Ryder’s repesentative fires back at shoplifting report

March 20th, 2008  |  Published in Latest News  |  11 Comments

Winona Ryder’s publicist has blasted reports the actress has been caught up in another shoplifting scandal as “not accurate”. The Heathers star, who was convicted of stealing $6,000 (GBP3,000) worth of clothes from a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills in 2002, reportedly tried to leave a Hollywood pharmacy with make-up items she hadn’t paid for. Staff members claim the actress appeared stunned when security bosses confronted her as she left the CVS store and set alarms off. A pharmacy worker reveals, “A security guard stopped her and found make-up she hadn’t paid for.” The actress, 36, allegedly insisted she had no idea how the items ended up in her bag. According to U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer, Ryder returned the items and the police were not called to the store. But the actress’ publicist has dismissed the story, stating, “There’s no truth to this. It’s not accurate.” [Contact Music]

‘Sticky fingers’ Winona Ryder in new shoplifting scandal, claims magazine

winonag1903_228x577.jpgA shopping trip has put Winona Ryder in the news again.

The 36-year-old actress was spotted leaving a Hollywood store with make-up on her that she hadn’t paid for, according to a US report.

Actress Winona made headlines six years ago, when at the peak of her career she was convicted of shoplifting £3,000 worth of clothing from a Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.

Now in a new incident, according to America’s National Enquirer magazine, the Girl Interrupted star recently set off the security alarm at Hollywood CVC Pharmacy after making several purchases.

According to the publication, when she left the store, she set off an alarm that drew the attention of a security guard.

A store employee is quoted as saying: “Winona had a bag of stuff, but she set off the theft alarm when she left the store.

“When a security guard stopped her, he found make-up she had not paid for.”

And when she was asked about the make-up, Winona answered: “I don’t know how that happened.”

The store employee added: “We took unpaid items back and she left the store.”

Winona’s publicist at first denied the incident took place. But when told a store employee had confirmed it, said she would check with her again.

In Winona’s past shoplifting scandal back in 2002, she claimed as part of her defence that she stole from a Beverly Hills store to prepare for a film role.

But the court found her guilty, and she was sentenced to three years probation and 480 hours of community service. [DailyMail]

    yes hilary when my heart speak about winona ryder it’s true
    Winona ryder have this power to help people to live in this world, no many actress or actors, or people have that. Don’t forget that. She help me to live everyday of my life.
    When I have problem I say in my mind “what does she do at my place, what attitude she take” and I imagine her attitude. When i’m nervous, i watch one of noni’s film( i have her complete filmographie on Dvd just Squaredance I don’t have but search, i have darwin award and scanner darkly, it’s difficult to find them but me i ‘m not a person like the other i’m winonafanabsolute. Well for me it’s my psychological angel, my sister, i say my sister(psychological), my friend forever who saved my life.well I watch Noni’s film and when see her, the noni’s smile, the noni’s look, the Noni’s eyes, her attitude, i ‘m all right
    Nony don’ stop that work in the cinéma you are essential for me and for the fan like you Hilary. You Saved my life Now it’s me . The next text it’s for you Winona for to help you to understand what hapened at the CVS: For me it’s make a point of duty to say that, it’s my theory about this shoplifting:
    YOU ARE A SERIAL SHOPPER YES ? EVERYBODY KNOW THAT . OK
    WHEN YOU GO TO SHOPPING,IT’S NOT JUST FOR A PIECE OF STEAK FOR YOUR DINER. WHEN YOU GO INTO A STORE YOU BUY MANY ITEMS, A LOT OF ITEMS AT ONCE, LIKE MANY PEOPLE AT HOLLYWOOD (SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, SALMA AYEK AND OTHERS). THE SHOPLIFTING’S DAY YOU TOOK SO MANY ITEMS AT ONCE WHETHER YOU HAD NO RECOLLECTION TO BEING OF MAKE UP ITEMS AT THE CVS STORE, YOU SAID WHAT HAPENED IN FIRST REACTION? IT’S NORMAL. YOU TOOK THIS MAKE UP ITEMS AND PUT INTO YOUR BAG WITH THE INTENTION TO PAY FOR THEM BUT WITH THE TIME AND A LOT OF ITEMS TAKING BY YOU AT THE STORE At THE END YOU HAVE HAVE FINISHED BY TO FORGET THEM COMPLETLY INTO YOUR BAG. YOU HAD NO RECOLLECTION TO BEING THEM INTO YOUR BAG, WITH A LOT OF ITEMS YOU HAVE FORGOT WITH THE TIME THAT YOU TOOK THE MAKE UP ITEMS BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO TO SHOPPING YOU DON’T HAVE SHOPPING’S LIST YES ? YOU TAKE SOMETHING, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT BEFORE, BECAUSE IT’S A HEART WHO SPEAK, AND YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MANY THINGS YOU GO BUY AND YOU TAKE SO MANY ITEMS SOMETIMES AND YOU FORGET SOME SOMETIMES, YOU FORGET TO PAY SOME ITEMS BECAUSE WITH THE TIME YOU FINISED BY NO RECOLLECTION TO BEING THEM INTO YOUR BAG AND YOU GO OUT THE CVS STORE WITH THEM UNPAID, BECAUSE WITH TO MANY ITEMS YOU HAD NO RECOLLECTION OF BEING THOSE ITEMS AND YOU FORGOT THOSE MAKE UP ITEMS INTO YOUR BAGS, YOUR SHOPLIFTING IS AN ACCIDENT, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IT’S PROBABLY THAT NOT OTHERWISE FOR ME, YOU ARE NOT KLEPTOMANIAC, LADY, JUST A LITTLE ABSENT MINDED WINONA. BE CAREFULL WITH THAT, TAKE A SHOPPING LIST NEXT TIME NONI.IT WAS NOT YOUR INTENTION TO STEAL THE MAKE UP ITEMS I KNOW THAT BUT YOU FORGET THEM INTO YOUR BAG BECAUSE YOU HAD NO RECOLLECTION TO BEING THEM INTO YOUR BAG. AT HOLLYWOOD IT’S PROBABLY NOT RARE WITH THE OTHERS CELEBRITY BUT THE STORES SAY NOTHING ABOUT FOR THEM CAREERS OF ACTOR OR ACTRESS. THAT COME PROBABLY MORE OFTEN THAN WE KNOW FOR THE STORE AT HOLLYWOOD. IT’S MUST BE COME TO THE OTHER ACTRESS OR ACTORS. WINONA IS JUST A LITTLE ABSENT MINDED SOMETIMES JUST THAT SHE NOT STEAL . SHE IS NOT A KLEPTOMANIAC PERSON . YOU ARE NOT BAD GIRL WINONA, SHE IS NOT A BAD GIRL JUST A LITTLE ABSENT MINDED, BE CAREFULL WITH THAT WINONA
    IT’S PROBABLE AND PROBABLY THE SOLUTION AT THE RIDDLE AND ME I BELIEVE IN THAT BUT PLEASE WINONA TAKE A SHOPPING LIST WHEN I GO TO THE STORE OR WRITE WHAT DO YOU TAKE TO THE STORE IT’S FOR WHEN YOU PAY? YOU PAY FOR ALL ITEMS AND YOU DON’T FORGET TO PAY SOME ITEMS WITH YOUR SHOPPING LIST

