Nobody here has said she deserved it.
She sold her story to the sun within a few hours, saying she had a split eye, possible fractured jaw. The pics taken show a big bruise on her cheek, nothing wrong with her eye or jaw. Nothing, not even this, is ever straightforward with Katie. She posted a pic of the kids at the house that night, now were they there, did she drive drunk with them to her manager, or were the pics a lie, and they weren't there.
Katie brings all the shit on herself by her shady behaviour, and might even let Carl off this, whatever this is, to protect her life of lies. Her kids who will have a lifetime of issues from their chaotic upbringing are the innocent victims here. I hope the truth comes out, but I doubt it. I'm not going to be a hypocrite, I don't like her, I hope she gets help and takes good advice.
