Kate Moss addressed the anorexia and heroin rumors 20 years after her iconic Calvin Klein shot that made her the face of “Heroin Chic”
The top model denied both claims saying that it wasn’t her fault that she was over working and skinny because she didn’t have the time to eat and there was no food on the sets but never been anorexic.
She also said that the doctor gave him valium but thanks to Francesca Sorrenti she never took it and she never used heroin in her life.
Here is some highlights of the interview with James Fox of Vanity Fair.
“I was thin, but that’s because I was doing shows, working really hard,”
“You’d get to work in the morning, there was no food. Nobody took you out for lunch when I started . . . but I was never anorexic. They knew it wasn’t true — otherwise I wouldn’t able to work,” Moss said in the December cover story.
The British beauty, 38, also took the opportunity to clear the air about what really happened during her early modeling days.
“I had never even taken heroin — it was nothing to do with me at all,” she told VF.
In the issue, out Wednesday, Moss also recalled having a nervous breakdown about her Calvin Klein shoot. She was around 17 at the time, and was working with Herb Ritts and a young Mark Wahlberg.
“It didn’t feel like me at all. I felt really bad about straddling this buff guy. I didn’t like it. I couldn’t get out of bed for two weeks. I thought I was going to die,” according to Moss.
“I went to the doctor, and he said, ‘I’ll give you some Valium,’ and Francesca Sorrenti, thank God, said ‘You’re not taking that.’ It was just anxiety. Nobody takes care of you mentally . . . I didn’t like it. But it was work, and I had to do it,” she added.
