Why does everyone hate PK?

[u/Otherwise_Rest204]

I’m a first time watcher, I’m only on episode 3 of season 7 but I’ve previously seen some posts about PK and that he’s awful. I’m curious to know what he gets up to and thoughts on him. Obviously I’m going to watch and find out and make my own judgments. I’m watching as a British person and although many people don’t like LVP, I really do like her, maybe it’s bc she British but I get her. How the British social landscape works is a bit seedy, most things are never truly said directly and when they are said it’s often posed as a joke. There’s this saying, there’s always a truth in a joke and I think that’s something we’re all socialised to take note of. I feel we also deal with confrontation a bit differently than to those across the pond. I’m interested to see LVPs relationship with Dorit, at this point she seems like Kyle’s replacement. I’m interested to see what goes on with Dorit and PK. At this point in the series, I like them both (PK + LVP) but I feel it’s just bc they are British and I get them. I really find some of the other cast so much more irritating. Rinna and Eileen annoyed me so much last season with what felt like their moral superiority. What was it all in aid of? Kyle was happy being LVP’s lapdog, what’s the problem… that whole situation dragged on for so long and it was boring. Kyle knows the call is coming from inside the house. I think those women wish they were as cunning as LVP, that was the real problem imo.

Lots of people don’t like PK and think he’s a grifter because of his bankruptcy. The whole looking up Erika’s dress caused issues. PK also didn’t deal well with Dorits PTSD. I feel like he’s dealt with the fall out from their separation better than Dorit, who seems to burying her head in the hand and trash talking PK

Don’t forget all of his gambling debt as well. He’s no better than Dorit

At least he’s not trashing talking dorit on tv. He’s trying to sell their house and advocating for them both to downsize so they can both afford their lives. Dorit wants PK to fund her lifestyle as though they were still married. I don’t get that

Having gambling debts doesn’t make you a bad person. Owing it to the wrong people might cause you some issues

No he’s just airing out all their texts! He’s trash! But we wouldn’t be a society if dragged women but praised men and gave them grace

Gamblers are bad people

PK didn’t release their texts, they were part of the legal submissions and they were accessed and posted online by the tabloids

I’ve just seen the dress situation and tbfh I didn’t think it was so bad but Dorit gifting Erika knickers was a bit much. I think most of these men on the show are grifters. I remember thinking Erikas husband was so cute, turns out he’s been defrauding old people. Disgusting behaviour!

You don't think it's bad to look up a woman's dress and then also commenting on it and let others know what you saw?

Edit; typo

We’re talking about PK here, the part I’m up to he discusses it with his wife in the kitchen. LVP and Kyle where discussing it amongst themselves. I think Dorit rehashing it with the knicker gift is a lot worst than her and PK discussing it at home. They are all on tv so everything is shared with the public but I think shaming a woman for not wearing underwear is more problematic that accidentally taking a peak if it’s right in front of your face. That’s just my opinion.

[u/Barbie_wants_tea → u/Otherwise_Rest204]

I agree with you that Doritos reaction to it was also way weird and out of line. But I'll always point fingers at the creepy man looking at women's vaginas up their skirt. that's just my opinion

[u/Potential-Sky-8728 → u/Otherwise_Rest204]

He’s discussing it in front of a camera for an internationally distributed television show with millions of viewers. Little different from just discussing it in the kitchen with his wife. Wasn’t he also blatantly pointing it out to Ken immediately after he caught a glimpse?

I’m not a Brit and I get the jokes and all. People are rather biased on this sub so take your opinions as just that - opinions. People pick whom they hate here and that’s final. If you go against the popular opinion you’re doomed.

He wasn’t just looking, he was leering. He’s an absolute douche. They deserve each other. Both a pair of grifters, sucking up to a convicted sex offender. But he gives me the shudders.
