Katie Price Faces Backlash Over Son Harvey In New Docuseries

Katie Price's New Docuseries Stirs Controversy

Katie Price, the infamous reality TV star, is once again in the hot seat. This time, it's all sparked by a new Sky documentary that’s turning heads and raising eyebrows worldwide. The docuseries scrutinizes Price’s decisions, particularly how she handled son Harvey's early years right after his birth in May 2002. Critics are buzzing about her choice to publicize Harvey's condition and allegedly profit from it almost immediately.

Family Dynamics and Backlash

The series dives deep into Price's life, spotlighting her struggles as a single mother after Harvey's father, footballer Dwight Yorke, chose not to engage. Harvey was born with complex needs, including Prader-Willi Syndrome and blindness, but Katie remained resolute.

“He's my baby, I'm still proud, he's my boy,” shared Katie, emphasizing her commitment to her son despite their challenges.

Despite this, she made waves by jumping back into modelling and media appearances just ten days post-birth. This move didn’t sit well with everyone.

Voices of Disapproval

Katie’s mother, Amy Price, and photographer friend Jeanny Savage have publicly criticized her. Amy expressed disbelief and concern about Katie’s decision to monetize her son’s story, highlighting Harvey's vulnerability. Savage added, “I don't agree with the way she sort of pushed him into the headlines. But you know, she is that character.” Their words echo a sentiment many viewers share, questioning the ethics behind such a public life.

Katie Price's Defense

Yet, Katie stands firm. She defends her actions by stating that she has monetized her life since she was 17 and sees no reason to hide Harvey away simply because he has unique needs.

Elsewhere in the docuseries, Price touches on her tumultuous love life and her evolution from a teen glamour model to the woman she is today. "I am definitely the best version I've ever been of myself," she confidently declared. The series promises to be a candid portrayal of her journey.
