If you’re looking for the Heath Ledger Drug Tape, don’t look to “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider” to play it for you.

The TV show ran promos of the footage, but recently announced they won’t air the tape out of respect for him, his family and his friends after his unexpected passing earlier this month.

In the video Heath talks about his drug use:

“I’m gonna get so much sh*t from my girlfriend,” Ledger said. “We have a baby three months ago (her name is) Matilda, Matilda Rose. I shouldn’t be here at all.”

During another point in the video, Ledger talked about his marijuana habit.

“I used to smoke five joints a day for 20 years,” he said, in a slurred voice.

Sounds like Mr. Ledger was fighting his own battle against drugs.. Soon toxicology reports will tell if that’s what made him lose his life..
