Cokehead Kate

This is from an AP story today, titled Kate Moss Acknowledges Drug Use:

Supermodel Kate Moss acknowledged to the Hennes & Mauritz clothing chain that tabloid allegations she recently used cocaine are true, an H&M spokeswoman said.

Moss, who is to model one of H&M's upcoming clothing lines, apologized for her drug use and promised in writing to abide by a company policy that models be "healthy, wholesome and sound," spokeswoman Liv Asarnoj said.

Blah blah blah.

Now here’s the thing. This is the cover of the Daily Mirror last week:


The image is a still from a video that apparently shows her doing 5 lines of blow in 40 minutes. Cripes.

I could write an entire post on how this story is sadly indicative of the fading sense of responsibility anyone seems to have toward owning up to their mistakes unless they get busted so hardcore it’s impossible to deny, but I think anyone who swings this way is clever enough to discern the roots of my disgust without any further exposition.
