Fergie Recounts Crystal Meth Addiction

Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas tells Time magazine she had to dig deep into herself to kick her crystal meth addiction. “It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with,” the singer said. “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.” When asked what she does now with those feelings, she said, “I have an hour and a half of performing every night and improvising. If there’s a rafter, I can climb right on.”
