Katie Price's husband Lee Andrews has reportedly been named as the lead defendant in a new Dubai court battle, just days after his release from Al Awir Central Prison on fraud allegations. The 43-year-old, who claims to be a millionaire businessman, is at the centre of a high-stakes property dispute brought before the Dubai Court by claimant Alexander Keya, according to The Sun.
Court Documents Reveal Lead Defendant Status
Court documents reportedly show Lee as the first-named defendant among three in the case. The documents also indicate that an accounting expert has been instructed to carry out a financial examination of the situation. The court ordered the review on July 15, 2025, with a remote judicial meeting scheduled later that month. The allegations remain the subject of ongoing proceedings, and no final judgment has been reached.
Background of Lee's Legal Troubles
Lee was released from Al Awir Central Prison after being detained on fraud allegations, which included reportedly taking out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-girlfriend's name without her knowledge. Katie Price, 48, refused to pay £140,000 in bail money after flying to the UAE to secure her husband's freedom. Following his release, Lee returned to social media, claiming he had been 'kidnapped at gunpoint', 'slapped around', and falsely accused of espionage. Dubai authorities have disputed these claims, describing the matter as a private civil dispute.
Court documents also revealed two outstanding legal cases against Lee: an alleged £54,000 debt linked to a rental car company and a separate claim for approximately £15,000 in unpaid legal fees.
False Claims About Adopting Katie's Children
Yesterday, it was revealed that Lee's claims of adopting Katie and Peter Andre's children have been branded 'complete lies'. In a cameo video obtained by The Sun, Lee responded to a fan's Father's Day request by saying: 'I haven't got children, but we're trying. I've adopted five of them. I love my wife, and I love her children.' However, Peter Andre, 53, shares daughter Princess, 18, and son Junior, 21, with Katie. A source told Metro: 'It is categorically untrue and yet another lie. They haven't even met him.'
Pattern of Deception Since Marriage
Since marrying Katie, Lee has faced multiple accusations of misleading claims and scams. When Katie named Lee as her new partner, he was selling himself as the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an 'investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness'. His social media profile, with 111k followers, featured photos appearing to show him with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian. However, these were later exposed as AI-generated images, and his company's website contained no information about its business.
Lee was also banned from leaving Dubai due to the fraud investigation, though he initially denied this. Katie later confirmed the ban but did not specify the reason. Additionally, both Katie and Lee teased a fake pregnancy early in their relationship, with Katie urging followers to pay £2.99 to see pregnancy test results, before confirming she was not pregnant.
Accusations of Scamming Women
Days after the couple married, two of Lee's exes accused him of being a 'liar, narcissist and manipulator'. Two months later, it was reported that he had been begging women for money weeks before his wedding. His ex Alana shared a post on Instagram calling him the 'Tinder Swindler', claiming multiple women had contacted her saying he tried to scam them. After Lee failed to return to the UK, Katie reported him missing, but it was later reported that he had 'ghosted' his wife and was 'squatting in a slightly run-down villa' in Dubai, using a burner phone.
