Newspaper hands Kate Moss video to police
From Beth Gardiner
LONDON—The tabloid that printed images allegedly showing Kate Moss
snorting cocaine has turned over the videotape to police, a senior
staffer at the newspaper said Thursday. Moss lost contracts with H&M,
Burberry and Channel after the Daily Mirror published the pictures in
September. The 31-year-old supermodel later apologized to “all the
people I have let down” and checked into an Arizona rehabilitation
clinic.
Police said at the time they would investigate the allegations, taking
into account the impact on impressionable young people. No one at the
Daily Mirror was willing to comment on the record, but a senior staffer
who refused to be identified said the newspaper had turned over the
secretly captured video to police under a judge’s orders. It allegedly
showed Moss taking drugs with her then-boyfriend Pete Doherty, the
troubled singer of British rock band Babyshambles.
Police refused to comment. Moss has begun a career comeback. She shot an
advertising campaign for designer Roberto Cavalli, and she was to appear
in a television ad for cell phone-brand Virgin Mobile. French Vogue
devoted its December issue to Moss, with the cover tag line, “Scandalous
Beauty.” The Vogue issue was Moss’ third major magazine cover since the
cocaine scandal broke. She appeared on the November issue of W and the
December edition of Vanity Fair, which asked in a headline, “Can she
come back?”
