Katie Price’s ex Alex Reid is rushed to hospital with a suspected bleed on his brain after walking around ‘punch drunk’

by

Alex Reid shared on Instagram Tuesday that he was hospitalized after doctors suspected he had a brain bleed.

Alex Reid, a 50-year-old former MMA fighter and ex-husband of Katie Price (they were married for 11 months in 2010), recently shared news from the hospital that he had a CT scan.

Alex says he’s waiting for an MRI because his walk has become unsteady, almost like someone suffering from the effects of repeated head trauma.

The winner of Big Brother believes past injuries from martial arts training might be affecting his health now.

Sharing a quick update from the hospital waiting room, the dad of four said he’s been receiving care since 9 this morning.

I’ve already had a CT scan, and now I’m waiting for an MRI to see if there’s any bleeding in the back of my brain.

I’m really worried about how I’ve been walking recently. People keep thinking I’m drunk, but I’m not – it’s just the way I’m moving now. It’s frustrating and unsettling not understanding what’s causing it.

‘The pain, the imbalance, the uncertainty… it’s all become really hard to live with.’

Okay, so Alex isn’t against martial arts, not at all! He just really, really wants to help younger fighters. He keeps saying we need to make sure they’re training the right way, focusing on safety, and seriously, always wearing headgear. It’s like, he just cares so much about protecting them, and I totally get it! He’s just trying to look out for the next generation of fighters, that’s all!

He clarified that this wasn’t a criticism of martial arts or fighting, and he wasn’t discouraging anyone from participating in combat sports. He expressed his deep love for the sport, stating it was a central part of his life.

After hundreds of fights, years of martial arts, and taking countless hits – I even have the cauliflower ears to show for it – I want the next generation of fighters to prioritize smarter training. Protect yourselves with headgear, focus on your long-term health, and don’t just think about the immediate fight.

‘Thank God the scans so far have shown no tumours’. 

Alex’s father died at the age of 77 after battling a brain tumor, and while this was a difficult time, Alex wanted to share the news with fans to help raise awareness about the disease.

He shared that his father died at 77 after battling a brain tumor, and hearing the news today, while sad, brought a sense of relief.

Okay, so things are… tense. I’m basically on pins and needles waiting for the results of some tests. They’re checking to see if there’s any bleeding in my brain, or if there’s any damage that could explain why I’ve been so clumsy and unsteady on my feet lately. It’s terrifying, honestly, just hoping to understand what’s going on with my body. I just want answers!

I’m sharing this openly and honestly to give people a real look at what happens privately.

‘Combat sports are incredible – but your health is everything.

I’ll let you all know as soon as I have the results. Thanks so much for all the kind messages and support today!

Practicing martial arts involves repeated blows to the head, which can potentially cause brain damage and lead to long-term conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy, sometimes referred to as ‘punch-drunk syndrome’.

This can lead to issues like forgetfulness, disorientation, sadness, and difficulty controlling impulses. Over time, it may even develop into dementia.

Okay, so this whole thing started because Alex went and posted a video – a video! – from August of Katie Price, and honestly, it was just… a lot. She’s been going through so much, financially, and the video showed her counting stacks of cash. It’s been driving me crazy trying to figure out where it all came from and what it means! I’ve been following every detail, and it all started with that video leak.

The retired mixed martial artist announced on Instagram that he’s revealing what he believes is the truth about the model, shortly after Peter Andre claimed she was spreading false rumors.

Katie filed for bankruptcy twice in 2019 and again last year due to a large, unpaid tax debt. However, she was released from both bankruptcies last year.

The video, reportedly from 2020, captures the celebrity happily counting stacks of money while talking to her daughter, Princess Andre.

There’s no indication Katie tried to hide the money. In a video, she actually says she’s ‘sorting it out,’ implying she’s dealing with a large amount of cash.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m often asked about public figures and their personal matters. Regarding the recent video circulating, I can share that Katie Price proactively shared it with her bankruptcy trustee months ago. She’s been fully cooperative throughout their investigation, and everything is being handled appropriately.

The money in question wasn’t Katie’s, and the property involved was addressed as part of the financial arrangements made during her divorce from Peter Andre.

Katie’s bankruptcy trustee knows about the property and has likely already checked if it should be considered part of her bankruptcy assets.

Someone familiar with the situation said Peter was deeply upset after watching the video, especially because it involved his young daughter.

His representatives added: ‘Peter will be dealing with this with his lawyers.’
