Do you feel sorry for Kerry?
Posted by Jane Murphy
I know I may well be in the minority here, but I do feel sorry for Kerry Katona at the moment.
The poor woman's life seems to have spiralled out of control - and I'm not convinced she gets the love and support she needs from anyone, least of all her closest relatives.
I wasn't at all surprised to hear she'd broken up with husband Mark Croft. I was even less surprised to hear today's rumours that they've got back together. And the least surprising thing of all? An MTV film crew have been at Kerry's house to record every moment.
Indeed, I think the whole sorry saga can be summed up neatly in these few sentences from yesterday's News of the World: "Kerry has begged the MTV team not to leave her side - in case she weakens and takes Mark back.
"She wants the crew - said to loathe Croft for always putting her down - to film her every day for two months for a new show, Kerry Katona: The Divorce."
Message to MTV: nobody wants to watch that programme. Please don't make it - for all our sakes, but most of all for Kerry's...
So do you feel sorry for Kerry? Tell us here.

god no!!!! she's just a coke head who should have her children taken off her by social sevices! after all the publicity around her drug use and rehab, her children's welfare should be looked into. no wonder bryan is looking for custody! would you like your kids in the care of that??
Posted by: sarah | 23 March 2009 at 00:51

I do feel sorry for Kerry - she is a vulnerable damaged person, influenced by the lifestyles of those around her, it is blatantly clear that she just wants to be loved and keeps trying so hard to make herself more acceptable in the eyes of all these false illusions. I have so much more sympathy for her than Jade - at least she has had some dignity and you can see she is trying. Jade is just hyping for more money - kids need private time and space with their mum, not to be in the media spotlight.

nope no sympathy. She is a product of her own making. She is supposed to be grown up enough to have children but when is she going to put them first...all this messing about isnt doing them any favours and will probably make them messed up individuals. Would she sort herself out if the media wasnt constantly filming every action she does? i dont know, but she seriously needs to think long and hard about whats important and whats not and then once and for all DO something about it before she loses everything she supposidly holds dear. She has had so many changes and opportunities that many people would die for and she has squandered it all. Many blame him for bleeding her dry but who let him??? She needs to face up to the fact that SHE lat this happen and if she wants her life back for herself and her 4 kids then grow up and take charge!

Shes a grown women, who has made the choice to have chrildren - Lifes hard for everyone but i certinaly dont think shes the worse off person! I will sympathesis when she starts helping herself and her children

No, I don't feel sorry for her. She has had so much when so many have had so little. She must be particularly stupid to have messed everything up so spectacularly. Try life without a man for awhile - it's not absolutely necessary and she may learn something about herself. When she manages on her own very nicely - then maybe she can start dating again.

I feel sorry for Kerry but don't want to hear about it, a part of me wonders if she's just jealous of all the media attention that Jade Goody is currently getting....

kerry really needs to dump that scumbag mark once and for all,he is sucking the life out of her,and yes i sort of feel sorry for her,but mostly sorry for those gorgeous kids

Please NO MORE KERRY,CHERLY OR JORDAN. They are NOT NEWS and I'm fed up paying a fortune for mags wih the same stories over and over again. They all got themselves into these situations and made lots of money - give us some WORTHWHILE pleople to read about!

yes i do feel sorry for kerry she a lovely star with a few bad issues keep your chin up girl you dont need a man to go threw life
Posted by: lynn plymouth | 17 March 2009 at 21:19
No I don't - not one iota of sympathy. She has had many more chances than the average person. She is a victim of her own making.

I have thought in the past that Kerry has had a hard time, particularly with the papers but I have changed my mind now. She seems nothing more than an attention seeker.
I read yesterday, as most others did in the papers, that she has kicked him out as he has wasted all her money. So, why in the hell has there been pictures of her kissing him and saying he is back home but things are not right.
Quite frankly, I couldn't really give a toss what she does anymore, the stories with the papers yesterday was just a publicity stunt and in future if she has any marriage problems, she could do us all a favour and shut up. Looks like she has run out of money and what other way has she got to make money, it looks like the Iceland contract has dried up and there are no documentaries plastered all over MTV of the next plastic surgery treatment she has had. The next thing she will be plastered all over Closer/OK/Heat wailing about her marriage problems. Personally I feel sorry for the children as they will be seeing all the stupid little games the pair of them are playing. Time to grow up I think, and that goes for both of them, not just Kerry

What a load of rubbish, does anybody really care? Talentless, so called celeb doesn't have the brains to run her own affairs so hands responsiblity for her life to cab driving husband. She deserves all she gets until she takes responsibility for herself, boots out the old man and gets her life back on track. She's had enough money to set herself up for life and she's doesn't know where it's gone! How can you feel sorry for her? It's so stupid, you couldn't make it up!

Kerry is a very lovely person and she can bounce back with support and WITHOUT Mark who has been her down fall!!!
Posted by: SUNFLOWER | 16 March 2009 at 16:53
kerry must not take mark back. it is the biggest mistake she ever make if she did. mark bleed her dry and will continue to do so until god knows when he will stop,that is if he ever want to stop.
Posted by: chowtee low | 16 March 2009 at 16:44
what a fool she is, he only wants her for her money. Get Shut!!!!!
Posted by: Pat | 16 March 2009 at 16:31
I personally do feel sorry for Kerry. She has never had security in her life, ALL men she has been in relationship with have cheated on her! and her parents who should offer her the most security, let her down from a small age, Kerry is a lovely down to earth person who has made bad choices in her life, I feel we should get behind her and give her the support she so desperately seeks.
Posted by: Lynda | 16 March 2009 at 16:23
i used ta feel sorry for her but now think she is a publicity seeking wreck and should get her house in order and stop bleeting on about how unfortunate she is, she should be thankful she has her health and her children close unlike poor jade who is about to lose hers

I hope her children are not in her "care" right now. Although Britney had the support of her father, she managed to bounce back without dragging her children through it with her and I hope Kerry can do the same. They deserve more.
Posted by: Hayley | 16 March 2009 at 13:43
I did feel sorry for her until I heard she had taken that piece of s*** back!! What is wrong with her is she incapable of functioning on her own without him. She has already said he has bled her dry so why has she not taken the hint, or was it all for the publicity and the money - I wonder!!!
Posted by: julia Burch | 16 March 2009 at 13:36
I'm afraid I have little sympathy, especially as the one way Kerry could claw her way out of her financial difficulties would be to once again come up with a story that would warrant her further media coverage. We have had the drugs, booze, weight loss and now we are supposed to believe she has split then conveniently got back together with Mark, when all the while she is posting comments about it on facebook to gain maximum exposure and interest. Show a little more dignity for the sake of your little children! There are people with worse problems and this is NOT newsworthy.

Kerry is going to lose what little public support- and respect- she has if she doesn't get rid of the leech Mark Croft. She has proved that she is actually aware of what a creep he is yet has taken him back. Yes she has problems, yes its horrible when a marriage breaks up but for the sake of her own sanity, and to provide a good, calm, steady environment for her children, she has to grow up, buck up and sort her life out. WITHOUT her lousy husband.
It can be done.
I did it!

I do feel so sorry for Kerry, hope she bounces back. She is genuinely a lovely,down to earth,generous person but she has mixed herself with the wrong man and crowd. people are quick to put her down, but don't forget every single man she has been with (including Bryan Mcfadden) have cheated on her. Imagine going through that all the time....probably why she is like this. I sure hope she gets yourself right,and gets rid of Mark especially for her gorgeous children., Perhaps we should all support her like we did with Britney - same circumstances if you think about it.
