Mary-Kate Olsen was never interviewed by police regarding her involvement in the death of actor Heath Ledger, despite the fact that Ledger’s masseuse bizarrely alerted Olsen of Ledger’s lifeless body before she called the police, and the fact that Olsen’s bodyguards may have arrived at Ledger’s apartment three minutes before paramedics did. Now, the New York Post reports that federal drug agents are trying to get Olsen to cooperate in their investigation into how Ledger managed to finagle a bottle of the painkiller Oxycotin—also known as “hillbilly heroin”—but that Olsen is refusing to talk unless she’s granted immunity from prosecution.

Ledger, who died after accidentally overdosing on a cocktail of prescription drugs, had prescriptions for all the pills from two physicians except for the Oxycotin. One possible theory for Olsen’s refusal to talk to the cops is that Ledger’s masseuse called Olsen after discovering her name on the bottle of Oxycotin, prompting the diminutive actress to dispatch her bodyguards to the scene to clean up any evidence. (Olsen’s people never actually called the police themselves, which doesn’t particularly help her case.)

The Post has called for Olsen to be interviewed ever since the NYPD denied the paper’s scoop that the former Full House star received a series of frantic calls from the masseuse. “We confirmed this story with an impeccable source inside the NYPD, and we stand by our reporting,” the paper’s editor Col Allan said in the aftermath, adding, “we find it odd that the chiefs at the NYPD appear to be terrified of 4-foot 11 inch, 90-pound Mary Kate Olsen.” (In a separate editorial, Andrea Peyser claimed to be “astonished” that the “Teflon midget” has been given a free pass.) Given the paper’s thirst for justice in this matter, is it any surprise that the feds leaked them the story? Could M-K be the victim of a vicious case of press harassment because a paper blew a scoop? Whether her refusal to talk without immunity is simply her lawyer’s call, or if it’s because she is actually hiding something, remains to be seen.
