Eli Roth's TL;DR Letter About Peaches Geldof!
Peaches Geldof's boyfriend, actor Eli Roth is pissed about the whole druggie-Scientology-nude photo scandal!
Not at Peaches, but at Ben Mills, the dude who sold the pHOtos!
Roth has penned an open letter to Mills' momma on his official MySpace blog, and it's quite a TL;DR read!
Writes Eli:
To: Meredith Bluett-Mills
From: Eli Roth
Re: Your son BenDear Meredith,
You don't know me, but my name is Eli Roth, and I am the boyfriend of a young woman named Peaches Geldof. Her name might ring a bell, as your son Ben recently wrote a sick, hurtful story about her that is now causing tremendous damage. If you do know Peaches, like many in America you probably know her from the gossip blogs as the daughter of Sir Bob Geldof. However, in the United Kingdom people have been reading her newspaper columns and magazine articles since the time she began writing professionally at age 13. If you lived in England you'd also know her as not just a television presenter and fashion model, but you might have seen one of her three documentaries that aired on British television, the first of which she produced when she was 15 years old. I realize this might be difficult for you to comprehend, as your 23 year old son Ben was expelled from Drew University and so far as I can tell makes a living as an "artist", but Peaches accomplished all of this before the age of 21. Perhaps a need for attention at any cost drove Ben to write such a destructive story, but upon closer examination, I believe there is something much darker at work with your son…..
Your son Ben appears to have a deeply troubled past with women, as internet searches show he was accused of holding a girl hostage at knifepoint in a dorm room, and was then later was accused of witness tampering in the ensuing trial. Whether you choose to believe it or not, your son Ben is a liar. There are photos of Ben drunk with Peaches, and he concocted a racy story which involved them using heroin. I know you are quite familiar with how young adults can be irresponsible when alcohol is involved, as your son Jacob, who is the same age as Peaches, was once arrested for public drunkenness (see #3148). Ben posted his heroin-fueled sex story on a message board and then posted topless photos of them together as "proof," and instantly his story was everywhere.
At first Peaches and I thought nothing of the posting - the story was simply too preposterous. Your son's fairy tale culminates with him dazed and vomiting in a sauna at the Scientology Celebrity center, a place notoriously so high security that no non-member would ever be admitted and left alone, let alone a strung out one. But look closely at the specifics of your son's story: he did not pick a drug associated with sex like ecstasy or cocaine, he chose heroin. Why? Because not only has Peaches openly talked about drug use in her past, her mother tragically died from a heroin overdose when Peaches was young. Ben's story becomes much more salacious if he paints Peaches as heading down a similar path. Peaches does not have a squeaky clean image by any means, in fact, she's known for being brutally honest and open about her past mistakes in life. But she has also worked hard to grow up and overcome her troubled past, and is now drug free. Your son took details from Peaches teenage tabloid stories to make the story more believable, no matter how contrary they are to who she is today. Ben used the most painful events from someone's past to make himself famous, and it worked. It's sociopathic. Imagine if I had a photo of Ben with a knife next to a girl and after some internet research posted a story that he had held yet another girl hostage at knifepoint? What if there were new photos of your son Jacob drunk and someone made up a story about how he was drunk in public again, and the press painted him as an alcoholic? Peaches has worked hard to put her mistakes behind her and show she has grown up, and was doing quite well until this insane story came along, and the British press spun it into front page news. Peaches lawyer immediately came out with a statement categorically denying the heroin accusations, but it was too late, your son had already done the damage.
Your son did not just post a false drug story on a message board. He took a bright, intelligent, incredibly creative young writer and damaged her ability to work until people forget about this or dismiss it as nonsense. Not only has your son's horrible lies now painted Peaches as "dangerous" to many who would potentially hire her, but companies like Ultimo Underwear are using this "scandal" as a reason to fire Peaches by saying that she is not a role model for young girls. And for what? Some psychotic story your son made up that people were all too ready to believe because it fell in line with stories from the past. Stories your son clearly read before he made up that post. He knew exactly what he was writing, the details were far too calculated. And that made it all the more destructive. These stories also send a dangerous message to anyone who has ever made a mistake, that no matter how you change someone can make up a sick story about you and everyone will revert to the worst image of your past.
