With more than 25 years in show business, Kerry Katona has had many of her highs and lows documented in public. For her five children, it hasn't always been easy having a mum in the limelight, particularly when it comes to her only son, 16-year-old Max Katona.
Kerry joined the adult subscription-only site OnlyFans in 2020 and, for Max, the controversial career move led to more backlash at school.
"All of my children have had a tough time, but Max perhaps a bit more than the others because of who I am," says Kerry, as she and Max sit down for an exclusive chat with new. "It is harder for boys and kids do say mean things to him.
At the end of the day, I'm his mum so it's going to hurt his feelings." "I have had a lot of crap said to me at school about my mum doing OnlyFans, but I've always had crap about what my mum does it hasn't been the best," admits Max, who says he's had to put up with classmates saying "horrible" things about Kerry that he'd rather not repeat.
Admitting he would often respond to bullying when he was younger by getting into fights, he says, "Someone once showed me a topless picture of my mum on the beach and we had a fight.
It does make me angry because I love my mum. All my friends who know her really love her, too. The mum you read about isn't the mum who I know." Kerry understands why Max gets so upset. "He is very protective of me and of the family - he doesn't let anyone talk badly of us," says the 44-year-old, who is also mum to Molly, 23, Lilly, 21, Heidi, 17, and DJ, 10.
Despite the bullying Max has faced over Kerry's career choices, she says it has never made her doubt her decision to do OnlyFans.
