Former glamour model and media personality Katie Price has shocked fans after reportedly naming the British TV star she claims raped her more than 20 years ago.
The revelation came during a live event, An Evening with Katie Price and Kerry Katona, held on Tuesday night, where Katie decided to disclose the identity of her alleged attacker — a secret she had kept for decades.
According to The Sun, the audience was left stunned when Katie made the unexpected announcement. However, her spokesperson has yet to release an official statement confirming or commenting on the claim.
Over the years, Katie has spoken publicly about her experiences with sexual violence but had refrained from identifying her alleged attacker. In 2023, she hinted that she was ready to reveal his name, with a source stating, “Katie thinks now is the time; she has nothing to lose. After the Me Too movement, she believes if others can come forward, so can she.”
Katie first discussed the trauma in a 2009 OK! magazine column, revealing she had been raped more than once when she was younger. “Rape is a subject very close to my heart. I was raped when I was younger, more than once,” she wrote, adding that she wanted to encourage women to speak out and seek support.
In 2022, during her candid documentary Trauma and Me, Katie also revealed she was raped again during a terrifying carjacking incident in South Africa in 2018.
Her courage in speaking out has sparked widespread conversation online, with many praising Katie Price for using her platform to highlight issues surrounding sexual violence and survivor support.
