Nine.com offers deal to shunned model

By Lianne Elias

Online gaming site Nine.com recently offered disgraced supermodel Kate Moss a contract worth GBP 5 million to be the face of their new campaign.

Moss recently lost lucrative modeling contracts with fashion houses H&M, Chanel and Burberry due to the publication of shocking pictures depicting the model snorting cocaine.

The five year contract requires the model to enter rehab and be monitored by the company's headquarters in Costa Rica in a show of good faith and to prove she is drug free. Nine.com has also inquired as to whether Moss would be willing to participate in a Nine.com sponsored anti-drug campaign aimed at students.

The site proposed the deal after receiving feedback from customers in a focus group claiming they were not disturbed or offended by her alleged use of the drug. Moss and her agent have yet to respond to the offer.

Photos of the famous model taking the Class A substance in her now ex-boyfriend's recording studio were splashed across UK tabloids last week. The model has since issued a statement of apology to her family, including 3-year-old daughter Lila Grace, friends and business associates, and has been admitted to a rehab clinic in Arizona.
