Katie Price has been excused from court recently due to personal issues following her second bankruptcy. She was not present in court when she was found guilty of driving offences and declared bankrupt for the second time. Price claimed that she had been signed off from court appearances because she was dealing with serious personal matters. She also defended herself against media scrutiny and stated that she does not get away with not paying her debts. Price faces the potential loss of her £2 million Sussex property and the risk of bailiffs taking assets to repay her debts.
During her recent bankruptcy hearing, it was revealed that Katie Price had debts of £3.2 million. Her £750,000 unpaid tax bill was addressed in court, and her £2 million homes are now at stake. Court Judge Sebastian Prentis declared her bankrupt after she failed to respond to HMRC regarding her debt. Price, who has a history of driving offences dating back to 2003, was recently found guilty of driving without insurance or a valid driver’s licence. She previously stated that she would rather go to prison than face endless court dates, but she now believes that it wouldn’t be fair for UK taxpayers to lock her up.
In response to comments from Tory MP James Wild suggesting she should be jailed for repeat driving offences, Katie Price expressed frustration at the discrimination around her case. Price argued that she is paying off her debts and does not believe imprisonment would benefit the taxpayers. She emphasized that she is dealing with her financial issues and does not need an MP trying to put her in prison. Price also mentioned that she has requested to go to prison in the past but authorities have not agreed. She spoke out against the discrimination she faces in comparison to other individuals going through bankruptcies.
Katie Price continues to defend herself against media scrutiny and public opinion, stating that her personal battles are not always visible to the public. She emphasized that if she does not work, her debts cannot be paid off. Price highlighted the mental toll that dealing with her financial issues takes on her, as she is the sole income earner in her family. Despite facing challenges, Price remains determined to work and pay off her debts. The reality TV star acknowledges that there are different forms of bankruptcy, and she is committed to resolving her financial issues.
