Peaches Geldof Fired For Nude Photos, Alleged Heroin Use
3:56 pm, March 29th, 2010
Rock royalty and it-girl about town Peaches Geldof has been fired from British underwear brand Ultimo after nude photos of her were leaked online, along with a night of heroin-fueled sexcapades.
Geldof, the daughter Irish musician Sir Bob Geldof, was hired last May as the “face and body” of Ultimo — “a brand geared towards a young female audience.” In a statement on Monday, a spokesperson for Ultimo
“We have been in meetings all morning with regards to the stories that have surfaced over the weekend about Peaches and unfortunately we have no option but to terminate her contract…[As] a company we have a social responsibility to ensure we are promoting only positive role models that young women can aspire to. We are thus in the process of removing Peaches from the website and we are working with Debenhams to remove her visuals from all Miss Ultimo shops and window displays throughout the UK. We’ve given this a lot of thought, but there’s a point where a business must stick to its principles and as a brand that targets young women, we feel it is impossible for Peaches to continue to work with us as the face of Miss Ultimo lingerie.”
As for Geldof, her representatives deny she ever used or injected heroin — but admit that, yes, the photos are of Peaches, though they were taken for “private purposes only.”
[From The Daily Mail]
Last Friday, we heard an either mildly amusing or truly disturbing story of a random hookup that Peaches Geldof (the very stupid 21 year-old daughter of Sir Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates) had with some guy that was visiting her roommate in LA. The guy had a very detailed account of a drunken, drugged-filled night with Peaches along with photographic evidence. The story was pretty funny because Peaches and the guy ended up getting a sauna detox at a Scientology center the next morning. (The guy claims he woke up puking in the sauna.) It was disturbing because he drove wasted and the two were doing heroin, at Peaches’s suggestion. Peaches’s mom, the late British TV personality Paula Yates, died of an accidental heroin overdose ten years ago when she was just 40.
I love how straightforward and matter-of-fact the Ultimo people are about their decision. Often with these type of statements you get only a vague hint at why a spokesperson is dropped, but Ultimo makes it clear that Peaches screwed up and they can’t be associated with that. Peaches is thought to have received a six figure contract with Ultimo back in early 2009.

Night that got her fired and she does look a little under the weather:
PS: the guy with her that leaked the photos looks like a total douche bag.