    i say it’s probable and probably the solution at the riddle and i believe in that but please winona take a shopping list when you goto the store or write what do you take to the store then when you go to pay for, you pay for all items and you don’t forget some items with this shopping list

    (no this (?) )

    In clear And on the good english That my théorie

    You’re fond of shopping? Well, we all know that, all right.
    When you go shopping, it’s not just for buying some food for dinner. When you go shopping, you buy a lot of stuff, all at once, like many others in Hollywood (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Salma Ayek, etc). The day you were caught shoplifting at CVS, you had gathered way too many articles at once. That you didn’t remember the make-up you had in your bag, as you mentioned, is all too normal. You picked this make-up, put it in your bag, and it probably slipped under some other stuff you had in that bag. The fact the matter is, you don’t use a “shopping list” for the kind of shopping you do, you just follow your instinct, listen to your heart and pick things as you see them. And at the end, you just forget all that you had selected during these shopping sprees (and please don’t take that as judgmental, it’s just a fact). What appeared to be shoplifting was just an incident, nothing intentional. You’re not kleptomaniac, you’re just easily distracted and absent minded. Be careful with that Noni! Maybe next time, you should use a “shopping list”…
    Winona, the cameras have captured your fateful acts. But sometimes a camera conveys the wrong impression, fails to represent the true intentions, because they observe the being, not the soul. You had the intention to pay, I am certain of that, and you simply forgot these articles sitting hidden in the bottom of your bag. And when you walked out, the electronic sensors detected these unpaid articles. That’s what you said happened, and that’s what you told the security crew. It’s all too frequent for stars like you, in Hollywood, to be stressed by the ever present impression of being watched, spied on almost, and one can quickly conclude to kleptomania, where in fact it’s strictly a distraction on your part. Winona, as I said, please pay attention when you go buy lots of things, do a list, stay focused, and you’ll stay out of trouble. I believe that’s the answer and the solution to this enigma.
    Your shoplifting is an accident, i know what happened it’s probably that not otherwise for me, you are not Kleptomaniac Lady,
    remember that Winona you are just easily distracted and a little absent minded. be carefull with that Noni, Maybe next time, you should use a “shopping list”…
    It wasn’t your intention to steal the make up items I know that you simply forgot these articles sitting hidden by inadvertently in the bottom of your bag. At Hollywood It’s probably not rare with the others celebrity but the stores say nothing about for them careers of actor or actress sometimes. that come probably more often than we know for the store at Hollywood . it’s must be come to the other actress or actor. Winona you are just a little absent mindedor easily distracted sometimes, just that be carefull with that Winona. You not steal. you aren’t a kleptomaniac person . You are not a bad girl, she is not a bad girl
    it’s probable, it’s probably the solution to the enigma and me i believe in that but please Winona do a shopping list write what do you take into the stores, Next time Lady, OK Winona ? please
