Heath’s Post Mortem Pay-Out?
Although appearing in the infamous 2006 Heath Ledger drug video, a woman has filed a lawsuit as “Jane Doe” against the men who filmed and distributed the footage to Entertainment Tonight. While you can read the entire lawsuit for fraud and invasion of privacy here, it can be summed up at paragraph 25 of the complaint as follows:
In short, employees of Splash drugged Mr. Ledger, a known drug user, and then videotaped him without his consent for the purpose of damaging his reputation and to make money. Plaintiff was also victimized and duped by Defendants so that Defendants could create a story by getting this actor to take drugs and then secretly film him and exploit his illness.
Popsquire’s perspective…
Jane Doe’s attorneys clearly wish to paint her as the victim in a plot to exploit Heath Ledger, but Popsquire sees it differently. By seeking to recover “ill-gotten gains,” Jane Doe really is looking to share in any profits from the video.
If she really was opposed to supplying Ledger with drugs or filming his use, then she could have stepped in at the time and stopped the activities back in 2006. However, she did nothing!
Unless Jane Doe intends to donate any money she gains to charity or a drug rehabilitation center, Popsquire cannot get behind her on this one. She’s nothing but a Karma Chameleon!
