After seeing todays verdict that yet again she is getting away without a jail sentence, only to just do community service! Will she ever learn???

H1954 Fri 24-Jun-22 15:21:32

I don't think she will ever learn........not until she has to complete a custodial sentence. If any non-famous female had behaved in the same way they would have been sent down!

Sending people to prison must always be a last resort. I think she appeared at the Crown Court where mitigating circumstances were accepted by the Judge.

She was sentenced to an 18 month community order, to carry out 170 hours of community work, with an additional 20 hours for breach of a suspended sentence for driving matters. She has to pay £1700 costs. That has to be a more effective sentence than a short prison sentence.

Yes I agree

MissAdventure Fri 24-Jun-22 16:19:03

I agree, too.

I agree 3

It's pointless sending her to jail. I think it's going to end in disaster though. I cant really bear to watch.

same as galaxy

Iam64 Fri 24-Jun-22 16:29:37

Yes - I agree Galaxy, she’s in a real mess. Her ‘boyfriend’ was charged with using threatening, abusive words.behaviour towards her after she was ‘allegedly’ punched in the face during an altercation between them. Those charges have been dropped.
There are five children in the middle of this chaotic, unstable life. Very sad for them and their mother.

Allsorts Fri 24-Jun-22 16:31:13

She’s her own worst enemy, very sad for her and children.

Galaxy Fri 24-Jun-22 16:32:28

I dont know how to say this but there are some famous people (frequently women) where tragedy seems inevitable, it must be beyond words for their families, this in no way means I dont think what she has done is appalling. I felt the same watching Paula Yates. I hope I am wrong.

I agree. It reminds me of the despairing feeling I got every time there was a news report about Amy Winehouse.

Blossoming Fri 24-Jun-22 16:53:46

It won’t end well. Unfortunately it will damage others as well.

sodapop Fri 24-Jun-22 16:57:52

Sadly Katie Price doesn't learn from experience and will lurch from one crisis to the next. As Blossoming said unfortunately other people will be collateral damage.

MissAdventure Fri 24-Jun-22 17:15:20

One of my exes (a kickboxer) knew one of her exes (that may give a clue)

From the moment he met her, he told people he intended to use her to further his own interests: he didnt have a good word to say for her.
Then I would see all the old twaddle about how much in love they were in the press.

How sad. She is collateral damage herself, it seems, and vulnerable to being preyed upon.

Galaxy Fri 24-Jun-22 17:16:41

Yes he was a piece of work that one.

MissAdventure Fri 24-Jun-22 17:19:03

Yes, weren't they? wink

Chocolatelovinggran Fri 24-Jun-22 17:22:25

I just wish she'd stop driving!

Deedaa Fri 24-Jun-22 17:27:51

The sad thing is that she presents herself like a blow up doll and is then disappointed by the sort of men she attracts. It's a pity she broke up with Peter Andre, he seemed to be able to tease her ito some sort of normality.

I agree with Galaxy Amy Winehouse, Paula Yates and of course leading on from Paula, poor Peaches. What a tragedy that was.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 24-Jun-22 17:29:31

She needs help not a prison sentence.

Galaxy Fri 24-Jun-22 17:32:07

I would like to think we had learnt something about not parading teenagers topless when they are barely out of childhood but although page 3 has gone I remember one of the geordie shore stars speaking with utter despair over what she had done on live TV.

MissAdventure Fri 24-Jun-22 17:32:38

Yes, I agree with that.
Also agree that some celebs just seem to lurch from one disaster to another, possibly no more than some ordinary people do, though, I'd guess.

3nanny6 Fri 24-Jun-22 17:59:25

Katie Price really started to deteriorate when her eldest Harvey became more independent and went off to live in assisted housing which she said she wanted him to although
I think she missed him a lot as she had a strong bond with him.
All her messing about with these different men is doing her no favours and she has not been properly settled since she ended things with Peter Andre. These days she seems to do everything for attention and most of the attention she is getting is negative. It is a shame really although she still keeps her appearance upkeep quite good and makes sure she still looks the part of a glamour model inside she is a troubled person and also she will eventually age and she will need more than her glamour to keep her man.

Livey Fri 24-Jun-22 17:59:46

Am I the only one that has no sympathy for her.
Her children, yes, not only for the way she behaves but how she appears to bring them up.
I am thinking of Princess, and way she was allowed to wear makeup and act like her mother,
Thank goodness, her dad step in.
Yes, Peter Andre was certainly good for her and his children.
Please put me right, if I am wrong here, but I recall when she was pregnant with Harvey, the drinking and parties never stopped.

3nanny6 Fri 24-Jun-22 18:05:31

I also agree with other posters about the celebs and one that comes to mind is Kerry Catona she went through times when she was addicted to cocaine. She always suddenly comes back into the spotlight with her peroxide hair and looking like she has just had an amazing face lift I don't know how these celebs do it but they just keep going.
