Kate Moss pulls out of cocaine libel trial
With less than 24 hours before the trial was set to start, Kate Moss has pulled out of a libel action case over her cocaine abuse.
She was set to fight a Channel Five documentary’s claims that she had collapsed into a cocaine-induced coma in Barcelona in 2001 and was a serious cocaine abuser.
The documentary entitled “The Truth About Kate Moss” included an interview with Naomi Campbell’s former personal assistant Rebecca White: White claimed that she took cocaine with Kate and helped revived her when she fell unconscious.
The secret footage of Kate snorting cocaine last year, as published by the Mirror, had been admitted as evidence to the trial and Kate was forced to abandon the action when she was required to sign a statement to deny she was taking cocaine in the pictures.
Kate will face a legal bill of £60,000 for pulling out of the case.

ie. kate realised she wasn’t going to get away with calling lies when it was clearly the truth and did this to save face.
if i was Five, i’d sue her for libel over her claim for libel.
