Lee Andrews has reportedly been attempting to sell a sex tape purportedly featuring his wife, Katie Price, for approximately £250,000. According to recent reports, Andrews has been discussing the sale of this footage for months, with the intention of selling it to companies that previously profited from leaked videos of celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Pamela Anderson.
Andrews, 43, was reportedly jailed again last week, just a month after his release from Dubai's Al Awir prison. Prior to his detention on fraud allegations, a voice note allegedly sent by Andrews to a friend surfaced, in which he discussed a tape that "might go for a pretty penny." In the recording, he reportedly stated a need to "get cash quickly" and suggested the tape could earn him £250,000. However, upon being warned that such a sale would be illegal without Price's consent, he allegedly backtracked, claiming he was joking and that they have OnlyFans.
Claims of the sex tape were first reported by The Sun, which cited a voice note allegedly made by Andrews. The report suggested he was in contact with Vivid Entertainment and other adult content distributors, seeking an advance of £250,000. These attempts were reportedly not taken seriously and did not result in a sale.
Katie Price has vehemently denied any involvement in or knowledge of such a tape. She issued a statement on Saturday asserting that the story is "completely untrue" and that any suggestion otherwise is "false and deeply misleading." Price stated that the claims are based on a voice note from Lee discussing a tape that "does not exist and never will." She expressed feeling "incredibly upset, abused and humiliated" by the public sharing of these false allegations.
Andrews' father was reportedly also taken into custody and placed in the same Dubai prison as his son on suspicion of fraud, having been reported to officials by a third party. It is understood that Katie Price has reached a point of frustration with her husband's ongoing legal issues, with friends urging her to leave him. A source indicated that Andrews is attempting to raise funds to secure his release and return to the UK.
This is not the first legal entanglement for Andrews. He was released from prison last month after being detained on fraud allegations, though he has maintained his innocence, claiming he was captured at gunpoint and suspected of espionage. He has also faced accusations from ex-partners of financial deception, including allegations of taking out a significant mortgage in an ex-girlfriend's name without her knowledge, leading to a travel ban from Dubai. Other exes have claimed he misled them into investing money with promises of high returns. Andrews has denied these allegations.
