Katie Price, 43, is on the mend and wants a fresh start after an alleged attack left her “dazed” and “devastated.”
The mother-of-five was allegedly attacked at a house in Essex on August 23 and reportedly had to run to her son Harvey’s home barefoot.
A source told new: “It’s been a tough week and Katie’s feeling emotionally vulnerable, very fragile and exhausted. But she’s also now more focused and just wants to get on with her life and put herself and her children first.”
They added: “She’s resolute and determined not to let people down. She’s a victim but she’s quite resilient. She’s not sitting and licking her wounds. It’s been hard but she’s digging deep.
“Despite what she’s been through, she knows she can’t fall apart.”
In a statement, Essex Police said: “We were called by colleagues in the ambulance service to reports of an assault shortly after 1.30am.
“We arrived and found a woman had sustained a facial injury which required hospital treatment.”
A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault, theft and coercive and controlling behaviour and has been released on bail until September 20.
After being discharged from hospital Katie said: “I’ve got a big bruise, my face is all puffy and I went to hospital.
“I’m still all dazed. I’m devastated. I’ve told police that I was assaulted and I am in shock that this happened.”
Essex Police are continuing the investigation. In a statement they said: “We have a duty of care to gather all evidence relating to this case and our inquiries continue.”
Daily Star has reached out to Katie for comment.
Katie shares two children, Junior, 16, and Princess, 14, with singer Peter Andre. She also shares Jett, 8, and Bunny, 7, with former husband Kieran Hayler. Katie’s eldest son, Harvey, 19, was fathered by ex-footballer Dwight Yorke.
