Now Peaches Geldof wears 'racist' Confederate flag to Hollywood party

Fancy dress? Peaches Geldof wears the controversial Confederate flag as she and her friends step out in West Hollywood in Los Angeles


Peaches Geldof risked accusations of insensitivity last night as she wore a T-shirt bearing the Confederate flag to a party in Hollywood.

The southern flag is considered by many to be an overt symbol of racism because of its links to slavery, and its use is banned in many schools.

It was used by the Confederate States of America, which supported slavery, during the American civil war from 1861 to 1865.

But a smiling Peaches was perhaps unaware of the symbolism associated with her shirt.

The 21-year-old teamed it with a studded dog collar, padlock necklace and a pistol charm for the bash, which appeared to be fancy dress.

Her friends wore equally outlandish, although less controversial, outfits.

Updating her fans on Twitter, Peaches wrote: 'God Hollywood boulevard is a s*** show at night.'

And it sounded like her evening out was eventful.

She tweeted: '@jujuSorelli just flashed me and @JonnyMakeup a boob through the window of the restaurant & a group of little kids here saw.

'One is crying.'

Peaches splits her time between the U.S. and London, but since beginning dating director Eli Roth, 37, two months ago has been mostly based in Los Angeles.

She is currently trying to kickstart her career after American artist Ben Mills posted naked pictures of her in the net, claiming to have had a heroin-fuelled one-night stand - which Peaches' lawyer strenuously denied.

After losing her lucrative contract with lingerie manufacturer Ultimo, she posed in new shots for her friend Mark Hunter's Los Angeles vintage store The Cobra Snake.

But it's unlikely to land her a payday anywhere near her reported £100,000-a-year contract for Miss Ultimo.
