Kate Moss was videotaped doing lines backstage at a Babyshambles concert last September. She was promptly dumped from her modeling contracts with Chanel and Burberry and went to rehab. She got new modeling contracts with Nikon, Calvin Klein, and came back with a vengeance.
She fled England after the scandal broke and was said to be wanted for police questioning, which she avoided for a while. In January she finally spoke to the police, but took the good advice of her lawyers and did not admit to any wrongdoing.
She was expected to be cleared on all charges, and an official announcement was made today. Cops said they couldn’t tell whether Moss was doing amphetamines, cocaine, or ecstasy in the video and since those substances fall under different drug severity classes they can’t charge her with anything and she gets off on a technicality:
“The film footage provides an absolutely clear indication that Ms. Moss was using controlled drugs and providing them to others,” he said.
“However, in the absence of any forensic evidence, or direct eye witness evidence about the substance in question, its precise nature could not be established.”
“Ms. Moss declined to provide any explanation when interviewed, and the direct eye witnesses also declined to provide evidence.
“Expert analysis of the footage, however, narrowed the possibilities down to three particular drugs: Cocaine, ecstasy or amphetamine.
“But these three substances fall into two different legal categories of controlled drugs.
“To obtain a conviction, case law establishes that the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt the legal category to which the substance being used belonged.
“Proving that it was a substance belonging either to one or other of two different legal categories is not sufficient.
“Accordingly, as the available evidence fell short of establishing the necessary crucial facts, we decided that there was no realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution could not therefore be started.”
It’s not like Kate would be in too much trouble if she actually was prosecuted for using a controlled substance. It seems like Pete Doherty is in court every other week on drugs charges and he hasn’t faced great consequences other than being ordered to rehab.
Here’s the shaky video of Kate doing cocaine in case you missed it: (Commentary is in Italian)
And here is Moss at the Isle of Wight music festival recently. It looks like Courtney Love is behind her in one of the shots. [via]

OH. MY. GOD. Who on earth is that trollop in the stripey shirt, red handkerchief and pirate boots??? What does she think she looks like?? I had to laugh and cringe at that one.. jeepers. Some women will follow in the trail of others in the name of fashion but my god it would be better if they just stayed at home, put on a pair of pj’s and watched the tv. That’s shocking.
