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.
Oh my goodness. How abysmally low must one's sense of self-worth be in order for them to celebrate and worship their self-mortification?
It's a mental disorder. I find it to be incredible that there are young girls doing this. I think it's way beyond the everyday 'woe is me I'm not like Britney'.
As Carlos Mencia says: Men LOVE BOOBS! We LOVE A-S!
Anti-Drug, Anti-self-indulgent Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
...yeah, the bubbles in your sinuses from snorting 7-Up are much gentler.
Cheers!
The best pun on Free Republic since the Typhoon Longwang thread!
I remember reading that comment several days ago. It's like deja vu all over again.
The "waif" models as the article says is a MSM excuse for not using the real name: the "Heroin Chic" era of models. Of course you can always use cocaine to wake up from a heroin stupor...and heroin to come down from a cocaine high...and...etc.
DK
National Lampoon years ago had a spoof about an agency named Double Digit IQ Models, Inc. boasting that they were all at least paper trained etc. etc. etc. A real classic.
It is pushed on society by warped homosexual
fashion designers who depise the normal curves
of the female form. They want adult females to
look like skinny boys. (The Twiggy look.)
LOL (so loud it woke up the wife, and she LOL too.)
as to kate moss, i am guessing you cannot be with that drug addled boyfriend who glories in his heroin addiction and not be inured to the drug life.
Outstanding pun!
she's not rail thin anymore, just model thin...she's also aged quite a bit and looks a little spent for 31.
Nice Pat Metheny reference there.
Because clothes always look best on the hanger.
Why is she Karate chopping her pelvis?
To be fair, she hasn't looked like that in a while. Kate Moss is 31 years old now. Here are some recent photos.
