Katie Price has criticised her ex-partners for being “obsessed” with her in the wake of her public feuds with both Peter Andre and Alex Reid, which came to a head this week
Katie Price has spoken out about the intense scrutiny surrounding her life, hitting back at her ex-partners and insisting she is no longer willing to be “bullied or gaslighted”.
This week, a video emerged appearing to show Price counting large amounts of cash while seated beside her daughter Princess, 18, whom she shares with Peter Andre.
In the footage, which was released by Alex Reid, Price branded Andre’s wife Emily and their two children “irrelevant”. At one point, Princess asked whether her mother would be contributing to school fees, to which Price replied that her father could “sit on that”, while raising her middle finger.
The video sparked an angry reaction from Andre, and sources close to him have said he was “shocked” by Price’s remarks.
“It’s not about the money,” one insider told The Mirror. “He was stunned that she would do this in front of their young child and say his young children are irrelevant. How could a mother do that about young children?”
The 46-year-old model and television personality addressed the ongoing headlines in the latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show.
She told listeners: “It’s been full on but I want people to know. I own my s***. It’s very well documented. I’ve always said how I learned from my past. I’d always have a reaction to things and then it would spiral out of control and this and that.
“As in spiral out of control – as in to make more headlines. I’m so at peace with everything – at peace. I don’t need to rise to people and that. What I say on my podcast is my opinion and what I feel and I don’t lie about anything. Nothing.
“Behind the scenes, obviously we’ve had things checked and everything’s in my lawyers’ hands now. I’m not being bullied or gaslighted anymore, from anybody. I find people from my past – to still go on about me, it’s like are they all that obsessed? Get on with your own life.”
A spokesperson for Price has said that the footage Reid shared of her counting cash was not new and had already been shared with her bankruptcy trustee, while maintaining that the money in the clip “did not belong to Katie”.
Price has faced ongoing financial issues over the past decade. She was declared bankrupt in 2019 over debts of £3.5 million and again in March last year for £761,994.
Reid is one of her creditors, and Price owes him £175,000 in damages and costs. Reid claimed this week that the resurfaced footage proved she had misled the public, saying: “It’s not about rumour, it’s about reality. After years of silence, the time has finally come to reveal all.”
Although she is currently facing controversy, Price told her podcast audience that she feels “at peace” and is more resilient than ever. On another recent episode, she spoke about her financial issues, sharing: “I’ve worked so hard to communicate and get rid of what caused all the trouble. I’m in control of everything now.”
