Teri Hatcher: ‘I Haven’t Been Giving My Daughter Sex Advice!’
Thursday, September 11th, 2008 | Celebrity Sex | No Comments
Teri Hatcher is refuting claims that she advised her young daughter to have “great sex [and] eat the chocolate” — insisting her advice column for a British magazine was taken out of context.
The Desperate Housewives star was left mortified when a leaked version of her new Glamour column led to headlines about sex advice she has been giving her child.
But Teri insists the world’s media misrepresented her comments.
She tells TV show Entertainment Tonight, “[The editor] asked me to write an article about what you would want to leave your child with … And so immediately, with my dark sense of humor, I imagined my high heel being stuck in a train track and a train coming — and they say your life flashes before your eyes — what would I think?
“And I would yell out all of these things … and I would yell out whatever, and then the second I was dead I would go, ‘Wait a second, what did I say? That wasn’t what I wanted to say at all!’ So I introduced the article with that sense of humor.
“In the intro to the article, I say in the sort of, you know, screaming way, ‘Eat chocolate, have sex, don’t stress out, life’s too short, don’t worry about the little things.’ I even added, ‘Don’t sit on public toilet seats and don’t forget to floss.’ Clearly, that’s supposed to be a funny riff. And right after that, literally the next sentence says, ‘That’s not what I would say to my daughter at all! Oh my God, what did I just say?’ Meaning that, it was [written] in a sense of humor.”
She added, “No matter what you want to be in life, whether it’s a doctor or an actress or a dogwalker, you have to work hard at it to be successful. That’s one of the points. I think those things. I really believe in those things. The sex and the chocolate is like a funny thing we all say.”
Criticizing the media for suggesting that she would advise her 10-year-old daughter to have sex, Hatcher said, “That is so slanderous to me. The is so egregiously accusing me of horrible parenting when I have done nothing in my life and in my celebrity life but vocalize how important parenting should be to each and every one of us.”
Glamour editor Jo Elvin added, “Quotes taken from Teri Hatcher’s October British Glamour article have been grossly misreported and taken out of context by the worldwide media.
“We are disappointed that the true meaning of the column, written by Teri, which is always heartfelt and thought-provoking, has been twisted in this way in order to manufacture a headline. False media claims report Teri telling her daughter to have great sex (and) eat the chocolate, but… this misstates Teri’s words.
“In fact, in her column, she said that this is ‘not what I wanted my daughter to know at all.’
“Teri Hatcher is a wonderful mother and the article truly represents great messages about living life as a woman and a mother with grace, humor and wisdom. We will be posting the article on [their website] so that it can be read in its entirety and true context.”
