Peaches Geldof is in trouble again, after an expensive London store accused her of stealing a dress – but her spokesman insists she did pay for the item. Staff at Victim in London called Peaches’ management after noticing that a £500 dress she’d been browsing had gone missing. According to the store, Peaches returned with the dress shortly afterwards to apologise. “She said sorry and that it was a misunderstanding, but the dress is ruined,” says a source. "She said the dress had got caught up in her scarf and because it was the same colour she didn't realise she had it in her arms. Her assistant arrived on Friday afternoon with the money for the dress. The dress is worth £500, but we charged £250." However, the store manager, Nazinna Douglas, is a bit angrier about the whole hoo-ha. “She can get everything she wants for free,” she fumed. “To her taking a dress means nothing but it's not something we take lightly. This is our livelihood. It's just not fair."

However, Peaches’ camp tell a different story. “The claim is totally incorrect,” says her spokesman. “Peaches has a receipt for the supposed stolen dress. It was an honest mistake at the time and Peaches went back to the store having been told the dress was missing. The payment was made on Friday because the store's credit card machine was not working on Thursday. She most definitely has not been shoplifting and nothing has been reported to the police." In October 2006, Peaches was accused of taking a coat from Urban Outfitters, which she later went back and paid for. Hmmm…
