Friend sent me \link{http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds33097.html\this link}.

Now it could have been a stunt with fake blood and heroin but those on the receiving end would not have known that. Totally irresponsible behaviour imo.

This guy has a young son but he needs to grow up or else it is going to end badly for himSad

heard about this on the radio yesterday. the man should just hurry up and OD.

schneebly · 17/05/2006 16:02

He is a waste of space IMO!

JoolsToo · 17/05/2006 16:03

arse

PinkKerPlink · 17/05/2006 16:04

he is a heroin addict, i dont think gropwing up is on his agenda. I think the media needs to keep away from him tbh

I feel sorry for him

Mascaraohara · 17/05/2006 16:05

Absolutely can't stand the man, he really is a waste of space the quicker people stop writing about him and interviewing him the quicker he'll siappear into oblivion.

trice · 17/05/2006 16:14

He is only doing it for attention - look away everyone.

I don't understand why he gets all this media attention anyone. What exactly has he done to warrant such attention?

Did you see the big article about him in the Sunday Times?

Man, all he is is your basic, tragic junkie.

Going around painting the wells in blood and trashing rooms.

He's skint and begs money off all and sundry, just like any junkie.

What a saddo.

Orlando · 17/05/2006 16:23

Good interview/article on him in the Sunday times this week. Comes across as being sad rather than deliberately vile, which I had previously thought him to be. Lots of issues...

Orlando · 17/05/2006 16:23

X post expat!

expatinscotland · 17/05/2006 20:34

That is a pretty f*&ked up 'stunt', though.

If it actually was a stunt.

He'll wind up another Courtney Love - pathetic junkie.

Courtney's already lost custody of her child more than once.

Should be for good. Poor kid.

plummymummy · 17/05/2006 22:12

Actually I don't think he's a typical junkie. He's a lot worse. I think he's a PD (personality disorder) and a narcissistic type at that.

expatinscotland · 17/05/2006 23:27

after re-reading the Times article and his latest stunt, plummy, I'm going to have to agree w/you there.

plummymummy · 18/05/2006 10:14

He even has the right initials

Tutter · 18/05/2006 10:16

article in sunday times v good and a few bits have haunted me since.

like kate m's comment to him "you're in my blood you f*". just wierdy imo.

biglips · 18/05/2006 10:16

knob head!!!!!!

Orlando · 18/05/2006 10:21

There's something helpless about him though, which would fit with plummy's diagnosis. He seems to be on an inevitable trajectory to destruction.

Frenchgirl · 18/05/2006 10:25

I read that article too, v sad, v f*cked up boy
I wonder how his family feel about him

southeastastra · 18/05/2006 10:36

The media should just quietly ignore him, how old is he? He acts as if he's two and a half. The more coverage he gets the more he'll misbehave, pathetic.

Adorabelle · 18/05/2006 11:25

Totally agree with you south.e.a The man is an attention seeking moron & he should not be recieving anymore press attention.
Many teenagers idolise this man & want to be like
him, giving him this press coverage will just
encourage him to carry on being "outragous", not a suitable role model me thinks

Whoops!!

expatinscotland · 18/05/2006 11:32

I feel very sorry for Kate Moss's daughter. I am truly grateful that I was not born to someone like her. She sounds just as twisted as he is.

FG, his father no longer has contact w/him b/c of how he has broken his mother's heart by his behaviour. Don't know about his two sisters, though. It's hard, but there's nothing you can do to help a person like that until they try to help themselves. Right now, he's not interested in that and uses people to get more dope.

Frenchgirl · 18/05/2006 11:37

well that's interesting expat, it must be tough enough to deal with someone like that privately, but to have it all out there in the press must be agony for them
v understandable that his dad has cut off links with him for now

expatinscotland · 18/05/2006 12:24

His dad hasn't gone to the public at all, so all we have is Pete's side of the story, and he did admit that he fell out w/his dad b/c of how his drug use affected his mother.

It must be agonising to see your child begin using drugs and continually pursue a course of self-destruction despite numerous attempts to get him some help.

I really feel for his family, it sounds like this has just broken their heart, in fact, he said as much about his mother.
