Disturbing Video of Heath Ledger at a Drug Party

I'm deleting the bookmarks for any website that insists on exhibiting this video. Haven't you read the comments on other sites that did, and the reaction by the public to the disgusting people who are seeking to profit from it? I'm deleting you now. bye.

It is really disgusting how people go sneaking around with cameras (it looks like this idiot is hiding in a closet or behind something to get this footage) to capture images of people in private moments. Who gives a rats ass if he was partying! BFD - it is not like almost everyone who sees this or has seen it has not done something that others would not agree with.

The video is really not that exciting. Big whoop.

My God we know he did drugs.

Let the man rest in peace.

I agree, Joan, it is disgusting how they filmed him like that.

I am at work, so I couldn' watch the entire thing, but does it show him at any point taking drugs? All I could see was him drinking a beer.

It was a little disturbing though, and I hope for his family's sake his death was not drug related. But no matter what, its a tragedy. Bad things happen to good people every day.

THis has nothing to do with his death. Even if it di so what. How many rock stars politicians buissnesman did not do this at his age. THey just lived.

Not you too Socialitelife.com. Not you too Lisa.

So not cool to post this video...

It's still sad, no matter what ultimately killed him.

As someone who has battled a 27 year addiction to pain killers and experienced first hand the horror of addiction, I have to say that this is in poor taste. I love your site, you all are so incredibly funny, and the whole purpose here is to poke fun at the celeb lifestyle, but I hope you take this video down. This was obviously a young man who was in a lot of inner pain and was a very gifted actor and a loving father. Yes he lived his life in the spotlight, but there is a big difference here between Britney's midnight 7-11 runs for cheetos in her P.J.'s and her obvious public cry for attention and Heath Ledger's demise from a personal battle that ended his life. I stopped going to Perez Hilton's website after he just crossed the line way too many times, and while I realize we're not talking about brain surgery here, I still think that a certain level of decency is called for in this case. I hope you do the right thing.

I can't understand for the most part what they're even saying in this video. He seems to be drinking a beer, not using any drugs. I could make out the part about "We had a baby...." Kind of a boring video! Just more evidence he was a druggie.... Wouldn't be a bit surprised if his death turns out to have been drug-related.

I don't think it's a huge deal for ASL to post this video. If it were anyone else like brad renfro or someone who we all knew did drugs it wouldn't be a big deal. Let people decide for themselves if they wanna play it or not. I THANK ASL for posting the full video... Entertainment tonight edited it like crazy and it looked like it was all drugs and heath talking about getting in trouble throughout the whole thing... It wasn't like that at all it was laid back pretty much uneventful.

It would have been just as effective to write about this without posting the video.

please, please. let him rest in peace. everyone has a past. leave him and his family be. don't you realize that things like this just tear at their fresh wound from his death? he should be remembered for the good that he has done, not for the mistakes he has made. it sickens me that you continue to post these. what happened to the stand on silence that you made on the day of his death?!?!

The posting of this video only illustrates that, behind the wonderful humor and banter found on this page, you are just as tacky and tasteless Perez. Shame on you ASL, pathetic!!!!!

awww....man. i thought i knew ASL well enough to know this video wouldn't be posted here. none of you, even the love-able mr. prieve, would arbitrarily post this, but i need some help with the 'why'. here's hoping it's not just to boost the comment numbers.

He doesn't appear to even be taking drugs in this. Sounds like someone got video a long time ago and pulled now to try and make some cash of it. When really it's nothing. He's at a party with other people doing drugs and drinking a beer, that's all. It's a crappy video too, looks like the guy is behind a couch. He's dead, let his family rest.

Didn't click on it. Won't click on it. Also not acknowledging any news about Britney Spears until bloggers and gossip columnists realize what a faker she is. Supply and demand? Well, I don't demand, so don't supply.

What is the point to this video? So we can see that a man who is famous smoked pot? We heared from many sources that Heath Ledger had a drug issue. Whether his death was intentional or accidental, does it matter that he talked about doing drugs at a party two years ago? I just why this is interesting? The man is dead, he's dead, gone...who cares if he smoked pot? This video is sneaky not to mention, boring.

