Dapper Laughs has finally spoken out — but not in the way many expected — after facing intense backlash from Katie Price over a controversial joke involving her son, Harvey Price.
The 41-year-old comedian found himself at the centre of a growing storm after allegedly making a remark about Harvey during a recent stand-up gig. According to reports, he quickly told the audience to “pretend he didn’t say anything” — a moment that only fuelled outrage once word spread online.
Katie, known for fiercely defending her eldest son, did not hold back. Furious over the incident, she took to social media to call him out directly, accusing him of targeting someone who “can’t defend himself” due to his complex needs. She wrote that using Harvey as the subject of a joke made him a “disgusting human being” and added that she hopes he “gets cancelled for EVERYTHING.”
Instead of addressing the controversy head-on, Dapper Laughs appeared to sidestep the situation entirely. Posting a video to his followers, he urged people to adopt a more positive mindset, saying: “Happy Monday! It’s a brand new fresh week — don’t start with the same mentality you ended last week on. Shift it, fk it, let it go. Whoever is getting you down, fk them.”
He continued with a message about focusing on the positives, encouraging fans to push aside worries and negativity. “Switch it up, change your perspective. Whatever it is you’re thinking about and worrying about, f**king shift it out the way and focus on the positive things in your life,” he said, before adding that he was choosing to take a day off from worrying.
The post raised eyebrows among fans, many noting he failed to mention Katie or address the backlash directly.
Meanwhile, Katie doubled down on her stance, urging followers to report the comedian for what she described as bullying. She also demanded a public apology, insisting his words were “horrible” and unacceptable.
The situation escalated further when Katie’s husband, Lee Andrews, weighed in — challenging the comedian to settle things in the boxing ring with a furious message online.
At the heart of the controversy is Harvey, now 23, who has been diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, and septo-optic dysplasia — conditions that Katie has long raised awareness about while protecting her son from public scrutiny.
