He once turned up to a party in Courtney Love's hotel room with a hat full of cats. I think this is a known story
I wonder where they the same cats.

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 wonder where they the same cats.I was in my late teens when Moss and Doherty were an item. Thought Moss was the coolest person to ever grace the planet and couldn’t understand why she would want to be with someone who looked like they stank of piss and stale alcohol.
I look back and am even more non-plussed, especially given the stories that have come out about him since. Vile creature.

Actually now cats have been mentioned I think I remember seeing a documentary on him years ago it’s when Astelle was just a young child and if I’m remembering right he had cats roaming around his flat, the place was very messy and he was as messy almost always smoking and I’m pretty sure he was using during the documentary. He came across as very articulate and intelligent. A lot of these famous heroin users remind me of the people who idealise William Burroughs ‘Naked Lunch’. I tried reading it but I just couldn’t get the jist of it at all.
Jesus christ, how can you just turn up to a party with a hat full of cats?!He once turned up to a party in Courtney Love's hotel room with a hat full of cats. I think this is a known story
It must have been a top hat and I can imagine he pirouetted into the room and produced the top hat from behind his back with a flourish and a TaDa and upon seeing the kitties Courtney Love purred like a catJesus christ, how can you just turn up to a party with a hat full of cats?!

Big hat, small cats. But he wasn't wearing it! I never thought to wonder how he got there carrying a hat of cats.I can only imagine the scenes caused by bring a hat full of cats into a hotelIt was a top hat
Back in the Pete and Kate era I was working at stansted airport when they walked past me to get to a boarding gate. Kate was beautiful and tiny so much smaller than I imagined her. Pete on the other hand looked like a walking ghost pale sweaty and a ridiculous swagger, he looked me dead in the eye winked and smirked. I was so confused didn’t know if I felt violated or quite cool I was only 17/18 at the time
I was only 17/18 at the timeI was about 19/20 when the Libertines were big. I saw them when they first started getting famous in the early 2000's for about £3 a ticket in Newcastle. The NME's press photographer was there and thought I was from the press too, so I had access all areas that night. My friend was obsessed with Pete. We went to his flat in London a couple of times. One night he invited loads of people over for a party and my friend was sick on his living room carpet. There is a picture somewhere on the internet of her puking and him holding the bucket to catch her sick. 
The last time I saw him back in 2004 on New Years Eve when he did four gigs in one night. The last gig of the night was in Manchester and I was convinced he wouldn't turn up. It was about 4am and I said to my friend 'look he aint coming, he's probably off his face on drugs somewhere and got lost halfway down the motorway'. Little did I know he was stood right behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. He ended up singing for around an hour and then left. Me and my friend chased after him and chatted to him for about half an hour before he got into a taxi and I never saw him again. Partly because I went off to Uni and my friend soon saw the error of her ways. I love the Libertines first album but it got too much about Pete and the drugs time and time again. It all got very boring after a while.

So she ended up being a groupie for the Paddingtons (remember them?). I think she thought she was more than that and it really ducked her up being in that scene. Her wealthy parents flew her off to rehab for drugs and anorexia.
I ended up with an eating disorder and borderline alcoholic (was drink rather than drugs for me).
I cringe looking back.

I know the general consensus on here is he's a no-good junkie but I am a huge fan of his music and if you ever read or watch interviews with him, or even read his lyrics, you can tell he's a very intelligent person. IDK about all those rumors of him leaving people to overdose though, that's pretty horrible if true :/
Yes he is very intelligent but some people have witnessed him doing rather unsavoury things. What do you think of manner in which Mark Blanco died?
honestly I don't know enough about it to comment but i'm gonna do some research now!
Ive just read a couple of articles and it all seems so suspect to me, that’s why I’m interested in people who’ve met him and how they’ve seen him behave.
I once went to see Babyshambles, Christ it was a shambles. It had to be rescheduled as he got arrested then the second time, we waited for over an hour, they come on stage. Pete was arguing with Kate on his phone so disappeared again. Finally come back out, sang a couple of songs and passed out on the stage. They were chucking water and everything over him to revive him. We walked out in disgust, I honestly would have put money on him being dead by the end of the year. I’ve seen The Libertines twice since and I must say they were excellent, now I’ve read all of this about Pete, I don’t think I’ll be seeing them again.
There are people in my Circle of friends who don't hate him quite as much as me and say they miss the weird tit he'd do but at the same time back in the day he'd turn up and they'd leave so You just knew it was going to be a disaster if he was around.and sometimes it literally was a disaster. If I saw him on the street I'd walk passed him without so much as a nod. Being a smart and articulate person just doesn't excuse the things he's done to people. Being on drugs does to a certain extent but it gets to a point where that excuse runs out of steam too.

Aside from my friend I mentioned, he was rude and chaotic and forgetting things from the papers..first hand experience only: I saw him kick someone down the stairs once. I was off my head, admittedly but remember being frozen still from the shock of seeing it. He went to smack a friend of mine when she told him to piss off at a party once. He's stolen from mates of mine, when I strongly believe he had no need to at the time. Using syringes on front of young, impressionable people. He wrote in blood on the walls of a flat someone I knew was renting. He wasn't even supposed to be there, he just turned up. I rarely hung around if he was there but if I did, I never saw the night end with out a row or some violent/bloody behaviour. Just. Ugh. Gross. Yes he had those classic moments that you might read in a book about a rolling stone or whatever, like turning up at parties with cats in hats or handing out sliced pans at north london gigs and I laugh as I think of them but it doesn't tip the scales in his favour. Part of me would like to think he's calmed down and living a happier life now and that those in his life experience a much calmer version of him. I really hope he has changed.

Does anyone have any tea on Petes children are they in school college etc and has he had much to do with them.I hope they are doing well with or without his help.
He's often seen driving his van with his phone to his ear and his dog in front. He hasn't changed much, still a twit and will never change.
