Heath Ledger’s Secret Past of Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Surprise, surprise.
It looks like Heath Ledger had secretly battled drug and alcohol abuse for quite some time.
In March 2006 – just weeks after the couple walked the Oscars red carpet and when daughter Matilda was only five months old – Williams drove Ledger to Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, California, the confidant tells Us Weekly.
Ledger refused to check in, instead swaying her with a pledge to clean up.
Even after the couple realized “they were in way over their heads,” according to a source, and split in September 2007, two sources tell Us that Williams demanded Ledger be drug-tested before his visitations with Matilda.
Oh, Heath. You’ll be missed.
