A BOMBSHELL video of Katie Price insulting her ex Peter Andre’s youngest kids has left the family sickened – as insiders blast: “She’s reached a new low”.
Following a dramatic week between the feuding families, Pete’s “hurt” wife Emily MacDonagh was stunned to hear Katie’s cruel dig about her children being “irrelevant”.
The fresh twist in the bitter dispute between Junior and Princess’s parents has seen Pete call in lawyers – after a 90-second clip was leaked by Katie’s second husband Alex Reid .
Mum-of-five Katie, who was declared bankrupt at the time, appears to be counting wads of cash in front of Princess while mocking the fact Pete must pay the private school fees for their eldest children.
Katie then brands Emily and her two children “irrelevant” – encouraging Princess to agree with her.
“Your dad is going to have to pay the school fees because of my bankruptcy,” Katie says in the video, believed to have been filmed in 2020.
“Does he moan about it? What does Emily say? It’s money that could be spent on her and her kids.
“They’re not going private, are they, they’re irrelevant. No one even knows who they are.”
Our source told The Sun: “Of course the focus has been on the fact Katie is counting cash while claiming to be bankrupt, but Pete has been left horrified by what she said about his family in front of Princess.
“She would only have been about 13 then – and her mum was talking like that about her own brother and sisters. It’s disgusting.
“Emily is stunned that anyone could speak about children like that. It’s a new low.
“The family don’t want Princess pulled into anymore of her mum’s drama.
“For someone who claims to want a peaceful life without any feuds, Katie isn’t leading by example.”
Katie was referring to her first husband Pete’s kids with Emily – Amelia, 11, and eight-year-old Theo.
After the video was filmed, the couple went on to welcome a third child, daughter Arabella, last year.
Since 2018, Princess and Junior have lived full-time at their dad’s house – and developed a close bond with stepmum Emily, who has been married to Pete for ten years.
He broke his 16-year silence on ex Katie after she sensationally claimed she’d been banned from starring in their daughter’s new reality show, The Princess Diaries.
Our source added: “Emily’s really hurt by the whole thing.
“She’s always been classy and taken the high road, but her protective, motherly instincts have taken over and she’s adamant she won’t let her kids be dragged down by Pete’s ex.
“This all kicked off because of Katie’s jealousy. It was her daughter’s time to shine, but she had to make it all about her.”
In a loose-lipped podcast episode, the mum-of-five furiously claimed Pete and his management banned her from any publicity with her daughter “because they think I’m trash basically”.
Katie said: “Everyone knows she’s doing this documentary – and I’m not in it.
“Certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me.
“’There’s no reason why both parents just can’t be there to support her.”
She added: Katie went on: “It’s so not fair to bring Princess piggy in the middle. So I think it’s about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it.
“Life would be more at peace because I don’t have a problem. I just think life would be a better place.”
However, those close to Pete says Katie must put her money where her mouth is and end the trash talk once and for all.
Our source continued: “Katie needs to stop. One week she is talking badly about everyone and then a few days later she wants to make a peace pact, then she’s bad talking them again.”
“It’s insane,” they added.
Hitting back after Katie’s claims Junior and Princess live with her, Pete said last week: “For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating.
“That ends today. The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight.
“For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.
“In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before out of respect for my children.”
Katie Price's missing millions
At the peak of her career Katie had an estimated fortune of £45m, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.
The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.
In a podcast interview earlier this year, she blamed her exes who include Peter Andre , Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler and lawyers for her money woes.
She insisted that funding her exes’ lavish lifestyles with cars, watches, luxury holidays and homes left her finances in tatters.
She added: “I went through a breakdown, this is how mine started – lawyers and exes, that is my bankruptcy thing.
“And obviously a bit of HMRC.
“When I had my breakdown, if anyone has been depressed… I don’t know if you’ve ever had depression.
“It starts with depression and you just want to sleep all day and not talk to anyone, the phone would ring and you wouldn’t answer it.’
In March, Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Her Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.
She finally moved out at the end of May and is renting a four-bed mansion in Sussex.
He added: “Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months.”
A spokesman for Pete and Princess’s management firm, CAN, told The Sun: “We never ever get involved in our clients’ personal lives unless they ask us to.
“We would never advise our clients to see their parents or not.
“Princess has a good relationship with both of her parents. We would rather not get dragged into any negativity.”
