Donatella Versace in cocaine clinic

JEREMY CHARLES IN ROME

THE curse of the Versace family has struck again after it was confirmed last night that the celebrity fashion designer, Donatella, was undergoing rehabilitation for cocaine addiction.

Donatella, 49, has long had a drug problem. The news that she is undergoing therapy comes just days after the seventh anniversary of the murder of her brother Gianni, who was gunned down on the doorstep of his Miami mansion.

The permanently bronzed queen of fashion who counts Elton John and the Beckhams as her friends was last seen in public at the Milan men’s show looking very thin. Days earlier she had been photographed at the 18th birthday party of her daughter, Allegra.

Rumours that Donatella, who is split from Allegra’s father, Paul Beck, had gone into therapy surfaced this month when she failed to show up for the Paris fashion show for the first time in years.

Yesterday a spokesman at the company’s Milan headquarters confirmed that Donatella was in a United States drugs clinic and added: "The company views this as a private matter and there will be no further comment."

One Italian fashion writer said: "The rumour that Donatella was in rehab surfaced at the end of June. She looked a terrible state. She had lost 10kg in weight and looked terribly thin. She had a wig or hair extensions on during the Milan show because her hair had fallen out.

"It’s long been known that she has a problem with drugs, so I'm not surprised she has gone into a clinic.

"It's such a shame the Versace family just seems to be going from one problem to another. Things haven’t gone right since Gianni’s murder, and the company has been losing money ever since.

"Allegra has also had health problems, and now Donatella is in a clinic."

Following his death in July 1997, Gianni Versace left 50 per cent of the company to Allegra, his favourite niece. She inherited her share on 30 June.

The rest of the shares belong to Donatella, who owns 30 per cent, and Allegra’s uncle Santo, who has 20 per cent.

However, the company has seen its value tumble from £500 million to £250 million, with the accounts this month reporting a loss of almost £20 million.

According to Vogue magazine, the company denies that Donatella’s drug addiction was behind its decision not to present a spring/summer 2004 couture collection.

"The money allocated for couture was put into marketing and advertising for the ready-to-wear and accessory lines," it said.

i figure that she'd had this drug problem for a long while, so being in rehab is a good thing for her and it doesn't meanshe can't keep making clothes. not that i like her clothes much anyway. she is too much for me, too sexy. i prefer more refined femininity.

Gianni Versace murder files released

Versace was killed July 15
Family files suit to keep autopsy photos sealed
December 30, 1997
Web posted at: 3:40 p.m. EST (2040 GMT)
MIAMI BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- Miami Beach police on Tuesday released hundreds of documents on the Gianni Versace murder investigation, but withheld autopsy photos pending court action on a lawsuit filed by the fashion designer's family to keep them private.

More than 700 pages of investigative documents were released Tuesday under Florida's Public Records Act.

As expected, Miami Beach Police Chief Richard Barreto said police have concluded Andrew Cunanan murdered Versace. But he said authorities have not been able to establish a motive for the murder.

"Andrew Cunanan is the subject responsible for the homicide," Barreto said, adding the suspected serial killer had acted alone.

The Versace family had reportedly been trying quietly to stop disclosure of any of the designer's personal and financial information. However, Lou Colasuonno, a Versace family spokesman, said Tuesday the lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court was aimed only at keeping autopsy and other photos private.

"We're just asking for respect for a guy who was a murder victim," Colasuonno said. "Gianni Versace was the victim of a maniacal serial killer. And we should treat him like a victim -- with respect."

No court date has been scheduled in the suit filed on behalf of Donatella and Santo Versace, the late designer's sister and brother. Release of the photos is required by law unless the court intervenes.

Cunanan was the sole suspect in the Versace murder
Police believe Cunanan, 27, shot Versace July 15 on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion. Cunanan committed suicide a week later on a houseboat about 2 miles north of the mansion. Cunanan is suspected to have killed four other men in a cross-country shooting spree.

Barreto said the Versace investigation was the longest and most extensive probe ever undertaken by Miami Beach police.

Still, no solid motive behind the execution-style murder could be found, he said.

He said police had received two uncorroborated reports that Versace and Cunanan might have met in the past, but could not establish that there was any relationship between the two men.

"The real answer to that went down with the ship, so to speak, when Andrew Cunanan committed suicide," Barreto said.

The houseboat on which Cunanan shot himself sank recently in Miami Beach.
