Glamour model, Katie Price aka Jordan, has branded Heat magazine “cruel” and “ignorant” for mocking her disabled son Harvey.
The publication has been criticised for including a sticker of the five-year-old with the text “Harvey wants to eat me!” in its latest issue. Harvey suffers from a disorder which affects his eyesight and causes him to gain weight.
“I want to know exactly what they meant by this,” Price explained in an interview with the Daily Star, for which she received no payment.
“How did they sit in their editorial meeting and justify making fun of a five-year-old child who can’t even talk? People can take the mickey out of me and Pete – we’re grown-ups and can answer back. But we are talking about a little boy who’s disabled.
“I get the mickey taken, but if you involve my kids, I’ll protect them. This is cruel and shows they’re totally ignorant about Harvey’s condition. They are making out he’s fat because he is greedy and eats all the time, but his size is due to his thyroid not working properly.
“So they are attacking him because he’s disabled. What are they going to mock him for next – skin colour? They’re saying it’s fine to take the p*** out of a disabled child. Well, I’m saying it’s not.”
Katie is planning to complain to the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) about the issue. Heat’s editor Mark Frith has apologised for any offence caused by the sticker.
The sticker is offensive at the very least in every way. We hope the editor in cheif suffers repurcussions for their poor lack of judgement.
