Paula Abdul sure is easily confused. Two days ago Ladies Home Journal had an interview with her in which she talked about her painkiller addiction and dealing with the withdrawals. A week and a half before that spoke to Nightline and claimed she’d never even been drunk, let alone been addicted to pills. She’s also claimed she suffers from a neurological disorder called complex regional pain syndrome, and has at times said she has to take painkillers to deal with it – which is understandable. Except when she claims she’s never even taken painkillers.
Now Paula is once again issuing a bunch of confusing denials.
Paula Adbul called into Detriot’s Mojo In The Morning radio show Thursday morning and — in a stunning statement — said she never told Ladies Home Journal that she had been addicted to painkillers.
Calling it “stressful”, Abdul says she was taken out of context in the article.
Abdul says — despite what the magazine wrote — she’s never been addicted to painkillers or abused booze. She says she also never checked into a rehab clinic. What makes this so surprising is that the article includes direct quotes from Paula to the contrary.
The singer, 46, didn’t respond to a question about whether she would sue Ladies Home Journal, but did say her camp would issue a statement about the matter later Thursday.

All of this leads me to believe that Paula either has some mental issues, some memory issues, or (most likely) has indeed been intoxicated when she’s made some of these claims. How else can she explain clearly being under the influence of some sort of substance, while also claiming she’s never taken a single painkiller? Ladies Home Journal isn’t exactly known as a fabricator of quotes. That means within the span of two weeks Paula told Nightline she’d never been drunk or taken painkillers, and then talked about her battle with addiction to Ladies Home Journal. Either Paula’s on something, or she has some serious issues with the truth.

This kind of erratic behavior tells me she’s still abusing substances and still in denial about being an addict. This is very sad. She’s fooling no one but herself.

She needs to carry a tape recorder with her or hire someone to remind her what stories she’s already told. She’s too whacked out to remember obviously.

One of the commenters actually predicted this denial and I thought, “No, this is too obvious to deny later.” Welp- Guess I was wrong.

You could tell on American Idol that she was pilled up by the way she talked.

As a painkiller addict of 13 years I can tell you, she is doing an about face so she’ll be able to get them again. She doesn’t want Dr.’s thinking she’s just an addict looking for meds.
