The editor of Glamour Magazine UK has jumped to Teri Hatcher’s defense after statements the Desperate Housewives actress made in a guest column for the publication were taken out of context.

Teri’s parenting skills were called into question late last week after a leaked version of her Glamour column led to headlines about poor eating habits and sex advice she has been giving her young daughter, Emerson.

“Quotes taken from Teri Hatcher’s October British Glamour article have been grossly misreported and taken out of context by the worldwide media,” Glamour editor Jo Elvin writes in Teri’s defense.

“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, humour and wisdom. We will be posting the article on www.glamourmagazine.co.uk so that it can be read in it’s entirety and true context.”
