On Saturday, a college student who went only by the name “Ben” from Madison, New Jersey, posted a set of pictures showing a glazed-eyed and naked Peaches Geldof (with a suspicious oozing wound on her left thigh) and claimed they spent the night doing drugs and having sex. “Ben” posted the pics along with a message giving out the details of the night on Reddit.com.
Ben claimed he met Peaches when they were staying with a mutual friend while Peaches attempted to record her debut album.
He alleges the pair spent the night together on Thanksgiving, on November 26, and drove around Los Angeles looking for syringes and cotton wool - as well as lemons to dissolve heroin that he says Peaches claimed she had brought from England.
He says: ‘She had a cute English accent and wasn’t bad looking at all. The tattoo discussion leads to us deciding we should get each other’s names tattooed on each other.
‘At 3am I grab my friend’s car keys, and head out. We drive all over Hollywood looking for a tattoo parlour, with no luck. While driving around we get on the topic of drugs. At this point in my life I was very into all drugs, as was she. She told me she had a bit of heroin she brought with her from the UK and asked me if I was game. I was so the hunt began.”
‘We drove all around LA looking for the supplies we needed. We drove to various pharmacies looking for needles and cotton.
‘We get them and begin the drive home. On the way back she mentions this is heroin base, meaning we need to dissolve this in lemon (I guess this is a British thing, I never have seen this in my years in NYC).’
He claims that by 5am, ‘I was high as a kite and we start to watch a movie. Things get hot and heavy and before I know it we’re naked’.
Bizarrely, he claims that after sleeping together the pair then woke up in a Scientology centre, where fresh convert Peaches had taken them to undergo a detoxification programme called Purif.
He added: ‘This girl ended up being a hardcore Scientologist and a D-List celebrity, and we were doing a process called Purif.’
Peaches has long been linked to drugs. In July 2008, she was treated by emergency paramedics after an overdose and was believed to have stopped breathing for several minutes until she was revived. However, she refused to go to hospital for fear her father would find out.
That incident came after she was seen offering a drug pusher up to $250 in May 2008. She was questioned under caution but never charged.
Geldof, 58, had publicly said he would go ‘ballistic’ if Peaches ever turned to drugs.
In August 2008, she admitted she took drugs but insisted: ‘It’s something people go through in their lives, especially growing up in London.’
Then in December that year she left a ’shopping list’ of drugs including Viagra and sleeping pills in a London pub. She soon left London and moved to New York.
At the age of 19 she married wannabe drummer Max Drummey, 24, in Las Vegas without her father’s knowledge. The marriage lasted just six months.
She has attempted to launch a music career, while Disappear Now, the style magazine she launched, has flopped and her column on trendy New York magazine Nylon has been slated by readers.
Last night, Peaches’ lawyers said: ‘The incident and photos concern private issues and activity; the photographs were taken for private purposes only.’
They added: ‘The allegations that our client was carrying and injecting heroin are denied, our client having consumed alcohol with the other individual leading to the “highs” described and portrayed in the photographs.’
They also said the alleged visit to a Scientology centre was ‘ fictitious’, adding: ‘Nobody who is not a member of that organisation is permitted into such buildings.’
