Meth-Addled Fergie Thought FBI Was Hiding In Muffins

thubmnail icon: Meth-Addled Fergie Thought FBI Was Hiding In Muffins

Meth is definitely not funny, kids. But, if you Google "methface," you get links to pictures of Fergie. That's funny. We're serious, it's how we found the image for this post. It's no wonder our second favorite Black Eyed Pea is so associated with the drug. In the April issue of Marie Claire, she discusses one of her meth-ier moments. For those of you who read the headline: She's talking about actual muffins, not her lady lumps...

Via ABC News:

I had about 20 different conspiracy theories. I painted the windows in my apartment black so they couldn't see in," Fergie told Marie Claire, explaining that she thought the FBI was after her during her brief addiction to methamphetamines around 2001.
One day, when I was about 90 pounds, a guy comes up to me. ... I'm searching in the bushes for clues about whatever they're after me for. I'm in a cowboy hat and red lips. He hands me a muffin. I'm thinking, he's in on it.

Her meth stories are so risiculous.

I once lived in an apartment complex where I was accosted in the parking lot at 4AM by a meth addict who was eating a bag of peanuts and waiting for his dealer. He only spoke to me because he thought I was a cop, and I'm positive he hadn't showered in two weeks. He also claimed to be afraid of "the shadow people" (an apparent effect on one's vision from the meth and also a sign of possible blindness).

So in this case, risiculous doesn't quite accurately capture encountering a meth addict in the wild.

A cranked out Fergie and a sentient talking muffin who works for the FBI? The amazing adventures of this crime solving duo needs to be on TV immediately!
