Katie Price Severed from Domestic Abuse Charity Partnership
Katie Price has reportedly been dropped by the domestic abuse charity Woman's Trust, merely two months after their partnership was publicly announced. The 47-year-old former glamour model had partnered with the organisation in December, expressing pride in her ability to help "shine a light" on the cause through fundraising efforts.
Social Media Cleanup and Charity Disassociation
Price has now updated her social media profiles, systematically deleting all mentions of her association with Woman's Trust. This digital cleanup follows a series of controversial incidents involving the television personality, who recently married businessman Lee Andrews after what she described as a "week-long romance."
The charity confirmed the separation in an official statement, noting: "Katie Price previously supported Woman's Trust through fundraising. We are grateful to everyone who supports us." They further clarified to The Sun newspaper: "She is not currently affiliated with or formally associated with the organisation."
Explosive Social Media Rants and Allegations
The partnership dissolution comes in the wake of Price's inflammatory social media activity. She recently branded her new husband's ex-partner, Alana Percival, as an "irrelevant troll" in a fiery Instagram post. In the same tirade, Price claimed to be carrying Andrews' child, writing: "I'm having his child" and declaring herself "the real feminine woman he deserves."
This social media outburst was directed at Percival, who had previously accused Andrews of financial misconduct, alleging he had "taken everything you have until you have nothing left and have to rely on him." Price's response escalated the conflict, describing Percival's claims as "constant lies and put-downs" while asserting her own position as Andrews' legitimate partner.
Denial of Physical Altercation Allegations
Simultaneously, Price has been forced to publicly deny allegations that her new husband physically assaulted Kerry Katona's boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione, during a Valentine's Day trip to Dubai. Reports suggested the altercation occurred when Margaglione intervened during what he perceived as aggressive communication between Andrews and Price.
An insider described the incident to The Sun: "Lee was having some cross words with Katie. Paolo then appeared and stepped in. Lee seemed to be very angry and was shouting at him. It all got very heated and Lee threw some punches and one of them landed Paolo square on the head."
Price vehemently denied these reports on her Instagram Stories, stating: "There has not been any punch up, punches thrown, between Lee and Paolo. If anything we had a good day and celebrated with them." She further characterized Andrews as her "absolute teddy bear" who has "never ever been aggressive, angry, or spoken to me in any sort of way."
Strained Celebrity Friendship and Wedding Plans
The alleged altercation has reportedly strained the 22-year friendship between Price and Kerry Katona, which began during their 2004 appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and included a joint tour last year. Despite the tension, Price announced that Katona and Margaglione would be "special guests" at her planned UK wedding celebration.
This wedding announcement comes despite reports that Andrews may be banned from leaving the United Arab Emirates due to previous legal issues. Sources claim the British businessman spent three weeks in a Dubai jail last year over allegations of forging a former partner's signature to obtain a £200,000 loan, though Andrews denies these allegations.
Charity's Strategic Distance from Controversy
Woman's Trust's decision to distance itself from Price appears strategically calculated to protect the charity's reputation and mission focus. Domestic abuse organizations typically maintain strict standards regarding their public representatives, particularly when those representatives become embroiled in public controversies involving allegations of violence or aggressive behavior.
The charity's brief statement carefully acknowledges Price's past fundraising support while clearly establishing current non-affiliation. This measured response allows the organization to maintain its credibility while avoiding direct commentary on the specific controversies surrounding the television personality.
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for both Katie Price and Woman's Trust for additional comment regarding the partnership termination and the surrounding circumstances. The situation continues to develop as Price maintains her social media presence while navigating multiple personal and professional challenges simultaneously.
