The singer has faced epic personal battles, despite career success.Now she faces court.
Troubled singer Kate DeAraugo – who until recently seemed to be getting her life back on track – could be facing up to 15 years’ jail on drug charges.
Family and friends were left devastated after the former Australian Idol, platinum selling solo artist and Young Divas singer was allegedly busted with the drug ice and a cache of weapons by police in Shepparton, Victoria.
‘It’s very, very sad because she’s a beautiful young woman with an incredible gift,’ says music manager Tony South well, who gave her a job as a backing singer earlier this year. ‘She’s had a really tough time, but I thought she was over all that stuff. This is awful.’
According to a report in The Shepparton News, Kate – who has confessed to battling depression, drug and weight issues in the past – was allegedly found in possession of methamphetamine, known as ‘ice’, twice in five days.