The instantaneous connectivity of the internet spread this venom to newspapers all over the world, so now I am hoping this letter reaches you through the same medium. The night Ben posted the photos a mutual acquaintance called him and asked him to take down the photos and the story, and Ben's response was "Fuck off," so clearly he was not bothered by what he did at the time. Hopefully someone will notify you through by your Facebook page, your son Jacob's Facebook page, through your daughter Gabriella at Tulane, your twitter page, Jacob's twitter page, or one of your Twitter followers, and my words will ultimately reach you. I would send a copy to your at your Palo Alto address that I got from Jacob's arrest on the internet, but I don't know if you reside at that residence anymore. I would even ask the blogs and newspapers who were more than happy to run rampant with Ben's insane story to reprint my letter in its entirety in the hopes you see it. Maybe by examining the person your son hurt, he would attempt to be more like Peaches and become an artist beyond hanging himself from meat hooks. Ben writes such creative fiction, he could ask Peaches how she got her book deal. Or perhaps like Peaches he could write for newspapers and magazines published around the globe, although even that's getting difficult for Peaches now that your son has painted her as trouble with a hurtful story fabricated around details from a painful past. I hope you or your other children can help Ben realize the damage he has caused to (yet another?) young woman, and teach him how to behave like a human being. Although considering Ben's past history and recent actions, your record as a mother appears spotty at best. Perhaps you are the source of his anger, in which case I hope you both are able to find happiness without damaging other people's lives.
Sincerely,
Eli Roth
Los Angeles, California
Wowsa.

Posh Putting On The Pounds To Get Preggers?
The Biebs Keeps Rollin, Rollin, Rollin
Re: jeezlol – but i do really luvvers CaliTravisFan's response too.
In what kind of phantasy land does this Roth live?
1. no one can be bothered to read all that rubbish
2. If Peaches could read and write why would she need Roth to write for her?
3. In England, every one knows that Peaches is an untalented attention-seeker who lives in the limelight due to her father's name.
Yes she has been offered every kind of job in the public eye, always ending with BS
3. Mr. Roth what on earth are you on? Go get yourself therapy, pronto.
Re: ogz524 –
Vicious but spot on….he thinks she should get the credit for all the opportunities she showed up for but take non of the blame for losing a job because of the naked pictures.
Read the entire letter. Pretty nice at surface level, but still, weren't we all over that already? Seems like he wants to keep his name in the public eye a bit longer by responding to something weeks old at this point. Ultimately did her more harm than good. Also, this from a guy who directs torture porn and is dating someone as gross and age inappropriate as Peaches Geldoff.
So, BASICALLY, this fucking moron is doing THIS:
… Attacking a woman in public for attacking a woman in public.
Hmmmm.
That's awesome that he stood up for her. About time someone stands up in Hollywood.
she was offered all those jobs BECAUSE of who she is, not because she is some talented extraordinary writer. ugh! who cares really!
"I know you are quite familiar with how young adults can be irresponsible when alcohol is involved, as your son Jacob, who is the same age as Peaches"
OMG the guy totally ruined his own reputation. Let's follow the reasoning.
He is saying Peaches, like Jacob is a "young adult". So young in fact, you can appeal to their parents in hope of correcting their behavior. And this sLeazy-perv Eli Roth is having sex with someone THAT young ? Geldorf just turned 21.
The incident took place LESS than a year ago. It's not rational to say that Peaches, who despite his claims, never seemed like the sharpest knife in the drawer (not that THAT stopped old Eli), has changed her ways. In fact she knew the pics were being taken, as well as willingly doped herself up. Where's the letter to Sir Geldorf you coward?
So yeah young Jacob may not be the world's most honorable human being but neither is old cowardly, cradle-robbing Eli.
The cherry that topped the cake was that Eli, no doubt fueled by jealousy, publicly humiliated Jacob's mother, demonstrating AGAIN his low ethical standard.
He should have left it alone and broke up with a young woman who's not terribly bright, but still has some partying years ahead of her, like a lot of young people. Instead the spotlight is now on him as a dirty old man with no conscience.
The part of the letter that stuck out for me is that he dogs Ben for using Peaches' past tabloid behavior to fuel drug rumors and then puts up internet search info up as factual proof of Ben's family's terrible behavior. You can't say, "That's bad information your son is using!" and then essentially use the same resources and expect, despite having written a lengthy letter, that anyone with half a brain can take it seriously.
To be truthful, who cares if she was drunk in the pictures or high on heroin? Obviously, the pictures reflect badly. Most bosses don't go, "Yay, my employee is naked and looking wasted in pictures that have been made public. That's awesome for my company's reputation."
She's responsible for being in the pictures. If you she didn't want them published, she should have destroyed/deleted them. If the guy had taken the pictures without her consent, of course, that's different, but you can't be looking right at the camera and not know that that's going to bite you in the butt later on.
