Toronto Mayor Rob Ford on Friday denied allegations that he smoked cr**k c*c*ine.
“Absolutely not true… It’s ridiculous,” Ford told reporters gathered outside his west Toronto house, before driving off in his SUV.
Reporters for the Toronto Star newspaper and Gawker Media said late Thursday they had watched a cellphone video that appears to show Ford smoking the drug.
The video is allegedly being shopped around for about $100,000 by people said to be involved in the drug trade. Reuters could not independently confirm the existence of the video.
Ford’s lawyer, Dennis Morris, did not immediately return Reuters’ requests for comment.
The Toronto Star said it stands by its reporting and the story is just one piece of a broader investigative report about Ford it has been working on for months.
“This isn’t a story that we’re going to report lightly,” said Robyn Doolittle, one of two Toronto Star reporters who said they watched the video three times.
She added: “The Toronto Star has a high bar that we always make sure we meet before we run something, especially when it comes to this mayor.”
