencing in mid December.

BlueBelle Wed 29-Sept-21 21:50:21

I feel for her she is such a sad complex person that she will attract the wrong men and I m sure she’s not easy to be around too
I think she is desperately lonely and that why she keeps trying to bring someone into her life … anyone
She needs time out to heal herself and learn to love herself and be satisfied with her own company
I believe she’s put herself in the priory
I hope she gets the help she so badly needs

Amberone Wed 29-Sept-21 20:49:19

BlueBelle

Having just heard on a radio programme that Katie has ‘dumped’ Carl Woods it’s pretty obvious it was him who beat her, without being named so not the grounded, sensible, perfectly nice young man you were rooting for Amber

Its an unfortunate fact that most beatings are by the ‘loving partner’

Just seen this Bluebelle thanks to someone resurrecting the thread.

Ah well. Another one bites the dust. I'm always willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt, until proven otherwise. I hope one day she finds her perfectly nice, sensible young man. But even if she did she would probably kick him in the teeth. Which may be why she always ends up with losers - the nice ones have learnt to stay away. Sad.

Casdon Wed 29-Sept-21 20:48:52

She desperately needs help, I feel even more sorry for her because she said she was driving to a friends house when she had the crash because she felt so lonely. Alcohol, drugs and loneliness is a very toxic combination. I hope she has a strong network of friends to support her, she needs that much more than a man in her life.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 29-Sept-21 20:33:44

She needs help and privacy.

I hope her children are being shielded, taken care of, loved and cuddled.

Neen Wed 29-Sept-21 20:28:03

I do feel for anyone dealing with their private lives with the press infront of them.
I'm really not sure how these show biz reporters sleep at night.

BlueBelle Wed 29-Sept-21 19:07:44

Now she has been in a car crash whilst banned I believe, and immediately admitted to have taken cocaine and been drinking
Oh dear this poor woman is going to be a victim of her own unhappiness if she is not careful

Sarnia Mon 13-Sept-21 08:32:28

Another relationship has ended acrimoniously. At the TV Awards the other night it was reported that she was trying to get off with several different men. It all smacks of desperation. I suppose she will put herself through more cosmetic surgery in a bid to try to stem the advancing years. She craves the limelight and at any price, I think. The sort of men she will attract now will be those interested by what's in it for them rather than any love for her. I feel I could write the next chapter in her life.

Audi10 Sun 12-Sept-21 11:45:58

I think Katie is a troubled soul, that seems to go from one disaster to another, her constant cosmetic procedures are a worry, lost count of how many she’s had, she’s a very insecure lady, my advice would be to take time out on her own away from the media circus that she is in, but doubtful she will do that, as the more she puts herself out there the more attention and money she makes, it’s a merry go round, I do think her children seem quite happy though, all seem to get on, and Harvey from what we know is doing well,

sad that is dreadful

FannyCornforth Sat 28-Aug-21 11:23:56

Yes, it’s in her first book.
She was raped when she was seven.
