Katie Price has avoided jail again today and her ex-husband Kieran Hayler has now broken his silence.
Katie was previously warned she could go to jail after being accused of breaching a restraining order. In May, she pleaded guilty to the alleged offence.
TV star Katie was accused of sending a derogatory message to Kieran about his partner, Michelle Penticost.
In it, she reportedly described his fiancée Ms Penticost as a “gutter [bleep]”.
Under the terms of a restraining order issued to Katie in 2019, she couldn’t contact Ms Penticost directly or indirectly.
However, Katie has managed to avoid jail following a ruling on Friday. Instead, she has been given an 18-month community order, 170 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £1,500 in court costs.

“We feel a custodial sentence would have sent the right message to the public given the seriousness of Miss Price’s offending.”
In a victim statement read to the court, Michelle confessed that she thought a restraining order would make her “feel safe”.
The statement read: “The language used has made me scared. I thought that having a restraining order would make me feel safe.
“The impact of what Miss Price has done has had a detrimental effect on my mental wellbeing.”
However, it’s not the first time Katie has had a brush with the law.
She previously avoided jail time following her drink-drive crash in September 2021.

After the collision, Katie entered the rehab facility The Priory to get treatment.
However, in December, she received a 16-week suspended sentence.
It’s been a rough few weeks for Katie.
A petition to ban her from owning pets has recently reached more than 20,000 signatures.