I agree with all of the above who have a problem with this being shown. It's sick that someone shot this w/out his knowledge and sick that it's being shown. Some people say that we go on these sites b/c we enjoy the "destruction" of celebrities and so we have no business being outraged by something like this. I, and I would bet a lot of others, go on sites like this to see what's going on w/celebrities and a lot of times to laugh at them, sure. Not to see that a 28-year-old who died tragically was at a party 2 years ago where people were doing coke and maybe he was, too. It doesn't matter and the fact is, he's dead. Leave it alone.

p.s. - I just wanted to comment. I'm not watching that video.

It appears as if this takes place in one of the ground-level Bungalows of the Chateau, and some paparazzo is standing outside of a window filming this. Pretty low...

Also, all I see is Heath drinking beer, big deal. It's hard to understand what they're saying, but it seems that Heath is holding a handful of pot at some point, saying that this is a 'reminder' for him, cause he USED TO smoke 5 joints a day. He's never shown actually using any drugs.

In fact, this video seems to DISPROVE that Heath was doing drugs, nothing shocking about it.

what has Buzznet done to you? RIP ASL

Wow. I'm pissed, ASL. I have to ditto on every comment here criticizing your choice to put this vid up.

There IS a limit to what the audience can take. We've been bombarded with false stories, lies, rumors and god knows, everything else since Heath Ledger died. We saw his, for lack of better word, widow numbly exiting a vehicle at her home. We saw his child, smiling without a clue, to the world. We've read the statements of his family and friends. I think many of us have done so, because we felt so incredibly unsettled by his untimely death and needed some kind of answer to our questions. But the media goes too far, in so many instances. This is a classic example of going too far. He was flesh and bone. He laughed, he cried, he hurt, he missed, he loved. His survivors tune into the same internet as those who didn't know him.

It's all too much, already. Take the vid down. Not only does it demean the media in general, it casts a desperate and filthy light upon this site. A site I really enjoy coming to, and one that I kept in my personal bookmarks when I ditched several others because of their coldness and repeated instances of spitting on the line of decency. Do something for someone else, regardless of what it costs you - which is nothing.

You can describe the vid without showing it, and you should know already - serious doubt has come into play that this vid is even authentic.

I'm sorry Heath was at such a boring ass party... coke chatter and sycophants... a total waste of time.

As someone who was truely devastated by the passing of Heath Ledger.. I didn't find this video disturbing at all.. YES, I agree that taping this and selling for profit was absolutely wrong and disgusting.. But, now that he is gone I LOVED seeing him and hearing him talk openly.. You can really see the REAL Heath.. quiet, softspoken.. he is concerned about michelle being upset and talks about the baby.. He's not one of the LOUD mouth, nasty, arrogant Hollywood types.. You can tell that he was honestly a GREAT guy.. My heart goes out to Michelle and his family.. thank you for posting this video!

This is so rediculous. First, to the people that "hate" the video, "hate" the paparazzi, and the blogging world of sites that post such atrocities...you searched for it. Just like the rest of us did, because we're inquisitive by nature. It's human. Second, we search for it as a search for closure to an untimely death of a beloved character, and I say character for how many of us really knew Heath at all? I didn't. Third, I agree that paparazzi go way too far. However, If we as a society stopped worrying about what all the famous people do we could proably end world hunger, stop the war in Iraq, and build a world of toelrance and humility. Instead we put all of our energy into finding out why Heath died, or why Britney shaved her stupid little head. Wake up people. Wake up!
To the shameless person who not only took this video without the knowledge of the people in it, but then sold it to the media...you should be imprisoned! Like the sneaking, peeping tom that you are! I'm ashamed to say that I too searched for this video...as a fan, I just had to know...but it's all really hogwash, isn't it? Heath died because it was his time to die. One can speculate for days and that's all it will be...speculation. For his family's sake, I hope they truly understand what Heath gave to the world in that of a jovial, kind, and beautiful person that makes us all hopeful. For that I can only thank him. RIP HEATH.

But am I blind or he doesn't appear sniffing anything?
he is having a drink, smoking cigarretes...he's probably drunk or something and his face by the end of the video is weird, but he's not doing anything wrong...

this is such a disgusting situation that the people had him over their hotel bedrooms and he was there, telling peorsonal stuff and talking as a regular person while a son of a bitch was trying to get him doing something wrong and now, that son of a bitch is making money with such a sad and "normal" thing in their lives.
Is is sad that now we have all lost a great talent and actor and it is sad how he lost the control of his own life...it's sad how he probably couldn't trust people.
that's why...

