Katie Price ‘doesn’t care’ about skipping court over F-word rant and tells friends ‘they can’t jail me for swearing’
The 40-year-old was slammed by the judge for having 'a lack of respect' after she missed her court hearing to be in Thailand with Kris Boyson
KATIE Price has claimed ";she had no idea" that she was due in court for screaming at ex husband Kieran Hayler’s new girlfriend in the school playground, claim friends.
Insiders say that Katie – who is currently on holiday in Thailand – "doesn’t care" and "isn't bothered" that the judge slammed her as having "a lack of respect" and has told mates: "They can’t jail me for swearing."
Katie was due to appear at Crawley Magistrates Court to face accusations she’d screamed "are you enjoying f***ing my husband?” at Kieran’s new girlfriend Michelle Pentecost when they met at their children’s school last September.
But after she failed to show, District Judge Amanda Kelly blasted: “I believe she hasn’t turned up today. She has something better to do."
"This demonstrates a lack of respect for the court process.";
But friends say that Katie’s not worried.
“Katie is very relaxed about the whole thing. She’s told friends that ‘they can’t put me away for swearing’ and says she’ll sort it out when she’s back from Thailand,” says an insider.
“She’s dodged jail twice this year – she thinks she can do the hat-trick and go unpunished again. She doesn’t want anything to ruin her holiday so she’s not going to worry about it until she’s back."
Another source close to the star added: “She had no idea she was supposed to be in court that day and her lawyers had actually asked for it to be rescheduled to next week and thought it had been.”
Katie’s spokesperson has been contacted for comment.
The case was adjourned until next Wednesday – when Katie is expected to be back from her exotic Thailand trip with boyfriend Kris Boyson.
A charge sheet accused her of using “threatening or abusive words or behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress”.
It allegedly happened after Katie came face to face with Michelle on the first day of school last year when both parents were picking their kids up.
Police were called after horrified parents went to the school head to demand a ban on Katie collecting Bunny and Jett.
