Black eyed peas front woman, Stacy Ferguson- AKA Fergie- has admitted she was addicted to chrystal meth. The singer - who beat her addiction to crystal meth five years ago - used to tell her parents she was suffering from an eating disorder when they questioned her about her rapid weight loss, caused by her heavy drug use. She admits that her desire to perform encouraged her to clean up and start taking control of her addiction, and her life. Fergie tells Giant mag more about her meth addiction. "It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with.It's the drug that's addicting. I got to the point where I was doing meth day and night and had no more money. I was hearing voices. I thought people were after me. I wasn't talking to any of my friends or family. I actually lost so much weight that my friends did an intervention. So I lied and said I was bulimic, just making stuff up." Before embarking on her musical career, Fergie starred in the classic US sitcoms 'Mr Belvedere' and 'Married With Children' and also appeared in cult horror spoof 'Monster in the Closet'.
