In a move that has sparked widespread criticism, former glamour model Katie Price has taken to social media to publicly mock Britain's Got Talent star Francine Lewis. The controversial video was filmed from her bed as she continues to recover from a recent surgical procedure.
The footage shows Price, 46, lying in bed surrounded by plush cushions, theatrically counting a stack of banknotes. In a voice laden with sarcasm, she directly imitates Lewis's famous 'cash me outside' catchphrase from her 2013 BGT audition, which itself was an impression of another reality star.
A History of Public Spats
This is not the first time Price has targeted the impressionist. Their feud has played out publicly for years, with Lewis previously criticising Price's life choices and parenting on various television programmes. This latest video appears to be a direct retaliation, though its timing and nature have been called into question.
Backlash and Criticism
The online reaction was swift and largely condemnatory. Followers and critics alike flooded the comments section, expressing disbelief at the post-surgery behaviour.
Public sentiment seemed to focus on several key issues:
- The perceived lack of class in mocking another performer.
- The bizarre nature of flaunting cash while recuperating.
- Questions over the ongoing very public nature of their feud.
Many suggested that focusing on her recovery would be a more productive use of her time, rather than reigniting old celebrity grudges.
An Ongoing Saga of Surgery and Scrutiny
Price is no stranger to the spotlight or to surgical procedures, having been open about her extensive history with cosmetic surgery. This latest operation adds another chapter to that story, though the specific details of this surgery have not been fully disclosed.
This incident highlights the blurred lines between personal feuds, public persona, and the relentless pace of social media, where moments of post-surgery vulnerability become stages for public performance and controversy.
