Pete Doherty's manager James Mullord has denied accusations that it was he who sold that mobile phone footage of Kate Moss snorting the white stuff to the Daily Mirror. Mullord says he's received texts and phone calls accusing him of selling the film, and thinks it was Miranda Davis - Mick Jones' wife - who made the original allegations. He said: "I would never have done this to Pete or Kate. I have done nothing but look after that guy for two years. I considered Pete the closest person on the planet other than my mother. I helped get him out of prison. I helped get him over drugs. It wasn't me. This has totally ruined my career working with Pete. I don't know what will happen."
Speculation abounds that one of the fourteen people who were in the recording studio that night was indeed paid £50,000 to take the footage and the same amount again upon delivery, but Mullord says he has nothing like that amount of money and also claims that he turned £200k from a tabloid to talk about Doherty and Moss since those events. "I have earned quite well over the past two years," he says "but I don't have anything like £100,000 in the bank and I know if I had this video it was worth a million. I wouldn't have done it. I spent a couple of days in England after the story broke trying to get to the bottom of it, so I was a bit surprised when I was in Paris to find myself being accused of it."
