the recent girl arrested for ecstasy - 'says she cannot enjoy a club without using it'. May I remind you that this is an alledged comment which has since been denied by her Australian lawyer. There were also other reports that claimed she had admitted already having taken esctasy earlier that evening yet a urine test supposedly came back negative. This is not possible if in fact she had taken some earlier. Please remember not everything you read in the press is fact. I'm not saying this is an out right lie but none of us are to know one way or another until it is proven.
My sister went to school with this girl and my family know her and her family quite well. I can tell you she has never been one to touch drugs of any type. However having said that we have no way of knowing what is true or false from the media reports. I'm sure if it was one of your children you would want them to be given the benefit of the doubt on a comment such as this until it was proven otherwise.
I personally hope she has not thrown away a very succesful career for one moment of stupidity which is exactly what she would have done if indeed the reports are accurate.
