Katie Price's fans have cautioned her that she is 'playing with fire' by continuing to promote CBD oil while in Dubai, where the substance is illegal to possess, sell, or promote.
Fans Sound Alarm Over Dubai CBD Promotion
The 47-year-old mother of five, who serves as a paid brand ambassador for Supreme CBD oil, arrived in Dubai earlier this week to reunite with her husband, Lee Andrews. Shortly after landing, she began promoting the product on social media, sparking concern among her followers.
In an Instagram post, Price wrote: 'Guess who’s back in Dubai!! I do love being here but there’s one thing I will always miss and that’s my @supremecbd oil! I know my sleep is never going to be as good when I can’t have my oil, lots of people think it’s drugs but it really isn’t. You can use my code Katie40 for 40% off SupremeCBD.uk (link in bio) #supremecbd.'
She further elaborated in a video: 'Yes I'm back in Dubai, the only problem is you can't bring CBD here in Dubai so that means my sleep - I'm not going to sleep properly. Anyone who knows me knows the only way I can sleep is with my CBD supreme. I absolutely rely on it for my sleep.'
Reddit Users Question Her Actions
A fan shared the video on Reddit, warning: 'Katie still playing with Fire.' They added: 'Katie landed in Dubai and it wasn't long till she posted yet another video of her promoting CBD, she even mentioned she was in Dubai.'
Other users questioned how she was 'getting away with it,' with one asking: 'Is she even allowed to be posting clips advertising CBD from Dubai?'
Previous Controversy Over Medical Claims
This is not the first time Price has faced scrutiny over her CBD endorsements. Last year, she sparked outrage by supporting Supreme CBD founder Anthony Fowler's claim that the oil had 'healed' his two-year-old daughter's tumour, after he refused chemotherapy. Price commented: 'Very serious chat with Serena Stregapede and Anthony Fowler about their two-year-old daughter who had a tumour in her leg, they refused hospital treatment and healed her themselves which is amazing.'
Fans labelled the claims 'dangerous,' with one stating: 'Katie, you have zero medical or scientific qualifications, so how about you don't use your platform to push health 'advice'. Health is too important to mess with, and vulnerable people can often look for the 'easy solution' when there isn't one. Don't endanger lives.'
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) confirmed to The Mirror that the post had been referred to Liverpool Trading Standards. An ASA spokesperson said: 'We’ve received a small number of complaints about Supreme CBD and Katie Price‘s ads. I’ve spoken to our compliance team, and they’ve confirmed that Supreme CBD has now been referred to Trading Standards.'
The Mirror has reached out to Katie Price for comment.
