“I just don’t want the drama.”
Katie Price has said she’ll never reveal who she was raped by early in her career.
Speaking in 2009 on her show What Katie Did Next, she said that she was sexually assaulted by a well-known figure in the entertainment industry when she was younger.
She has never reported the incident to police and today said she never will.
“I was raped by a celebrity but no, I’ll never name him,” she told the Sun.
“I just don’t want the drama. I don’t even know if he knows that I’ve spoken about him, I doubt he does,” she added.

According to a friend of Katie’s, she had been on several dates with the man and the assault took place after a party in the West End of London.
He became violent when he didn’t get what he wanted, they said.
“At one point he made a move for her throat. It sounded terrible,” the friend told the Mirror.
The incident is believed to have happened before Katie met future husband Peter Andre in 2004.
Katie’s refusal to name her attacker comes in the wake of a growing scandal in Hollywood involving producer Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein has been accused of sexual harassment and assault by world-famous actresses including Angelina Jolie, Gwenyth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Rose McGowan, Ashley Judd and Lena Headley.
The scandal has also exposed a wider culture of sexual harassment and exploitation in the entertainment industry.
Katie today said that she believes the Hollywood producer will be punished for his actions.
“I don’t know much about the Harvey Weinstein case, but he’ll go down for it,” she said.