Could'nt make it past paragraph 2! Who really cares about Peaches Geldof anyway? Why is he sending it to the dude's mother? And I have to agree with the other post - she was naked there with the guy - so at the very least something funky was going on that maybe Mr. ive got such a honest awesome girlfriend Roth might take into consideration. He's directing his anger at the wrong person!
WOW …. this guy doth protest WAAAAAY too much… and he ends up sounding like a whinny bitch.
I used to love him, but for the fact that he brought the mother into it and also posted her address all over the web made me lose all respect for him. I deleted him from myspace, where we exchanged several emails back and forth on a regular basis. He is no longer a "cool" guy. That was a douche bag thing to do
Re: gapeachy – Agreed! CaliTravisFan's too good, and Jesse747 is a hoot, too…"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", I add (got Bible inspired, it's religious week, lol)…I took a few hours off the net for a decadent Easter party and looked back in…these "Peaches lovers" are in a hilarious mud pit…who's worse ?: a guy who posts naked girly pics or an old man with a girly protective fantasy…a muddy ship of fools, tatted girly included…lol, too fucking funny trash…
Booooooorrrring. I don't care who this ho is effing. I lves in North America, and Eli Roth is a snore. Suck on these peaches.
I read the whole thing. Quite frankly, my first impression was, "DAMN! I want a man to love me that much, that he would care enough to say anything like that to anyone who f*cked with me." No matter what you think of Peaches, (and I dont know anything about her so I cant say), just the fact that one human being would be that loyal and stick up for someone they really love, thats what I think is cool. Go Eli!
Now, this is a GREAT boyfriend. You should of bothered to read the whole thing Perez.
I got through it, and it was very well done. I believe him.
If Peaches 'began writing professionally' at the age of 13, then Peaches should be perfectly capable of defending herself.
Also, creepy that he wrote someone's mother, dragging a mom into Peaches mess. Actually, why has Roth dragged himself into her mess? If she has a problem with what she believes to be slander of some sort, go to court.
Attacking someone's Mother, who was not involved in any way with this girls "situation", is not cool. If Roth wanted to pick a fight he should have done it with the other guy who screwed his girlfriend, not with the guy's mother.. forgodssakes, what kind of "man" would pick on an innocent old lady, and mention a sister who's behaving well and in college…jeez, pick on the scummy guy who fucked your girlfriend, not on his family…I can't believe some people are saying his act is somehow "romantic"…It might have been romantic if he would have punched out his rival, but sending a letter to a Mom? Yikes, way to weird and super-cowardly…he didn't kick ass, he assaulted an innocent old woman…no romantic hero there…go kick some guy's butt, Mr. Roth, don't bully an old lady…
Re: lol777 – Perhaps he'd much rather tangle with someone's old mother than the actual guy. Lol. This missive just looks like P.R. damage control to me, and is intended for the internet.
uhm… no i didn't. it's too f***ing long. o_O It's sweet that he's trying to defend her honor/public image, but most people in England don't give a crap about her… the general public finds her to be an annoying spoilt brat that is famous due to her "privileged circumstances" and in recent years for her wild-obnoxious antics. Shit is finally catching up to her.
Eli, nice gesture nonetheless…
Re: sleezy*e –
lolz… well said!
Eli Roth sounds like he's in Love.
I'm not team peaches or team ben, but no matter what, I still think its disgusting that someone would take photos of a naked chick and then post it on the internet. For what? All Ben has proven is that he he can't be trusted with women and cameras and the internet.
He's protesting too much. She's got him by the balls. Duh.
I would give anything to have a man who loved, respected and believed in me as much as that…congrats Peaches! after a sad and rocky road, it seems you finally get your happily ever after…
I looked on his My Space Blog and didn't see this. Is it for real or a hoax? If it's real, the guy is trying to get to Ben any way possible, so why not thru mum? Ben isn't very gentlemanly for posting the pix. And, Eli's smitten (or a very protective friend). If it's a hoax…whatever. Remember kids, the internet is the bathroom wall of the new millenium!
Hmmm yes… Eli… Peaches… I can't get my head around them being together yet.
The only reason Peaches has achieved all that shit is because of her dad though…
Honest to God…America is welcome to this precocious daddys girl.
Despite his little rant about all her accomplishments…really…I am completely unaware of any of them…oh apart for her canny knack of getting busted by the papers buying drugs…seems she was quite good at that!!
Please god keep her!
Love the letter!!
TL;DR
I read all of it. Although this letter is well written, it kind of misses the basic point… I mean, yeah maybe she wasn't doing heroin but she was drunk or high on something and she posed topless and had sex with a man who wasn't her boyfriend and then had those pictures spread all over the internet. So yeah, she had an obligation as a role model and she blew it. Her fault, not anybody else's.
