A move Katie Price made over daughter Princess reportedly triggered ex-husband Peter Andre into making his bombshell statement

Peter Andre released a furious statement last week aimed at ex-wife Katie Price

A controversial decision Katie Price made is said to have prompted ex-husband Peter Andre’s furious statement against her.

The glamour model was seen getting yet another cosmetic surgery this week as she was photographed in Turkey after having undergone a facelift in Istanbul. Katie, 46, was snapped walking through a hotel restaurant in the city with surgical bandages visibly applied to her head.

The images came on the same day that daughter, Princess Andre, 18, launched her new four-part documentary series on ITV2. Now it has been reported that the images of Katie were what prompted Peter to lose his temper as Katie has been accused of attempting to steal the limelight from her daughter.

Katie was allegedly banned from taking part in the reality series as it was made in a deal with the same management company as Peter works with. “Katie would have known exactly when those pictures were going to be published. She has form for setting picture opportunities up with the paparazzi and this appears to be no exception, a source told the Daily Mail. “They went out at 1.21pm on the same day of Princess launching her show.”

The source then brutally slammed her for the move and claimed it was “an attempt to take some of the attention away from her own daughter”.

They also claimed that Katie’s refusal to support their daughter in her TV career was a huge trigger for Peter and sparked his scathing statement. Accusing Katie of “making up lies” and “slagging off her own daughter’s show”, they continued: “She even said she wouldn’t be watching it. Imagine the hurt for Princess. Peter knew Katie would have something to say but nobody thought it would be this bad.”

Peter, 52, slammed Katie on Instagram in a statement that read, “For 16 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. Unfortunately there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.”

Katie subsequently responded with a post that read, “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.”
