’s latest bankruptcy hearing was held in private as the star feared screenshots of the proceedings being L***ed online.
The On***ans model, 45, and reportedly owes £3.2 million in debts.
She has managed to avoid a prison sentence relating to the repayment of the debts, with the latest hearing taking place on Thursday, September 14.
The hearing was held online, with Price pleading with the judge that it be kept private as she was ‘petrified’ of people recording or taking screenshots of the hearing and leaking it online.
She told Judge Paul Greenwood, at the beginning of the proceedings, ‘there are people already on here who shouldn’t be here,’ according to PA.
Price, speaking with her camera off, said a certain site is ‘awful about me … it’s a site where they just slag everyone off. I’m petrified,’ adding that people on the site were ‘already saying I’m going to jail.’
The mum-of-five accused one person, who joined the hearing on Microsoft Teams, of being ‘here to slag me off’ and ‘recording everything.’
The woman denied taking screenshots and said she was simply a ‘member of the public.’
Judge Greenwood reminded those present that taking screenshots would be in contempt of court, and directed that the hearing should take place in private with only the parties involved and their lawyers able to remain, saying he ‘simply cannot know who is in court remotely.’
‘In all of these circumstances, for the purposes of this particular hearing, in order that it should actually be capable of being conducted, I’m going now to direct that it be heard in private,’ the judge said, adding that the outcome of the hearing will be made publicly available.
It comes after a judge confirmed in July that the ormer glamour model would be questioned over her finances after she four years ago.
At a previous bankruptcy hearing in October 2020, Price apologised to the court, saying she hadn’t been ‘able to deal with these issues or in the right mental state to understand everything that has been going on.’
In February last year, she avoided jail for a second time over her bankruptcy as she struck a ‘last-minute deal.’