I wish this person a lot of pain.

Did he even do drugs in the video? He talks about how he no longer smokes pot as he drinks beer, but does he actually do any blow? It was too long and boring to watch, so I kept fast-forwarding. I don't think he was actually seen doing anything.

Splash News sucks and should be cited for sending one of their videographers onto private property to tape people who weren't aware of it. It's an invasion of privacy. A lot of stuff goes on behind closed doors -- a zillion times worse than a couple people doing blow. This is a joke.

If this were a black actor, and a video like this came out after he died he wouldn't get as much sympathy as Heath is getting. Let's be real here, if it were a black guy, everyone would have been talking mad shit and nobody would have found it tasteless. If you don't agree, then you have major issues. And the video damn sure wouldn't have gotten pulled from media outlets and news broadcastings. Just stating the facts.

Just wanted to say thanks for taking the video down. I din't watch it and was disgusted last night when I watched ET. They capitalized "HE WAS DEAD 2 years later" while showing his body being taken away in a body bag.

Now they are saying they won't show the whole video. Big fucking deal! Last night was enough to condemn him.

Rest in Peace Heath.

I wonder if Heath knew he was being photographed. At one point in the beginning he looks towards the direction of the camera. Maybe that's why he didn't partake.

My guess is that a paparazzo took this video years ago, but it looked boring and there didn't seem tO have much value in it.
But in the wake of his death, and the circumstances around it, it's suddenly ten times more interesting, and he sold it and found a ready buyer.

Only think I made about is the person that actually recorded the video. It's SICK!!!

This video is pretty much pointless. Its not like he was doing drugs he was just talking to some friends who happened to be doing stuff he wasn't. Maybe the media will realize that celebrities are humans too and they are allowed to go to parties just like everyone else

he was a junkie, everyone is trying to sugar coat this shit, get over it!

er... they'd be pretty bad entertainment reporters if they didn't report the news. And you're pretty big morons if you are a reader of this blog and are condemning them for posting news about a top story. It isn't tacky anymore tacky or tasteless than any other kind of GOSSIP. If you don't like reading GOSSIP then don't seek out GOSSIP.

Disgusting. His family hasn't even buried him, he left a small daughter fatherless and all these blogs and media care about is hits and ratings. Pathetic! Let his soul rest in peace for chrissakes!

I hope the scum bags that sold this video are at the Chateau as I write this email. I hope they used all the money they got to buy more drugs. I hope they are all knee deep in cocaine and heroine. I hope they do the world a favor and overdose.

THIS IS NOT NEWS! This is slander and thoughtless and opportunistic. The poor man hasn't even been buried yet! The toxicology reports are not even back yet! He has a little girl out there who's going to grow up and read all this smack about her dad, the dad she'll NEVER know. ALL of these media outlets need to back off and learn some decorum - And this includes the major networks which have become just as bad as the tabloids. You should all be ashamed of yourselves...Pathetic and sickening.

So what'snew? Don't alot of these Hollywood types do drugs? The same way they kill people in the projects or poor neighbourhoods is the same way these rich Hollywood types will die. Drugs kill, plain and simple. They don't discriminate either. RIP Heath.

IT IS SICK THAT PEOPLE ARE EXPLOITING HEATH AFTER HIS DEATH TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF THIS TRAGEDY.
WHO EVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!

ok, since i was one of the 'upset' ones (much more disappointed than upset), i'll be one of the first to say thanks. it was decent of you to at least take it off the front page. i still don't like that it's after the jump, but hey, when i run my own site, i'll make that call. in the meantime, you guys do a terrific job.

Its really low for anyone to put that video on a website. He has past away and the least you can do is let him rest in peace. So what about his past, nobody is perfect and his case he was a intelligent human being and I love all of his movies.

