K-fed was no saint either. It may be a question of lesser evil. I don’t actually know much about Kerry Katona except the reports and comments here on CBB. Stepping out of the spotlight for a moment, if Kerry Katona’s behavior were that of a non-famous parent the children would have been yanked by social services (at least here in the states). Just as with Britney Spears, authorities appear to be ignoring the dangerous behavior of an obviously unstable parent.

Carrie, the real world is different from how you think it is. Unless your doctor is a rare gem, you WILL have to wait for a US, belive me I know.

“Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie, and Gwen Stefani did not smoke like chimneys and consume alcohol regularly while pregnant with multiple children, become cocaine addicts after getting divorced, admit to having a cocaine relapse while pregnant with their third child in addition to smoking (same child was born over a month prematurely), and insist on getting a tattoo against widespread recommendations not to during an already extremely high risk pregnancy in which the baby almost died early on.”

Again, you are allowing your personal opinion of Kerry to shadow the truth of this incident. Her MIL had NO RIGHT at all to touch her. I don’t care if Kerry is the devil incarnate, no one has the “right” to be physically abused by ANYONE.

As for the Brian fans. He is no saint himself, which is why he doesn’t have custody.

Tiff – I think she’s already happened. Only difference is no-one’s made a serious challenge for custody of the kids yet. Brian doesn’t even seem to stay in one place for long enough to form a stable home to raise kids in. I can’t help but think that if I were Brian, I’d be back in England quick smart and be prepared to stay for as long as it takes to get them back.

Hi! OK, the reason I expect Kerry has gone to the media about this “attack” is because a rather long article was published on Sunday (6th) in The News Of The World telling Mark’s mum’s side of things – i.e. that Kerry attacked her! So I guess Kerry is either trying to put right a wrong (if her version is right) – or makes excuses for her behaviour AGAIN (if the mother-in-law’s story is right). Her mother-in-law also said that Kerry was drunk on vodka on New Year’s Eve and smoking all through the night. Her version is that the fight broke out when she tried to take baby Heidi into a different room, because she thought the party was too smoky for her and Kerry didn’t want her to interfere. To put it politely

Whatever the truth (and I guess we’ll never know) – Kerry certainly has her demons and I just hope that Social Services are keeping an eye on her just like they would on any other young mum who does the things Kerry does.

First and foremost I don’t condone violence of any sort against women, especially against a pregnant woman but waiting that long to have an ultrasound? It seems fishy to me seeing as how this pregnancy has already been in danger. Most doctors would have done some testing right then and there. This is the same woman who was getting tattooed which to me was also unbelievable.

Ahh the world of double standards! a picture of anglina giving chip to Shiloh but yet not one peep…. yet if one taboild says britney is on drugs…. its proven true… she was in the hospital and tested CLEAN… and no one is talking about it…

this woman yes granted she was attacked… but the ER is open 24/7…. isnt she an entertainer … she couldnt act like she was in pain

Can I just add that I am fast approaching the conclusion that something very serious is going to happen to one of her children, living or unborn, before this woman changes her ways and realises what she has done to them.

I believe that is what it is going to take to stop this neglect, because lets face it, that is what it is at the end of the day.

“I must ask, if it were Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani, etc. that was pregnant and had been physically attacked, would you be criticizing them? Or would you be offering them your sympathy? Personally, I think there’s a double-standard when it comes to Kerry.”

Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie, and Gwen Stefani did not smoke like chimneys and consume alcohol regularly while pregnant with multiple children, become cocaine addicts after getting divorced, admit to having a cocaine relapse while pregnant with their third child in addition to smoking (same child was born over a month prematurely), and insist on getting a tattoo against widespread recommendations not to during an already extremely high risk pregnancy in which the baby almost died early on.

I had to reply to the last post from “annoynomous” (their spelling, not mine!).

Kerry has freely admitted to smoking and drinking while pregnant with her 4th baby, and recently had a tattoo while pregnant as well.

If you think this is acceptable behaviour during pregnancy, I hope you change the way you think before you have children of your own..

I’m assuming you dont already have kids as no decent mother would ever state that drinking or smoking while pregnant isnt “putting her kids in danger”. As if.

In the article Kerry admits to still smoking 5 cigarettes a day, as well as drinking alcohol. She claimed she had only had two glasses of champagne when the incident happened, however many of the guests says she drank several vodkas and was very drunk. She even says smoking and drinking while pregnant isn’t dangerous! A very bad role model.
