Katie Price slammed as she models £270 fox fur cardigan after fans slammed her for ‘animal cruelty’
KATIE Price models a £270 fox fur cardigan despite being slammed for supporting animal cruelty.
The reality star wrapped herself up in an ankle-length coat, complete with a furry hood, after she promised to never wear fur again.
In February 2021 she issued a grovelling apology, vowing to only wear faux fur after she learned about the horrors of the fur industry.
Her promise didn’t last long as a fur coat company posted a snap of her modelling their ‘exclusive’ fox fur and wool jacket last week.
The comments have been turned off on the post, presumably after upsetting animal lovers.
Last week Katie also posed for the brand’s Autumn 2023 collection, and took a video of her opening the “goodies”.
“Some goodies from Lanes, I can’t wait! Here’s a teaser, look at all this,” she squealed as she showed off a baby pink hat and fur scarf.
Katie’s daughter Princess has also been snapped on the company’s website.
The 15-year-old wasn’t seen in any fur, just a fedora like her mum.
Katie, who prides herself on being an ‘animal lover’ with her horses, cats, dogs, lizards and guinea pigs was slammed by fans after she wore fluffy sliders made from mink fur.
She had modelled in a pair of pink and black versions, adding that she was “obsessed” with them.
A disgruntled critic commented at the time: “I really enjoyed following you until I saw your stories today, promoting real fur. Absolutely appalled, I thought you were an animal lover.”
Another wrote: “STOP plugging real fur !!!.”
A third added: “It’s bl***y vile isn’t it!”
As a result Katie, 43, recorded a special YouTube video to respond to her critics.
She wrote alongside the video: “I want to say a massive apology to everyone. Over the years I have accumulated a number of fur clothing which now I DO NOT WEAR.
“I have done my research and I have seen the cruelty that goes into making these items. I have been so ignorant of the matter, but now I see that this is wrong.”
In the clip Katie announced she would be selling her real fur items and will only now wear synthetic fur.
She added: “I am an animal lover, and I did a post ages ago for this company which was fur and, yeah, rightly I got so much s**t for it.
“They made me realise I am actually an animal lover and why do I need to wear real fur when there’s really good fake furs out there?”
