Kerry Katona's boyfriend Paolo Margaglione has finally broken his silence following explosive claims that he was involved in a 'punch up' with Katie Price's new husband, Lee Andrews, during a trip to Dubai. The alleged incident, which reportedly occurred last month, has sparked widespread speculation in the showbiz world, despite the quartet initially posing for cheerful photos together.
Dubai Trip Descends into Alleged Chaos
The former Atomic Kitten singer's blissful getaway is said to have descended into chaos after she joined her pal Katie Price on her honeymoon. An onlooker alleged that the meeting turned disastrous, with Lee punching Paolo 'square on the head' in a heated altercation at their hotel. Sources claim the confrontation began when Lee had cross words with his new wife, prompting Paolo to step in, leading to shouts and thrown punches before Lee and Katie fled the scene.
Paolo and Kerry Address the Rumours
Speaking to Paul Brunson on his podcast 'We Need To Talk' this week, Paolo and Kerry made telling comments when shown a picture of themselves with Katie and Lee. Paolo declared he loved Katie 'one on one' as a person, describing her as an incredible individual who deserves love. Kerry, however, stated she didn't 'agree with all the choices she makes' and refused to delve deeper, saying, 'I have no comment. I am not giving this any oxygen.'
Kerry reportedly wasn't present during the alleged drama, learning about it from Paolo afterwards. She ended the podcast conversation firmly, noting, 'It's not my story to tell.' This follows her remarks in March, where she said she was 'so over the drama' and that Katie 'can do what she wants,' indicating a desire to distance herself from the saga.
Katie Price Denies the Allegations
Katie Price has vehemently shot down the claims in a video on Instagram, asserting, 'There has not been any punch ups, punches thrown between Lee and Paolo.' She described having a 'really good day' celebrating with them and praised Lee as non-aggressive and loving, calling him her 'teddy bear.' She even expressed hopes that Kerry and Paolo would be special guests at their upcoming wedding in England.
Sources Reveal Tension and Betrayal
According to sources speaking to The Sun, the incident has 'taken its toll' and was the 'final straw' for Kerry, who felt betrayed as Katie allegedly stood by during the altercation. One source said, 'Knowing she sat there and watched Lee go for Kerry’s man Paolo has come as a huge shock,' highlighting the decades-long friendship between Katie and Kerry. Representatives for Katie and Lee have denied the reports to the Daily Mail, adding to the conflicting narratives.
The ongoing drama has captivated fans, with Kerry previously unfollowing Lee Andrews on Instagram and expressing boredom with the situation. As the stars navigate this public fallout, the truth behind the Dubai encounter remains shrouded in mystery, leaving showbiz enthusiasts eager for more developments.
