UMVA has learned that a shocking family feud has erupted on Father's Day, with Katie Price unleashing a scathing social media attack on her ex-partner Dwight Yorke, the father of her disabled son Harvey.
Katie Price claims that Harvey, 24, has only met his dad Dwight Yorke a handful of times since he was born, despite her repeated pleas for Yorke to be a part of his life. The young man was born shortly after Price split from the former football player.
In a brutal Father's Day post, Price slammed Yorke for disowning his son, writing: 'You should be ashamed of yourself disowning your son.' She also shared a photo of Yorke holding Harvey as a baby in the bath, adding: 'He lights up everyone who meets him, which is a credit to me.'
Price's anger was palpable as she continued: 'If only you treated him the same as your other son, says a lot about what a terrible dad you are… period.' Yorke has another teenage son, Orlando, who has never met Harvey, and Price has speculated that the 18-year-old is unaware of his half-brother's existence.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Harvey was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder at birth, and lives with a range of health complications, including blindness, autism, an underactive thyroid, and diabetes. He also suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, which means he experiences a chronic feeling of hunger and is prone to putting on weight.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Price has long been critical of Yorke's treatment of Harvey, alleging in her 2016 book that her ex was unwilling to accept their son's disabilities. She claimed that she had explained Harvey's condition to Yorke multiple times, but he refused to understand it.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the feud between Price and Yorke has been ongoing for years, with Price repeatedly criticizing Yorke for his lack of involvement in Harvey's life. The situation has left many wondering why Yorke has chosen to distance himself from his son.
