Sean Penn Fires Back At Wyclef Jean After Cocaine Comment

The celebrity feud between former Haiti presidential hopeful Wyclef Jean and Sean Penn is heating up after Penn fired back at Jean for accusing him of "sniffing cocaine" while lending a hand to earthquake relief in the disaster-ravaged country.
"Mr. Jean is clearly unfamiliar with the physical demands put upon volunteers in Haiti," Sean Penn's spokesperson said in a statement. "As aid workers there, the notion of depleting the body's immune system thru the use of illicit drugs is ludicrous."
Penn has been living in a tent in Haiti since the beginning of the year, working with the J/P Haitian Relief Organization, the non-profit he founded following the earthquake that ravaged the poor nation. After Wyclef announced his bid to run for president of Haiti, Sean told Larry King that Jean hadn't been seen in the country for months.
Last week, Wyclef, who was deemed ineligible to run for president due to non-residency, dissed Penn in song at a concert, singing "I got a message for Sean Penn: Maybe he ain't see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine."
Sean's rep added that "J/P Haitian Relief Organization (a.k.a. JPHRO) has a ZERO tolerance policy for any and all illegal drugs," referring to the non-governmental organization the actor co-founded to help the island just hours after the quake hit. "As the leader of this organization, Sean Penn has not only set this policy, but adheres to it. That Mr. Jean would make such a false accusation is reckless and saddening, but not surprising."
And I guess we'll have to see how Wyclef responds to this latest round!
