Was a scapegoat for many people’s problems

Ex-top model Kate Moss (48) not only has positive memories of her early professional years. “I think I was a scapegoat for a lot of people’s problems,” the Brit said in a BBC interview aired on Sunday, citing discussions about her low weight as a young model. “I have never suffered from anorexia.”

After a photo series by the photographer Corinne Day with Moss for British “Vogue” in 1993, there were debates about the so-called “heroin chic” – extremely thin, almost emaciated-looking figures. “I’ve never taken heroin either. I was so skinny because I didn’t eat on shoots and I’ve always been skinny,” Moss told the BBC.

The earlier years of her model life would have sharpened her “instincts,” said the Brit. After being told to take off her bra on a shoot when she was 15 and running away, she can now spot black sheep a mile away. (dpa)
