Meet Johnny Headlock — real name Jonathan Jeannevol. This guy has claimed for four years to be part of Pete Doherty’s security team, which is bullshit because Pete Doherty cannot even afford a lone bodyguard, let alone a team. The likely explanation for Johnny’s ubiquitous presence is that he’s one of Pete’s dealers, but it looks like this guy might be going away on a prison vacation.
In early December 2006, we first brought you the story of the so-called “death flat” party. Located at the apartment of Paul Roundhill, the party was attended by Pete Doherty, among others, and ended with the death of Mark Bianco after he fell from an apartment balcony. Several months later, Dr Andrew Reid, the coroner who previously had ruled Bianco’s death as a suicide, has asked London Metropolitan Police to reopen an investigation into Bianco’s death. This development arrived during an inquest, in which the coroner learned that Johnny Headlock confessed to pushing Bianco over the balcony railing:
[Johnny] said he pushed Mark, 30, after he had been pestering Doherty — but later withdrew his confession, saying: “I was off my head.”
Other evidence included CCTV of Babyshambles star Doherty, 28, running past the dying man without stopping to help — before medics showed up.
And there was a TESTIMONY several people, including Jeannevol, were heard running on stairs in the flat complex just before the fall.
Sozzled Blanco had been asked to leave a party in a second-floor flat in Whitechapel, London. He returned and two minutes later is seen on CCTV plunging to the street below.
A few weeks after the Bianco’s death, Pete Doherty oddly returned to the flat and recorded video footage of a new song he wrote — “The Lost Art Of Murder” — which appears on Babyshambles newest album, Shotter’s Nation. On the video, Doherty seems a bit troubled and briefly mentions “suspicious deaths” that haunt the apartment, which is an obvious reference to Bianco’s death.
Johnny Headlock is quite a shady character and has sold stories to magazines and tabloids about famous people he’s brushed up against, and he’s been known to help journalists locate Doherty for interviews. Most recently, he told News Of The World about his “coke-fuelled bedroom romp” with Amy Winehouse:
Johnny, 27, said: “She was wild. I didn’t know about her other lovers at the time.
“She went for hours and couldn’t get enough. We must have gone through five or six different positions. She liked being on top.
“She made a lot of noise and loved being spanked on her a***. It was really rock ‘n’roll.“
Supposedly, this sex romp occurred in November 2006 and shortly before Winehouse reunited with her current husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. The pair met through mutual friend Doherty and ended up at a party while Amy was jetlagged:
“She was tired. I offered her some coke to perk her up but she refused. Maybe she was jet-lagged or something.
“I was like ‘f*** that man, let’s s***.’ I went upstairs and finally she got the hint and came to bed. She wanted me to strip for her.
“I was wearing Spider-Man pants and she thought they were wicked. In fact she took them and kept them as a souvenir.
“She looked stunning then, curvy and sexy. It was incredible. Before she took her clothes off I was praying her t**s looked as great in the flesh as I imagined they would. And they really were spot on.”
I wonder how much Johnny gets paid to sell these stories to the press. Not only did he get to screw Amy Winehouse before she devolved from a voluputous skank into an emaciated skank, but he also got to make money from the whole thing. What a guy! Johnny Headlock is often referred to as Doherty’s “minder” or “guardian.” Now, he just might need a minder of his own.
