Jodie Kidd has finally broken her silence on those drug allegations that reportedly saw her dropped from a series of modelling campaigns. In an interview with Hello! magazine, Kidd refers to claims that she helped supplied cocaine and regularly took class A drugs as 'her year from hell'.

"I was just someone minding their own business, plodding on in life. They had no need to do it because I'm not a bad person," Kidd said of the drugs sting by News of the World reporters last year. "I was very shocked. It was totally out of the blue."

The model also refutes claims that she lost lucrative contacts due to the allegations, and dismisses reports that she was dropped from her agency, Independent, over gaining weight.

"I went in to their offices to say I was leaving about a month ago because I wanted to concentrate on the sports and presenting side of my career. The next thing I know, I've supposedly been dropped by them because I'm fat."

"I haven't got a clue where that came from. I'm too skinny, then I'm too fat. I can't really do anything right. I'm a size 12. I'm always going to be long and bony, but I'm not going to fit into a size zero, that's for sure. I've moved on."

  • Jodie's full interview appears in the latest issue of Hello! magazine, on stands tomorrow.

Jodie Kidd breaks her silence over drug allegations - Comments

  • Angel - that's highly offensive to people who are naturally that size, and trust me, there ARE people who are naturally that size. Short girls tend to wear smaller dress sizes, for instance, so it's not very nice to brand people as automatically "ugly" when you don't know anything about them other than their dress size. Dress size is irrelevant unless you also happen to know the person's height and build.



    Sorry to go off topic, but you never hear people saying "No one likes size 20, it's ugly", so why is it OK to make hateful comments about slim women?

  • Angel

    I don't think she did it... sorry. And I think it's unfair for them to treat her the way they have.



    And as for her agency - No one likes size zero! It's ugly.

    I don't understand: as far as I can see, she doesn't actually deny anything. She wants sympathy (and press coverage), but if she can't even pay lip service to a refutation then she seems fairly deserving of the original coverage. Or am I just being mean?
