Katie Price Urges ‘Cancellation’ of Dapper Laughs Over Alleged Joke About Son Harvey

The clash underscores long-running concerns about comedians mocking disabled people.

Overview

  • Price, who posted on Instagram Sunday, accused comedian Daniel O’Reilly of making a new joke about her disabled son and urged followers to report his account for bullying.
  • Her husband, Lee Andrews, followed with a social-media boxing challenge to O’Reilly and told him to leave Harvey alone.
  • Harvey, 23, has Prader–Willi syndrome, autism and vision loss from septo-optic dysplasia and requires round-the-clock care.
  • No response from O’Reilly was reported as of publication, and no regulator or broadcaster announced action related to the new allegation.
  • The dispute lands against a backdrop of O’Reilly’s 2014 ITV axing over offensive material and Price’s earlier 2010 fight with Frankie Boyle after jokes about Harvey.
