goodbye Kate Moss (& good riddance)

[sansouci]

Kate's been dropped by H&M. She was filmed snorting coke.

[Toothache]

Wasn't there a thread about this last week?

Really can't see why she should lose contracts just cause of what she does in her spare time!

[Fio2]

but H&M is usually packed full of students!

[noddyholder]

If everyone who snorted coke lost their jobs we would be short on doctors and the city would be fairly empty!She only ever claimed to be beautiful nothing else

[oliveoil]

leave her alone fgs. If she is an addict she needs help not spite.

[Toothache]

Exactly! She signed the contracts as a pretty face/body, Not a pillar of society!!

[NomDePlume]

I guess H&M don't want their brand associated with (alledgedly) smack-head dating, coke snorting, dodgy parents.

[flamesparrow]

Reading a paper at a friend's yesterday about her appalling and shameful sex life... shock, horror, she has a history of sex with women!

With the exception of the drugs (which I don't agree with), I couldn't see what was so depraved about it.

[Moomin]

I thought H&M had agreed to keep her on if she signed a 'good behaviour' contract? Other companies that use her are undecided. Like others have said, she's hardly the only one and she's never done the interviews circuit pretending she's something she's not. I think models lead quite sad empty lives on the whole and anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. The media need to get off their high horses.

[Lizzylou]

Yawn...bored of all the KM bashing in media and on here...she's a model...not a personal favourite of mine but I'm sick of people being hped up by the media just so that they can be shot down again. I watched a journalist on TV on Sunday saying that all this stuff on Kate has been kept for years by the papers just so that when the tide turns they can crucify her...NICE!

[Cam]

It's probably an image thing, there may be contractual issues with bringing the image of the company into disrepute - they do sell baby and maternity clothes. Plus, not a good role model for teenage girls?

[fairyfly]

ooo get off her back, she could be addicted, she could be lost, she could just like the stuff, who are we to judge. I haven't got a clue about the women but her life is obviously just gone very shitty and we all go through times when we've hit the self destruct button.

[sansouci]

just heard it on bbc. thought it was nice & controversial... get you all going. rant! rant! seriously, even i've done drugs but never in front of a camera and certainly never as a supermodel. what an appalling example. that's why i say "good riddance".

[Toothache]

Its SO common.... the only problem is that Kate Moss was caught by some scumbag taking photos of her. I dare say she doesn't do it in front of her child. I know lots of people that go out and get drunk every weekend! Doesn't make them irresponsible parents.

Fair enough.... coke is much more serious than alcohol and is very much illegal.... but really who are we to decide whether she is bad parent or not!

[Toothache]

Sansouci!!! She didn't know there was a camera there!!! FFS!

[fairyfly]

Everyone in the Media spotlight has done coke surely. Well apart from Ant and Dec as they are nice boys.

[Toothache]

lol FF - Bet they're raging cokeheads really! And sexual deviants.

[Cam]

In the cut-throat world of super-modelling, I don't think my anonymous opinion is going to cause KM one minute of worry or that I'm contributing to her "downfall".

However I am entitled to my view.

[sansouci]

people in media spotlight shouldn't do drugs in public.

[Toothache]

Sansouci - Again... what do you class as 'in public'???? If it was in her house and a photographer happened to find a gap in her curtains.... would that be in public??

[Toothache]

Incidentally, she has contracts with many many companies so if H&M have dropped her... it certainly won't be 'good bye'.

[Cam]

So what if she's a model, surely she's a parent first

[Toothache]

sigh<

I would say that I'm human first.

[fairyfly]

People in the media spotlight are not Saints, they are humans, if my children were influenced and effected by behaviour of random people i would be more concerned they were so impressionable than the person they were copying. You can find a role model for any behaviour and blame your actions on them. You only have to go to the library and look in history books. What the issue to me is that children when faced with dangerous choices they are educated and no why to say no. Not just sweep anyone who is behaving " badly" under the carpet and pretending none of it exists.

[Rowlers]

I find drug taking quite repugnant personally.
I can completely understand why she has been dropped by H+M and I agree with the decision.
Fair enough she can do what she wants, but H+M don't have to pay her huge amounts of money if the image she is portraying is not one they want to be associated with.
Who is "Kate Moss" anyway? I have never heard her speak, don't associate her with anything other than being photogenic. Why is everyone so keen to defend her? I don't get it.
