Olsens Deny Mary-Kate Cocaine Addiction





United Press International


The family of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen denies U.S. tabloid reports that Mary-Kate is undergoing treatment for cocaine addiction.

Two U.S. tabloids published stories saying Mary-Kate, 18, became addicted to cocaine while trying to lose weight, Access Hollywood reported Friday.

"The bottom line is that Mary-Kate was not admitted for drugs -- period," said Olsen's spokeswoman.

Dave Olsen, the twins' father, also dismissed the report.

"I can't control what other people say. It's frustrating, but I have got to keep my eye on the ball right now," he said.

American Media, which owns the tabloids, backs its story.

"If they were going to sue us, they would have done it already," a spokesman said.

The family has maintained Mary-Kate is undergoing treatment for an eating disorder.

American Press Refuses To Retract Olsen Cocaine Claims


Teen star Mary-Kate Olsen is furious two magazines have refused to retract claims she is being treated in rehab for cocaine addiction not anorexia. American tabloids Star and the National Enquirer published front page stories about Mary-Kate's reported drug problem this week, with photographs apparently showing the 18-year-old checking into Utah's Cirque Lodge clinic. Representatives for Olsen and her company Dualstar have threatened legal action - but American Media, who own both magazines, remain unmoved. Spokesman Stu Zakim says, "If they were going to sue us, they would have done it already. Nothing has come forward and that only reinforces the validity of our reporting. We knew how explosive this story would be, and it's been fact-checked and fact-checked and fact-checked. We have all the confidence in the world that our reporting is on the money." Olsen's representative Michael Pagnotta argues, "If (the Enquirer) is the same kind of reporting as in the Star, which we consider to be false, then it would likewise be evaluated by our attorneys. The bottom line is that Mary-Kate was not admitted for drugs, period."

Why do I have a feeling a certain phrase will be used in this thread?

Well, when I got caught, that's the excuse I gave, I was trying to lose weight.
