Look what happens when a celeb doesn’t have a good PR gal/guy!
So last week, it was announced that the PR-less Brit trainwreck, Kerry Katona, was set to undergo a test to prove/disprove alcoholism because her $400K endorsement deal with UK food giant, Iceland, was in jeopardy.
After appearing ‘wasted’ on a Brit TV show, Kerry’s employers ‘asked’ her to take said test in what appeared to be an effort to quell the outcries expressed by insulted customers.
Katona’s meddling husband, former cabbie/dealer Mark Croft, said the following about the testing, “Iceland sorted everything out for us. They said: “We’re concerned about Kerry, and want to make sure everything is fine.”
But, come this weekend, Katona revealed in an interview:
“Four years ago I was diagnosed as an alcoholic after a stay in The Priory clinic. This is not common knowledge as I’ve never admitted it before. But this is a battle I will face for the rest of my life. I can get through days without a drink but it’s hard. I never promise myself or my family that I can beat this addiction but I’ll try bloody hard.”
Is Iceland pissed that Kerry just didn’t come clean to them?
This all could have been handled so much better!
We hope Kerry is getting help to stay sober.
Good luck, girl.
It’s for the better!
