Fergie faked eating disorder

The Black-Eyed Peas singer Fergie was so desperate to hide her drug problem, she blamed her dramatic weight loss on an eating disorder.

The Black-Eyed Peas singer Fergie was so desperate to hide her drug problem, she blamed her dramatic weight loss on an eating disorder.

The singer, real name Stacy Ferguson, was in the band Wild Orchid when she became addicted to crystal meth and lied to bandmates when they became concerned about her condition.

She explains: "They staged an intervention, at which point I told them I was bulimic (to cover up for the fact that) I was only 90 pounds.

"I put up a whole front - I even took them to Overeaters Anonymous with me. I've never been bulimic in my life, but when you're a drug addict, you lie.

"I don't want to be the poster girl for crystal meth, but it's very addicting, and people don't know just how addicting it is!"
