Alex Reid Claims He 'Didn't Escape' Years Of Abuse From Bitter Ex-Wife Katie Price
Alex Reid has criticized his ex-wife, Katie Price, for allegedly being "hypocritical" in her campaign to end online hate.
Price previously fired back at those who targeted her disabled son Harvey. However, Reid called her a hypocrite because he allegedly received several death threats from her.
"'It's admirable how she sticks up for Harvey, like any parent would, as I would with any of my children, but to then go and attack people doing exactly what people have done to you and your own son is not just hypocritical and contradictory, it is disgraceful and undermines any good you have done," Reid said in a statement to Daily Mail. "Someone against trolling shouldn't be trolling."
The former cage fighter also claimed that Price demonstrated "continued disregard for the law" since she still hasn't paid him the $317,000 compensation and legal costs he was promised in 2019 after he successfully sued her. He reflected on their marriage and considered himself lucky to get out of their union amid the alleged years of abuse.
"I'm down as the shortest marriage to Katie, which is really positive as I managed [to] get out and escape," he continued. "Unfortunately, I didn't escape the years of abuse from my bitter ex. I walked away for years, but the continued abuse has been so much, I made a stand, for not only myself but my family and friends."
Reid released the statement after bailiffs visited Price's mansion Monday to repossess items belonging to the celebrity. An unnamed insider told the outlet that Reid only received $1,269 from what the court had ordered Price to pay him.
The "Katie Price: My Crazy Life" star seemingly reacted to the visit to her home, nicknamed Mucky Mansion, by sharing videos of her glamming up to promote her OnlyFans content on her Instagram Story. In the clip, a makeup artist was seen applying her makeup. She also showed off her newly puffed-up lips, which she had injected last week to achieve the "butterfly lip" effect, a procedure that cost nearly $2,000, Mirror reported.
The outlet believed she wasn't home when the officers visited her mansion because Price was due to be in Dublin Monday evening. In a separate post on her Instagram Stories Sunday night, she wrote, "Tomorrow I'll be in Dublin, Ireland, at the Harvey Nichols Dundrum store doing a makeup masterclass at 6pm."
Price was married to Reid from 2010 to 2012. She was also previously married to Peter Andre (between 2005 and 2009) and Kieran Hayler (between 2013 and 2021).
She shares Junior, 18, and Pete, 16, with Andre; and Jett, 10, and Bunny, 9, with Hayler. Price shares Harvey, 21, who is blind and autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia and a learning disability with ex Dwight Yorke.
