Katie Price Faces Backlash Over Video Amid Bankruptcy Proceedings
Katie Price Faces Backlash Over Video Amid Bankruptcy Proceedings

Katie Price has sparked criticism after posting a video on Instagram in which she appears to make light of her financial situation. The former glamour model, 46, is seen sitting on a deck chair with her dog, saying: "Dealing with my finances privately, is very respectful and very demure."

The video comes a week after a scheduled public examination in her bankruptcy case was adjourned. Price attended the hearing at the Rolls Building in London on 27 August, where her legal team requested a postponement to allow for a private interview with her bankruptcy trustee. Chief Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Nicholas Briggs granted the adjournment after Price gave an undertaking to attend the private interview on 24 September.

As she left court, Price told journalists: "I hope you reporters write a good story today, won’t you, all the bulls**t that you write, scumbags." She had arrived wearing an all-black outfit and oversized sunglasses.

Price was first declared bankrupt in 2019 and again in March 2024 due to a tax debt exceeding £750,000. She was recently arrested at Heathrow Airport upon her return from Turkey, where she had undergone a £10,000 facelift and dental work. The arrest followed her failure to attend a previous bankruptcy hearing, leading to a warrant being issued.

In the comments on her latest video, some followers criticised her approach, with one calling it "sad and childish" and another questioning whether she understood the meaning of "demure." However, some supporters defended her, with one comment stating: "This is so iconic. You tell them Katie."
