Perhaps one of the more tragic deaths on the celebrity circuit in
modern memory. Daughter of the famed Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates,
Peaches was always haunted by her mother’s death when she was just eleven years
old as it would haunt any child. Throughout this torment inside of her she was
thrust into the spotlight at a very young age and for many years ridiculed by
the press and 'normal folk' alike because of her previous wild child status.
Rushing into her first marriage at nineteen only for it to be over just six
months later Peaches over the past few years had almost been portrayed as
someone almost respectable and a shadow of her former self since the birth of
her two children.
The viral debate she had with motor mouth
Katie Hopkins and winning will go down in living memory, it's tragic that it's
because of her passing people really have turned towards her and will turn
towards her for inspiration. Previously she was a wild child, a drug addict
living her youth and overcame that to settle down with her young family and
focus on her career and was slowly gaining wider and wider credibility despite
her addiction to instagram and feeling the need to constantly keep taking
photos. Despite everything she was making a successful career out of herself, even
I at times wished the press would just stop picking on the poor girl.
Personally, I was concerned about her skinny frame. Over the past few years her curves disappeared and she was a walking skeleton, even through pregnancy she was looking skinny and gaunt.
Yes, some of the things she came out with
were silly and sometimes even ill timed, yet those people who mocked her for
saying those things appear to be under the self-belief that they never have nor
will they ever say something silly. The only difference was with her being in
the lime light everybody was there to judge everything she did, said and ate.
Could those people who laughed at her ever imagine have the country watch every
move they make? Twist any tweet or facebook message they can do? Having random
people completely judge you just having never met or spoke to you before just
because of a few silly funny things you've said? Of course not, I mean what
right would they have to judge that person? Peaches was a human being like the
rest of us, sometimes she said some silly things and sometimes she said some
empowering things. More importantly she was a wife, a mother and a
daughter.
You have to think about her two children,
growing up without a mother and wondering would history continue to repeat itself.
I don't personally believe that will happen, after all they will be raised by a
loving father, two loving families...not to mention two very wealthy families
and I've no doubt that despite some struggles they will lead a happy life, one
can only pray for the Geldof family tonight.
