Kate Moss performs disowns her famous quote ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’
The British supermodel, 44, claims that one of her friends made up the phrase and her model pals would repeat it to put each other off eating
Kate Moss has disowned her most famous quote — after infuriating eating disorder campaigners for a decade.
The supermodel was accused of encouraging anorexia when she said “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” back in 2009.
But now she claims a mate made up the phrase — and that her model pals would repeat it to put each other off eating.
Kate, 44, told a US telly show: “My friend used to say it, because you know, we were all living together, and we’d go for the biscuits and go, “Oh, nothing tastes as g . . . ” It’s a little jingle.
“But there’s so much more diversity now, I think it’s right. There’s so many different sizes and colours and heights.
“Why would you just be a one-size model and being represented for all of these people? So, yes, for sure, it’s better.”
