Kate Moss: crap mother? but the media choose to ignore it.....

[Greythorne]

OK, so Kate moss gets scrutinized for her hair, her weight, her boyfriends, her Top Shop collection, her friendship with that frizzy haired hairdresser blokey, her friendship with Sadie Frost etc etc......

But the one thing no-one ever mentions is that she appears to live the life of a single woman, not a mother to a 7 year old....it's Glasto to gigging with Jamie Hince to sharing joints with Lily Allen to holidays in Ibiza.

Yes, yes, I know, on Fathers' Day she went to visit her ex with her little girl in tow but even then, it was Sadie Frost holding Lila's hand, not Kate.

Is there a media ban or something on discussing how little time she spends with her child?

I just don't get it because Katie Holmes gets slated all the time because her kid is wearing high heels / still drinking milk from a bottle / wearing make-up / whatever......ditto Posh, Katie Price....but at least these mums seem to love and adore their kids and like spending time with them. But they get loads of grief.

Kate: nothing. Nobody talks about her motherly responsibilities.
WHY?

That all sounds possibly libellous SSK

Oh, which bit?
She is an alcoholic.
She is a substance abuser.
She did continue a relationship with that bloke.

It's got to be untrue to be libellous.

Is she? Is that an officially recognised thing?

Adn the residency thing.

Sorry am being a bit obscure because I don't want my post pulled.

HerBeatitude

She is reported to have been admitted to http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-363908/Kate-misses-daughters-birthday-rehab.html rehab and has admitted being an alcoholic.

The residency thing....sorry, I sis say that "I just assumed" based on stuff that is already in the media.

don't mean to be libellous. Just offering my opinion. There's def more to the media blackout than "she keeps her kid out of the press's way".

Sorry, crap link. Here goes:

She is reported to have been admitted to rehab

Have any of you ever actually met KM? No? Then why all the suspicion on her parenting?

All you know about her is what the media prints and what she allows them to print.

I remember reading a story in Popbitch/Holy Moly/or some such gossip website about Kate Moss being at a party getting drunk and there being a child crying and calling out for its mum and Kate Moss saying "will someone shut that child up" and someone saying to her "erm Kate that's your child" No idea if it's true or not of course! I don't think i've ever read anything about her being a bad parent actually.

Well, bluebump, I believe everything on Popbitch

Yep, its all pretty tawdry and people have short memories.

And why exactly did she stay with that Babyshambles singer for so long?

You don't have to do much to be papped. Here's Katie and Suri...picking strawberries

Pretty sure Kate Moss would be subject to similar if she ever stepped out with her daughter.

Pete Doherty!!

I don't have a short memory.

I simply haven't followed Kate Moss's um... career, is it called?

lottiejenkins - I prefer "that shiny man in the hat who was a drug user and regularly up in court" from SSK. But thanks.

when she is photographed it's work, I'm sure she manages a private life
without knowing her I wouldn't begin to speculate on her mothering skills
lot of anti glasto feeling on mn atm
so puritanical!

In the photo of her sharing joints on a yaught with Lily Allen her daughter was on a sun lounger next to her. So they do share stuff together!!

As an aside Sadie Frost's toddler ate an ecstasy tablet from the floor of a kid's party a few years ago.

ooo, I forgot about the Sadie Frost incident!

She might be a crap mother, yes.

What I don't understand is why the media accepted to cover the fact that she is a crap mother etc etc etc.
The Daily Mail would feast on it.

I have read that the daughter spends most of her time with the dad and grandparents. And that her Primrose Hill pals have a nickname for Jefferson Hack: "the babysitter".

I didn't even know she was a mother.

Speaks volumes...

Unquietdad
quite

She wouldn't be the first mother in the world who hasn't custody of her child, if that's the true.

If not, thank goodness she doesn't take her dd to parties in the middle of the night.

Mmm...I have heard from well-informed sources that she, in fact, does not refrain from using illegal substances in front of her daughter. Allegedly and all that.

truth, sorry
