Hello darlings, welcome back to Cognac’s Corner Magazine.

Heath Ledger
 

Actor Heath Ledger was addicted to cocaine and heroin in the past year.   His angry fiance Michelle Williams arranged to have him thrown out of their Brooklyn home because of his substance abuse with lethal drugs.

“She couldn’t take it any more. Heath wouldn’t show up for two to three days, and all of a sudden he would show up on her doorstep, an absolute wreck,” a member of Ledger’s entourage who did drugs revealed. “He was partying, doing drugs. She didn’t like the company he was keeping. She gave him an ultimatum. . . . and threatened to get custody of the girl. He wanted to make it work, but it was this scene he was wrapped up in. Was he an addict? Yeah.” The revelation comes as “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider” said that “out of respect for Heath Ledger’s family,” they would drop plans to air a video of Ledger snorting cocaine with a rolled-up bill at the Chateau Marmont. The video was taped without Ledger’s knowledge following the SAG Awards two years ago. PageSix.com reports that Ledger quips on the tape, “I’m gonna get so much [bleep] from my girlfriend. We have a baby together, Matilda.”

Heath’s drug pal told The Post the 28-year-old star’s mushrooming fame had him constantly exposed to drugs. As the pressures of work grew, he couldn’t say no, and then wouldn’t get help. “He was hanging out with a bad crowd. He wasn’t cleaning up his act. He was making absolutely no effort . . . He was really into heroin. He wasn’t sleeping or communicating with anyone.”

“At the end of the day this is really tragic,” the source reported. “He was a nice guy. I first met him in 2002. He was scared about the whole Hollywood thing . . . I don’t think he realized how crazy it was going to be. So many people wanted a piece of him.”

A close pal of his reported that once he started using heroin his life turned for the worse. “Once you go down that road, then it gets really scary. Because all of sudden you shoot up, you take heroin, then you do a line of cocaine and then you take sleeping pills. Look at River Phoenix, he died exactly the same way.”
