Katherine Ryan

[Shugsyshalone]

I used to like Katherine but it seems like all her recent podcast episodes are in some way or another about how how much money she has, or how much money she can afford to spend on things. Calling a private midwife service ‘affordable’ for example. Maybe it is just the tone in which she talks but it comes across very arrogant. I am not usually one to be sensitive about the topic of money but it just seems to be leaving a bad taste for me.

Having two young babies and a teen is very hard no matter the material wealth.
BK needs to pull his fucking weight. All hands on deck for a very very long time.
no hobbies.

Agh now come on, you can still have your hobbies. Parenting doesn't have to be like a 5 year stretch in prison. But BK needs to golf a hell of a lot less and KR needs a hobby that doesn't involve kiddies. Then there is balance, right now there is zero.

In saying all this, if you give someone like BK an inch they take a mile!!

Not to mention when she says "O I wouldn't have noticed 3k missing from my account" When they got scammed (yet again) recently! Then backpedals when she realised how badly that would be perceived. She just proves she is just tacky new money.

I’d be a bit concerned about him burning through her money too. While she’s quite well off, she’s in a precarious business and one where you can’t guarantee your income will remain at the same level over time. There will probably be quite a high level of debt too (mortgage etc). The lifestyle/outgoings look pretty extravagant, and likely to remain so with three kids if she wants private school etc. And it doesn’t seem like he’s contributing much (financially or otherwise TBH).

I think the way things are going, she might slip up and say something cancellable which would put a stop to her regular paycheck.

 

[weeweegie]

As I said, not my circus not my monkeys. I am passed the point of caring what people are by birth right or want to be seen as being as it doesn't effect me in the slightest. But she will lose that demographic becoming a terf Or maybe gain a whole new demographic being one lol

I’d personally love her to be an open terf but that’s because I don’t see the word terf as a bad thing. Others may disagree. I don’t care if they do. But yes, in the current climate it would be career suicide if she did

It's definitely 100% Russell Brand. That cunt has it coming to him, I know of three journalists who have been trying to get pieces published and they never get past the lawyers. Everybody in the industry knows, as KR alluded. They can't say anything publicly because he is a litigious cunt and also has a lot of people in high places he could take down with him. I only hope one day one of his victims decides to fuck the NDA into the sun and crowdfunds if he sues her.

 

[emeraldopal]

Can you elaborate on her lying about him burning the bed? Wasn’t there video evidence of it?? I just can’t fathom why she would lie about such a thing and make her husband look so abusive if he isn’t.

Then again, I can’t fathom why she would tell the world about it if it is true. Does she think it’s a cute and whacky anecdote?? Bizarre.

Their whole relationship is bad vibes

In the latest episode of her podcast she spends ages explaining that she actually knew all along that Bobby had burned the cat bed and that the whole thing was a 'bit'/scene/sketch. I just don't buy that, for the reasons you mention - a) its not actually at all funny, and b) unless she's Oscar-level at acting, her shock and distress when the footage was playing was real.
She's got lots of form for trying to explain away BK's bullshit. Two examples that spring to mind are when he said on the podcast that if a woman their age has never been in a long term relationship there must be something wrong with her- she said it was her fault for 'editing him badly' and when there was a fire on their balcony caused by a cigarette - she said the fireman told her a bird had dropped a lit fag end while flying overhead, and it definitely wasn't confirmed smoker BK, definitely not That one was so ridiculous it does read like a joke, but there was no hint of that in her delivery of the story...
Every time he does something awful, she bends over backwards to justify it and try to cast him in a better light and assure us it's not what think/how it looks. Bad bad vibes indeed

 

[maryfleabag]

Good or bad? I love her too 🫣

She addresses things written about her. So many instagrammers I would love to do this.

I think KR deserves a rave about thread.

 

[Whatevesmate]

On her podcast this week, KR says that she received a lot of complaints about Bobby's comments. Interestingly though, when he comes into the room it seemed like she toned it down to placate him. I don't think that she has just used him as a sperm doner. I think that she has strong feelings about him going back to when he dumped her when they were teenagers. I also think that she is way more insecure in her romantic relationships than she's aware of. Her brashness is an act. It's her comedy persona. I think she's more sensitive IRL.

 

[hmmm_no]

Im so sorry for your loss when you were 20. I can’t even comprehend the pain you’ve been through. I hope life has been kinder to you since x

Thank you so much. It has, I have lots of godbabies and nephews to love!

 

[rosieflowers]

Funny that she says she had a teeny top up of filler, 0.5ml, when she seems to have about 10ml of old filler migrating up towards her nose. Her top lip is so rigid.

I hate filler. It always migrates and ends up looking horrible. We need to teach our daughters to stay away from that shit.