I haven't watched the video but it's not shocking to me. Not saying he was a bad person none of us really knew him. How many people in Hollywood use drugs? Too many and these are the people we idolize. I am sorry that we lost a great talent however, lets face reality people. There's no telling what he was doing behind closed doors. He was just an ordinary man with more money, that's all. Stop making such a huge fuss about life's dramas. Face it none of us are perfect and Heath wasn't perfect either. I think the media has gotten tooo out of hand anyway they take this type of crap and run with it. If you all stopped caring about the personal lives of these people this sort of mud dragging would not exist.

i cant see the video. but seriously why is everyone acting like heath is there dad or something. Perth is really boring and desolate not suprised he took drugs, this site has every right to show the video i cant see, why not, dont get so righteous ppl

It is a bit hypocritical that people are so outraged about this video. I'm tickled that celebrity blog enthusiasts are so concerned about a so-called right to privacy (how much privacy can be expected at a party in full view of other party goers?). I never see this much outrage over unflattering pictures of celebrities taken in similar situations, without their knowledge. What's different about this situation is that Ledger has become a tragic hero in the public's mind, and like the public is wont to do with the the characters developed in the tabloids, they are weaving a story about him (one that is based less on truth and more on a fundamental human narrative). And the truth is that he was a drug addict who made bad decisions which probably led to his death. And there's a lesson in there for a lot of people, if we're willing to confront this uncomfortable fact that doesn't fit so well into the story we want to tell.
And ASL is right -- this is newsworthy, if sad and uncomfortable. So are the images of coffins coming home from Iraq. Fully confronting the truth of uncomfortable things can lead to positive change.

No Shame. Anything to show more crappy ads!!!!

I agree with Monique - I too am deleting your bookmark and not returning. One too many douche moments to stomach. But then any gossip blogger is by definition a "douche" and so are people like me who visit them. This was a wake up call to me.

"What is the point to this video? So we can see that a man who is famous smoked pot?" asked commenter Disbelief.

Change the word man to woman and you have a description of various Paris Hilton videos that have been shown on every blog site including this one, with zero controversy. So what's the difference here: that Heath Ledger is dead, possibly due in part to drug use? If Paris were to drop dead tomorrow, would we all be expected to forget we've all made fun of her here for years?

I'm going to take the unpopular view and say that any footage of a celebrity using drugs is always considered newsworthy to sites like ASL. If people want to say that Ledger needs to be treated with kid gloves because he's now dead, I can't agree with that. Heath Ledger was not Gandhi, he wasn't Mother Teresa, he had no special qualities that I know of other than being a guy who made movies. If this story really upsets any of you that much, celebrities have too big a role in your lives.

i love the see heath even if he doing drugs!so u guys shut the fuck up!!loser!!!what is done is done so!!!

Some of you are real hypocrites. You come to a blog looking for sweetness and light entertainment? Give mea break. If you want to see Heath deified go to a freaking fan site.

The man was a druggie, who obviously didn't care enough about his only child to stop his selfish habit. The first year a child goes through so many transformations that they sometimes change on a daily basis. And this fuck face was in a drug house enjoying himself. What a prick I have even less respect for him. Death doesn't make a person any less an ass.

5 joints a day for 20years?????
Sounds like a load of crap. At 5 years of age, I bet the worst thing he did was sneak junk food from the cabinets.

it is no different reading it than seeing it. you all come on here everyday to read about celebrities and their life, good and bad. you laugh about their failures because it makes you feel better because if you were in their position "i would never do that!" but none of you will ever be famous and its us (yes i will include myself) that provide the need for the paps to hound these guys to the grave.
yes heath was a stoner. we all know that. its pretty obvious. 99% of hollywood is drugged up on something. illegal or not.
if you dont like the video dont click on it. its that simple people. control your hand and dont click on it. others might want to watch with the same morbid facination that compels people to slow down and drive past car wrecks slowly. thats ok... thats them. and heaven forbid, you all probably clicked on the anna nicole link where she was painted like a clown and talking to a doll as if it was her daughter.
half of you a hypocrites.

I hardly think the Chateau Marmont could be considered a "drug house".

sorry for the numerous posts everyone. my computer is a tard today.

I wish everyone would leave the poor bloke alone and let him have some dignity in death. I bet the majority of the people reporting his "drug use" in the media are much harder users than anyone else out there...

Bullshit he was wiping the coke on his teeth and grinding his jaw he definitely was doing coke right then and there. Yeah it's sad but I also think he's nothing more than a dickhead for pissing his life away and doing what he did to that woman and his child. He broke their hearts a million times over. He's not a hero.

Whoa. I'm usually one of the people who make fun of Britney, Paris, and the like.

But this was seriously low, and not needed. Lisa, I think it was good of you to move the video, but all in all, I think it should have been removed altogether, out of respect for the dead, and his family.

