My modelling agency plied me with drink and drugs to make me work, claims Lottie Moss

MODEL Lottie Moss claims she was plied with drink and drugs by agency bosses. In an interview which is set to stun the fashion industry, she also says she was forced to work against her will.

Lottie, 24, the half-sister of supermodel Kate, 48, was signed to a top UK modelling agency before she was dropped last month.

Referring to drug use in the industry, Lottie reckoned: “I think I just thought it was normal and I was going to these events and parties and I was exhausted.

“A lot of the time I would be showing up to set and I didn’t want to do it, I’d be crying my eyes out and they said, ‘we’ll just get you some drugs, you can have a drink and then you’ll be fine’.

“It was very much like that, ‘oh you’ll do this shoot, whether you’re sober or not. It’s going to happen’.

“I was at an event in Rome and I was crying my eyes out in the H๏τel and I was putting makeup on over my tears, it was bad.“They were just like, ‘you only have to be downstairs for an hour’.

“I don’t think there were a lot of people in that industry that cared about my wellbeing I have to be real.” She added: “It’s not a normal thing to do drugs. It shouldn’t be as normalised as it is in the celebrity or fashion industry.”
