Today Katie appeared on This Morning to discuss the petition and revealed the extent of the abuse directed at Harvey much of which is racist ITV She revealed some of the abuse Harvey has faced, including the video one troll made which used audio clips of Harvey to make it sound as though they were having sex. Katie said that while she succeeded in having the specific troll arrested, he was not charged or cautioned – and this is what she'd like to change with her petition. But when Katie was asked where the line between a joke and abuse lay she ended up using the N-word twice in her response The Wall Of Comedy @TheWallOfComedy WATCH AS KATIE PRICE DROPS THE N-WORD TWICE ON LIVE TV #thismorning 10:33 AM - 26 Apr 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite Katie said:Is it strong enough to call my son a "black, blind nigger?" is that not abuse? They say that he dribbles, they call him a "golliwog" – that's my son. Is that acceptable? We can all have banter, we can all say things, and I'm not trying to take away free speech, but you know when you're crossing the line. And, if something is in place, people might think differently. Calling my son a "nigger" and stuff isn't acceptable. On the second instance of using the word host Phillip Schofield intervened to tell her You don t need to say it again ITV Shortly after coming off air Katie posted a video to Instagram defending her use of the word View this photo on Instagram instagram.com She said:So I've just been on This Morning and I've made the headlines everywhere because I used the word "nigger." Yes, I did use the word "nigger," because that's what people call my son. They call him a "blind nigger," a "black spastic." They call him a "golliwog." So I'm glad I've made headlines using that word, because I want to get it out there that it's not acceptable. Just think about it – there's all the people out there that have to put up with that kind of abuse. Because I'm in the public eye, I can speak about it and it's got to stop. Online bullying has to stop. Please sign my petition and get these online trolling horrible bullies off. But it didn t take long before people took to social media to share their opinions Many were angry that she d used the word regardless of its context Vanessa Fisher @Veeee1234 having a mixed raced child doesn't give you a free pass to throw the word around so casually #katieprice 12:29 PM - 26 Apr 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite Just Geo. @JustGeoUK @MissKatiePrice Regardless of context it's offensive for you to use the word and the comfort with which you repeate… https://t.co/df7ER0Q1ch 12:43 PM - 26 Apr 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite * @Uwnaynaa Lmao when will non- black people realise that your opinion on how black people should feel about N-word usage is irrelevant. 11:05 AM - 26 Apr 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite Others thought the context was acceptable POSH @AdaoraKaycee In the context Katie Price used the 'N-Word', I personally think it was completely acceptable 12:26 PM - 26 Apr 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite Some said she was attention-seeking Semothy Jones @semothyjones Katie Price could have easily said "they call my son the N word" and we would have understood, but then she wouldn't get her attention. 12:26 PM - 26 Apr 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite Odin Quincannon @fawizium Katie Price could have conveyed her sentiment without using the word. She even had the effrontery to repeat on a twitter video 12:23 PM - 26 Apr 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite While others found the use of the word repellent Lala @lolagazelle Katie Price saying the N word made me feel ill.
