Fergie–the singer, not the former royal–has been speaking out about her erstwhile crystal meth addiction, likening the drug to a bad boyfriend. IMDb's headline today is "Fergie: Meth Was 'Hardest Boyfriend'", which doesn't really say much about poor Josh Duhamel. Zing!
The overgrown Cabbage Patch Kid/Black Eyed Peas songbird is doing the rounds to promote her brand new misspelled album, The Dutchess. Fergie knows that the best way to do this is to take a page from the book of Timberlake and brag about past drug use. Ooooh, you baaaaad! However, we gotta hand it to Fergie–instead of a hip cocaine problem or a grunge-era heroin addition, she cold kicked it white trash style and had a meth problem. In the new issue of Time magazine, she said that meth
"was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with. I dug deep as to why I got there. It's the drug that's addicting. But it's why you start doing it in the first place that's interesting. A lot of it was being a child actor, I learned to suppress feelings."
And nothing vents pent-up emotions quite like shooting crystal and staying up tweaked for 83 straight hours, happily picking holes in your flesh and grinding your teeth to glue! Now clean, Fergie says that she uses performing to release frustrations:
"When we're on tour I have an hour and a half of performing every night and improvising. If there's a rafter, I can climb right on it!"
And if there are pants, she'll urinate in them. And that's the sweetest release of all.
