Article from Mirror online [www.mirror.co.uk](http://www.mirror.co.uk) 15 September 2005 EXCLUSIVE: COCAINE KATE By Stephen Moyes “THE Daily Mirror today reveals shocking pictures of supermodel Kate Moss snorting a fat line of cocaine during a debauched drugs and drink session with junkie lover Pete Doherty. She’s pictured left (above) in typical model pose - but the Mirror’s exclusive new shots show Kate in an entirely different light…” {snip} ---

> [@Duke of Rat](#): > > Supermodels do drugs? I’m shocked! Just shocked! I know, who’d have thunk it? 😃 The pictures really are kind of crazy though. You rarely get to actually view a celebrity doing drugs. I really think it’s fascinating for some unknown reason. ---

So she does blow? Good for her if she enjoys it, I guess. It’s not like she’s making decisions that affect the Future Of Humanity. If I were a close friend or family member I’d be concerned of course. If she reached out to me I’d try to help. (And, Kate, if you’re reading this, I _am_ here for you; a shoulder to cry on, some company for the night, whatever you need, babe.) Otherwise, it’s her life. I hope she enjoyed herself. ---

I wononder what happens legally in cases like this. Could her custody of her children be endangered because of this? Can her ex husband or the UK authorities seek to remove them form her custody the way the US authorities did with Courtney Love’s kids? ---

> [@Indygrrl](#): > > A bit of advice: If you don’t like celebrity gossip, don’t click on threads with titles involving the words “Kate Moss” and “tabloid.” Isn’t it weird when people feel the need to come into a clearly-titled thread about a subject they don’t care about, and berate people for having an interest they don’t share? I always found that very odd. ---

I’m not shocked to read that Kate Moss uses drugs. But I was surprised to see the words “Kate Moss” and “busted” being used in the same sentence. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kate-moss-busted-by-the-tabloids/322031.md?page=2)
