Peaches And Screamer: Geldof Daughter In Overdose Story
“PEACHES IN DRUGS OVERDOSE,” screams the Sun’s front-page headline, leading news that Peaches Geldof, precocious daughter to Bob Geldof, has, allegedly, taken too many drugs.
“999 crew dash to save Sir Bob Geldof’s girl.”
The story:
PEACHES Geldof stopped breathing for several minutes and could have died or suffered brain damage after a suspected drug overdose in her flat.
The pretty 19-year-old was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions by a pal to keep oxygen pumping to her brain. So says a “source”, who provides all the details of the drama.
So why then did Peaches, at death’s door, not end up in the care of trained medics? The Sun’s front page says she “refused” to go to hospital:
She began sobbing hysterically but then refused to go to hospital for fear her rock legend dad, organiser of the Live Aid charity concerts, would find out.
Or as a spokesperson for London Ambulance service puts it:
“Following assessment, the patient did not need hospital treatment.”
It really was that bad…
NOTE: The Sun makes mention of its video of Peaches offering a “drug pusher up to £190“. The CPS was called in: “She was questioned under caution but not charged.”
Had Peaches been arrested and jailed for something or other none of this would have happened, and the Sun could say that it saved a celebrity from nearly needing hospital treatment…

Peaches really does have her mothers genes within her.
Watch this space, because this is just the beginning.
Peaches Geldof is going to make Amy Winehouse look like a soft shandy drinking southerner which, in my opinion, is great because there is nothing more the British public like to do than to watch the inevitable meltdown through the auspicious eyes of the tabloids.

I am not saying they are not responsible for their own actions at 19, but even in this day and age, parents are capable of having some influence over their offspring, of whatever age. If we are prepared to incarcerate ordinary people for their kids’ bad behaviour or truancy, why shouldn’t so-called celebrity parents take a bit of stick…? sounds like one rule for them and one for the rest of us to me….

A 19 year old is in charge of their own misdemeanors. The parents can’t be held responsible for their adult offspring surely?
Maybe if he’d beaten her with a big stick when she was young then none of this would have happened? I don’t think so. Some people are just going to go bad I’m afraid….

I always thought that Geldof came over as a pretty good dad, especially after Paula Yates died and he took on Tiger Lily, but in recent years it seems like either he can’t be bothered or is completely incapable of reining in Peaches and Pixie, who behave like the worst sort of rich kid imaginable - great example to the less pampered yoof of today… not
