Katie Price’s mother Amy has slammed her exes for speaking out about her drink-driving arrest.
The former glamour model pleaded guilty to drink-driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance after she crashed her car on Tuesday morning.
The mother-of-five has since checked herself into rehab, and has promised her kids she will get better.
After the news hit headlines on Tuesday, a number of Katie’s exes spoke out about her arrest – including Kieran Hayler and Kris Boyson.
The 43-year-old’s mother has since released a statement on Instagram, taking aim at those who have done interviews about Katie.
The statement reads: “I am setting out my concerns as Kate’s mother because I don’t know how else to address the issues that have arisen on social media and in the press.”
“I know better than most that Kate has made a career in which she has engaged with and benefitted from the press so I am not seeking to portray them as the bad guys and Kate as a victim.”
“My daughter behaved appallingly when she got behind the wheel or a car intoxicated. She could have killed herself or someone else’s child. I don’t hide from that and neither does Kate.”
“But Kate is not well. We asked as a family to have some space and privacy. Since our plea as a family there have been over 35 articles from various sources and interviews from ex-partners/husband all with an opinion,” she continued.
“Many of these articles are complete fabrication (claims Kate has not been in touch with Harvey or is moving in with me for example).”
“If, as is my fear, we lose Kate then the narrative will change and people/media may remember all the good she did for causes in her early days and not be judged on her failures.”

“How many more people do we need to lose in this world from mental abuse? It was not long ago I kept reading #bekind that seems to be a distant memory or media just think they can push the boundaries without responsibility.”
“My daughter is mentally unwell, we have no idea what the future holds but what we do know is Kate’s children will read and see every single article written.”
“The abuse I am seeing on social media says so much for the society we live in – it has become a sad place.”
“Please allow us time, allow my daughter space not because she deserves this but because I am asking as a very sick and poorly mother who is scared she will lose her daughter.”
