The Strange, Twisted World Of Peaches Geldof

Peaches' public activities in March and April 2014

After February’s mad social whirl, Peaches’ workload was very light in March and April. I wonder whether there were no more suitable events for her to go to, or maybe there were some but she was not invited or didn’t want to go.

March 13th Top Dog TV programme

Peaches and Parper took part for Comic Relief:



April 3rd F & F fashion show awards

“Here is the last believed footage of the beautiful star who was found tragically dead at her home in Kent. Posing for photographers on Thursday night at the F&F Fashion Show, Peaches looked her usual glamorous self. Pouting and posing only for a couple of minutes however, the fashionista didn't hang around for long and looked to be almost forcing a smile for the cameras.”

I too think that she looks unhappy in all the pictures of her at this event, including video footage where she is just going through the motions. I can't load it but the video can be seen here:

The girls’ night out picture revisited

This picture is in the timeline, where it was attributed to Friday April 4th.

Here is what I said about it on the CC forum:

It was seeing pictures of Kate Middleton that looked odd and another poster said were photoshopped that made me realise that there was something weird about Peaches' torso. Two pictures for comparison:



Captions from the DM:

"Still wild: One of the last pictures Peaches Geldof posted on Twitter was during a girls night out at London's Hakkasan restaurant last week. She looked extremely slender as she sipped a cocktail"

"In this picture, from Saturday April 5, Peaches enjoys a drink with friends"

So who took the girls' night out picture, and when? Who made the changes, and when and why? It may have been posted on Twitter on April 5th but that does not necessarily mean it was taken on that day – wasn't she at home that weekend?

Fifi Brown is on the right. She has been friends with Peaches since 2006. They have been to many fashion and music events together. She is not mentioned at all in the Peaches thread on the DIF.

I think we should look at it logically. How many times did the details of her death change? And when you look at what was reported, and what was said at the Inquest, does it all follow properly, or is it all inconsistent nonsense? That would be a good way to start, I suspect.

It is all rather overwhelming.

I prefer to use pictures that were widely published where possible. The dates are usually correct and they are less likely to vanish. The DM is a good source, and the Hakkasan picture came from there. I have not seen any comments about obvious photoshopping, which seems strange.

Peaches did enhance many of the pictures she posted.

Peaches’ weight in 2011

I think that Peaches looked much better before she lost a lot of weight. She looked healthy and blooming.

A reminder of the old Peaches, in 2010 with Eli Roth:



Another picture from London Fashion Week in September 2011:



So when did the dramatic weight loss start?

The earliest picture I could find of the new Peaches was from the Net-a-Porter event on July 15th 2011:



This article suggests that it started in March:

“When Peaches Geldof showed off a svelte new look recently, we barely recognised her.
Famous for her hedonistic lifestyle, the socialite stepped out at Net-a-Porter’s Dolce & Gabbana party 
at London’s Westfield shopping centre in a sparkly gown that clung to her slim figure.

Peaches, 22, is thought to have 
shed 1½st since March, dropping from 10st to 8½st. But the 5ft 7in star has defended her weight loss, insisting she’s still eating sensibly.”

So what happened? There may be a clue in this sequence of events:

Peaches returned to the UK from the US in December 2010. She is said to have started dating Thomas Cohen in December 2010 or January 2011. They became engaged in May or June 2011. Astala was born in April 2012.

Your hunches are often right!

A lot was happening in 2011: in addition to losing weight, Kate Midddleton got married.

I think I have some material about Peaches and Amy somewhere.

Cover story for a collapse

Peaches was inventing cover stories years before the weight loss.

There was an incident in July 2008 that I posted about on the CC Forum:

“Peaches Geldof's recent collapse was caused by her accidentally inhaling ammonia fumes from hair dye, according to the Daily Star.

Paramedics rushed to the socialite's London home last weekend to find her unconscious from a suspected drug overdose. The 19-year-old reportedly urged the ambulance crew not to tell anyone about the incident for fear of the news leaking to the tabloids.

