Just a few hours ago, I wrote about the first excerpts from this week’s Life & Style cover story – they got an interview with Angelina’s old drug dealer in New York. I questioned the cover lines, which were all about a “video” that would OF COURSE lead to the destruction of Brangelina. Well, now Life & Style is clarifying a bit, although the story is still kind of crazy. The “video” that proves Angelina was cracked-out on cocaine and heroin, proving the dealer’s story (never mind that Jolie has admitted to everything already)? Well, it’s Jolie’s appearance on Charlie Rose back in 2000. That’s the video proof. That’s the evidence that will destroy Brangelina!
Angelina Jolie may be a UN Goodwill Ambassador and mother of six now, but 10 years ago she got high before appearing on a talk show. In a new revelation, Angelina’s former drug dealer, Franklin Meyer, opens up to Life & Style and reveals that the Hollywood icon used to do heroin and cocaine with him in his drug den at the Chelsea hotel and at her place in the Ansonia in New York City.
Meyer says the starlet was on drugs during her Jan. 14, 2000, appearance on a talk show.
“She was at my place. I was filming her and she’d taken coke,” Meyer tells Life & Style. “She went directly to do The Charlie Rose Show.”
And his story certainly seems accurate. A 24-year-old Angelina went on the show to promote her new film Girl, Interrupted. During the interview, she’s shy and spacey, stumbles and stutters over her words, rambles on about her tattoos and is very fidgety. At one point during the interview, she becomes overly excited when discussing how hard it was to let go of her characters Gia, (from the film of the same name), and Lisa, in Girl, Interrupted, and apologizes as she accidentally hits the microphone hooked to her chest. And Angelina didn’t go home and sleep off her binge after she finished. Meyer says, “She did the show, then she came back over!”

I put the video below – she does seem fidgety and like she’s uncomfortable and perhaps on something. But it also reminds me of nearly every television interview from that time period – Angelina used to give notoriously bad television interviews, and it’s an art she’s had to learn over the years. Honestly, in this video, she seems like she’s baked, not coked up.
