Katie Price has sparked outrage once again — this time over her animals — after suggesting she may need to “re-evaluate” owning her staggering 17 pets while juggling life between the UK and Dubai with husband Lee Andrews.
The former glamour model, who married the Dubai-based businessman earlier this year, has been frequently travelling back and forth — and now admits her lifestyle may no longer be compatible with caring for such a large number of animals.
In a candid YouTube vlog, Katie openly questioned her situation, saying she needed to “sort out what I’m going to do with the animals because obviously Lee’s in Dubai and I’m going to keep going to Dubai and back.”
She went on to reflect on her famously “excessive” lifestyle, admitting: “I’ve got 12 animals in the house. I know I like things excessive like big cars, big boobs, big bum, lots of animals, horses, this, that. I think I need to re-evaluate my life a little bit and just have a little think about everything.”
The reality star then appeared to hint at reducing the number of pets she owns, adding: “Do I need so many animals? You know you gotta be there, all the time for them. Do I need… anyway everything I do is excessive, we all know that.”
Moments later, she realised the full scale of her situation, exclaiming: “I’ve got 17 animals, oh my God.”
But while Katie framed her comments as self-reflection, fans were quick to react — and many were far from sympathetic.
Viewers flooded her comments with concern and anger, with one writing: “Please help her animals.” Another accused her of being neglectful, saying: “You shouldn’t be allowed to have pets — you have a record of neglect and cruelty.”
Others were even harsher, branding her a “disgrace” and criticising her apparent lack of responsibility. One furious fan wrote: “The way you casually say you don’t need so many animals… you’re a disgrace who just thinks about yourself.”
Another added: “How can you even think of getting rid of your animals? That’s disgusting! They’re not disposable.”
The backlash comes against the backdrop of Katie’s troubled history with pets, which has seen multiple tragic incidents over the years.
In 2017, one of her horses was killed after escaping onto a busy road. Just months later, her dog Queenie died after being hit by a car near her home — an incident Katie previously blamed on a delivery driver leaving a gate open.
Further heartbreak followed in 2020 when another dog was killed in a road accident, and again in 2022 when yet another pet died under similar circumstances — prompting fierce criticism from animal rights group PETA in 2023.
A petition calling for Katie to be banned from owning animals has previously gained over 37,000 signatures, with campaigners accusing her of repeated negligence.
Now, with her life increasingly split between two countries, critics fear history could repeat itself — while Katie herself appears to be confronting a question many believe should have been asked long ago.
