Site’s January Jones “Drunk” Exclusive is sloppy and wrong

“Eyewitness: January Jones Was Clearly Drunk,” reads a so-called “Hollyscoop exclusive.”
Oh, boy.
Whenever you see the words “Hollyscoop” and “exclusive” in the same paragraph, there’s a good chance it’s exclusively wrong.
Consider such recent blunders as Jennifer Aniston supposedly being cast in Scream 4 and Matt Lauer having an ‘affair’ with a woman named Alexis Houston, who they claimed was Whitney Houston‘s half-sister, but was not even related – nor was a woman.
(Ha!)
This time around, Hollyscoop steps in it – and drags it across the room, so to speak – by claiming repeatedly that “Mad Men” star January Jones’s car accident was a result of her being “drunk.”
Not only does the poorly reported site say “drunk” in its headline, but it also uses such phrases as, “Sources at the scene of the accident tell Hollyscoop EXCLUSIVELY that January ‘smelled like a brewery’ when she got out of her car,” and “January, who was clearly intoxicated was also advised by neighbors to go home before cops arrived and she was charged with a D.U.I. “
The Hollyscoop piece ends, “Eyewitnesses were surprised that she didn’t get arrested ‘because she was so drunk.’”
Gossip Cop isn’t all that surprised that Hollyscoop could be so wrong and so reckless with the facts.
As Gossip Cop – and, subsequently, numerous other outlets – reported, Jones was NOT drunk. Her crash occurred as a result of being pursued by the paparazzi.
In fact, an official with the Los Angeles Police Department explicitly told Gossip Cop, “There was no evidence of alcohol.”
Frankly, we’re more inclined to believe actual cops than a bunch of hacks who repeatedly file false reports.
