Doherty Wants Drug Footage Blocked

Pete Doherty is taking legal action to stop footage featuring his drug use from being broadcast on British television.

Doherty is seeking an injunction to stop BBC Channel 4 from broadcasting footage of him smoking heroin while on tour with The Libertines. The footage, shot by Max Carlish, already led to an altercation between Doherty and the filmmaker in a hotel that ended in Doherty’s arrest on charges of robbery and blackmail in February (read full story). The charges against him were eventually blocked.

Doherty claims the footage isn’t owned by Carlish, but his management company. Channel 4 is still banking on broadcasting the footage of Doherty’s heroin habit, which, at this point is the world’s worst-kept drug addiction since Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain’s flirtation with horse in the early ’90s
