Katie price

Sago

She is a disgrace to womanhood.

Very harsh, she is deeply troubled, I dont have the answers, maybe prison might teach her a lesson, maybe not. She does need help though.

I don't follow or watch Katie, particularly, so it's very possible I have missed these things, but I havent seen or heard about the vicious texts to exes, heavy parting in front of her children.
I'm off for a Google, unless anyone has links?

Oops. Petting, not parting.

Miss A - that wonderful most read on line newspaper, the DM covers Katie and others extensively

I haven’t gleaned all my information about KP from the DM. For goodness sake all the ills of the world aren’t down to the Mail.

She writes columns (or did) for magazines, appears on numerous tv shows, whether reality shows or guesting on chat shows, writes (?) books. If there’s a media opportunity she’s there. She has made millions in the process. There are far more deserving of my sympathy than Katie Price. She’s a shrewd operator and is well known for being a devil to her exes. Plus she did attack Peter Andre’s wife in print not so long ago. Something about trying to turn the children against her if I remember correctly.

I don’t hate the woman or wish her any harm; I dislike how deceptive she is plus how so many are taken in by her.

She is very poorly. She needs to be hospitalised and treated. But yes she is her own worst enemy and can only see her own worth by having a man by her side which is terribly damaging
She suffers from extremely low self esteem and makes poor lifestyle choices

I feel deeply sorry for her and have been appalled by some of the very nasty thing said about her on this thread.

I don't think a history of being a page 3 girl, or a glamour model, is likely to be the cause of Katie Price's problems. A number of page 3 girls stayed in the limelight and went on to do other things - Linda Lusardi, Sam Fox, Nina Carter, Jilly Johnson, Jodie Marsh to name a few. Many others just gave it up to get married and have families. You might not like what they do but it certainly doesn't mean they will end up 'damaged' in any way. I agree with others that she craves attention, mainly from men, and when she's not getting what she wants she goes into self-destruct mode. For therapy to work you have to accept what you are learning about yourself, and like many alcoholics, I don't think she is equipped to face reality. I do wonder how she is ever going to face the fact that she's getting older and men are not going to be chasing her in the future.

I think if you knew what prison was like you might change your mind, criminals learn more about how to commit crime in prison than when they are on the outside. My brother studied criminal law

Lemsip I think you will find that she 'trolled' Emily Andre and made insulting remarks. If she has behaved in a similar way with with the girlfriend of her ex, then it adds to the unhappiness she is creating for others and herself.

Nobody can possibly judge whether or what a,certain circumstance did to someone else's mental state, because everyone is an individual.

You may as well say that a person shouldn't have broken their leg because hundreds of others didnt.

I worked with Sam Fox many times fund raising for MIND.
What a hardworking, honest and open person she was. A delight.

I watched a programme with Sam Fox and other page 3 girls on it, a while back.
There wasn't one who didn't shed a tear, thinking how manipulated they were at ridiculously young ages.

Yes it a bit like the happy hooker narrative. Its not ok for teenagers to be on page 3. Its really creepy and thank god it doesnt happen anymore. Although obviously young people are damaged in other ways these days.

With Sam Fox the nation was actually waiting for her to be "of age", as the paper published more and more revealing pics each week, promising that she would bare all on her birthday!

Beyond grim.

Yep.
I hadn't really ever considered any of that, as page 3 was just normal when I was growing up.

Powerful men, ambitious, naive young girls.

I mean there is obviously a strong argument that what came after it was much worse. But I suppose you could also argue that page 3 led the way in normalising that behaviour.

It's a very complex issue, I agree.
That's why blanket statements don't help.
I couldn't begin to understand it, any more than I can understand why people who seem to have everything suffer depression.

Sago is right.

I tell you who I feel sorry for...her children and all the people/businesses she owes money to. She is bankrupt, but still manages to live a life of indulgence. I also feel sorry for the animals/pets in her care.
I cannot stand her! She is a narcissist who feeds off constant attention. Her agent does a very good job keeping her in the public eye.
Despicable woman!

I don't think I made that very clear. I am not saying that page 3 entertainment was acceptable, or that the girls were not manipulated. And certainly many were far too young to be doing what they were doing. I just don't accept that everything Katie Price has done stems from her involvement in glamour modelling per se. It is quite likely that the attention she got as a young girl fed into her need for adulation. Or maybe the attention she got created the need for adulation. Who knows. Either way I feel a bit sorry for her because I don't think she has it in her to break the cycle.

Why do sone people get so worked up about Katie Price?

I have found out who she is, (having worked out that Katy Perry is the other one) but can honestly say she does not feature on my radar.
Should I care?

It's up to you, isn't it? No one else cares.

Katie Price needs help that is evident. Whether she will accept it, unless made to, is uncertain.
