How Courteney Cox’s daughter gave play-date head lice

LONDON - Courteney Cox has said that she got really embarrassed when her five-year-old daughter Coco infected the daughter of another celebrity pal with head lice.

Although the ‘Friends’ star refused to name the Academy Award-winning actress whose offspring was infected, she said that she really felt humiliated when little Coco’s play date with the celebrity tot went awry.

“I look over and she (Coco) is itching her hair… I was so panicked, so I called her (the actress) up and I was like, ‘Guess what? We’re either going to be the best of friends, or you’re never going to talk to me again.’ And I said, Coco did in fact have lice.’ She said, ‘Oh, it’s just a right of passage.’ She was so sweet,” The Daily Express quoted her as explaining.

However, the situation turned worse when Cox realised that the bugs had infested her head as well.

“I got it and it isn’t so funny anymore - especially when the paparazzi follow you (into the hair salon),” she added. (ANI)
