Former pop star and American Idol judge Paula Abdul has issued a statement claiming stories that she has been undergoing detox are false. In fact, she goes as far as saying that she has never been drunk.
In a statement she says, Media reports that I checked into a resort for ‘detox treatment’ to overcome a drug addiction are false. I spent three days, not 30 days as reported in the media, at the La Costa Resort and Spa last November. I spent time hiking, bicycling, doing yoga and enjoying the spa. As anyone who has visited the La Costa Resort knows, it is a luxury hotel, not a rehab facility.I want to make it perfectly clear to everyone that I have never been addicted to or abused drugs in my life. I have never been drunk. I have never entered a rehab or detox treatment center.
The statement was well-timed to plug her first single in centuries (well this one anyway).
Enough of that. I am now focused on and excited about the release of my new single and my performance on American Idol. I also want to thank all of my fans for their tremendous support and encouragement through the years.
The new song is titled ‘I’m Just Here For The Music’. The song was a Kylie Minogue reject from the Body Language album. It will be the first single from Paula’s upcoming album.
