LONDON (Reuters) - A documentary is set to show footage of British supermodel Kate Moss which Sky One says shows her snorting cocaine, as the furor over her alleged drug taking which cost her lucrative advertising deals refuses to go away.
Moss has been embroiled in scandal since The Mirror tabloid newspaper printed grainy pictures two weeks ago that apparently showed the 31-year-old taking drugs.
British retailer Burberry and Swedish-based fashion house Hennes & Mauritz responded by cutting their contracts with the model and France's Chanel said it would not renew her contract when it expires next month.
Moss released a statement apologizing to friends, family and business associates for her behavior.
Sky One said its documentary "Kate Moss: Fashion Victim?" would provide a balanced debate over the role of the media and the fashion industry and ask whether Moss could continue her career.
"The documentary aims to paint an honest picture of the landscape that formed the backdrop to the saga and in a worldwide exclusive, features video footage of the widely-reported incident involving Moss and her self-confessed heroin addict boyfriend, Pete Doherty," Sky said.
Moss, who has a two-year-old daughter, was discovered by a modeling agency as a 14-year-old schoolgirl and her waifish good looks have graced the covers of countless magazines.
Although her statement made no specific reference to the Mirror report, she said she took full responsibility for her actions.
"I also accept that there are various personal issues that I need to address and have started taking the difficult, yet necessary, steps to resolve them," she said.
Her agent Sarah Doukas said Moss was "gutted, absolutely devastated," when she heard about the Mirror report.
"I read it over the phone to her and the avalanche started almost immediately," Doukas told the Times, in an interview granted at Moss' behest.
Doukas said her client had left Britain for the time being, and that despite recent career setbacks, she was about to sign a new deal with an unnamed perfume company.
The Sky One documentary will be shown on October 3.
What kind of idiot snorts cocaine.
"What kind of idiot snorts cocaine."
Now........... *T-H-A-T* was..... GOOD!
A lot of people do stupid things, that said this may just save
her life.
Models doing drugs?!? I'm shocked, just shocked.
I think we have the new Vonnage ad.
I've had a couple of minutes to think about this.
Kate has been the center of attention since she exploded on the fasion scene.
She has always been portrayed as a bit odd. Her personna, as it were.
Maybe, Kate wants out, and this was the only way to get her handlers to dump her??
If she keeps doing that, she will never gain any weight!
She doesn't look like a waif, she looks like a skeleton. I will never understand how the emaciated look became so "fashionable."
Are you familiar with the worshipping 'ana' phenomena?http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2001-07-24-anorexia-sites.htm
How else is a girl going to keep her emaciated figure.
Yep,
I posted the site during the last Kate Moss discussion.
Very depressing.
Well,As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls
A stoned Moss gathers no roles.
