Katie Price has sparked outrage after promoting illegal CBD products while in Dubai, with fans warning the former glamour model over her actions.
Katie Price Promotes CBD Oil in Dubai Despite Its Illegal Status
The 47-year-old took to Instagram this week to share a video explaining how she uses CBD oil and how much she loves it. However, her promotion of the product while in Dubai has drawn sharp criticism due to the strict laws in the UAE regarding cannabis-related products.
Katie, who is currently 34 weeks pregnant, explained, “Guess who’s back in Dubai!! I do love being here, but there’s one thing I will always miss and that’s my CBD oil!” She continued, “I know my sleep is never going to be as good when I can’t have my oil, lots of people think it’s drugs, but it really isn’t. You can use my code Katie40 for 40% off.”
However, CBD oil is illegal in the UAE, with zero tolerance for promoting or possessing cannabis products. According to UK government guidelines, CBD oil is considered illegal in Dubai, and possessing or advertising such products could lead to confiscation and criminal charges.
Social Media Outrage: Katie’s Actions Draw Concern
Fans on social media expressed their concerns about Katie’s actions, with some questioning whether she’s allowed to promote CBD in Dubai. Many took to Reddit to voice their disapproval, with one user commenting, “Katie still playing with fire.” Another added, “Katie landed in Dubai and it wasn’t long till she posted yet another video of her promoting CBD, she even mentioned she was in Dubai. Is she even allowed to be posting clips advertising CBD from Dubai?”
The backlash follows last year’s controversy when Katie supported boxer Anthony Fowler’s claims that CBD had “healed” his child’s tumour. She promoted his CBD brand and included a checkout code that she would profit from, leading to accusations of irresponsibility.
The Risks of CBD and Legal Concerns
CBD oil is derived from cannabis and is known to have some medicinal benefits. However, experts, including the NHS, warn that not all CBD products are of good quality, and they may be illegal and potentially harmful. The NHS also advises that users should consult a specialist before using CBD, as it can affect how other medicines work and even the liver.
Katie’s Dubai Visit and Husband’s Controversial Background
Katie is currently in Dubai to reunite with her husband, Lee Andrews. The couple married in January just weeks after meeting, but their relationship has raised eyebrows due to reports surrounding Lee’s past. He has allegedly been banned from leaving Dubai after spending time in jail for a £200,000 loan scam.
In a bizarre twist, Lee also announced that he was joining OnlyFans despite previously claiming to be a billionaire. Fans and family have raised concerns about the couple’s whirlwind romance and Lee’s questionable business dealings.
