Discussing the trauma she endured during her childhood, Katie said: “I got raped in a park when I was seven, then I was nearly abducted.”
“Then I worked with a photographer, the police knocked on the door and he used to drug girls with milkshakes, but I never took it.”
“One day he said ‘I want you to be naked in a white wet shirt’ and I said ‘no’ and then ‘yeah’, so my start with men wasn’t good,” she confessed.
“My first boyfriend beat me up, the next would rip my clothes up and I would have to go ring my mum naked from a telephone box, then the next one cheated on me.”
Katie continues: “So none of them were healthy and you become insecure and needy it becomes toxic. If men hadn’t been in my life I wouldn’t be bankrupt, mentally abused etc its to do with men.”
“I don’t know if that is why I do modelling because it’s like you can see me but can’t touch me.”
The mother-of-five also added: “The rape never bothered me until I did Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, and I was embarrassed. I cried because I never thought about it but it obviously bothered me.”
“My mum had a cup of tea at the cafe and I remember the police coming and looking at my knickers, and I remember the man clear as day.”
While discussing her five-week stay at the Priory rehabilitation facility in 2020, Katie opened up about how her past abuse was “part of” her later choices in life.
She said: “What happened to me as a child was part of it to. They say that’s why I’m weak with men. I just pick t***ers, don’t I?”
On the Annie Mac’s Changes podcast, Katie admitted that male figures “have always let me down.”
