Director Says Katie Price Skipped Premiere and Did Not Join Film Promotion

The director has publicly criticised Price’s absence as a refusal to support the Amazon Prime release and raised questions about cast promotional expectations.

Overview

  • Katie Price appears in a small cameo as Lisa in the comedy Jackie The Stripper after reportedly asking for a part in the film.
  • Her management initially confirmed she would attend the world premiere but, according to reports, she did not attend the early July screening and was said to have remained abroad.
  • The film became available to buy and rent on Amazon Prime in August and the production says all cast members helped publicise the release except Price.
  • Director Michael Head described Price’s conduct as “disgusting” in comments published on August 11–12 and his publicist repeated that other cast took part in promotion.
  • Price’s representatives have said she was not contractually required to do further promotion and declined to explain her absence which leaves the dispute focused on industry norms and public optics.
