Katie Price and Olympic boxer Anthony Fowler accused of ‘rancid con’ over using his two-year-old daughter’s cancer tumour to flog CBD oil
Katie Price and Olympic boxer Anthony Fowler have been accused of a ‘rancid’ con after claiming CBD oil ‘healed’ the latter’s daughter’s tumour.
Fowler revealed last year that his daughter Roma, now two, had been suffering with a tumour and that he had used CBD oil to address it.
In separate posts, he boasted about refusing chemotherapy for his daughter. Fowler the founder of Supreme CBD, a brand of oil derived from the cannabis plant that contains cannabidiol (CBD).
Now Price has weighed in, claiming Fowler’s daughter has been ‘healed’ after the family refused hospital treatment. There is no evidence that CBD oil can cure cancer.
‘Very serious chat with Srena Stregapede and Anthony Fowler about their two-year-old daughter who had a tumour in her leg, they refused hospital treatment and healed her themselves which is amazing,’ she wrote on X.
‘They was (sic) telling me all about Supreme CBD and how it works for fibromyalgia, arthritis, anxiety/depression any aches/pains or insomnia,’ she wrote, before posting a checkout code that she would profit from.

Fowler shared an image purporting to be his daughter’s tumour halving in size – after regularly promoting Supreme CBD, which he founded
Last year, Fowler said that they had refused chemotherapy for baby Roma, who is now two
‘F****** rancid behaviour,’ replied one user on X.
‘It’s a big con. You know you are being a con artist,’ another said.
‘It does not cure cancer ffs!’ said another.
‘It is irresponsible to suggest CBD would shrink a tumour like that. CBD used responsibly & in conjunction with other medicines can have huge pain relieving, calming properties etc. But no reputable CBD supplier would allow endorsement like this, it is illegal to do so,’ one wrote.
‘Very serious chat to spread seriously dangerous anti scientific s**** to gullible morons,’ one said.
Some CBD products are legal to buy as food supplements from health stores, but according to the NHS website, the ‘quality and content’ of online-sold products is unknown and they ‘may be illegal and potentially dangerous’.
The NHS acknowledges that CBD does have ‘medical benefits,’ but that there is no guarantee that even products sold in health stores will be of ‘good quality’.
Moreover, CBD can affect how other medicines work, so a specialist should always be consulted about using it in conjunction with other treatment.
Price was blasted after lauding the benefits of CBD oil and claiming it ‘healed’ Roma
Doctors would also need to monitor users regularly because it can affect the liver.
Alongside Price’s post on X, she shared a video lauding CBD. ‘The word CBD has been floating around and all of that. People like me in the beginning were skeptical – like, ‘Oh no!’ – but now you know it’s safe, it’s not a drug,’ she said.
However, according to the Mayo Clinic, CBD use ‘carries some risks’ such as ‘mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, drowsiness and fatigue.’
Fowler, Robbie Fowler’s cousin, shared Price’s post and responded to criticism, sharing an image which purportedly showed the reduction in his daughter’s tumour size from 37.1mm in diameter to 21.2mm.
‘It’s what you call the truth mate me and my partner shrunk my daughters tumour by half using ZERO PHARMACEUTICAL MEDICINE,’ he wrote.
‘We going Alder Hey next week for final scan and I bet it’s fully gone now.’
Below, he added that: ‘I never once said it (healing) was the CBD, but that helped her massively with pain.’
But users saw the irony in that statement from a CBD ambassador who has previously spoke about using CBD oil on his daughter’s tumour.
‘You literally know what you’re doing,’ wrote one user.
‘CBD business owner here to tell you all about his amazing CBD and also his daughter’s shrunken tumour while carefully not claiming it was the CBD that cured it. 40% off!’ said another.
