Katie Price has shared her own statement as she hit back at her ex husband Peter Andre following his bombshell claims about their family.
Katie Price has responded to the explosive allegations made by her ex-husband Peter Andre. The 47 year old former glamour model, who shares two children with Peter - Junior, 20, and Princess, 18 - split from him in 2009, and all communication between them ceased as they navigated co-parenting.
‌
This week, tensions escalated between the former couple following a series of claims coinciding with the launch of Princess's own ITV2 series. Peter accused Katie and her family of "repeated lies", claiming he had chosen to remain silent for 16 years. This comes after their daughter Princess declared her independence from her parents, breaking her silence following a row with Katie.
‌
Now, Katie has issued her own rebuttal via Instagram, stating: "Saints and Sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners, reports the Mirror.
‌
"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."
Katie continued: "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 I 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. Anyway, all you Sinners keep your heads up and keep trying to be better. All you Saints, it's ok not to be perfect."
‌
Yesterday, Peter released his own statement as he fumed: "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."
Following Peter's revelations, a spokesperson for Katie told the Mirror: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslight and bullied as she once was.."
‌
Princess also broke her silence for the first time, responding to a question about her parents on Snapchat. A fan asked her on the platform: "Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don't get on?'".
In response, Princess 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."
She added a note on top of the clip, stating: "I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters xxx."
