Question about Kerry Katona's management

Firstly it has to be noted that Kerry Katona's new management have obviously saved her life and helped her rebuild her career as a TV personality. Claire, Nicola and Neville have been her much needed guardian angels but I just wondered if Kerry is hundreds of thousands of pounds in debt and her management are funding her her home, utilities, car, kids etc (even renting a house for that leach of a mother of her's Sue) what gain is it to the management company if the finances of the celebrity are low/non existent? She allegedly received 60 grand for Dancing on Ice - probably a fraction of the debts she owes to clear her bankruptcy but surely it will take Kerry years to clear the debt and hence it will be years before she can become self sufficient and financially independent again? I'm delighted she has her life back on track and I am a huge Kerry fan but I just wondered about the logistics of it all?

But in last week's episode (which was around November time) the house she owned which her mother Sue was living in was reclaimed to help clear her bankruptcy? Can they not follow her for more money now she's earning?
How does she earn the money for this lifestyle By getting off her backside and working damned hard? No - just be selling her private life to the highest bidders, exposing her children to the media constantly, sticking her tongue out at photographers, and....that appears to be it.
Considering that a lot of people are genuinely struggling with money at the moment, it seems distasteful to show someone like her supposed to be bankrupt and yet living a lifestyle that most hard working people could ill afford.
I used to feel so angry about the awful message Kerry's bankrupt lifestyle sent out to the masses but I'd rather be in the gutter than have her life. She'll slip up again at some point because it takes more to turn someone's life around than a new haircut and a bit of money. I pity her poor kids, who she has successfully used to make people like her despite the appalling mother she has been.
Good post, it makesa me furious the way she carries on spending and socialising but, is supposedly bankrupt.
Stop, you're making me cry. Guardian angels?? Do you seriously think they'd have picked her up if there wasn't money to be made exploiting her car crash of a life? Because that's what it is, cynical exploitation. But Kerry's too stupid and desperate for attention to care. Guardian angels would have taken Kerry aside, told her some hard home truths, and then helped her with the business of sorting out her and her children's lives away from the cameras.
Guardian angels my arse.
It has been much longer than normal but in bankruptcy all personal assets are considered for liquidation to pay creditors, her Wilmslow house I read was repo'd as she was in arrears - her trustee will allow her some money from her earnings to have a reasonable life style but CAN are playing the longer game and continue to receive their cut of her earnings as they get her the jobs it is only the money she then receives that would be used to repay her creditors.
Nice post.
CAN can bang on about how they're "healing" Kerry as much as they like but it's only the thickest of people who won't understand that they're actually exploiting her on a worrying level and Kerry will never be more than their puppet.
The relationship between CAN/Kerry has to be one of the unhealthiest in showbiz.
However it isn't that simple with her management. They are bank rolling every aspect of her life - she maybe starting to pay the inland revenue back - but at the same time she is building up a huge liability to her managers (as we are constantly reminded), which is really not healthy and could cloud her managements integrity when seeking work for KK. After all, their priority will be to ensure that KK can repay them the huge amounts they are subbing her, in addition to the % of her earnings they will take as her managers - rather than ensuring any work is in KK's best interest. Huge conflict of interest IMO.
Wouldn't their fee come out of any payment before it was used to pay off the debts? It does not make sense that CAN would bankroll someone as unstable as KK without guaranteed payment.
But CAN don't give a shit about Kerry beyond making money from her. I'm glad Kerry's children have a roof over their head but they don't need a mansion, private schools and whatever else CAN are funding. Kerry's lifestyle is ridiculous and CAN are appalling when they act like all you need to cure yourself of the kind of in-depth problems Kerry had is a haircut and some money.
Yes, they are making money, that is what they are about, they are agents. They are also about promotion of both the client and themselves. They are promoting both in a way that appears to work for them and which they wish to continue with.
Some management would not even bother with their minutae of a client, they do and their clients appear to enjoy being "one happy family". Their clients can always leave and they CAN always finish a contract with a client. Both feed off and are of a benefit to each other.

Reinforces everything that is frequently said on here, from someone close enough to see for himself.
CAN and Kerry may be using each other but I'll always stand by my belief that CAN are an extremely creepy and unethical agency. It's good that most people on here see them for that too.
Interviews I've seen of Claire Powell's sleeping partner Neville Hendricks, he comes across as someone who takes no prisoners, doesn't give a jot and ain't making TV programmes for their art or accuracy.
Kerry is a performing seal which her 'friends' are quite happy to keep happy with a plentiful supply of dead fish, till the money stops coming in.
How many of CAN's female clients have had their mugs plastered in the press at the same Boot Camp that Kerry went too?
Are the newspapers/mags, editors and reporters on the payroll and have to print the photos and name the boot camp without question?
BTW isn't her "property developer" ex moaning he did not want to become Mr KK - hence proving he was only boosting his profile......??
PR firms aren't normally out to promote themselves - they are there to promote their clients.
As another poster on here has said - it appears that most users of this forum can see CAN for the unprofessional and rather creepy agency that they are.
Powell is just as dangerous as Max Clifford for Kerry. Kerry is f****d up. No question about it and she needs looking after so she clings on to these older, parental figures who she thinks will look after her but they just want her money and once she stops making that money she will be on a heap somewhere.
Sad.
If he hates the celeb lifestyle, why is he on take me out?