However, the star's agent denied that the collapse was drug-related, stating that Geldof forgot to open the window when she dyed her hair. Andy Varley said: ’Peaches has made a full recovery from the minor incident reported in yesterday’s papers. After attending last night's Batman premiere in Leicester Square, she is looking forward to work as usual today.’”

www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/news/a114278/geldof-collapse-down-to-hair-dye/

I said this at the time, and it is still relevant:

“Surely no hair dye is this lethal? Would it be permitted to be on sale? There are many pictures of and references to her visits to hairdressing salons online too, so would she do her hair herself?”

A cover story for marks on the skin - and the weight loss is again attributed to dieting

I found another old post about Peaches’ excuses, in which I copied this from an article published in September 2011:

“Peaches Geldof has angrily denied suggestions that her recent weight loss was the result of drug abuse and insisted the marks on her skin were caused by psoriasis.

‘I’m not on drugs. If people feel the need to validate my weight loss by saying I’m on drugs then shame on them,’ Peaches told the Sunday Mirror. ‘I’ve changed my diet and the way I live. That’s it. The marks on my arms have been there since childhood. Check any picture – it’s caused by a skin condition called psoriasis.’

Her mother, Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose in 2000 and she has been consistently warned off the drug by her father, Bob Geldof, who has expressed concerns about her party lifestyle in the past.

Peaches insisted she was now living much more healthily and that was why she had got slimmer. ‘My mum was thin naturally, like I am now. So is my sister Pixie. I was eating so badly before now and then I stopped and it has fallen off,’ she added. ‘The truth is I just didn’t want to treat my body badly anymore.’”

I don’t believe the psoriasis story. Many commenters said that she was unrecognisable at this event in September 2011, and they did not believe Peaches’ insistence that dieting or healthy eating was the cause of her drastic weight loss:

Coincidently I saw a film last night which seemed to have thematised this too:

The film was called "Die Legende von Paul und Paula" ("The legend of Paul and Paula") and it was produced in the GDR in the 70s:
The main protagonists are Paul and Paula who don't feel good about their life:

Paul is unhappily married to a women who is unfaithul to him and he not only lives together with her and their son but also her annoying parents who he does not like.
Paula seemes to have it even worse: Even though she is still young she is aready the single mother of two children from two different fathers (both born out of wedlock). She has an underclass job which she hates and she has to live in an old rundown flat. She is wondering if she should marry a certain elder man who is into her because even though she does not find him to be attractive he could provide her and her children with a better life.
Then Paul and Paula meet (for the second time) and fall in love. But it isn't easy because Paul is married and after Paula's son is killed by a car she breaks up with Paul. But Paul doesn't give up: He leaves his wife and is able to persuade Paula to get back with him and Paul moves in with Paula.
Near the end of the movie Paula talks to her doctor (who looks almost exactly like Joseph Mengele) and tells him how happy she is. She tells him that she is together with her love and that she is expecting a child. Paula's two previous births have already not been easy and the doctor tells her that her body won't be able to survive a third birth. He also mentiones that philosophers would tell her something which I have unfortunally forgotten. Something like that no person can be completely happy. Paula asks the doctor: "Can I not have a baby with the one man I love?" and she also asks her doctor if she doesn't have a slight chance, just a very slight chance that she will survive the birth. The doctor replies that this (that she has absolutely no chance) can't be said. So Paula decides to not abort the baby. In the following scene Paula runs happily through the streets and as she runs down under a bridge (or into an underground tube station) a voice can be heard to tell the viewer "Paula has not survived the birth of the child."
In the last scene of the movie Paul is lying in Paula's old bed together with his son from the previous marriage, Paulas daughter from another man and a younger boy which is clearly the baby of Paul and Paula and all three of them look very peaceful.

I told you this because right when Paula was very happy she had to die and she wasn't allowed to raise the child of the man she loved together with him.
The irony is that at the beginning of the movie Paul and Paula meet each other and this is happening shortly before Paul meets his first wife and also shortly before Paula becomes pregnant with her second child. But they are just passing by each other and politely greeting each other like strangers. If they would have gotten together back then they could have been happy and Paula would have survived because it was her third child that killed her not her second.

