Pete Doherty kicked a reporter - Mar 24, 2020
Pete Doherty lashed out and kicked a reporter following a court appearance yesterday (23.03.06). The troubled rocker climbed onto a wall and launched into a series of karate-style kicks after admitting drugs charges at London’s Thames Magistrates’ Court.

As he lashed out, he hit Radio 1 Newsbeat reporter Trudi Barber in the arm. The Babyshambles frontman also screamed at the 50-strong crowd of reporters and photographers: "What are you doing that for?" The star - who was wearing his trademark trilby hat with a grey suit - then hopped into his Jaguar and sped away.

Before his outburst, Doherty - who used to date supermodel Kate Moss - had admitted seven charges of possessing heroin, cannabis and crack cocaine. The 26-year-old - who is already on probation for previous drug offences and is subject to a rehabilitation order - was arrested after he was found with illegal narcotics last December and again in January. He will be sentenced on April 20th. Judge Jane McIvor warned the star "all options" remain open as far as the sentence is concerned.

Pete shocked a journalist by offering him heroin - Mar 22, 2020
Pete Doherty shocked a journalist by offering him heroin during an interview. The Babyshambles frontman - who used to date supermodel Kate Moss, and is renowned for his heavy drug use - offered the shock scribe the class A substance before beginning to chat.

Rolling Stone contributor Mark Binelli wrote: "Doherty kicked off the Q&A by snorting some heroin. "Over the next three hours, Doherty will also smoke crack, shoot heroin and take an ’ecstasy’ pill. He offers me heroin and ecstasy but not crack. I decline. "The more drugs Doherty does, the more he seems to relax. He never becomes incoherent, though occasionally he seems confused."

Meanwhile, the troubled rocker has blamed his celebrity status for his drug addiction. Doherty - who was sentenced to a 12-month community order and a drug rehabilitation programme last month after a drug possession conviction - maintains he will stay clean with an anti-heroin implant. He said: "If I was not famous then I would not have the extremes, the corruptness and fortune that led me there in the first place. "I’m not going to make light of the fact that I’ve been given a great chance, and take crack and heroin. "But I want to start a drugs-free life. I wasn’t much of a junkie anyway."

Biography

It’s hard to believe that just a couple of years ago we didn’t even know who Pete Doherty was now that not a day goes by when another entry to the PD catalogue of disasters is published in the tabloids.

A long and drawn out battle with drugs, an especially fiery relationship with Croydon’s favourite daughter and any number of bust ups and arrests has made the singer/songwriter one of Britain’s most recognisable faces (all be it a screwed up, sweaty zombie face).

Born on March 12 1979 in Hexham, Northumberland and living at various times in Liverpool, Shepherd’s Bush, Coventry, Dorset, Cyprus and Russia, Pete Doherty first came to the public’s attention as one half of the singing songwriting duo who fronted Britain’s must see band, The Libertines, who kick started the country’s new garage rock scene in 2002/03.

Debauched backstage shenanigans and frantic but brilliant shows saw The Libertines hit the headlines time and time again and their debut album, Up The Bracket, shot up the charts. However, the band’s success was to be short lived and numerous problems, between Pete and the rest of the band (specifically with best friend Carl Barat - the pair met when they became flatmates in Stoke Newington) saw them part ways but not before Pete hit the headlines for drink and drug problems which caused him to steal from his bandmates to feed his habit.

It was around this time that Lisa Moorish gave birth to Doherty’s child, Astile but, rather than settling down Pete carried on taking heroin, selling his ’My Drug Hell’ stories to any and every tabloid to pay for his out of control habit before being put in to several rehab clinics (including a Thai monastery), none of which have changed his ways.

Nonetheless he has managed to forge a career on his own, first working with Wolfman on For Lovers then forming Babyshambles, initially as a way to make money for.you guessed it! Now trying to get clean with the aid of Naltroxene after an arrest for assault, which resulted in some jail time as well as a curfew and constant supervision Pete is reportedly set to marry supermodel Kate Moss.
