Katie Price Faces Backlash for Last-Minute Cancellation at Pride Event
Katie Price has responded to criticism following her sudden cancellation at a fundraising afterparty for Milton Keynes Pride Festival. The 47-year-old former glamour model faced backlash over what was described as a lack of accountability and professionalism in a scathing social media statement by MK Pride.
MK Pride, a not-for-profit organization, expressed disappointment as they confirmed that Katie Price, who was contracted as the headline performer for the event, will not be making an appearance. Despite efforts to communicate with her management, it was revealed that she would not be honoring her booking due to unforeseen filming commitments.
The organization emphasized transparency and highlighted previous reports concerning Katie Price’s handling of professional commitments. The community’s support for her was acknowledged, but the decision to not fulfill obligations to a charitable Pride event was deemed a display of unprofessionalism.
In response to the social media post by MK Pride, Katie’s representative conveyed her regret at not being able to attend the Milton Keynes Pride afterparty due to unexpected filming obligations. Despite the setback, Katie expressed her respect for Pride events and the LGBTQ+ community, wishing Milton Keynes Pride success with their celebrations.
MK Pride assured attendees that the afterparty would proceed as planned at Pink Punters, and efforts were underway to secure a replacement for Katie. While the Pride event is free to attend, ticket refunds are available for those who choose to do so.
Despite the unforeseen circumstances, MK Pride reaffirmed their commitment to delivering an inclusive and memorable celebration for the community. This incident follows Katie Price’s recent withdrawal from another event, emphasizing the challenges faced in event planning and celebrity appearances.
