Mary-Kate Olsen’s Lawyer Speaks Out

Mary-Kate Olsen’s lawyer has spoken out publicly about MK’s request for immunity regarding Heath Ledger’s death and its current investigation.

“Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger’s home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them,” Michael C. Miller said in a statement to People today. “Regarding the government’s investigation, at Ms. Olsen’s request, we have provided the government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger’s death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed.”

As for MK’s role in Heath’s acquisition of drugs, Miller says he has no idea where the media got their information: “We don’t know the source of the information being quoted in the media regarding the government’s inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate.”

The statement does not confirm or deny MK’s request for immunity. But if there’ no reason for concern, such a request isn’t needed. It’s such a shame that the tabloids are focusing on this–it really seems like they are making some huge about something small for no reason.
