How does this happen?
If Martha Steward got caught with a line, she'd get thrown in the slammer, do not past "go," do not collect $200. How does Kate Moss get away with it? It's an illegal substance!

LONDON - Supermodel Kate Moss acknowledged to the Hennes & Mauritz clothing chain that tabloid allegations she recently used cocaine are true, an H&M spokeswoman said.
Moss, who is to model one of H&M's upcoming clothing lines, apologized for her drug use and promised in writing to abide by a company policy that models be "healthy, wholesome and sound," spokeswoman Liv Asarnoj said.
H&M decided to keep Moss on, Asarnoj told The Associated Press in a phone interview from the company's headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden.
"We strongly disapprove of her action," Asarnoj said Saturday. "We feel that this is very unfortunate."
Asarnoj said Moss had acknowledged the allegations of drug use were true. "That's why she was so regretful," Asarnoj said. "We are giving her a second chance."
Noelle Doukas, who answered the phone at the Storm modeling agency in London, which represents Moss, 31, said no one there was available to comment on the allegations.
The Daily Mirror tabloid printed images from a video which it said showed the model doing five lines of cocaine in 40 minutes at a late-night music recording session.
Her lawyer Gerard Tyrrell did not return a message left at his office Saturday.
A model that does coke?! I'm shocked!!!!!
Unless a cop is there to catch her, or the substance is seized and tested, they can do nothing.

But they have pictures, and she's admitted it was coke.... what did they put Martha away on.... one guy's testimony!
doesn't matter...pics mean nothing (it could be anything, not necessarily coke)...her public admission means nothing (on the stand, she could just say it was a PR stunt, so prove it was really coke).
Martha never made that call! No way! Free Martha Stewart!
(oh, crap, she's free... and all over my TV) 
who cares if someone does drugs. All they hurt is themselves. Stealing from people though does hurt others and martha stewart got off easy.

| Originally posted by muzzybear I disagree only because Kate Moss is the spokesperson for a major clothing label and which is influental on young people. She breached conditions of her contract and got a slap on the wrist. Did Courtney Love get the same treatment? She's been in and out of court for years! |

Could someone clarify this for me? I was under the impression that it's not illegal to consume, but rather the purchase or possession only was. I know it's a fine line, (unintentional bad pun and am far too lazy to think of a different phrasing but apparently can take the effort to type out run on fragmented sentence....ah whatever) but if that understanding is correct, then it's not really a crime for her to have used it, no?

| Originally posted by Sly_Guy that's a little shortsighted jay but purchasing and consuming cocaine or any controlled substance, you are creating and supporting a demand for illicit substances, which are then supported by organized crime. So by consuming coke, she's given a big 'thumbs up' to the russian mafia. If it were legalized however.... |
I am opposed on point of principle to the draconian drug laws, but that doesn't change the fact that there is a HUGE difference between saying you did drugs and actually getting caught with them.
A confession is only valid if it's made to a police officer (after one is read his/her rights), or on the stand in court. Otherwise it is hearsay, and even if it was done on live TV or something like that, there's no proof that the confession was made in "good faith".
Undercover reporters went into Buzz nightclub in DC w/hidden cameras, recording in black & white crappy, grainy quality image. They did expose some problems (the biggest fiasco were the cops present who did nothing, and some were in fact married and making out w/young raver girls on the job), but they tried to show people 'passed out in their own vomit' (which u could not see), and tried to make a claim that a table COVERED in a white powder (she was scooping up handfuls of it) must've been an illegal substance. < I mean, how stupid does she think we are?? If that gigantic pile of white powder were really drugs at all, do u think they woulda been left behind???? She coulda spilled an entire bottle of baby powder on the table, and we're supposed to believe it was drugs on her 'word' alone. I dont think so!

You know this is such a north american attitude. We expect rock stars to be perfect citizens but meanwhile what made them famous was their badass ways in the first place. |

| Originally posted by Jem_hadar EXACTLY. Just because you're famous does not mean you HAVE to assume the onerous burden of being a positive role model. Sure it's great if you do, but that doesn't mean you should be expected to do that. That's bullshit and unfair. They have every right to be just as un-perfect as you and I are and act in our daily lives. -jem- |

what concerns me about kate moss is that she has a kid.
how tragic.
once you are responsible for another life, your life must be adjusted accordingly.
don't do drugs because you might die, or have your kid taken away, or hurt the kid for some reason.
Kate Moss is a fucking legend, and has upped her score in the UK by 10 points since this coke "fiasco", not to mention lovely publicity just in time for London Fashion Week.
