This is really the downside of our super-technological world now; cell-phone pictures, cameras, celebrity mags, papparazi, internet,NO ONE CAN BE SURE OF PRIVACY.
If this violates his or his family's privacy, or it's an unauthorized video - I would sue if I were them.
I can't believe certain media can be so disrespectful - it's all about money. At the very least, it should be shown a year or so after his death, if ever.
No need to sully his reputation by showing such a thing - we'll probably find out about drugs in the autopsy report, if it is made public.
I bet there's a few other people on this video that are a bit nervous this evening.
I love Reese, that is one girl who has it together. I would love to see them marry.
If there is nothing else to see than that, I'd say overrated.
I'm not advocating drug use; however, I can totally see how any young person (especially Hollywood) would be very tempted to do drugs. It is tempting.I want to cry. They showed clips tonight of the Video on ET, the full thing is on tomorrow. Heath's conversation is very clear, it's very honest of his drug use. The video is clear, he is in a room in the hotel, with "strangers", over a coffee table with a mound of cocaine on it. They are snorting. He says I'm going to be in serious *advertiser censored* (or trouble) with my girlfriend. She and Matilda whom was 3 months old were a couple floors above in the hotel. It's just really sad.
JinkieJada, I owe you an apology, I wasn't sounding very compassionate about the drug use and the real person there whom is otherwise good and kind but doing this, such as Heath.
I've prayed this lovely man is resting in peace.
In worry about those girls. I see trouble ahead.Good point. I still think Mary Kate's statement was a bit terse considering the obvious speed dial friendship. Excuse the pun.
I was surprised the police chose not to interview her.
ET is trash TV.
I didn't find it overrated, I found it very powerful. Sad. Real. It effected me.
I also don't think just what they showed tonight was any kind of preperation for a roll. This was a man, and some other people, with a SERIOUS problem with cocaine. That is not a drug people can do like that and live a life with.
....I would imagine that even coke is almost commonplace in certain circles in LA.
If I was seeing correctly HE was not shown doing it. He was just there as far as I could tell. We'll see if the so-called full version shows him doing anything beyond talking about his experiences. However I believe if he were, we would have seen this video long before his death. They said it was the night before he was announced as an academy award nominee - I think whoever made the tape would have cashed in on it at that time. I would imagine that even coke is almost commonplace in certain circles in LA.
I do not have a problem believing Ledger struggled with addiction. But I also don't believe every lurid thing I am reading about it.
Lurid wasn't quite the word I would use for the video. Except that someone was filming it. Ok, perhaps it is lurid. There's no hint of sexual depravity or anything like that though. But they are all kinds of messed up. It's not an easy ride down from that. And to the straight people that love him, Michelle and other's, she must have been frustrated and hurt beyond belief.
