In a dramatic turn of events that has set social media ablaze, Katie Price has unleashed a furious tirade against her former partner Dwight Yorke. The explosive confrontation comes after their son Harvey was photographed wearing a Manchester United football kit - the very club where Yorke achieved legendary status during his playing career.
The Emotional Trigger
The situation reached boiling point when Harvey, who lives with complex medical needs including Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, and blindness, was seen sporting the iconic red jersey. For Price, this represented more than just team colours - it symbolized what she perceives as Yorke's ongoing absence from their son's life.
'He's never been there for Harvey,' the reality star declared in an emotional outburst. 'He doesn't get to suddenly appear when it's convenient or when there's publicity involved.'
A History of Tension
The relationship between Price and Yorke has been strained for years, with the former model frequently speaking out about what she describes as Yorke's lack of involvement in Harvey's upbringing. The 21-year-old requires constant care and support, a responsibility Price has shouldered almost single-handedly according to her accounts.
Yorke, now 52, enjoyed a celebrated career with Manchester United between 1998 and 2002, winning numerous trophies including the historic treble in 1999. His connection to the club makes the kit incident particularly poignant - and painful for Price.
Social Media Fallout
The incident has sparked heated debate online, with supporters divided between both parties:
- Some argue Price has every right to feel angry given Yorke's limited involvement
- Others suggest the public nature of the dispute could affect Harvey
- Many question whether the football kit should become such a contentious issue
'This isn't about football,' one commentator noted. 'It's about years of perceived abandonment and the raw emotion of a mother protecting her child.'
The Bigger Picture
Beyond the immediate drama lies a deeper story about co-parenting challenges, especially when one parent is in the public eye and the child has additional needs. Price has been vocal about Harvey's requirements and the difficulties of navigating his care alone.
The Manchester United kit has become an unexpected symbol in this ongoing family saga, representing both connection and separation in equal measure.
