Katie Price is facing a fresh wave of criticism online after revealing her plans to reduce the number of pets she owns, which currently stands at 12. The former glamour model discussed the decision candidly in a recent YouTube vlog, where she reflected on her life as she splits time between the UK and Dubai following her marriage to self-described “businessman” Lee Andrews.
Katie’s Candid Reflection
In the vlog, Katie acknowledged that her lifestyle requires constant re-evaluation due to changing circumstances.
“I’ve got to sort out what I’m going to do with the animals,” she said. “Lee’s in Dubai and I’m going to keep going back and forth.”
She further explained her reasoning, noting, “I’ve got 12 animals in the house. I know I like things excessive… big cars, big boobs, big bum, lots of animals. I think I need to re-evaluate my life a little bit… do I need so many animals?”
Katie also highlighted the level of attention and care that comes with her current pet count: “You’ve got to be there all the time for them… everything I do is excessive, we all know that.”
Social Media Backlash
Despite her honest explanation, many viewers were critical of the decision. Comments on the vlog ranged from questioning her commitment to animal welfare to outright condemnation.
One viewer wrote, “Poor animals,” while another insisted, “You shouldn’t be allowed to have pets.” Others urged her to prioritize the “animals’ welfare,” some recalling past controversies involving her pets.
Past Controversies Resurface
For context, Katie Price has faced scrutiny from animal welfare organizations over the years. Several of her pets, including dogs and a horse, have tragically died in incidents near her former Sussex residence.
The TV star has consistently defended herself, stating that these events were due to circumstances outside her control. “I love animals, I love nurturing,” Katie told followers previously, stressing her commitment to caring for her pets.
A Personal Decision
While the backlash highlights public concern for animal welfare, Katie’s vlog makes it clear that this is a personal decision, driven by lifestyle changes and logistical challenges. As she continues to divide her time between the UK and Dubai, fans will be watching to see how she manages her household and the well-being of her beloved pets.