I'm sorry guys, but after a year and a half of this being my favorite site, I'm going to have to say goodbye. Later ASL.

its funny how everyone who is "so disturbed" by this footage makes about 90% of the comments on this website. if its so disturbing-dont watch it

I too am going to take the the unpopular route, and say that I see no wrong if this site posted the video.
Its an interesting bit of morals and integrity that it was taken down, but some of you need to get your head on straight.

Firstly, I havent seen the video. Heath wasnt one of my favorite actors. In his death, I wasnt disturbed. I felt of course bad, but nothing to put me off in anyway.

Its very clear that Heath Ledger did drugs.
Paris Hilton does drugs too. I have to completely agree with Chaz. If Paris Hilton died tommorow, are you going to say that she asked for it by doing any kind of drug?
Then fine, Heath Ledger was asking for it.

Why is it disgusting that any of these sites are posting it? By taking it down, it shows that ASL really does listen to what we as readers have to say.
Britney Spears dies tommorow. A day later a video is shown of her injecting something into herself. That video will generate views like all hell get out. And nobody will sympathize.

You come to this site for gossip and celebrity-related news. If everyother site posted it, you shouldve expected it here.

There isn't anything wrong with the video.All he talks about is his tattoos and baby.Nothing shocking. ET made is sound 10 x worse. Since it was a " drug" party I imagine he probably did do some drugs. Just leave the man alone

OMG this is so lame. Now, if he hadnt just recently passed away from suspected drug overdosing, would this video have even aired? Its really pathetic to see the losers that pour out of the woodwork when tragedy strikes. filthy frickin vultures is all they are.

I cannot understand why all the bitter comments against ASL for showing this video. Some of us sees this site, even though it is a gossip site as a medium to be updated about issues concerning celebrities and their life style.

We are entitled to knwo the truth I suppose, If HEATH was actually doing drugs, then it is no big deal to show it. Afterall, some people could learn from the picture what it (drug) is all about.

ASL, though the majority of the commentators are against you, I think I find this exposure quite informative and it will discourage me from ever doing drug. THANK YOU. Though I couldn't view the video 'cos it seems you have already removed it from the site. AGAIN THANK YOU.

Let's not canonize Heath Ledger. 28 year olds don't just die like that. Of course he took drugs. He had his demons. That doesn't take from the fact that he was a gifted actor.

The real tragedy lies in the fact that whatever was eating him blinded him to the fact of how lucky he was to have such a beautiful daughter and girlfriend. He chose his party lifestyle over them. Maybe if he'd lived, in time he'd have worked out his problems. Who knows. It's a tragic waste of life.

I don't particularly feel that ASL were wrong to post up this video. I haven't watched it because I chose not to. We all have that choice.

Where did the video go?

Where did the video go? You mentioned u were putting it after the jump but i dont see where thats at. I am really interested myself to actually see what the whole stink of this video is about.

HYPOCRITES!

of course he was around drugs cause he was a FUCKING CELEBRITY. If youre famous, chances are you are going to be around drugs and at partys with drugs, from time to time. I'm a fuckin 19 year old kid and I go to parties all the time and most of them have either weed or coke or other shit going around. That's NOT unusual and it also doesnt mean that i'm on all this shit just because i've been at places where its around. Its really not a big deal whatsoever that he was at a party w some drugs, and i GUARENTEE you it wasnt the first time this CELEBRITY was at a party that had drugs. Either some people are fucking retarded or the media just acts like people care.

why don't you all quit being a bunch of pussies and if you don't want to read about Heath doing drugs, get your fucking face away from the Heath stories ... and if you don't want to watch him do coke, don't watch the video. Jesus fucking christ ... you're a bunch of fucking pussies. He's dead, he doesn't care ... and neither do I.

Why is everyone so amazed and angry at ASL for posting this... as if they are any more respectable or dignified than any other gossip site?

What I find hypocritical is how ASL rags on the tabloids and paparazzi and other gossip sites for hounding celebs, etc.... when they do the exact same thing. It's what this site IS, people. This is not like an actual news source. Jesus.

The link for the video can be found on several of the comment pages of various articles here at ASL.

So yeah.... they really "took it down," didn't they?

Where did the video go?

I didn't see the video and I certainly hope his daughter never does either. I just cannot believe that actor etc. get no privacy. I'm sure there is things in everyones lives that no one wants displayed for the whole world to see. I have 2 children myself and I would be humilated if they knew some of the things I've done in my past
