Katie Price took to social media to share a post about ‘saints and sinners’ after ex-husband Peter Andre released a scathing statement and acknowledged her wrongdoing over the years
Katie Price took to Instagram to send a cryptic post about “saints and sinners” just a day after ex-husband Peter Andre’s scathing statement. Katie, 47, took to the social media platform and appeared to aim thinly veiled digs at the singer, 52.
And as she did so, she candidly opened up about her past and explained the traumas she has faced. However, she also claimed some people in life put on a front to protect their image.
In her cryptic post, Katie wrote: “Saints and Sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners. I know I will always be seen as a Sinner. That’s fair, I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol.
“At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I’ve self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love.

“I’ve had my reasons – I was sexually abused when younger; had relationships that have been coercive; and my mental health issues – but I don’t want to make excuses. I’ve recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me. Sometimes | tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded.
“I’ve pulled myself out of a suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them. I don’t pretend to be perfect by any means – but I’m trying to be the best I can.”
She went on: “Then there are the ‘Saints’. Some are genuine and some have helped me. But some Saints are not who they would have you believe they are.
“They have a carefully managed image which must be exhausting to maintain. Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a villain…or at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don’t get to be the Saint…
“As a Sinner – I sometimes get bored of these Saints. But maybe I should feel sorry for them, It must be such hard work having to pretend all the time.” Katie concluded by saying: “Anyway, all you Sinners keep your heads up and keep trying to be better. All you Saints, it’s ok not to be perfect.”
The comment came a day after Peter furiously took to the platform as the feud between the pair intensified after their 18-year-old daughter’s recent reality TV show, The Princess Diaries aired. While Peter is involved in the making of the show, Katie says she was shunned by the production team.
Peter said: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.
“The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.
“In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases, found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.”
And Princess also opened up on the family feud on social media. One fan on Snapchat asked her: “Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don’t get on?’
Princess then said in a video on the platform: “To be honest it doesn’t affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don’t even have any memory of them being together.”
Writing on top of the clip, she added: “I love my mum and dad and that’s all that matters xxx.”
The Mirror has approached Peter Andre’s spokesperson for comment.
