KP

bevispi1 You remind me of my father. he had this black and white approach to life, assuming everyone was brought up absolutely normally with a clear sense of right and wrong, and an always rational mind. While the idea of mental illness or dysfunction only existed in his mind inthe terms of someone barking made being taken away in a straight jacket.

Katie Price is a clearly a mentally disturbed woman trying desperately to keep everything going, including dealing with a severely disabled child, to whom she is clearly devoted.

She has limited education, and lets be honest, limited talents, a woman who made a lot of money from her physical assets and still struggles to do so, but over the years has slowly and inexorably been mentally overwhelmed by the complications of her life.

I have immense sympathy and pity for her. When she says she wants to go to prison, I think it is really a cry for help, to get out of the mess she is in, sort out her life and turn it around and be that pattern rectitude you think she should be.

She recognises that she needs to be told that she has to go somewhere away from all the pressures currently in her life and with psychological, financial and personal helpers, forced to confront her problems and deal with them in a way that is best for her.

Unfortunately no one can force her to this, and she is incapable of making herself do it, so prison must seem as the only way out. I feel ddeply sorry for her and her children.

The exploitation of women, complicit in their own ultimate destruction, by the media and entertainment world, is worthy of a study.

The same men who were ogling and encouraging her in her youth are the very same men who are now making unspeakable comments about her.

If you are going to make your fortune by being a plasticised blow-up sex-doll, the knack is to know when to jack it in and have another 'trade' up your sleeve, one that takes you out of the limelight and the Paparazzi viewfinder, and the false synthetic world of the glamourous A listers, and puts you back in the real world which by comparison of course is humdrum and boring.

Unfortunately, KP doesn't have the intelligence to know when to quit and, like the faded actresses of yesteryear parading in front of their bedroom mirrors in costumes from 40 years previous with mascara-streaked tears running down their cheeks at the recognition that they are now past-it, she will continue to enlarge her already engorged breasts in the vain hope that she can capture the glamour that shot her to fame.

... I think I've gone a bit OTT here, but I think you will see what I mean.

Vanity of vanities. And money of course.

It’s just more attention seeking.
She needs a good psychiatric unit not a prison.

I totally agree Monica I have a lot of sympathy for Katie Price life is never black and white and she obviously has a body dysmorphia problem never seeing her body as good enough She has made awful decisions but she would be the first to say that too She is I believe a loving mother and the children all seem very caring of each other and of their very disabled older brother
She’s probably very tired of fighting herself and the ‘haters’ She would be the first to admit that she’s a nightmare but I don’t think she’s a bad person I think she is good hearted and tries to sort herself out but never really gets there

Sago I totally disagree with your first sentence and completely agree with the second.

I've actually had the misfortune to bump into her once - and she was incredibly rude! I do agree with those who say she clearly has serious mental health issues though, and no matter what you or I or anyone else may think of her personally, she has fought tooth and nail for her son Harvey ever since he war born.

Well said M0nica, Dickens and Bluebelle.

She has been exploited and I her own worst enemy. She is trying her best but without the stable foundation to know what course to take.

She needs help.

Not I - is

Autocorrect changed that twice!

Her children love her so she must be doing something right.
I have more of a problem with people who choose Katie Price as a conversation opener.

merylStreep that’s a great comment

If she does go to prison, as he has requested, WHO is going to look after her latest canine purchase?

People keep talking about her mental issues but she just seems incredibly selfish to me. All about me, me, me. However saying that I did watch her documentary about her son Harvey and there is no disputing what a loving Mum she seems to be for Harvey.

I think I agree with everyone!

I do think, as the op says, she should have a driving license, insurance and dont drive with drink and drugs. The last one especially is not just endangering herself.

Perhaps, I don't know, one of the hardest prospects for KP to face is the one we all face to some degree or other - that of our gradual and increasing irrelevance to society as we age.

She was once one of the 'top dogs' in the (false) world of glamour, a position that anyone with a modicum of intelligence would realise cannot be sustained.

She's had a string of fairly useless boyfriends / partners, none of whom have ultimately stuck by her.

The last surgical enhancement of her already enormous boobs was a last desperate attempt to stay relevant. I wish there was someone in her life who cared enough about her to guide her along another path into the anonymity of old age.

100% agree with M0nica. I know people love to hate Katie Price but I have always admired the way she has never given up on her son, Harvey. His Father left her to it and many in her position would have gone down the care system route. You can see how she absolutely loves him to bits and her other kids treat him just like the brother he is.

I have seen her on TV with other parents of disabled kids and she is genuinely interested in them and their own kids.

Can I just point out that she said she wants to go to prison because when she gets out she can make a programme about her experience! She is "bankrupt" yet still manages several holidays a year and many surgical "enhancements".

I do, however, agree she appears to have some mental health problems and requires help for that, not a prison sentence.

thought this was about Kensington Palace! lol

I thought KP nuts! 🤣

So did I, Grannybags, at first.
I feel rather sorry for KP and yet impatient with her at the same time. I think she needs help.

I was once behind KP at a till in a shop in Horsham ,near where she lives.
The week before she had been in bankruptcy court and was also banned from driving.
We stood and we stood.
Eventually the two very flustered ladies behind the till, one ringing up and one packing, advised us all to go to find other tills as there was plenty more in baskets on the floor.
At this point her bill totalled over £700 .
It was mainly moderately priced children’s leisure wear.
I remember thinking bankruptcy couldn’t be so bad after all.
She lives in a fantasy world and one day it will explode/ implode.
Her children will also realise one day and long for a normal life.

I thought it was going to be about peanuts!

Boring.

Lots of threads are boring to different individuals. If you are not interested just do not post.
