Comments on: Fergie romanticizes gangs, her life was almost ruined by crystal meth http://www.celebitchy.com/75335/fergie_romanticizes_gangs_her_life_was_almost_ruined_by_crystal_meth/ Stylish celebrity escapism Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:59:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lita http://www.celebitchy.com/75335/fergie_romanticizes_gangs_her_life_was_almost_ruined_by_crystal_meth/#comment-483221 Lita Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:43:07 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=75335#comment-483221 I get what Lway is saying (or think I do) - that you are a failure for falling into addiction and troubles in the first place. Society generally tollerates recreational drug use in the young - but once it is an "addiction" your life isn't in your control. And that is certainly not winning, and it is widely looked down on (rightly, imo). As a sidenote, I've never known an addict that doesn't wish they weren't one most of the time. I don't like Fergie's music at all (actually that's an understatement) so it isn't like I go in for reading about her much but she does tend to talk about (talk up?) her bad ol' past a hell of a lot imo. There is honesty and then there is harping. I get what Lway is saying (or think I do) – that you are a failure for falling into addiction and troubles in the first place.

It is a part of certain people's lives. I do not say it is something to be proud of, but it sure as heck isn't something to be ashamed of either. We are all human and we all have our Kryptonite. I think admitting to one's failures and faux paux in l;ife makes us stronger, not weaker. The fact that she talks about it could also be because she is ASKED about it, much like Robert Downey Jr, Angelina Jolie and other celebs, who will on occassion, talk about their drug past. If she skirts the issue, then people will call her a liar, if she talks about it, people want her to STFU. Make up your minds people, do you want glossy kitty and puppy tales, or the truth when a celebrity talks?! Look, being a drug addict is nothing to be ashamed of.

I don't see it as "bragging" at all. she's just relating her story of addiction and recovery. If even one person decides that they could get clean because of her being able to, it's a good thing.

I don't think it's an issue of being weak and failing, it's about addiction and chemical dependence. Lway, while I’m proud that you overcame your addictions I have 2 brothers who still struggle.

I am happily married with 2 beautiful children and i've been clean for 8 years now. I don't go around telling people all the details - i am proud of the fact that i could break free from it - that is all people need to know, It's not something to "brag" about - it's something you should be ashamed of Fergie! You failed, you were not strong enough to resist it - STFU already! I am younger than Fergie and am also a recovered drug addict.

More like her face never made it a secret. “Fergie has never made it a secret that she was once a pretty hardcore drug user.”
