Katie Price's new husband, Lee Andrews, is embroiled in a dramatic scandal as his ex-girlfriend, Alana Percival, has launched a scathing attack on social media, accusing him of 'love-bombing and faking his success.' The former glamour model, aged 47, tied the knot for the fourth time last month in an intimate ceremony in Dubai, marrying the 43-year-old businessman just days after their engagement.
Ex-Girlfriend's Explosive Allegations
Alana Percival has taken to Instagram Stories to share a video featuring a man struggling with an oversized handbag, accompanied by a caption that reads: 'Your ex with all his lies, love bombing, gaslighting + fake success, on his way to his new target.' In her posts, Alana claims to possess 'proof' that Lee is a 'lying swindler' and has urged Katie Price to 'run for the hills,' warning her of potential deception.
Doubts and Delayed Reunions
Friends close to Katie Price's family have revealed that the mother-of-five is 'beginning to be convinced' that Lee may not be the man she believed him to be, though she remains reluctant to admit it publicly. This uncertainty follows Lee's failure to fulfil his promise of flying to the UK last Thursday to reunite with his new bride. He later stated he would travel on Saturday, citing a delay to search for properties in the UAE for their potential new home.
Katie Price returned to England alone this week to be with her children, while Lee shared on Instagram that he planned to meet her in the UK, praising her as a 'good mother.' However, the situation has grown more complex with revelations about Lee's past relationships.
Identical Proposals and Financial Claims
Investigations have uncovered that Lee's proposal to Katie Price was identical to his proposal to Alana Percival just four months prior, both occurring at the same spot in the Burj Al Arab with similar floral arrangements. Additionally, Lee has faced accusations of using artificial intelligence to bolster his image, working as an escort, and having a colourful history with multiple women.
Despite portraying himself as a multimillionaire businessman with connections to figures like Elon Musk, Lee's facade appears to be crumbling. Another ex-partner, Crystal Janke, has come forward alleging that Lee deceived her into investing £123,000 in his company with promises of a £1 million return, only for her to suspect the funds were spent on lavish gifts for Alana.
Support Among Ex-Partners
Alana and Crystal have shown solidarity, with Crystal commenting on Alana's post: 'I'm sorry this happened to both of us, but we're going to get through it- and we'll come out on the other side stronger and empowered.' Alana responded, hinting at more revelations to come and emphasising the importance of women supporting women in such situations.
Alana detailed how Lee allegedly manipulated her, causing her to shrink herself and distance from friends who warned her about him. She expressed regret for not heeding earlier warnings and hopes Katie Price will listen to avoid a similar fate.
Lee Andrews' Response
In response to the allegations, Lee Andrews told the Daily Mail that he had a relationship with Alana, providing her with a 'lavish lifestyle' and investing in her real estate business, while dismissing her claims. Regarding Crystal Janke, he denied ever meeting her or receiving any money, though The Sun claims to have seen texts from Lee to Crystal discussing repayment.
Lee also addressed rumours about a heart condition, stating he has never used it to fake anything, and confirmed his marriage to Katie Price, expressing excitement about their future together despite the ongoing controversy.
As the story unfolds, it highlights concerns about love-bombing tactics and the authenticity of success in high-profile relationships, leaving fans and observers questioning the stability of Katie Price's latest marriage.
