Katie Price has been issued with stark warnings from two of her new husband's former partners, who have labelled Dubai businessman Lee Andrews a "lying swindler" who systematically preys on women. The former glamour model, aged 47, entered into her fourth marriage with Andrews, 43, during an intimate ceremony over the weekend, following a whirlwind engagement announced just days prior.
Ex-Partner Alleges £123,000 Investment Scam
Crystal Janke, a 40-year-old family nurse practitioner from Texas, has come forward with serious allegations against Andrews. She claims he deceived her into transferring £123,000 as an investment in his company, promising returns that could reach an astonishing £1 million. Janke, who began a romantic relationship with Andrews last May, asserts she has been defrauded and suspects her funds were diverted to finance lavish gifts for another woman Andrews was concurrently dating.
In a direct message aimed at Katie Price, Crystal pleaded emphatically: "Do not give that man any money." She detailed how Andrews connected with Alana Percival, 32, on Facebook last March, subsequently showering her with expensive presents including a Louis Vuitton handbag, Cartier jewellery, and substantial cash transfers.
Identical Engagement Setups Raise Suspicion
Alana Percival, who sold a house to Katie Price fifteen years ago, revealed that Andrews proposed to her in September using an identical setup to the one employed for Price's engagement at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. Disturbingly, it appears Andrews may have repurposed the same Cartier ring given to Percival for his proposal to Price. Following her engagement announcement on social media, Percival was contacted by Andrews' estranged Russian wife and two other ex-partners, all labelling him a compulsive liar.
Despite these warnings, Percival admitted she initially dismissed concerns, explaining: "I never had someone basically tell me that they love me the way he does." She ultimately called off their engagement in November and has since posted explicit warnings on Instagram, tagging Katie Price directly with the hashtag #runforthehills.
Pattern of Manipulation and Deception Emerges
Both women describe similar patterns of manipulation. Crystal Janke believes Andrews had planned to propose to her in the same manner just weeks before Percival's engagement, after they had examined rings together. Her growing suspicions prompted her sister to hire a private investigator, who uncovered Andrews' simultaneous relationship with Percival.
Janke recounted: "The PI then found his ex Dina and she said, 'Run for the hills. He’s not who he says he is'. She said he scams people all the time." After ending the relationship, Janke contacted her bank and reported Andrews to police, though she holds little hope of recovering her substantial investment.
Social Media Exchanges Between Alleged Victims
The two women have connected through social media, with Crystal commenting supportively on Alana's warning post: "Keep smiling and soaking up every moment - you truly deserve it!" Alana responded cryptically: "There is so much more to this story, karma." In further Instagram Stories, Percival described how Andrews isolated her from friends and made her "shrink" herself, while Janke expressed solidarity between the alleged victims.
Family Concerns and Marital Developments
Katie Price's family have reportedly been left in the dark about her sudden marriage and are deeply concerned about the relationship's rapid progression. Sources indicate they are preparing for a "serious talk" with the celebrity about her marital decision. The couple, currently separated with Price in England and Andrews in Dubai, have already tattooed each other's names on their hands.
Andrews has taken to social media to address mounting speculation, posting videos insisting their wedding rings are on the correct fingers despite camera reversal effects, and declaring himself "the happiest man in the world." He has denied all allegations from both women to The Sun, claiming he never even met Crystal Janke, though the publication states it has seen text messages contradicting this assertion.
Police are reportedly aware of the fraud allegations, while Daily Mail has approached Katie Price's representatives for comment. The situation continues to develop as more details emerge about Andrews' past relationships and the serious accusations being levelled against him by multiple women.
