Katie Price's former husband Alex Reid has claimed he suffered 'years of abuse'.
It comes after Katie's mucky mansion was visited by High Court Enforcement Officers on Monday afternoon following her court ordeal with her ex-husband.
Alex, 48, was married to Katie between 2010 and 2012 and eventually won a legal case against her. The former television star allegedly shared explicit photographs of him as well as an alleged sex tape. She was ordered to pay £250,000 four years ago – with Alex claiming that he is still waiting. He sued Katie for "distributing private information – some of it of a sexual nature", which "violated his right to privacy". Katie allegedly shared an explicit video clip of Alex to an audience on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side in 2018. It's claimed Katie has only paid Alex £1,000 out of the large sum. He's now broken his silence, opening up to the Mirror.

This is backed by years of direct threats from her mouth."
Alex continued: "If it wasn't me, then it would be somebody else. It's admirable how she sticks up for Harvey like any parent would, as I would with any of my children, but to then go and attack people doing exactly what people have done to you and your own son is not just hypocritical and contradictory, is disgraceful and undermines any good you have done.

"Someone against trolling shouldn’t be trolling! Thank goodness I have the inner strength and support around me to get through this, as I know first-hand how others haven’t. In her continued disregard and process of the law, and also disregard for absolutely anyone other than herself, she was found guilty. Which was the right thing as unless it benefits her, she’s not interested."
The former cage fighter went on to say that Katie's "addiction to the press and media" is "so bad she will put anything out as long as her name is in the news", adding: "At the total disregard of the consequences for anybody else." He continued: "I'm down as the shortest marriage to Katie, which is really positive as I managed to get out and escape.
"Unfortunately I didn't escape the years of abuse from my bitter ex. I walked away for years, but the continued abuse has been so much, I made a stand, for not only me but my family and friends." The Celebrity Big Brother star concluded: "The judge made a decision and she has to face her responsibility. As every action has consequences."
In response to the claims, a representative of Katie's said: "Let him get on with it... Kate won't be responding to any stories put forward by Alex or his team. It's old news and it's boring now."
