Lee Andrews' family have hit out at the Dubai-based businessman, saying 'he was never like this.' The words come as Katie Price's fourth husband faces legal dramas after being put behind bars again.
Former Friend Releases Statement
A statement released on social media saw former pals of Lee also call him out. An ex school friend of his spoke on behalf of his family, writing: 'Kelly Andrews and I just want to take a moment to speak the truth.'
'Recent information shared has brought forward evidence that has left us both shocked. We are the first to admit when we’re wrong, and now that there is proof, we feel it’s important to acknowledge that.'
'We also want people to understand that this involves Kelly’s brother, which makes this incredibly painful for their family. The Lee we knew was never like this, which makes it even harder for us, as his sister and as a friend, to get our heads around everything that’s come to light.'
Katie Price Breaks Silence on Sex Tape Allegations
The words come after Katie broke her silence over allegations that her current husband was looking to release a sex tape of the pair. She refuted one exists and says she feels 'upset and humiliated' at the idea, which Lee was said to have been offering out for £250,000.
After an alleged voice note was sent by Lee to a friend before he was arrested for the second time for alleged fraud, Katie has had her say. She released a statement that read: 'This story is completely untrue. I have never made such a tape, and any suggestion otherwise is false and deeply misleading.'
She added: 'The claims appear to be based on a voice note sent from Lee discussing a tape...a tape which does not exist and never will. This material has been passed on by a third party and does not reflect reality. I feel incredibly upset, abused and humiliated that such serious and false allegations have been shared publicly without any factual basis.'
Lee Andrews Released from Prison
It's thought Lee might have been freed from prison for a second time earlier this week, but he has kept a low profile. Speaking to The Sun, a source said: 'Lee Andrews has today been released from Al Awir prison. He was set free this afternoon following a short stint behind bars.'
Despite his travel ban out of Dubai, it’s said that Lee is hoping to fly to the UK to be with Katie - although it’s claimed the former glamour model is 'at the end of her tether' with Lee’s legal issues.
The insider went on: 'Whether poor Katie will be there to greet him on the other side remains to be seen. Right now, she is furious with it all and fed up with all the drama and white noise her husband is bringing into her life.'
