A friend and collaborator of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman is talking about how the Oscar-winner was supposedly being blackmailed regarding his addiction.
According to the Daily Mail, Shalom Auslander, the friend in question, writes about the blackmail in his new book, Feh: A Memoir. Auslander and Hoffman first met when Hoffman was looking to adapt one of Auslander’s books.
Auslander says that prior to Hoffman’s death a news site was threatening to expose details about his drug use if he didn’t agree to an interview.
