Peter Andre took to Instagram on Thursday night with a forceful message addressing what he called persistent falsehoods from ex wife Katie Price and her relatives.
After maintaining his silence for sixteen years, the 52-year-old declared that period was now over.
His statement emerged mere hours after the former glamour model discussed their ongoing dispute on her podcast.
The 47-year-old had proposed that both parties meet to resolve their differences, particularly regarding their teenage daughter’s recent television project.
The Mysterious Girl performer expressed deep frustration at having remained quiet whilst facing what he described as continuous untruths.
He emphasised that his decision to speak out was prompted by recent remarks concerning their children’s wellbeing and living situations.
The reality television personality had suggested during her podcast programme that the former couple should meet to discuss their disagreements.
She expressed particular distress about being excluded from her 18-year-old daughter’s new ITV2 programme, The Princess Diaries.
Despite claiming she had requested involvement in the television series, her appeals were rejected.
The mother-of-five also revealed she was not invited to Princess’s eighteenth birthday celebration in June, reportedly due to filming commitments for the programme.
On The Katie Price Show, she maintained that both parents should be able to support their daughter at public events, even if she cannot appear on camera.
She insisted there was “no reason” why she couldn’t attend such occasions and called the situation unfair to Princess.
The television personality provided specific details about the custody situation, stating that their two children, Junior and Princess, came to live with him in 2018 for documented safety reasons. They remained in his care until reaching adulthood.
He referenced legal proceedings from 2011 and 2015 where courts determined his former partner had made unfounded allegations.
According to his statement, she was required to pay significant financial compensation and legal fees, as well as issue apologies to both him and his management team.
The singer asserted that identical false claims were being circulated again presently.
He indicated that numerous additional untruths and groundless allegations remained unaddressed, promising these would be confronted in the months ahead.
The former couple’s third husband, Kieran Hayler, has expressed remorse about the effect his actions had on Princess during her childhood.
The 37-year-old acknowledged to media outlets that his extramarital relationships with the model’s close friend and their children’s nanny caused significant harm.

Hayler, who was married to the television personality from 2013 to 2021, described the separation’s impact on Princess as “devastating”. He admitted feeling ongoing sadness about the disruption to her formative years.
During her appearance on The Princess Diaries, the teenager reflected on wanting a more content childhood.
She recalled her mother experiencing a particularly difficult period following the marital breakdown, which involved substance abuse issues, post-traumatic stress disorder and a suicide attempt.
The model maintains regular contact with Princess through daily conversations, though she feels she has been absent from significant moments.
