Katie Price releases defiant statement in response to Alex Reid’s cash-counting video – while ‘disgusted’ ex Peter Andre vows to call in lawyers over explosive leaked clip

Katie Price has finally spoken out regarding her former husband, Alex Reid, sharing a hidden audio recording of her and a threatening social media message.

On Monday evening, the 47-year-old glamour model responded to the leak of a video by Alex, which portrayed the struggling celebrity seemingly counting large amounts of money. Meanwhile, Peter Andre’s team stated that they are pursuing legal action regarding this matter.

The retired professional boxer, aged 50, shared with his 119k followers on Instagram that he will be revealing the truth about Katie, whom he was married to from 2010-2012. This announcement came a few days after Peter accused her of spreading unfounded rumors.

In the video, Katie has been primarily confronted with allegations of misrepresenting her financial status. The spokespeople have stated that this video was previously shown to Katie’s Bankruptcy Trustee around several months back.

Katie has completely cooperated with the Trustee’s investigations regarding this matter. The money in question wasn’t hers, and the mentioned property was addressed during the financial settlement discussions following her divorce from Peter Andre.

The Bankruptcy Trustee handling Katie’s case is cognizant of her assets and likely has examined whether they should be included within the scope of her bankruptcy holdings.

According to a source familiar with Peter, they shared that Peter viewed the video and was deeply appalled, especially considering his own child was part of it.

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

2019 found me, a fervent admirer, witnessing a financial turmoil for the iconic Katie: bankruptcy twice in a single year, both times due to an overwhelming tax burden. Yet, in 2020, I rejoiced as she was released from those debts, finding a new start after a challenging period.

In the video, thought to be from 2020, the star appears to be discussing money with her daughter, Princess Andre, while visibly enjoying the sight of large sums of cash laid out before her.

It appears Katie didn’t need to be prompted to mention the cash, as she boasted in the video: “Look at all this… I’m just organizing it.

In addition to the video, Alex expressed: “For quite some time, I’ve observed how stories – some untrue, overblown, or intentionally manipulated – have been distributed widely among the public. Misinformation in news reports isn’t just a catchy title; it can shatter lives, reputations, and families.

This development has been a long time coming, involving countless collaborative efforts, evidence collection, and mustering the courage to declare firmly: it’s time for a change.

As a connoisseur of life and its intricacies, I can no longer remain silent. The moment has arrived for me to lend my voice. This isn’t a tale spun for idle chatter or entertainment – it’s a quest for clarity, a pursuit of the unadulterated truth.

I’m going to reveal something soon that will dispel long-held misconceptions and shed light on areas that have been shrouded in mystery for too long. The time for guessing is over, as the truth is about to be uncovered.

After Alex posted the video online, Princess Andre expressed on Instagram that she has regained her radiance or zest for life.

Following positive feedback on her ITV2 documentary series, the influencer posted a video showing her strutting down a runway in a blue swimsuit. This was a scene she had mentioned in the show as making her feel vulnerable.

The post featured the text: ‘To the girls who are getting their sparkle back.’

As your trusted lifestyle guide, let me share a personal moment with you. Expressing truthfully on the stage was not a walk in the park, yet your unwavering love and encouragement have truly touched my heart and made it all worthwhile.

‘Thank you for watching and for all the kind messages.’

It has been announced that Alex and Katie’s third husband, Kieran Hayler, are working together and seeking legal advice in an attempt to keep themselves out of a revealing Sky documentary where Katie might discuss their lives.

The upcoming three-part series, scheduled for release next year, will explore in depth her brief romances, significant relationships, and time under public scrutiny.

According to the source, they feel they are in a difficult situation with no alternatives, and all they wish is for her to cease criticizing them. They’re astonished that she’s still being provided an opportunity to speak out against them.

Somewhere else, Katie and her former husband Peter are currently embroiled in a fierce dispute following his harsh statement on Thursday, where he accused her of spreading ‘unfounded claims’ over the past 16 years.

On Friday, Katie reacted to Peter’s shocking declaration by publishing an unusual Instagram post discussing ‘hypocritical sinners who pretend to be victims.’

