How the Moss sisters made up: Tensions seem to have thawed

After a frosty three year feud, Kate Moss and her younger sister Lottie appear to have buried the hatchet. 

The supermodel, 50, enjoyed lunch with her sibling, 26, at The Griffin pub in Sussex for their father Peter’s 80th birthday over the weekend. 

It was a pivotal moment for the pair who have not been pictured together in years, with Lottie previously claiming Kate ‘doesn’t even reply to my texts‘.  

The two were once so close Lottie was a bridesmaid at Kate’s wedding and moved into her sister’s Cotswolds mansion during the Covid pandemic. 

However, tensions soon grew over Lottie’s wild partying ways, with her revealing she would take drugs often five times a week.

Then, there was the controversial launch of her X-rated OnlyFans career, where she stripped naked for the subscription service, after being signed to Kate’s old modelling agency Storm. 

Lottie was swiftly removed from the agency’s website, with her admitting her family ‘was in turmoil over it’. 

A family source claimed at the time, even Kate’s daughter Lila, 21, ‘wouldn’t have anything to do with Lottie’ due to her antics with the wrong crowd.

The insider told Page Six: ‘During lockdown, Kate invited Lottie to come and live with her in the Cotswolds at her country house. Lila point-blank refused to have anything to do with Lottie on social media.

‘Kate was frustrated because Lottie kept on wanting to drink and posting sexually provocative stuff on Instagram all the time.

‘It isn’t easy for Kate to be around people who are drinking, and she definitely won’t be around anyone who is using cocaine.’ 

Kate was famously dubbed ‘Cocaine Kate’ when she was photographed snorting the substance in 2005. 

At the time she was dating singer Pete Doherty, who has made no secret of his own past drug use and addiction to heroin.

She has since turned her life around and opts for a clean-living approach. 

And so it is little surprise Kate began to distance herself from Lottie as her lifestyle began to echo the supermodel’s Primrose Hill wild partying days. 

When Lottie finally departed the Vogue cover star’s home ‘in a foul mood’, she reportedly left behind two bottles of her sister’s favourite bottle of wine which was interpreted as a ‘f**k you’ gesture. 

Lottie ended up in rehab after moving to America and she later revealed she had a ‘very bad’ cocaine addiction and used alcohol to mask her depression. 

The OnlyFans star’s mum Inger and her best friend staged an intervention and encouraged Lottie to seek help for substance abuse issues at the rehab centre in Arizona. 

She told Jamie Laing on his podcast last year: ‘I didn’t realise I had depression for a very long time. I just thought everyone felt this way… and I thought you just kind of get through it…

‘I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. I quit modelling; I was doing some OnlyFans but not really. I didn’t recognise myself…

‘I always wanted to be the fun one, and then I got to the point that my mum and best friend came to me and said: “You need to get rehab because you are so depressed”. 

Lottie said she never touched drugs or alcohol before becoming a catwalk star but later became hooked.

She also he never felt able to confide in her half sister Kate about her troubles, admitting the endless comparison with the supermodel was a constant burden during her career. 

Lottie said: ‘I started quite early on with using drugs and alcohol as a crutch, as a coping mechanism, which there is not a lack of in the fashion industry.

‘There were people in positions of power that were giving me drugs and alcohol when I was very young and so it didn’t seem bad to me.’

She continued: ‘When you have people around you who are enabling you, I am talking at high fashion events and people are in a penthouse suite, and its people that are working for a brand that is very well known and they’re sat there doing drugs with you as a 19-year-old.

‘That is so weird to me now… that should never happen in any industry.

‘The fact that no one said, “maybe we shouldn’t be enabling our client to do drugs. We should want her to be on her A game and doing her best, wake up in the morning and do a gym class, instead it was lots of alcohol”, and it goes hand in hand.’

Lottie admits her drug taking became so regular she was using ‘five times a week,’ sparked by an unhappy relationship with an older man.

She explained: ‘I did weed and things like that when I was 15 but moving to London and being around a lot of older people, my boyfriend at the time was 27 and the people we were hanging around with did a lot of drugs.

‘I started to realise quite early on that my relationship wasn’t going very well with him and he was unfaithful, and he was also using drugs as a coping mechanism. I saw that and I instilled it into my life because it was the only time, I felt that I could be free.

‘When I was working constantly, I had to be on my A game so when I came back to London and did drugs, I was like “yes” because it felt like freedom to me. It felt like my escape, but it quickly became something that I used because I was not happy.

‘I have been honest with myself back then that I was using it too much. I don’t feel that I had an addiction to it… I just needed to get away. It numbed every single feeling that I had like anger, upset, loneliness, it became like my friend.’

 In January this year, Lottie marked four days sober. 

She said in an emotional video: ‘I have struggled so much since I was young with depression, anxiety and problems with addiction and becoming a model and being in that industry made it very difficult for me not to feel that way and just succumb to drugs and alcohol whenever I felt sad.

‘I’ve been in a habit of doing that for the rest of my life up until now. And I’ve just got to a point where now I don’t even know who I am and it’s just like navigating your 20s f****** suck.’

She added: ‘I think sometimes you become this person who you don’t like, know or even recognise. I think I’ve gone to that place today where I just don’t know who I am.

‘Since I got my face tattoo and started OnlyFans, I was like, “is this even what I want to be doing?”.

‘I think I rebelled so hard away from an industry that made me sad at the time and I just rebelled so hard away from being that person because I was so miserable being that person. But then I don’t even like me now, so I’m like “who the f*** am I?”

She added: ‘I just need to know that other people are feeling this way and that I’m not going crazy. I feel like I isolated myself from so many people that do and did care and now I feel so alone. I feel like I should be grateful as I have so many good thinks in my life but I just don’t feel happy in myself.’
