Jodie Marsh responds to Katie Price’s invitation with three words, revealing details of their bitter 20-year rivalry
Following Katie Price’s offer to work with her on an OnlyFans picture shoot, Jodie Marsh has spoken out.
The two, who were rival glamour models in the 2000s, were well-known for their infamous slanging match, but they have avoided one another in more recent times.
That was before Katie, 46, reached out to Jodie, 45, earlier this year, saying she ‘never had an issue’ with her and proposing to work with her on a sexy photo session.
The models’ careers have taken quite different turns since their Page 3 glory days. Katie has remained in the spotlight due to a number of controversies, while Jodie stepped back from the spotlight to establish Fripps Farm, an animal sanctuary.
Speaking to MailOnline from her haven, Jodie disclosed that she has made the decision to put the past behind her. Upon learning of Katie’s gift, she merely remarked, “That’s very… sweet.”
When asked if she would accept Katie’s offer, Jodie chuckled and said, “I’ll keep it in mind.”
For many years, Jodie and Katie’s conflict served as material for tabloids, and Jodie continues to maintain that she was right in her assertion that “Katie started it!” I had droopy t*ts, she said.I just responded by saying, “At least mine are real,” and that was all.
She referred to me by every moniker imaginable. I had droopy t*ts, she said. My t*ts resembled a dog’s ears. My nose resembled a builder’s elbow.
After they were made public, all of these remarks remained for a very long time. I was in my early twenties, therefore I was also rather young.
It’s difficult to be mistreated for your physical appearance every day of your life; I don’t know how I survived it.
How can anyone believe that such behavior is appropriate? On the street, I would get called “saggy t*ts” by certain individuals. They believed it was acceptable to say it to my face after reading it in the newspaper.
Even so, in a February podcast episode, the mother-of-five requested her fellow model to join her for an OnlyFans photo session, giving the impression that she was ready to move on.
‘I’ve never had an issue with her [Jodie], and I usually tell to people that we’d probably get on since we both love animals, especially horses,’ she said.
“Both of us have experienced the mill.” She has never bothered me and I don’t really have an issue with her, even if she reaches out.
“It would be amazing if she and I did an OnlyFans photo shoot, don’t you think?” If Jodie wanted to do an OnlyFans shot, I wouldn’t rule it out.
‘Come on Jodie Marsh, what do you think?’ was Katie’s caption for the video.
But now, Jodie has completely changed her perspective on life and her work, putting her stardom behind her to manage an animal refuge in Great Dunmow, Essex, and launch Fripps Farm in 2020.
Jodie, however, is struggling to make ends meet due to the exorbitant expenses of operating Fripps, so she turned to OnlyFans for assistance.
After accounting for everyday expenses, food, and vet fees, she calculates that the sanctuary needs to spend about £24,000 a month to remain open.
“People don’t even consider the costs of little things,” Jodie pondered. For example, I think I’ve purchased six or seven hose pipes this year; they’re not inexpensive because they need to be very long in order to reach the fields. What would happen then if an animal broke or chewed one?
It’s all the minor details that pass folks by without ever considering them. They say, “Oh, you just have to feed them,” but the prices are simply exorbitant.
Jodie went back to her favorite thing, glamor modeling, to help pay the debts that kept piling up.
She clarified, “I was funding it all myself and I did it by doing OnlyFans before we became a C.I.C (Community Interest Company).”
‘I had to use OnlyFans to cover the £60,000 cost of the surrounding fence alone to secure the animals. My breasts covered the cost of the fencing as well as the salaries of the employees!
Since Fripps is now a C.I.C., the public can donate to help with ongoing expenses, and Jodie didn’t waste any time in thanking her “utterly amazing” fans for their financial contributions and purchases of food for the animals.
Jodie, who has been a vegetarian since she was five years old, has always loved animals, and even when she was getting paid thousands of dollars to strip for photo shoots, she would dream of working with animals.
But Jodie didn’t feel the urge to launch Fripps Farm until after her mother Kristina passed away tragically from cancer in September 2020.
“My mum got sick, and her decline was fairly quick,” Jodie said in her explanation. Because the hospitals had kicked out all the cancer patients during COVID, my dad and I had to take care of her at home.
“It was simply horrifying.” I quit my job and everything to take care of my mother.
Witnessing my mother’s death in front of me was what finally made me realize how brief life is.
I don’t want to be doing TV shows, picture shoots, or anything else like that, so why would I go do it again?
That isn’t going to bring me happiness.Having an animal sanctuary will bring me happiness, as it is the one thing I have ever genuinely desired. I’ve always known that’s the ultimate aim.
Jodie didn’t find it difficult to give up the spotlight.
She acknowledged herself: “I detested being famous.” I would never see anyone again if I had money!