There have been increasing whispers about a possible strain in the relationship between Katie and her daughter Princess, following Katie’s absence at Princess’ 18th birthday celebration and her non-appearance on the ITV reality show featuring Princess, often referred to as a “nepo baby.

Later, Katie asserted that she was informed by her daughter’s team not to participate in the show.

In her extensive Instagram post, Katie humbly expressed, “I strive to be my absolute best,” acknowledging at the same time that she hasn’t always managed to be an ideal mother.

As it stands, people often view us as either holy Saints or flawed Sinners during our lifetimes. I acknowledge that I will forever be a Sinner due to my personal struggles with substance abuse – relying on drugs and alcohol.

On occasion, my battles with mental illness caused me to fall short as a mother. During these periods, I wasn’t the best friend, sibling, or partner I could have been. I made mistakes such as self-medicating, being unfaithful, causing harm to myself and others who are dear to me.

I’ve faced numerous challenges in life, including being sexually abused as a child, experiencing controlling relationships, and dealing with mental health struggles. However, I want to emphasize that I’m not using these experiences as an excuse, but rather sharing them as part of my story.

Katie went on to say, “I’ve acknowledged my problems and made efforts to move past them. Sometimes I didn’t make it, but other times I did.

As a lifestyle advocate speaking from personal experience, let me share a transformative journey. When I found myself engulfed in a dark abyss, teetering on the brink of despair, it was the profound love I have for my precious offspring that ignited the spark within me to break free. The desire to be there, to witness their growth, to share in their triumphs and tribulations, became my motivation to pull myself out of that suicidal spiral. It’s a testament to the healing power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.

I wouldn’t claim to be flawless, but I strive for my best self. There are individuals who fall into that category of being ‘saints’. Some of them are truly virtuous, while others have lent a helping hand to me.

In all honesty, I’ve been utterly captivated by these saints, but it seems they’re wearing masks that hide their true selves. Maintaining such a polished and pristine public image must be an exhausting task for them, constantly balancing on the tightrope of perfection.

Some people pretending to be saints are actually fraudulent. They often portray themselves as victims and require an ‘evil doer’ (or a ‘sinner’) to play the role of their adversary in order to appear saintly. Without someone perceived as a sinner, they can’t maintain their image as a saint.

As a Regular Person, I occasionally find myself growing weary of those who are religiously devout. Yet, perhaps there’s a reason to empathize with them; maintaining constant piety surely requires tremendous effort and self-discipline.

Regardless, everyone – whether sinner or saint – keep pushing forward in the pursuit of improvement. And remember, it’s okay for everyone to make mistakes and stumble along the way.

On a Thursday, Peter decided to clear the air by presenting his perspective, stating: “For the past sixteen years, I’ve kept quiet amidst continuous falsehoods from my former spouse and her kin, due to concern for my children and loved ones. However, remaining silent has been unbearably aggravating. This silence ends now.

Due to recent discussions regarding my children’s wellbeing and residence, I feel it necessary to clarify the situation. In 2018, for verified reasons primarily focused on their safety, Junior and Princess came under my guardianship. They stayed with me until they became adults.

In 2019, a court-ordered agreement regarding my family’s matters was established and became legally enforceable. I’ve kept this private until now, as a gesture of consideration towards my children.

In the years 2011 and 2015, official court records showed that my former wife had fabricated allegations against me. She was mandated to compensate significant damages and legal expenses, as well as issue an apology to me and my team. Regrettably, these same untruths are being perpetuated today.

I regret to say that there are numerous untruths and groundless claims I haven’t had the chance to refute yet. Over the next few months, I’ll be addressing these issues one by one.

A representative for Katie communicated to Daily Mail that Katie is currently in a healthier and more lucid state of mind, having found peace regarding the situation. This event belongs in the past, and she prefers not to engage in retaliatory remarks. Instead, she’s handling it appropriately and has now delegated it to her legal team. Katie will no longer tolerate being manipulated and mistreated as she once was.