Totally agree. Katherine does look quite botched sadly. I think she's going for the camp queen/ Joan rivers thing now isn't she whether that's what she started out going for or not.

I do get the temptation to conform and meet society's expectations of what a woman should look like. But now I'm the mum of a daughter I have to do what's right not what I want to do/ to cave to the pressure. It does make me feel sad to see a mum of a daughter who's so obsessed with appearance, I think it's so (usually unintentionally) toxic

In my opinion most of the pressure for this crap comes from other women so as the mother of a daughter you have to show them that botox and fillers and appearance is not what makes a woman/ what you 'have to do' to be acceptable in society

I'm hoping in 20 years society will have swung back from this side of the pendulum back towards something more natural/ just being acceptable the way you are

 

[ForeverMakingJibesWicked]

An appeal: please can we stay civil? We don’t want to turn into Mumsnet, please guys x

 

[Tiger tat]

The fashion now seems to be talking about your 'disorders' .... Autism, ADD, ADHD ... no doubt she has one of these and will take great delight in informing-us.

?????

Your comment has literally nothing to do with KR and everything to do with your own attitude.

Yes, it's my opinion or 'attitude'. My opinion is that it wouldn't surprise me, given that other minor celebrities have done it, that in order to raise her profile she might start talking about a disorder she may or may not have. I may be out of order, but having an opinion you disagree with isn't breaking any rules and I won't be bullied.

You won’t be bullied I literally just made a statement about your ridiculous non sequitur. Don’t injure yourself with all that reaching.

 

[xxheidiandparisxx]

She looks utterly absurd. I don't find the breast-feeding objectional personally, she's clearly an attention-seeker so if she wasn't doing that she'd be getting her breasts out for another reason. At the end of the day, people don't have to look at it. I'm just sick of over-sharing in general though ... it's hard to escape from.

A question for any mothers reading though ... would the breast-feeding thing upset those who cannot for whatever reason breast-feed?

If we went down the rabbit hole of not posting something because it might upset someone then no one would ever post anything. Should I not post my new house because someone else is stuck renting? Me on a run because someone has a disability that means they can’t? Me with my wife because someone else is single? Maybe don’t post your kids/pregnancy/feeding experiences at all out of respect for those who can’t have kids? Where would it end?!

 

[Craftyh]

Did I fall onto mumsnet by accident? I can assure you all no one gives a flying f how you feed your kids, what reasons it’s for or your opinions on it. Build a bridge and get over it

 

[Iamonlyhereforthetea]

Aw she has had a little girl. Not sure on name though especially when they have Fred already. Fenna and Fred - sounds like the European version of Tesco clothing

 

[MavisWilton]

I agree that the podcast is becoming dull, and what’s worse is I think she knows it. She spins out fairly dull anecdotes about some monotonous aspect of the practical boring stuff regarding daily life, and makes it about five times longer than it needs to be.

I’m genuinely delighted for her with the babies and her happy domestic life, but sometimes it feels like she’s used up all of her funny stories and is struggling for content. I still really enjoy episodes where she’s laying into the likes of Tristan Thompson and Leonardo DiCaprio, that’s where her feistiness and biting humour comes through. I think maybe taking a 6 month break from the podcast would revitalise it a bit, and trimming it to 45 minutes max. I think that’s how it was when it started. But I feel that way about a lot of podcasters- like they’re all terrified to take an extended break in case they lose their audience, and that’s understandable too I guess.

Bobby K still gives me the ick. Small town, aimless boy who struck gold with her feels correct.

 

[Libertine1975]

Really didn’t like the vibe of todays podcast. She overexplained the whole cat thing (you could sense the panic in her) and I felt she was being overly mean making fun of that woman’s business with the date ideas.

I don't listen to the Podcast what was she saying?

I've really gone off her since she got with Bobby K, she seems to have changed so much since being with him.

 

[Love_hate_small_town]

The offical guidelines, at least where I live, say that no amount of alcohol is safe (which doesn’t mean it’s actively harmful to have a small amount). In The past it was always considered fine to have a glass of wine. It looks full and she probably just wanted a few sips with her dinner. It could also be a spritzer or alcohol free. Either way she seems like a great mother who tries to always do the right thing by herself and her kids. Get off her back babes.

 

[instashun]

Totally agree with the patting herself on back and no offense crap! I really think she needs to take a much needed break from social media, podcasting etc as she is making a holy show of herself as we say here in Ireland.

I also got irked when Violet asked for baby not to be born in her bed and she went ahead and did it anyway. And so blazé about how she must be traumatised over it. No shit!!

Why would you give birth on your daughters bed anyway when you have a mansion full of rooms to choose from?
