I honestly think he didn't know the full extent of what awaited him there...he ran out of the pub in the direction of that location, acting really silly. I really wish he had just gone home, but had no idea where he was going. in the press Paul Ro claimed he was a 'friend' but they assaulted him at the very least, and admitted to it. He was a lovely kind really innocent type guy in many ways, not that streetwise and a bit posh so easily led or bullied by wrong uns I'd imagine. Why hasn't DCI Dunn been struck off for negligence? It's all so so sad. Pete should feel intense shame for his part in this awful situation.

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

I wanted to add that Marks watch was missing when he was at the hospital, and in the CCTV Pete picks something up from the floor/Mark (not quite clear to be sure) but I'll bet he pinched his watch, it was worth about £600. Also why hasn't the woman with Pete when they legged it been willing to make a public statement?
I wondered why there wasn't any speculation as to what that was. A watch wouldn't come off a wrist with a fall though. Could he have picked up something that fell out his pocket? Had Mark taken something from someone that they wanted back at any cost? Why didn't Pete explain his actions there?
There's a comment upthread that 'Pete did it'. If anyone knows anything that allows them to assert such a thing they should go to the police. If they don't, they shouldn't be making statements like that. This is murder or manslaughter, not backstage goss.
Mark wouldn't have taken something off them, He was drunk etc and I'm sure they were harassing him out, but when he tried to come back in they must have put him over after assaulting him. That's what the forensics points to. I hope the truth comes out.
Another thing on the Blanco front, who called the ambulance for him? Usually they can release the tapes for that publicly and they are all recorded? The hospital was mere metres away. How could someone see him lying there and not call 999?
I think she did didn’t she? On the documentary it said a girl either left or went outside to speak on the phone and she said they had to call an ambulance? Assuming she gave them a heads up so they could run away or hide anything illegal
You mean the chick that ran off with Pete? You'd think they would release the tape of the 999 call. What an awful situation these girls were embroiled in. No doubt thought it was cool to hang out in a crack den with a rock star, (god knows why)...It's not their fault but they need to help the police solve it properly...horrendous.
Were toxicology reports spoken about or reported at all so we know? Because I’d bet my bottom dollar that Mark wasn’t just pissed. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he was mixed up in all what they were doing but it doesn’t suit the narrative that the documentary was trying to get across..
He wasn't a heroin or crack addict or even occasional user (of smoking/ injecting class As) as far as I knew. (Of course I could be wrong but I'm an ex- addict from years before I knew him and would have noticed I think) It's not like you have a sign written on your forehead saying it, especially in the early stages of addiction though.
I knew he drank and maybe a bit of sniff recreationally, but he was not a hardcore muggy like those lot. It showed he was drunk and nothing more on the toxicology which makes sense to me personally.
Do you believe the Female witness account @Discombobby
I don't know. I was not there. All I can say is what I know about Mark. I don't want to discredit anyone's witness statement, so yeah I really can't say for sure. I just can't believe someone didn't put him over.
There's an article in the DM today that I'm too much of a luddite to know how to attach but the main takeaway from it is that Pete says he hasn't watched the documentary, has nothing to add and because she's lost her son he has to understand if taking it out on him makes her feel better. Katia angry about it and seeking legal advice.
The Daily Mail article is a paraphrasing of a puff piece in the Evening Standard magazine ES.

Peter Doherty: ‘There’s no miracle story to addiction, it’s for life’
In a global exclusive interview with ES Magazine, Peter Doherty talks drug addiction, Russell Brand, murder allegations – and cheese
Looking at the photoshoot for the articles i must say he wore the junkie look better
I saw the Mail article, the bit about his wife seeking legal advice seemed a bit odd. The doc was named after a placard Mark's Mum used in a protest outside one of Pete's gigs. It was insensitive to call it that but I don't see what's illegal about it. I understand she must be upset by the whole thing too, so I guess she's being supportive in saying that. But it sounds like the way he spoke about it, he hopes it will just go away.
Don't encourage him, haha. He's got the type of face thats so round that it will have multiple chins as soon as you hit vaguely normal weight.
Despite all the Blanco stuff, I do wish Pete well and am glad to see he's clean. I do believe it as well. His wife seems really good for him.

Having thought about it, if he's clean maybe he could do the right thing by people who have suffered through his actions, direct or indirect. Isn't that part of AA? I feel such conflicted emotions between recovery understanding and how he acted before.

Did I dream it or did someone quote this on the Russell Brand documentary? I heard this exact anecdote recently and just read it again now.His reply to my GCSE a comment was ‘who needs GCSES when you can marry a rockstar’ I was slightly scared and asked if my friends could come onto the tourbus too
Russell brand thread
The wife has some movie coming out, an ode to PD ,loads of unseen footage apparently, she's into film making maybe she wasn't happy about the timing of the Mark Blanco programme. She was treated for cancer just before covid maybe that gave him the kick up the a he needed
Bizarrely he was beautiful as a bag head. He looks like a large French farmer now.
His being alive and healthy is a very lovely plot twist. I didn't think he'd see out the noughties.
