Woah, hold on a sec there, Alison – that’s a tremendous assumption to make about a woman I presume you don’t know much about.
It’s the perfect insult for a celebrity to dish out to a non-celebrity - especially a celebrity who knows she is going to face humiliating publicity and is desperate to retain her feelings of superiority.” “All the things which Moss, of course, believes that she isn’t. “What does this mean? The phrase, popular in certain sections of American rap culture, is a horribly mean way to describe someone as ordinary, banal or dull. One passenger claimed: ‘She called the pilot a “basic b***h” as police led her off the plane.’ “You might think that was bad enough, but worse was to come. If that sounds like a leap on my behalf, then get a load of these few sentences: I don’t know how the leap has been made from “Kate Moss was not aggressive to anyone” to “Kate Moss was aggressive,” but my guess is that it’s because Alison is, for reasons unbeknownst to the average, reasonably minded individual, weirdly resentful of Moss. “The crew were acting out of proportion.” That last quote is, again, taken from an interview the MailOnline conducted with another passenger on board the flight, yet in a follow-up MailOnline post by Alison Boshoff, who is either the world’s most joyless human or is simply masquerading as such for a paycheck, the following question is raised: “Has the gulf ever been greater between the Kate Moss you see in magazines - all effortless grace and designer clothes - and the real thing: drunk in the afternoon, swearing, aggressive?” “She was not aggressive to anyone and was funny really,” another passenger said. Police were called to meet Moss when the flight landed, but a spokesman for the Bedfordshire Police stated that “no formal complaints were made against her and she was not arrested.” So why were police called to the scene in the first place? Well, if the plane’s passengers were to be believed (which they probably should be considering they were actually on the flight with Moss, unlike the Daily Mail reporters who are branding this incident her “mid-air meltdown”), the crew “overreacted”. She was not aggressive to anyone and was funny really. Not hairdressers?! Lock her up and throw away the key! Is there anything more disruptive a human can do whilst on board a flight than playfully engaging with a child?
Here’s what a witness who was on board the flight had to say about Moss’ “disruptive” behaviour, as reported by MailOnline – note that this fact is presented alongside a list of controversies that have “dogged” the model’s career: “Whilst on board they kept themselves to themselves but appeared to chat to the family next to them… including playing hairdressers with a young girl.” The tabloid has a habit of misrepresenting the truth, but in the case of the story regarding Kate Moss being “disruptive” while travelling aboard an easyJet flight, they quite simply take the facts, present them, and then decide to go ahead and concoct their own version of events anyway. Now I realise that discussing the failings of the Daily Mail is akin to beating a dead, racist, abhorrent horse, but this particular instance of them taking their own distorted view of the truth and presenting it as fact is noteworthy because of how brazen and astoundingly arrogant it is. At what point does a woman talking on board a flight become a national news headline in which she’s accused of having “a meltdown?” The answer is, of course, “when the Daily Mail gets a hold of the story,” because right now a lot of people are talking about Kate Moss’ supposedly erratic behaviour on an easyJet flight, despite there being no evidence of her behaving like anything but an ordinary passenger, albeit one with £5 million cash in the bank.
