Train Wrecks
Fergie's Meth Meltdown

Not so Fergalicious: Black Eyed Peas' Fergie has come clean about her addiction to meth, and in this month's Self magazine, she talks about a particularly hamper-ing moment on the drug.

One time she was so paranoid on the drug that she talked to her hamper for eight hours straight. "I remember thinking somebody was inside of it, going to come and get me, so I was talking to the person who was crawling in the hamper," she admits. Now that's a bad trip!

17. FERGIE IS NOT AN ADDICT ANYMORE. she was talking about a moment in her PAST. do you really think a celebrity like fergie would come out in the open and admit, "i'm a meth addict and last night i talked to my hamper for several hours!" no. this was YEARS ago, so please stop with the comments wishing her well and hoping she breaks her addiction!!!

18. I don't like her music whatsoever, but I don't have any problem with her as a person. As a fellow recovering (heroin) addict (I have done meth before too, and, I had a similar paranoid reaction), I hope she gets the help she needs and truly gets better, and doesn't just put on a whole publicity show like so many celebrities do these days. Get better, Fergie. You can do it, with the right help!

19. METH is the Devil's drug no doubt, I have a friend that can't seem to get off it! No matter how hard he tries, he keeps going back to it.

Now, what are these other stories of Fergie being so F'd up on Tequila? An ex-meth head shouldn't be drinking nor hanging in the bars. Not a good idea. I just hope those stories are NOT true and she sticks to her sobriety for life. She has way too much to lose.

Good luck Ferg

23. lmgdfao Now THAT'S funny, Kids Incorporated strung-out, druggie whore. I wonder what Full House star Jodie Sweetin did on all her bad meth trips. lol Hell, her husband was actually a COP when she was doing crystal methadone.

24. i think she's making it up, or grossly exaggerating to get attention. Maybe she did meth a few times, but i doubt it was as bad as she's making it out to be. If she's addicted to anything, it's attention, and to attention"addicts" pity is just an other form of attention and they take whatever they can get.

26. #24 querty,,...don't underestimate meth, speed, or crank....after days of sleep depervation, you can have paranoid delusional thoughts, or experiences.....cycosis can occur, which can result in PARANOID SCHITZOPHRENIA......."ever see a homeless man"""talking 2 himself"""....it's actually quite sad%%

27. It is extremely sad that people that are talented (athletes) beautiful (models/actors) find that their lives are so bad that they need to turn to drugs. They have so much money and so much potential to do good for others..Instead the media hounds them and gives them so little privacy that they are constantly harassed. Still I find it very sad that anyone would turn to drugs as a solution to problems or just to have fun. The examples they are setting for "fans" who follow their every move and copy them is terrible. Talking to hamper is not funny. It is pathetic. Here is a woman who could have so much and she chooses to blow her looks, her mind and her body on drugs that cause her to believe people are in her hamper. Sad.

28. TO EVERYONE WHO IS SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT FERGIE FOR ONE:
SHE WAS ON METH YEARS BEFORE SHE BECAME FAMOUS
1)I GIVE HER CREDIT FOR BEING HONEST ABOUT HER PAST ON THAT STUFF
2)METH IS A DRUG THAT IS HARD AS HELL TO GET OFF OF
3)I COMMEND HER FOR GETTING OFF THAT STUFF
4)AND UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN ADDICTED TO DRUGS SOMETIME IN YOUR LIFE DO NOT PASS JUDGEMENT. NOT MANY CELEBRITIES ARE WILLING TO TALK ABOUT THEIR TIME ON DRUGS AND BEING ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY BEAT IT AND LIVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
LIKE I SAID BEFORE I COMMEND HER FOR GETTING THE HELP THAT SHE NEEDED TO GET OFF OF DRUGS. GOOD LUCK TO HER.

29. I don't understand how celebrities who are addicted to Meth like Fergie does not show the physical signs and symptoms of taking this drug! Usually, you can always tell who is using Meth from their rotting teeth and the sores on their faces! Are celebrities immune to the side effects of Meth, or what?

30. BETH,,,,,,,,,,meth is my favorite subject,,,,until completely gonzo,, it is usually easy to hide, she is athletic and talented,,,dancer, singer ect..The stuff can actually keep you in shape, 4 a bit, i have seen pictures of Fergie w-out make up, she is not that hot..NO OFFENSE..i jumped in the ocean, many morings before work, during my twenties & the salt water kept me looking healthy....NO ONE IS IMMUNE, EXPERIENCE COUNTS,,,BE CAREFULL..