The scene where they meet for the first time but don't care for each other (or at least not Paula for Paul) can be scene in the following video from 2:04 on:

Two limpets: just a coincidence

We have seen that 2011 was a significant year for both Peaches and Kate Middleton. We have seen photoshopped pictures of Peaches and Kate in which their torsos look odd.

This is another Geldof/Middleton coincidence, this time involving Peaches’ mother Paula:

“At 21, the Boomtown Rats singer was a pin-up and she was determined to catch him. The other bandmates referred to Paula as "the limpet" for the obsessive way in which she pursued her man.“

www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/469188/I-feel-her-watching-over-me-Tragic-tale-of-Peaches-lost-mother-Paula-Yates

“While the Queen and Prince Charles, both of whom are said to like Kate immensely, are said to be sad but supportive of William's decision, Prince Harry is known to have had sympathy with those of William's friends who dubbed Kate "the limpet".

"Harry has always felt Kate enjoyed her fame-by association a little too much, unlike his own girlfriend, Chelsy," said a source.”

Peaches and a new career in attachment parenting

Another old post:

Did many avenues close for Peaches, so that being an authority on babies seemed like the best bet and way forward for a new career and a way of retaining interest and attention from fans and followers and the media?

There are many comments online about Peaches’ general lack of talent and her unsuitability for and lack of success in many of the roles that she tried on. They seem to me to be mostly reasonable evaluations as opposed to spiteful criticisms by mean-spirited and jealous people.

This comment summarises what many people thought of her:

“ no talent whatsoever but very big opinions of herself. She has nil talent, and yet she has money, jobs, status and opportunity lavished upon her. “

The Ian Watkins connection theory

Several posters thought that there might be a connection between Peaches’ death and her Tweeting of the names of women in the Ian Watkins case. One said:

“I'm still of the opinion that she was somehow tricked or lured back onto heroin by someone close to Watkins, it's only a hunch, I know but I just can't shake the feeling.“

Some people dismiss this idea because Peaches didn't reveal anything or expose anyone: she just passed on some names that she found online, on a Welsh court website.

They have a point: she found the information in the public domain.

However, it is also relevant that many of Peaches' Twitter followers might not otherwise have seen those names. She could have been punished for publicising them so widely, to her more than 200,000 followers. Just a thought.

Her Twitter page is still there by the way. The Tweets are protected, but there is a picture of the two boys in blue and orange, colours that have been featured in a few threads.

Peaches had a narrow escape in 2009

Another old post, generated from another poster’s theory:

“Speaking of patterns, seems like celebrities who die have a ‘brush with death’ in an accident beforehand.”

This was certainly true in Peaches’ case:

“Peaches Geldof narrowly escaped serious injury after being involved in a 'full on car crash' last night.
The socialite was on her way to Disneyland in California with four friends when the driver's foot slipped on the pedals, sending the car out of control and into a 360 degree spin on the freeway.

Only minutes before the 20-year-old had boasted on Twitter that she was: 'Speeding like I have never, ever witnessed before on the freeway - feel like I'm in a scary car chase video game.'”

Peaches treated her car accident as a bit of a joke and continued on her way to Disneyland:



This comment was prophetic:

“Foolish girl-- if she's lucky enough to live past her 20's, she'll look back on this and cringe at what an idiot she was. Let's hope she learns that life is precious before it's too late.”

Forensic team in protective clothing saved the rubbish

Posters on the old forum questioned the presence of these men; a sniffer dog was also brought in.

People thought it odd that they were present at a time when the police said the death was non-suspicious. And why were they taking rubbish from the bins and stashing it?

I guessed that the regular police called them in 'just in case', as a celebrity, a known wild-child, had died. I guessed that wearing protective clothing is standard practice, and that taking domestic rubbish to a safe place where it will not be disposed of is done as a precaution, just in case it will be needed.