In the UK, Peaches is like our version of Lindsay Lohan. She must of told this poor man that she is in the highest regard over here, and sadly he has believed her. Peaches has had a few jobs over here, with a newspaper and a couple of TV shows of late. Geldolf is a household name over here and I am sure that has helped her along the way, as a lot of her ventures have been quite bad. Her sister Pixie has a much better reputation and I wish that we could focus more on her than Peaches. The photo's did not come as surprise to us Brits as I do believe that she has posed nude for paparazzi before on a beach, and has had a overdose at the age of 18. Sir Bob must be proud.
I didn't read the wholr thing because it's as boring as shit. Poor Eli is in some hard denial. She was "writing professionaly at 13", blah blah? Hilarious! She's an overrated, spoiled , dumpy, fat crackwhore and we all know it.
Only read the first bit. And I really liked Eli Roth. But since he and his girlfriend has gone public, he's been going a bit insane. :s
She needs to fight her own battles. Him doing it for her is bullshit. If she wasn't really using heroin that night then SHE should come out and say it. Not her current boyfriend. The fact is she allowed those pictures to be taken knowing full-well the risk that they could be leaked. You're damn right she's not a role model for little girls.
Excellent letter. I hope it helps.
Wow, is anyone else getting the psycho stalker vibe from Eli?? I mean, back it down man. You basically insult his Mother (same way Ben insulted your little crack ho), then continue to "threaten" her entire family by posting how you know where they live, what there names are, what online accounts they have. You may be trying to make a point about being able to find out info about people from the internet, but you're coming across as a nut. I'd imagine there will be a restraining order filed against Eli in … 3 … 2 … 1
Oh … and perhaps Eli missed the fact where he actually has the naked pictures of her. He didn't pull them from the internet, she was actually there.
pompeous bastard this guy W.O.W
well at least we now know that eli roth is as big of a tool as his junkie girlfriend. go back to jacking off to torture, eli. nobody wants to read your endless letters. LOSER.
awee and she's a scientologist…..there is a reason it's outlawed in the UK
"incredibly creative"…I'm already on the floor doubled up with laughter. I think I smell a rehab attempt at her reputation here. I would tend to believe that the kid who was photographed with her told the truth. And of course it was a disaster for her. She needs to mind who she "gets drunk" with or whatever.
Fuck him. He's dating a trashy/nasty looser.
got about halfway through it. he must be really into her. shame shes such a little brat
Re: Unbelievable! – Right on…Eli Roth sounds like a psycho stalker…and it is SO NOT COOL to post private things about people who have done nothing wrong (like the sister's college and the poor old mom)…way creepy, stalker, abusive, threatening…to innocent people.
I read the whole thing, I feel bad for Eli, hopefully Ben and his family will get their lives in check!
I have known Ben for 12 years. I do not approve what he did but,
He is telling the truth! Eli Please accept the offer from Ben for a cage match
fight.It would be a hoot.
The ultimate tragedy here is that Peaches can't even pull off Heroin Chic.
Re: Rynne – U R so correct!
yes i did.
I am seriously gonna kick her a** if hes standing up for her and all and she actually did take drugs!
he deserves better!
Re: saagua – The common sense award goes to…saagua.
I really don`t understand why celebrities always make up apologies for their behaviour. So Peaches took heroin, who cares? If she has pictures taken naked in bed with a creepy guy…who cares? I like the letter its written really intelligent. Wondering though, how one person can put that much effort in stalking down the whole family. Giving the blame to the mum…that has no style at all dude, if you really want to make a change you should talk to the dirtbag who sold the pictures. But I guess he wouldn`t care since he is probably totally high from the money he got for those ugly pics.
like others i only skimmed the first para…….note 2 the dude who wrote that crap…..im frm london england and i only no ur girlfriend (cnt even rite er name!! makes me sick) as a spoilt little rich kid, who if her dad wasnt famous would probly b on the dole…..coz it aint talent that gt her all them job, ohhh no it was daddy……and bein a media whore!!!
Impressive, he must really love her. I read the letter in its entirity. WOW. I just saw the first paragraph and then scrolled down to several..I am glad someone is willing to speak up for her when no one else has. I don't know much of her…I read an article on her maybe a year ago in Nylon and she seemed rather interesting. Hopefully this scumbag can release an apology
Gotta love a guy that sticks up for his woman!
i adore eli roth, and he seems absolutley bessoted with her, but from what i know from living in scotland and reading about her in papers, magazines or watching her on itv2 etc she seems a bit of a .. how shall i put this without sounding brash? a bit of a fanny.
i don't buy her innocence.
not for a minute.
