the now dead down under actor Heath Ledger was described as a “drug addict” and “a known drug user” in a major lawsuit in Los Angeles.
The hunky motion picture star, who sadly passed away this last January from an overdose of prescription drugs, is named in the lawsuit about a scandalous video where he was filmed snorting coke and even discussing his criminal narcotics habits as part of a controversial sting by paparazzi.
This specific legal action was launched by a north american news reporter who along with their attorneys is suing the big (and i mean big) Los Angeles based paparazzi agency ‘Splash News’ over this sting, which was photographed in her room at the Hollywood hotel Chateau Marmont on the same night that he won an award for his performance as a homosexual cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.

Further, this filing alleges the pair secretly set up a camera on the balcony outside of the said hotel room prior to plying the actor with various narcotics and filming part of the 7-hour criminal coke binge through the open window there.

His ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins and 2 of her kids, including her son with the rapper, were among 6 individuals hospitalized following a major fire that wiped out the house. All 6 of them are in stable condition at the time of the statement in question.

All in all, Fiddy bought it in January 2007 for $1.4 million and the previous month had attempted to evict Tompkins unless she came up with some $4,500 a month in rent payments. Tompkins meanwhile has filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the rapper (birth name:Curtis Jackson), stating that he had previously pledged to put the house under her name.
In addition to this, the fire in question occured literally days following a deposition that turned heated and spilled out onto the streets of New york City.
At this point, the rapper is not a suspect, but the investigation is nonetheless ongoing. mtv.co.uk however is reporting that his ex-girlfriend is accusing him of the crime. The website report went on to quote her:
““He tried to kill me and his own child.” Fifty Cent was given the right to evict Tompkins and his own kid from the house 2 months ago by the court.
After much criticism he told a United States radio station: “I haven’t dealt with her since 2003…. She ain’t had a job, she ain’t done nothing”. I am not saying that he is a criminal, but his behavior is somewhat similiar to that of a criminal type. In any case, it is a far cry from his Los Angeles/Hollywood (Hollyweird) persona in my hubmble but hones opinion. In his movie he was pertrayed as so family oriented and true to his girl. He said something to the effect of ‘nobody messes with my family’. Yeah, sure kid.
