Katie Price Defies Government Warnings on Dubai Trip
Katie Price has once again disregarded official government travel warnings by jetting back to Dubai to reunite with her new husband, Lee Andrews. The 47-year-old mother of five, who serves as a paid brand ambassador for Supreme CBD oil, has continued to promote the cannabis-derived products during her Middle Eastern visit, despite the region's strict prohibitions on cannabidiol.
CBD Promotion Continues Despite Legal Risks
In her latest social media video from Dubai, Price directly addressed media reports suggesting she could face jail time for discussing CBD oil in the United Arab Emirates. "There's been stuff in the media saying 'oh Kate could face jail time' because I have been speaking about CBD oil," she stated. "But the thing is, I haven't bought any CBD or gummies to Dubai. I can still talk about CBD because it is something I need for my sleep, anxiety and my aches and pains."
The reality television personality emphasized her commitment to the products, adding: "I will always take it because I want to help other people." This comes as her advertisements for Supreme CBD are currently under investigation by Trading Standards following claims that the products can cure cancer.
Family Concerns and Travel Warnings
Price's latest trip has raised significant concerns among her family members and friends, who fear she may become stranded in Dubai and unable to return to her children. According to sources close to the situation, "Katie has been warned about going to Dubai because of what is happening out there. She was boasting about her plane being empty, but that was because most people won't take the risk right now."
Her family reportedly believes she "isn't thinking straight" due to her obsession with Andrews, whom she married in January after knowing him for less than two weeks. Despite numerous red flags about Andrews' background and credibility, Price remains adamant about his honorable intentions, refusing to acknowledge concerns raised by those closest to her.
Regulatory Scrutiny and Previous Controversies
The Advertising Standards Authority has confirmed receiving complaints about Price's Supreme CBD advertisements, with the matter now referred to Trading Standards for further investigation. An ASA spokesperson revealed: "We've received a small number of complaints about Supreme CBD and Katie Price's ads. Trading Standards acts as our legal 'backstop'. In parallel, our compliance team is continuing to assess what further action may be appropriate."
This isn't the first controversy surrounding Price's promotion of CBD products. Last year, she sparked outrage by supporting Supreme CBD founder Anthony Fowler's claim that his company's products had "healed" his two-year-old child's tumor, after he publicly refused chemotherapy treatment for the toddler.
Celebrity Endorsements and Market Impact
CBD products have gained significant popularity among British celebrities, with figures including Kerry Katona and former footballer Matt Le Tissier joining Price in promoting various cannabidiol brands. Marketed as helping regulate mood, appetite, and sleep patterns, these products have created a substantial wellness industry despite ongoing regulatory challenges.
Price's continued promotion in Dubai represents a particularly risky move given the Middle East's unambiguous stance on cannabis-related substances, where personal use and possession remain strictly prohibited under local laws that carry severe penalties including imprisonment.
