KATE MOSS AXED OVER DRUG SCANDAL
The Kate Moss cocaine saga rumbles on. The supermodel, who reputedly
earns $15 million a year from lucrative deals with companies including Burberry,
Chanel and Christian Dior, is now daily fodder for British tabloids. They have
become obsessed with Moss’s lifestyle and antics and have lavished page after
page embellishing on the facts and gossip surrounding her documented drug use
and sex life. Moss has been in an out of rehab clinics for years and said in an
interview with David Bowie two years ago she had kicked her drug habit forever.
However, it now emerges police are to investigate allegations that she has taken
cocaine. A senior officer ordered the probe following newspaper pictures of Moss
allegedly snorting the drug.
Moss, 31, has now been dropped as cover girl for the fashion giants H&M,
Chanel and Burberry. H&M’s decision reversed an earlier statement from the
company that condemned substance abuse but forgave Moss and gave her a
second chance. However, a slew of phone calls from irate customers and
negative publicity over the prudence of being associated with a cocaine user,
expedited the supermodel’s axing. A company spokesperson explained: “H&M
has decided that a campaign with Kate Moss is inconsistent with H&M’s clear
dissociation of drugs.” Shoppers were perplexed that as a mother, Moss saw fit to
use hard drugs. Burberry and Chanel quickly followed suit in dumping Moss and
disassociating themselves with the furor created by her errant behavior.
3 Prepare answers to the following opinions on Kate Moss. Do you agree
with them?
1 Kate Moss is being very unfairly attacked. The media should leave her alone.
2 She should set a better example. She should therefore go to prison.
3 Supermodels influence young people. They have a responsibility to avoid
drugs.
4 The world has real problems. Kate Moss is a non-deserving nobody.
5 Why the fuss? Hundreds of celebrities, sports stars and politicians take drugs.
6 Irresponsible media coverage of Moss will encourage more people to try
cocaine.
7 What has Moss done for the world? Nothing. Let’s focus on useful lives. I
really don’t care about her. The whole story is boring.
