So I was searching for the details about her 30th birthday party - the one with ‘the beautiful and the damned’ theme that allegedly turned into an orgy in a suite in Claridges and found this very juicy article based on someone’s memoir. I’ve copied quite a large extract because it’s all too good to be omitted but also quite complicated, and relevant to much of the discussion of the last few pages

“After her break-up with Depp, Moss threw herself into partying with what London tabloids called “the Primrose Hill set,” a group of actors and musicians who coalesced around Sadie Frost and her husband Jude Law.
Callahan quotes an unnamed friend from those days who tells her that Frost “began to fall in love” with Moss and that when she told Law that she had been “hooking up” with Moss, “he became excited by it; the three became entangled.”
Callahan adds, “Kate often slept with her friends’ boyfriends, and actress Patsy Kensit forbade then-husband Liam Gallagher from being alone with Kate after learning they’d spent the night together.
“Minor pop star Pearl Lowe and her boyfriend Danny Goffey of Supergrass, were also involved with Sadie and Jude: as Jude denied and Pearl did not, Sadie slept with Danny and Pearl with Jude, until Jude fell in love with Pearl. The swapping stopped. All of it, Pearl later admitted, was fueled by booze and drugs.”
After a tearful dinner with Noel Gallagher (of Oasis-fame) and Meg Mathews in November 1998, Moss checked into the Priory for the first time.
Callahan claims that within weeks of leaving the Priory, Moss “got back on drugs.”
Callahan writes, “Sexually, Kate appeared more out of control than ever: one account has her as the supermodel who’d attend a party and station herself outside the bathroom door yelling, ‘Anyone want a
duck?’”
For her thirtieth birthday, in 2004, Callahan writes, “Kate threw a wild party themed to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s
The Beautiful and the Damned, and the accounts that emerged remain the stuff of legend: Kate and Naomi Campbell disappearing together for 40 minutes. Gwyneth Paltrow, scandalized, fleeing swiftly.
The after party in a suite at Claridge’s, with champagne and cigarette smoke and group sex in the main bedroom. ‘Kate went in and out,’ says a friend who claims to have attended. Sadie was in there, and models, and Ronnie Wood.’”
