George Clooney’s girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis has been implicated in a sex and drug scandal after an escort claims she snorted cocaine with the Italian television personality in a Milan nightclub linked to a high-class prostitution ring in 2007.
Two years ago, authorities began investigating two Milan nightspots that were allegedly running an escort-and-prostitution ring fuelled by alcohol and cocaine. The clubs — Hollywood and The Club — were regularly frequented by celebrities. According to model-turned-hooker Karima Menad, 26, Elisabetta took the drug twice while partying at The Club.
“I remember taking cocaine with Elisabetta Canalis and two others. We were in The Club and it was December 2007. We had been at a party of some famous, rich celebrity whose name I cannot remember. I don’t remember who brought the drugs but we all took it,” Menad told prosecutors in 2008, a year before Canalis, 31, began dating the Oscar-nominated Clooney, 49.
Canalis — a former showgirl — is a host for MTV Italy.
