Peter Andre has ignited a firestorm, breaking his self-imposed silence of over a decade to issue a scathing statement against his ex-wife, Katie Price. The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, took to Instagram in a furious post, responding directly to Price’s recent comments about their daughter, Princess Andre, and declaring, “That ends today.”
The public spat was triggered by Price’s remarks on her podcast, where she expressed dismay at being excluded from Princess’s new ITV reality series, The Princess Diaries, and her daughter’s 18th birthday party. Price, 47, called for a meeting with Andre to resolve their ongoing feud, a truce that Andre vehemently rejected in his blistering online post on Thursday, August 14.
Andre’s statement went far beyond a simple disagreement, delving into serious and highly personal details. He claimed he has “stayed silent for sixteen years in the face of repeated lies” from Price and her family, out of respect for his children. He asserted that he was compelled to speak out after her latest comments about their children’s “welfare and living arrangements.”
In a stunning revelation, Andre stated that for “well-documented reasons, and for their safety,” their children, Junior and Princess, have been in his care since 2018. He further claimed that a family court order from 2019 legally enforced this arrangement, a detail he had never made public before.
The statement also brought up past legal battles, with Andre alleging that in both 2011 and 2015, court cases found Price had made false claims against him, resulting in her being ordered to pay significant damages and legal costs. He concluded his post by promising to address “many more lies and baseless accusations” in the coming months.
In the wake of Andre’s bombshell, a spokesperson for Katie Price released a statement to the press, saying she “won’t be gaslit” and that the matter is now in the hands of her lawyers. This latest public exchange marks a new and even more acrimonious chapter in the former couple’s tumultuous relationship, which has been a staple of tabloid headlines since their divorce in 2009.
