Few thoughts. I think, as a few have said, this will be the tip of the iceberg and there are more stories to come. They were holding back before because of her threatening to harm herself at bad press; I think they are now "publishing and be damned". They know her capacity for lying and manipulating to get her way and are done with pandering to her.
With regards to her family (SP &AFP) issuing a statement excusing/supporting her, I actually don't think this will happen this time. I am prepared to hold my hands up if I'm wrong of course, but they are definitely standing up to her I believe. KP tried desperately to have SB at the wedding and SFP stood firm. Hence Katie with a face like a slapped arse at the wedding, for ONCE she didn't get her way. I hope I'm right.
I would speculate that Peter & Emily would have been made aware that this story was coming out due to them being P&J's parents. Which also indicates, to me, that they are all in agreement.
However, everyone saying "this must be the end for her now".... I doubt it unfortunately; but I do think it's the beginning of the end. She was still appearing on Lorraine and having shows comissioned AFTER Crashgate don't forget, we were convinced THAT was the end too.
Last thought. She's clearly come off SM as she knew this story was breaking. That confuses me. She normally revels in any sort of publicity, couldnt give two hoots... why is it this incident thats scared her? In her head she will have, and has, justified everything she says and does, she won't think she's done wrong, so i don't understand this almost "shamed" coming off social media. I think it's to PRETEND she cares. Also, to stop herself getting in more tit with her posts. Maybe SB has control of her phone/SM.
Over and out.
